Super Mario Bros. 2

Super Mario Bros. 2’s genesis came about in 1987, when Nintendo of America got it’s first look at the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2. Nintendo of America believed that Super Mario Bros. 2, which was a slightly altered version of the first Super Mario Bros. game with an increased difficulty level, would not be a commercial success in the United States and elsewhere in the world.

Many characters and abilities from Super Mario Bros. 2 later reappeared in the Super Mario series. Luigi’s ability to Jump higher and stay in the air longer than Mario comes from this game, as well as Peach’s occasional ability to hover in midair and pull vegetables from the ground (Super Smash Bros. Melee). Shy Guys, Snifits, Bob-ombs, Pokeys, and Birdo were also introduced and would later be incorporated into later Mario Brothers games. Wart, the main villain, never reappeared in a video game, but has made an appearance in the Nintendo Comics System and has been mentioned in later games. He did, however, appear in Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening under his Japanese name, «Mamu».
