When ''Doki Doki Panic'' was released overseas as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Mamu's name was changed to "Wart". When the {{wp|Western world|Western}} ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' was localized as ''Super Mario USA'' in Japan, the original name of "Mamu" was used, but all other plot-related changes remained.

Wart's role is similar as in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic''. Just as before, he used the hijacked Dream Machine and his army (known as the [[8 bits]]) to conquer Subcon. Instead of fighting him, the [[Subcon (species)|natives]] of Subcon make contact with [[Mario]] through one of his dreams, pleading for him to save them and telling him about Wart's weakness: vegetables. The next day he, [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Toad]] discover a door to Subcon and decide to save the dream world from Wart. The battle with Wart is largely the same, except it takes six vegetables to defeat Wart. After his defeat, Wart is seen one last time during the victory celebrations, being crowd-surfed across the screen by the now-freed Subcons. As he disappears off the screen, the Subcons pummel him one last time. During the cast roll, the epilogue explains the events that occured after Wart got banished: He explain to a group of characters why he felt compelled to corrupt Subcon and its various inhabitants, but unfortunately, even [[Donkey Kong]] struggled to make sense of Wart's backstory, possibly implying that Wart's backstory is nonsensical.
Wart's role is similar as in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic''. Just as before, he used the hijacked Dream Machine and corrupted various Subcon inhabitants into becoming his army (known as the [[8 bits]]) to conquer Subcon, though his motives remain unclear. Much like Doki Doki Panic, the [[Subcon (species)|Subcon]]s resisted Wart's corruption, and, frustrated by their défiance, Wart resorts to sealing them in a container, and locate that container in a secluded room, possibly in the Dream Factory. Because of this, the Subcons make contact with [[Mario]] through one of his dreams, pleading for him to save them and telling him about Wart's weakness: vegetables. The next day he, [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Toad]] discover a door to Subcon and decide to save the dream world from Wart.

In the [[Super Mario Advance|Game Boy Advance version]], Wart is given dialogue, and speaks clear sentences such as, ''"I am the great Wart!"'' and ''"Ah, ribbit!"''. The 8 bits is also given another major member, [[Robirdo]]. One minor difference is that after he is defeated, Wart's body becomes intangible to the player, unlike in the original ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' (and its port in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''), where the player can still take damage from contact with his defeat animation. The remake expands on Wart by implying he is capable of casting magic. This is shown in cutscenes prior to fighting [[Fryguy]] and [[Clawgrip]], bosses that are initially seen in a weaker form before bubbles that resemble Wart's arrive to envelop them. The bubbles transform his minions into their massive forms.
