Super Mario Bros. 2 is a bizarre sequel to one of the most iconic video game mascots, but it’s a good game nonetheless. Instead of Goombas, Koopas, or Bowser himself, we have Shy Guys, birds with magic carpets, and Birdo. I think you all know the history surrounding this game, so I don't think I need to go over that.
It has aged in a few areas, and a few bosses can be quite a nuisance to beat when you're playing this for the first time (looking at you Fryguy), but it’s still a fun experience with solid gameplay and a variety of characters.
It's not my favorite 2D Mario game by a long shot, but I say this ranks above the first game for me and is miles better than The Lost Levels. I'm glad I got the chance to fully experience this game.
