| | '''Super Mario Bros. 2''' is a title that [[Nintendo]] used for two different games, one in Japan ([[1986]]), and one in the United States ([[1988]]). They were both considered sequels of the original [[Super Mario Bros.]] game in their respective territories. |

| '''Super Mario Bros. 2''' ('''Super Mario USA''' in Japan, and '''Super Mario Advance''' on the Game Boy Advance) is a [[platform]] game by [[Nintendo]] for the [[NES]]. | |

| The game did not begin life as a Super Mario Bros. title; it is a remake of the Japanese [[Famicom Disk System]] title ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic''. Nintendo's [[Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)|original sequel]] to [[Super Mario Bros.]] was released in Japan in [[1986]]. However, because of that game's extreme difficulty and its close similarity to the original game, Nintendo decided not to release it in the United States, instead releasing ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' with Mario characters. | | The Japanese version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' was released on the Japanese-only [[Famicom Disk System]], and played very much like the original game with added elements and increased difficult. The game was deemed too difficult for the American audience and a non-Mario game, known in Japan as ''Doki Doki Panic'', was altered and released in the States as ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instead. |

| Because it was not originally a [[:Category:Mario|Mario]] title, this game differs greatly from the original Super Mario Bros. However, despite its status as the black sheep of the series, many elements from Super Mario Bros. 2 have become part of the series canon and the repertoire of recurring elements. The game also sold well in its own right and was critically acclaimed at the time.

| The Game Boy Advance version is largely identical to the [[Super Mario All-Stars]] version, with a sprinkling of new features such as hidden coins and a battle mode homage to the original [[Mario Bros.]] game (which was included in every Super Mario Advance title). | | Eventually both versions were released in both territories. The American version was released in Japan as [[Super Mario USA]]. The Japanese version was ultimately released in the U.S. when it was included in the [[Super Nintendo]] release of [[Super Mario All-Stars]], under the title [[The Lost Levels]]. |
