Mario 2


Windex

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if you all know or not but the Mario 2 that you grew up with and loved was really not a mario game at all.. yes that explains why it was SOO incredibly different! The version we all grew up was really just a rip off of a Japanese game called "Doki Doki Panic" the REAL Mario 2 was only sold in Japan in fear that american gamers would find it too difficult. This game also featured 2 different modes. Mario or Luigi, Luigi could jump higher but took longer to stop.

Check it out on Wikipedia

If any of you would like to play the original version let me know i have all the files necessary to play it (it's not just a good ole .nes file)

I just don't want to put it up on ftp! :unsure:

ummmm yeah..... you've been living with the lie for that long? :D

 

I played the "real" mario 2 on the super mario all-stars package for snes, and it was indeed the single most difficult mario game I've ever played. I never would have finished it if the snes package didn't give you the option to save progress.

Yeah I've known about it for quite some time too, however I was talking to some friends the other day who had no clue about it.. blew me away! Sooo figured I'd make a post to inform anyone else who'd been living a lie! :)
