-One of the central game mechanics that differentiates ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' from other ''Super Mario'' games is that players can select four characters &ndash; Mario, Luigi, Toad, or Princess Toadstool &ndash; and each of these characters have 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.

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 [[Reissue|re-released]] as one of the four games featured in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', and as well as having its own remake in ''Super Mario Advance''. Many enemies first introduced in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' have become common recurring enemies in the ''Mario'' franchise, like [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]]s, [[Pokey]]s, [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]]s, and more, while the gameplay mechanic of picking up various items and tossing them has been reused in several later games.
