Talk:Super Mario Bros. 2

Is it okay if I add an enemies section to this article just like I did to super mario bros.?I Think it would be helpful.--Fg 16:42, 27 January 2007 (EST)

Okay so no one is responding back so I'll just add an enemies section to this article.--Fg 17:21, 27 January 2007 (EST)

Bonus Roulette
Could anyone make sense out of that roulette? I can't figure out when exactly you get a 1up, it seems rather random. Would be good to have in the article though. - 16:39, 17 May 2008 (EDT)

 * Nice find. I think the stats in the Super Mario Advance version are a little different (or at least the jump stuff is), and I don't know about the original game. But this info should definitely go on either this page or the All Stars article. - 00:19, 29 July 2009 (EDT)

Is there a stat that indicates how much running speed drops when the player is carrying something? I recall Luigi being very fast, but becoming the slowest when holding something.

References in Later Games
Shouldn't be Super Mario 64 in that list as well for having Bob-Ombs and Shy Guys (flying ones)?

Edofenrir 10:02, 18 August 2009 (EDT)
 * But then every game featuring Bob-ombs and Shy Guys had to be listed. I think the list should be cut down in general, since especially Shy Guys and Bob-ombs have become recurring elements in the Mario series. While the Melee one should stay, since this an explicit reference to Super Mario Bros. 2. I don't want to count the articles which would need to be listed as a reference in the Super Mario Bros. article because Goombas and Koopa Troopas appear. That's what the respective articles are for. --Grandy02 10:15, 18 August 2009 (EDT)

I was only curious why all the other games are listed for having them. Then perhaps it would be better to point out that the game introduced Bob-Ombs and Shy Guys to the Marioverse (in case it doesn't do so already) and cut them off the list.

Level Credit Bug
I added a note in the Trivia that lists a known bug in the NES version that causes each character to have the wrong number of levels completed above their heads. LReyomeXX 16:27, 24 September 2009 (EDT)

Just a Dream
This article states that since the game was a dream, that meant it didn't happen. But since Subcon exists in the realm of the subconscious, couldn't it be a real place that is accessed by dreaming?
 * It could be some sort of Dream Kingdom, where dreams go when they, well, aren't dreamed any more. I recall the manual saying something about creatures that are made out of someone's dream as well. Unfortunately, this is all speculation and no matter how fun speculation can be, it isn't official material :/ - 14:16, 26 October 2009 (EDT)

The statement in this article, that it's assumed to "not have happened", is speculation too, and that was my point. The whole premise of subcon was that it was a dream world that existed within the subconscious. Mario waking up from the dream doesn't "unrealify" it any more than the fact that it was a dreamworld in the first place. Buddy Christ
 * Then, uhm, remove the speculation. - 12:49, 27 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Alright, I did. Buddy Christ

Enemies
Under the enemies section, there are bullets next ot some of the names meaning that they reappeared in other Mario games. But, didn't all of these characters reappear, because of Super Mario Advance and Super Mario All Stars?
 * I don't think appearances in remakes count as the enemy "reappearing" since it's basically the same game, only ported to a different system with some changes; articles normally don't even cover remakes under a seperate heading from the original game. Perhaps the note explaining the *s should somehow clarify that, though.--vellidragon 12:21, 20 February 2010 (EST)
 * I added the needed clarification. --Grandy02 13:49, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Ball thingy
In the remake,I saw a ball whith a face that Mario can find in a jar and kick it until it turns small.Anyone knows its name?

I don't know what it's called, but I do know what happens when you manage to get it out of the jar. It turns into a palette swapped Yoshi egg, and acts the same way. And you can re-use it if it falls in quick sand. To get it out, play as Luigi, and have at least 3 hearts. Then, run into a Spark (at the top) and try to get to one side or the other. Then, just carry it out! --Gioku 21:59, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

smb2
Super Mario bros. 2 is one of my favorite games.

Like I never even knew back when I was a kid that it was a rip of doki doki panic but now I see y.

Because Japanese mario 2 is much like the same as mario 1, but more harder than previous.

An I read on some articals that the reason why Japan mario 2 was done half ass is because they were mainly focusing on other games like doki doki panic, etc.

But I like japan mario 2 better than 1st super mario bros game.

Because its more harder, etc. But still not as good as usa Super Mario Bros. 2/Doki Doki Panic

Besides if it wasnt for usa mario 2, the bob-ombs an pokeys would've never existed on future mario games.


 * As this does not seem to be about the actual article, allow me to point you to the forums for stating your opinion on games and similar things; the talk pages on the Wiki are there to discuss issues relating to the respective articles, not to discuss the subject in general.--vellidragon 21:24, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Items Section
I think there should be an Items section. However, I'm not going to make one unless other people agree there should be one. Or, unless someone else wants to make one. Answers appreciated!--Gioku 21:22, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Chronology
It is said that Super Mario Bros. 2 is not the direct sequel after Super Mario Bros., nor Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, despite the game has a "2" after "Super Mario Bros." and considered to be a direct prequel before Super Mario Bros. 3, right? I've been saying, the game is not a sequel, so the Japan consider Lost Levels to be Super Mario Bros. 2 itself, and Super Mario Bros. 3 would still gain the same current title. But Super Mario Bros. 2 is the prequel of Super Mario Bros. 3 in the USA...But later released in Japan as Super Mario USA. So the game is the sequel after Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. That's also a reason why the story of Super Mario Bros. 2 is sightly different than other games since Nes and Snes. And the chronology says...Link's Awakening is its sequel, before BS Super Mario USA, that's my opinion...--Prince Ludwig 06:44, 13 March 2011 (EDT)

Sales Speak
I'm Paper Mario Kart and here I am for another Sales Speak. As of 1/27/12 the original has 7.46 million and Super Mario Advance has 5.49. Check out my other Sales Speaks!

New Super Mario Bros. 2
Should I add a redirect at the top of the page that links to New Super Mario Bros. 2? MimiTheCopycat  18:29, 17 November 2012 (EST)

What's with the crazy asterisks in the characters section? Shouldn't their meaning be written at the bottom of the section?--Kombatgod (talk) 10:16, 14 February 2013 (EST)
