Synopsis: Originally only available on the never-released-outside-Japan Famicom Disc System add-on for the NES, this is the original version of "Super Mario Bros. 2" in which Shigeru Miyamoto, the father of Mario, showed off his ROM hacking skills. The brutal difficulty and overall lack of improvements over the original "Super Mario Bros." caused Nintendo to withhold this game from the West until 2007, when it was released via Wii's Virtual Console.

A more difficult version of the original Super Mario Bros. the addition of the "bad" mushroom wasn't exactly a good idea. That might be the only new thing about the game. I enjoyed playing it, it's definitely better than the U.S. version of the Super Mario Bros. 2.

There's only one thing to say about the original Japanese version of "Super Mario Bros. 2": The levels were lost for a reason.
