The game is set up as thirteen worlds divided into four levels each. One world, *[[Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)/World 9|World 9]], is a secret world that you can only get to if you complete all eight previous worlds without warping. This game can only be played by one player. You must choose between playing the game as Mario, or playing as Luigi. The brothers play slightly differently from one another. Read below for more information.

== What's new in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''? ==
Note: On the Gameboy Color game ''Super Mario Bros Deluxe'' these levels are shown as "Super Mario Bros for Super Players". You can only access them by beating Luigi in the top score table. When you do this, a picture of Luigi's head will appear on the main menu. You can save your progress in only one file, aside from the main screen. Your top scores will be recorded, but not on a table. You can only play as Mario in this version.
=== Plumber Performance ===
As is the case in the American version of [[Super Mario Bros. 2]], the Mario Bros. have slightly different abilities in the area of jumping. Luigi is the high jumper of the two while Mario can stop more accurately.

| 5.5 Blocks || 6 Blocks || 4 Blocks || Luigi clears the height of 5.5 blocks on a normal run and six while dashing.<br />This gives him a 9% dash boost. His four block slide makes stopping him a chore.
|}
 
=== Lost Level Surprises ===
The Lost Levels are logical extensions of the first [[Super Mario Bros.]] game. The objects and enemies are very similar with the exception of six interesting items; Poisonous Mushrooms, Red Piranha Plants, Super Springs, Fake Bowser, Flying Bloopers and Wind.
{| {{prettytable}}
! Poisonous Mushrooms || Red Piranha Plants
|-
| [[Image:SMB2j Poison Mushroom.png|left]]
Red Mushrooms make little Mario or Luigi super-sized. Green Mushrooms serve as a 1-Up. But, Brown Mushrooms (Purple in [[Super Mario All-Stars]]) should be avoided. They move like regular and 1-Up mushrooms too, so beware! A plumber collecting them will take damage just like touching an enemy (unless he has a Starman). Depending on the terrain, Poisonous mushrooms are brown, cyan, or white, matching the color of certain enemies such as Goombas and Buzzy Beetles.
| [[Image:SMB2j Red Piranha.png|left]]
These menaces pop out and sink in faster than green ones. You can only stand on top of the pipe to make them temporarily disappear. These debut in [[Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)/World 4#World 4-1|World 4-1]], and green ones are gone for good. Upside-down Piranha Plants are just like red ones, but they don't get scared off at all! They debut in [[Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)/World 5#World 5-1|World 5-1]] along with the right-side up.
|}
'''Super Springs''': Other than being colored green instead of red, these jump-aids look identical to the regular Springs. But when your hero hits a Super Spring and jumps at the same time, he'll blast off into the stratosphere. Your plumber will return near the coin indicator.
 
'''Fake Bowser''': Appears in the middle of Worlds 8-4, 9-3, and D-4. He is very similar to Bowser, but he is aqua colored.
 
'''Flying Bloopers''': In a few levels Bloopers can be found in the air. They do not act any differently than they do underwater, but now they can be stomped.


'''Wind''': In some levels, your hero will be pushed by a powerful wind. Note that this does not affect enemies.

=== Fireworks ===
== What's new in Super Mario Bros 2? ==
Just as its [[Super Mario Bros.|prequel]], when you have reached the Flagpole at the end of the level, you can net yourself some extra points with some Fireworks depending on your timer and (this time around) your total coins as well. It works a little different than its predecessor, but to make them appear, you have to match your timer's last digit with the last digit of your coin count. If the digit is an '''odd''' number, you will receive three Fireworks; and if it is '''even''' or ends with '''zero''', you will receive six.
=== Plumber Performance ===
 
As is the case in the American version of [[Super Mario Bros. 2]], the Mario Bros. have slightly different abilities in the area of jumping. Luigi is the high jumper of the two while Mario can stop more accurately.
Also, in addition to the Fireworks, you can make lives using the same trick, as long as your coin total is a multiple of '''eleven''' or your coin total is zero (i.e., 00, 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99) and you match it with the timer's last digit. You will receive a 1-Up instead of points, so it won't matter from how high it's reached, but the Fireworks will appear nevertheless. Here are some examples:

=== Scoring ===
=== Lost Level Surprises ===
While points are not so important, a few changes have been applied:
The Lost Levels are logical extensions of the first [[Super Mario Bros.]] game.  The objects and enemies are very similar with the exception of three interesting items; Poisonous Mushrooms, Red Piranha Plants, and Super Springs.
* It is impossible to bypass the flagpole animation with the glitches in the prequel.
{| border="0"
* Clearing a castle level will still convert remaining time into score.
| width="50%" | [[Image:SMB2j Poison Mushroom.png|left]] '''Poisonous Mushroom''': Red Mushrooms make little Mario or Luigi super-sized.  Green Mushrooms serve as a 1-Up.  But, Brown Mushrooms (Purple in [[Super Mario All-Stars]]) should be avoided. They move like regular and 1-Up mushrooms too, so beware!  These nasty objects power-down a big plumber and knock out a small plumber. Depending on the terrain, Poisonous mushrooms are brown, cyan, or white.
* Upon saving the princess, every remaining extra live is converted to 100,000 points.
| width="50%" | [[Image:SMB2j Red Piranha.png|right]] '''Red Piranha Plants''': These menaces pop out and sink in faster than green ones. You can only stand on top of the pipe to make them temporarily disappear. These debut in [[Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)/World 4#World 4-1|World 4-1]], and green ones are gone for good. Upside-down Piranha Plants are just like red ones, but they don't get scared off at all! They debut in [[Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)/World 5#World 5-1|World 5-1]] along with the right-side up.

* Finish your level with coins totalling a multiple of 11 or 0 total coins. (0,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99)
* Then time your flagpole-grab to end on the same number. For example: finish the level with 22 coins and grab the flagpole with 142 left on the timer, or any other time that ends in a 2. If you have 77 coins grab the pole on a time ending in 7 and so on.
* You get a 1up! This can be done in any level in the game — except the castles of course.
