Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (called Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan) is one of the most underwhelming sequels of all time.
I could give Nintendo a bit of slack here, considering that I think they probably didn't know exactly how to follow up one of the most iconic games of all time, but just giving us a harder version of the 1st game is disappointing.
Unlike the original game, which had a pretty good difficulty curve (until the last world), this one just decides to constantly play with you, giving you traps and gotcha moments, and making invisible blocks mandatory for progression.
The only reason why I'm giving the game the score that I'm giving is because it plays like the 1st game, and looks like it (with some minor extra graphical details).
But its level design is so bleh that it barely gives me any fun at the beginning, and gives me no fun by the end.
