Unlike the majority of other ''Mario'' titles, ''SMB2'' was not developed from an independent point, but rather it is a redesign of the Japanese [[Famicom Disk System]] game [[Doki Doki Panic|Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]. Nintendo's original sequel to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' was released in Japan as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)|Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' in 1986, however because of that game's perceived difficulty and its close similarities to the original game, Nintendo decided not to release it in the West at that time. | Unlike the majority of other ''Mario'' titles, ''SMB2'' was not developed from an independent point, but rather it is a redesign of the Japanese [[Famicom Disk System]] game [[Doki Doki Panic|Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]].

The redesigned Western version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' was released in Japan in 1992 under the title {{Nihongo|'''Super Mario USA'''|スーパーマリオUSA}}, and in 1993 the original Japanese version was released to the rest of the world as "Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels" (part of the [[Super Mario All-Stars]] collection for the [[SNES]]). | ||

Because ''SMB2'' is a redesign of a non-''Mario'' game, the game differs greatly from the original ''Super Mario Bros.'' The game has sold over ten million copies, was the 3rd most sold title on the Nintendo Entertainment System and was critically acclaimed at the time. Many elements from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' have since become part of the ''Mario'' series canon and the repertoire of recurring elements. | Because ''SMB2'' is a redesign of a non-''Mario'' game, the game differs greatly from the original ''Super Mario Bros.''

In addition to being remade with upgraded graphics in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' collection, that remake became the basis for the '''[[Super Mario Advance]]''' game, which was a launch title for the [[Game Boy Advance]]. The GBA edition contains additional enhancements such as digitized voice, new enemies composed of very large sprites, and the Yoshi challenge. | ||
