Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels

Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (named Super Mario Bros.: 2 in Japan, and more recently Super Mario Bros. 2: For Super Players), is a Mario game which closely resembles the original Super Mario Bros. and is not to be confused with the European and American Super Mario Bros. 2.

Super Mario Bros. 2 was released in 1986 for the Famicom Disk System to Japan only. It uses a slightly altered Super Mario Bros.’s engine, with different levels and new features including altered graphics and new enemy behavior. Nintendo of America originally deemed this game too challenging and too much like the original to sell well in western countries, so it adapted an unpopular Japanese game called Doki Doki Panic and released it in those parts as Super Mario Bros. 2.

The first time this game was released in Europe and America was its remake in Super Mario All-Stars. Here it was named Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. with text under the box title reading For Super Players.
