'''''BS Super Mario USA''''' is a direct sequel to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (known as ''Super Mario USA'' in Japan) for the [[Satellaview]], an add-on for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System#Super Famicom|Super Famicom]]. It was the first ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' platformer game to make use of the Satellaview's Soundlink features. The gameplay and levels are essentially the same as the [[Super Mario All-Stars|''All-Stars'']] version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', but with numerous added features and a new plot, presented as a sequel to the original game. | '''''BS Super Mario USA''''' is a direct sequel to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (known as ''Super Mario USA'' in Japan) for the [[Satellaview]], an add-on for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System#Super Famicom|Super Famicom]].

After the events of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Mario and friends believe [[Subcon]] is all a dream and move on. However, [[Wart]] returns and overthrows the [[Ōsama|King of Subcon]] in the heroes' absence. Mario and his friends must once again face the forces of Wart, including the [[Birdo]] trio, [[Mouser]], [[Tryclyde]], [[Fryguy]] and [[Clawgrip]]. Both the protagonists and their foes can use the power of the stars ([[Satellaview|satellites]]) to their advantage. In addition, Mouser has stolen the gold Mario statues, symbols of peace, and hid them throughout Subcon.<ref name=SatellaviewLibrary>[https://ameblo.jp/satebo/entry-12607963518.html Satellaview Library:Super Mario Bros.

As the game played, music from [[Super Mario World (album)|the ''Super Mario World'' soundtrack]] and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, Hop! Step! Jump!]]'' - as well as new, original compositions and jingles - would be used in place of the traditional ''Super Mario USA'' music. Surprisingly, none of the music is actually remixed or arranged from the original ''Super Mario USA''. | As the game played, music from [[Super Mario World (album)|the ''Super Mario World'' soundtrack]] and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, Hop!
