''Super Mario Bros. 2'' came about after [[Nintendo]] of America deemed ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' too difficult for Western audiences,<ref>McLaughlin, Rus.

Retrieved August 2, 2017.</ref> which led Nintendo to redevelop the [[Family Computer Disk System]] game ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' into a ''Super Mario Bros.'' game for the international release. After its release, the game became a commercial success, and eventually the game became well received enough that it was also released in Japan. After performing well both critically and commercially, ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' has been rereleased as one of the four games featured in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', as well as having its own [[reissue|remake]] in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''. Many enemies introduced in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' have become common recurring enemies in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, such as [[Bob-omb]]s, [[Pokey]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s, and more, while the gameplay mechanic of picking up various items and tossing them has been reused in several later games.

|Hoopsters crawl slowly on vines or trees aimlessly, speeding up whenever descending. They harm players if they make contact with them from above or the side. Players can jump on and ride them like an elevator, and even pick them up and throw them.

===Jar-entering glitch===
This glitch requires precise timing; the character must be small and must enter a jar at the same time they are hit by a [[Phanto]]. If this is done correctly, the defeat fanfare plays as usual. However, the character still goes through the jar. When they exit, the character has no health sections left, yet is still alive. This glitch remains in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' enhanced port.
===Disappearing Mushroom Blocks===
===Disappearing Mushroom Blocks===
If the player throws a [[Mushroom Block]] offscreen and does not see it land, even to a place where it should safely land, it disappears until the player leaves through a door and comes back.
