Did you know that this was originally released as Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in Taiwan? srsly stop telling people the history of Mario 2 every time it's brought up. This is a fine game. A beautiful, easy to understand but difficult platformer.

A weird and unique platformer, where jumping onto things, holding them over your head, and tossing them around is the central mechanic. It's a super fun mechanic, ringed with other fun mechanics, like potions, quicksand, and the infamous Phanto. Sadly, the controls aren't quite as precise as the game wants them to be - Peach is the best character for almost every level, simply because she lets you fudge or avoid the trickiest parts. But it's still a wonderful and unique part of the Mario mythos.

Yeah, it's a reskinned Doki Doki Panic, but there are a number of unique and interesting mechanics that would come back for future Mario games, and it's hard not to enjoy the colorful, mysterious Arabian-themed levels. Facing a boss on every stage, the keys, Pow blocks, slot machine, and 4 different characters with wildly different abilities are all fond memories and highlights. Even digging in the sand and escaping Phanto had its charm.

Super Mario Bros. 2 loses the fast pace of the original and is very clearly a different game entirely. That being said, it's still an enjoyable platformer and the ability to play as characters other than Mario is a strong plus.

Great game. This one again is unique to many Mario games I have played. You control any 4 characters in this game from Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess. Best Character in my opinion would be the Princess as she has the power to glide for a few sec in the air. Worst maybe Luigi because his controls are awkward. Mario is in a dream state in this game. Only negative and this is with all retro gaming the limited lives and Continues. Other than that awesome game.

It's amazing how much Mario iconography comes from a reskined Doki Doki Panic. This isn't as good as the main Mario games but offers a different and solid experience either way.

I'll always have a soft spot for this one because Mario 2 felt like more of an adventure than just a run to save a princess over and over. Neat enemies and it was fun to discover trips of the map, like where to use the potion door.

Why the games where Mario transforms into a flying raccoon or Superman fit within the tight continuity of Mario's carefully constructed rational world whereas this one does not is a question beyond my abilities to answer. All I can say for certain is that Princess Peach's levitation ability is nifty.

I admit I was one of those punk kids that compared this to Mario 1 and 3 and was like "wtf this is too different." I actually never even beat it until, shit, I dunno, probably 2003 or something? But it's certainly not bad, still has that Nintendo polish compared to most other NES fare.

In the Mario franchise, this one made very little sense. But I really enjoyed this game, the different variety of levels, and how the choice of character changed the way you played a level (based on their strengths in jumping). It was a challenging side-scroller, and a step up from the first game in the series.
