Super Mario Bros. 2 is a 2D platform game originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America in 1988. It is the second game in the Super Mario series outside Japan and the third entry overall. The game later released in Japan under the name Super Mario USA for the Family Computer in 1992 and has since been re-released on many other systems, including a release on the Wii's Virtual Console in 2007, the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console in 2012, the Wii U's Virtual Console in 2013, and the Nintendo Switch's Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Classics application in 2019. As a result of Japan already having a Super Mario Bros. 2 (known in English as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and Super Mario Bros. for Super Players), the game did not make its debut in the country until after the release of Super Mario World, on September 14, 1992, making it Japan's sixth installment of the series. One of the central game mechanics that differentiates Super Mario Bros. 2 from other Super Mario games is that players can select four characters— Mario, Luigi, Toad, or Princess Toadstool—and each of these characters has their unique gameplay mechanics, offering advantages and disadvantages in their stats. Another distinction is that players cannot defeat enemies by stomping on them; players need to either toss items at enemies or pick up and toss enemies at each other to defeat them.
