What games are you planning on getting?

Lost Levels is the real SMB2.

And 2 really took place here in America. I assume because America is of course filled with turnips, monster frogs, egg shooting pink dragon things, and little birds wearing plague masks.

LOL! It WAS called Super Mario Bros. 2 USA on the Famicom.

SMB2 doesn't really count as a true Mario game IMO. Good memories playing it but I was shocked when I found out later that it was based on a Japanese game Doki Doki Panic and all they did was switch out characters. Haha. SMB3 still my all-time favorite Super Mario game.

But it was originally intended to be a Mario Bros game before it was made into Doki doki.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_Bros._2#Development
Super Mario Bros. 2 initially started out as a demo for a vertically scrolling, two-player, cooperative-action game that was scrapped.[3] The reasons included the technical limitations of the NES hardware making it difficult to produce a polished game featuring a vertical orientation and multiplayer features conceived for the project. It was decided to add more Mario-like elements, such as horizontal levels (though many vertically-oriented levels were retained in the final project). Being that the game had gone through some development, Nintendo created the game Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic for the Family Computer Disk System during its agreement with the Fuji Television company. The game was changed in order to fit with the theme of the mascots of the company and their adventure.

Very interesting read Tighe. I always thought it was doki doki then Mario. I just got a Mario USA famicom game CIB. The cartridge is a bright pink color. I intended on picking up a famicom A/V system to output svideo with but havnt found a good deal yet. I have never checked out doki doki has it been properly emulated? I would love to try it and see what all is different. I have seen screen shots of some sprites in the game code of Mario 2 that weren't used but I don't k ow if they were used in either version.

Originally intended and what actually happened are two different things but I get what you're saying.

Sure it does. Without it, we wouldn't have Shy Guy our Birdo. And can you imagine a world with no Birdo?

Or imagine the other 2D mario games without picking up and running with turtle shells.
