I love when Nintendo forgot to make an American Super Mario Bros sequel gotta love them
I will give it to them though they picked a good game to reskin. It's fun and silly and very much not like any other 2D Mario title that's for sure. It's become an integral part of Mario's history though. There's still countless references to it to this day.

This game is quite odd and frankly frustrating with its enemy placement. But it has its strengths. Most notably the multiple characters. They all provide different play styles for your preference (I dont know why you wouldnt pick Peach but anyway.)
Certainly outshined by 3 but a solid NES game nonetheless. Better than Lost Levels for sure.

There are two wolves inside of me. One says "A ROCKET. A ROCKET???! WHAT DID WE SAY ABOUT AESTHETIC CONSISTENCY TIMMY!!" and the other says "it actually brought almost as many series staples as Super Mario Bros. while the elements that did not return really sully the game" and both wolves are right actually I'm not picking any political wing today.
Atleast the ending is accurate. I wish this game was a dream too! Alas... Birdo (which was supposed to be the ostrich enemy's name apparently) turned out to be mad annoying before she transed her gender and i never got used to dealing with the eggs. Or the fireworks coming out that mouth.... yo wtf Birdo eat lmao

I think this game is god awful, I have never been more irritated playing a game, and no wonder tutorial magazines existed back then I had no idea what to do sometimes, sure maybe that's on me, but it's god awful. So many things are confusing and tedious. But I can't lie it has a lot of upsides. The music design is amazing, the platforming can be fun AT TIMES, and it still feels like a completely unique game that was surely to be a standalone success.
Super Mario Bros. 2 was the best part of 1988 for me. I say this without a trace of shame, because this fun, silly game got me through some pretty dark days. And I only found out many years later that the game was a reskin of Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, but that does nothing to diminish the thrills of discovery and the joy I experienced with it.
its fine for the time and i think that the differences make it pretty cool from the first game, but it just felt like a slog to get through and felt way to long, the soundtrack gets annoying after awhile too. not bad just not to my liking.
also did you know.... nevermind i'm not gonna make that joke.
