You've never seen an adventure like this!

Super Mario Bros. 2 ad, I remember this and I remember being really excited, though not as much as I ended up being for Mario 3.

Um... Uh... Yeah....

And thus we get back to where Mario 2 USA got it's start, Doki Doki Panic. Typical cheesy humor I guess... Odd that the last little flash card at the end shows Mario and Peach there.

This isn't a commercial, and the dialog is a little stilted, but this guy has a similar sentiment to my own. I don't get why people claim Mario 2 sucked, and not only that, that it sucked BECAUSE it was an altered version of a previous Nintendo game. That doesn't make sense. It doesn't belong on any list of "worst Mario games of all time". The other half of the complaints are that this game "screwed us out of" the real Mario 2. While that was true during the NES days, that was fixed pretty quickly when Super Mario All-Stars came along with Lost Levels. Since most kids became aware of the missing game BECAUSE of the announcement of this game, I really don't get their complaints, since they're complaining about us "not getting" it years, decades even, after it WAS made available in the US. Heck, not only that they did port it (in an "easy mode" version) to the GBC with Super Mario Bros. DX, and with the Wii, the original Famicom version was finally released, completely unaltered, as a Wii console download in all regions. I bought it! To top it all off, while I personally am disappointed in how they handled it, you CAN get Mario All-Stars for the Wii now, which still has Lost Levels in it, so not only did we get the game pretty quickly in the US (compared to games like the real Final Fanasy 2 & 3 or the still-unreleased Mother 1), but it's been released 4 seperate times over the years, two very recently, so really, what is there to possibly complain about? Just enjoy the game we got, enjoy the memories, AND enjoy "Lost Levels" in whatever way you want to get it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
