Very Janky game, lot of the levels feel very rushed and confusing, the layouts are nowhere near as tight as other entries in the mario series. The best way I've heard Mario bros 2 described is Bizzaro Mario. Obviously it was a different game (doki doki) and it really shows.

There is things I like from this game, the last world in particular is pretty stellar from a gameplay perspective. The ending screen is iconic and Wart was a great big bad. Wart is one of my favorite characters from any video game honestly he just has a very funny and great design for an NES title.

Cant say I hate it, although I cant really say I like it. Dont think I'd ever seek out playing this again besides the GBA Version which I think handles much better.
