super mario bros 2: how lazy nintendo was

[pieman19]

theres no doubt in my mind that most people know the whole scandle between doki doki panic and super mario bros 2, however most newer gamers dont know about it, or even care about it, but i feel like talking about, lucky you
After the great succes with super mario bros 1 there was no doubt there was going to be a sequle, however most people at nintendo felt that the sequle was much too similar to the 1st one, and that is was much too hard for the amarican people (japan thinks amaricans are dumb, what else is new) so while japan released the real smb2 to japan, nintendo got too work on the amarican version,well they diddent do a whole much work actully
what they did was take a game that was only for the super famcon (japan nes) and add mario charecters, the game they used was doki doki panic
i wasnet lying when i said it diddent take a whole lot of time to do, the levles, backgrounds, forgrounds, boss's, enemys, music everything was the same the only major things changed where
main character sprites
story
1 of the boss's
some additionle sprites
animation
the story of doki doki panic was 2 arabian kids where reading a book when a hand came and grabed them, the other family members, imajin (mario)
lina (princess/toadstool/peach) mama (luigi..lol mama luigi) and papa (toad)
jump in too rescue the children, the story in mario 2 is mario had a dream about a door that led to a world call subcon,the next day mario, peach, luigi and toad went on a picnic, mario found a mysters cave with a door, opened it and found subcon, and for some reson they go on a killing spree, only to find a giant green frog who hates vegtibles and rules subcon with an iron fist
some years later nintendo put the real smb2 on the super mario all-stars collection,execpt it was titled super mario: the lost levles
to be fair though if nintendo diddent make a doki doki panic ripoff, there would be no shyguys, sniffits, pokeys, or even birdo!
well thats it hope you enjoyed it, i might make some other video game related stuff in the future

If you're going to do some kind of review in the future:

1. SPELLING
2. GRAMMAR
3. PLEASE

This was incredibly hard to read.

Also, I already knew about this, and I'm sure plenty of others did too.

The Japanese equivalent to the American NES was Famicom, NOT Super Famicom.

Super Famicom = Super NES

And no, the reason why America got the Doki Doki Panic retread was because the sequel released in Japan was deemed too difficult. It's worth noticing that USA's Super Mario Bros. 2 was eventually translated to Japanese and released back in Japan titled Super Mario USA.

ps they also changed some music, bro

Re: super mario bros 2: how lazy nintendo was

First of all, everything Archelos said. When you're trying to make a statement, you have to use spelling and grammar, even if you're just expressing facts. Failure to do so makes it seem as though you don't really know what you're talking about. It also helps to format the post, especially if it's long. This is accomplished through the use of punctuation and breaks.

Second of all, Super Mario Bros. 2 is not a 'rip off' from Doki Doki Panic--it was a copy of the game. Nintendo made Doki Doki Panic. "Rip off" insinuates that it wasn't theirs to begin with. There is no scandal here.

Third, the sole reason for this game's existence was because the American branch of Nintendo didn't like the original SMB2. They found it way too hard and incredibly frustrating to play (Note, this is the AMERICAN team rejecting the game, not the Japanese team thinking we're all idiots). Rather than create a whole new game when the market was begging for more, they decided to lower production costs and timing concerns by just sprite-swapping from another of their franchises. This is a sound business practice.

Fourth, Doki Doki Panic was not on the Super Famicon. It was on the original Famicon. The "Super" in the console titles are direct corollaries between countries.

Edit: Damn, ninja'd while I was fact-checking my statements before posting. Oh well.

This is what they were talking about. Read your post again after you type it, but before you submit it. At least have proper spelling and punctuation and you'll go far here. Capitalizing isn't an incredibly big deal, as long as it doesn't interfere with the overall quality of the post.

If you don't have anything to contribute, just shut up, seriously. People like you cause others to not post in the forums because they don't want to get chewed out again by some twit who can't control his mouth. Back to the thread, I can honestly say I learned something today so thanks for that Pie, just work on spelling and grammar along with punctuation and you will be good to go.

Being a 'noob' isn't an excuse for having absolutely no spelling and grammar in your posts. Usually I'm not that big a stickler on this sort of thing but the spelling and grammar in your posts are absolutely horrid. I don't know if English isn't your first language but spelling 'didn't' as 'dident'...really? And why do you post a picture in every single one of your posts? Just make a siggy.

Re: super mario bros 2: how lazy nintendo was

The Japan version of SMB2 was extremely difficult. There were some levels that were "unbeatable".

You can play this game on Super Mario All Stars for the SNES it's the SMB Lost Levels.
