Super Mario Bros. 2:Lost Levels

Super Mario Bros. 2: Lost Levels


In 1988 Nintendo created Super Mario Bros. 2; Lost Levels but replaced this game with Super Mario Bros. 2. Should Nintendo have replaced it?


In this game Mario plays the same role as in the first accept the levels are different and the death-shroom was add it the mix. Unlike the Super Mario Bros.2, Mario and Luigi are the only playable characters and the classic enemies return as well as the item blocks. The graphics between Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2:Lost Level, are very similar, however the background is a little different. Another similarity between the two is the level designs and secret rooms. The controls also stay the same throughout the Mario Bros Series.The music holds the same charm during game play and the story also is the same. The length is eight worlds but the game saves itself between worlds. Bowser also rules the fourth level in each world with the original bridge battle. The difficulty though is much harder that the first and can be hard for inexperienced players. Overall, I found this game to be the real Super Mario Bros. 2 because this game adds to the original but keeps it great!

Super Mario Bros. 3

Super Mario Bros. 3




In 1988 Super Mario Bros. 2 was released and lacked the Super Mario feel, will Super Mario Bros. 3 save the Mario feel or will it lack the feel?

This game has better graphics and the first world map in the Mario series. The game also introduces the return of the classic Mario enemies and adds some more enemies to the list. (Boo, Dry Bones, Koopa Kids, etc.) Since this game has a world map it let Nintendo stretch the games length and difficulty. Also because of the world map, Nintendo added toad houses and matching areas to the world. The characters are animated even more vibrant and amazing level design creates a fun environment. Nintendo added the Fire Flower and many other power suits to help you through the Mushroom Kingdom. However, the levels are a little short and the story repeats itself once again. Besides that, Super Mario Bros. 3 is full of secrets and a variety of bosses. The bosses consist of the the koopa kids and Bowser, however the koopa kid battle are pretty much alike and gets annoying when repeated. The levels are also full of lively music and you can see the creativity that Nintendo. This game is instant classic and is a must have.
