Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)

[MarioMania]

I only went to 8-3 on the Lost Levels on Super Mario All Stars

I've beaten it completely on the Super Mario All-Stars version, world 9 and worlds A-D, but never on the FC pirate/FDS version.

I played the Lost Levels again on Super Mario All Stars on ZSNES a couple weeks ago..It tok me 9 time to beat World 4-4

What Mario pirate is that?  Looks like SMB2j

[PatMan33]

I'd wager you're correct!

Hard to say sometimes, unless you own it. I've seen some labels like that with SMB in it. Remember, there's that stupid SMB hack where the ground is like SMB2j's.

The actual game  is SMB2j  though, right Pat?

[PatMan33]

Yeah it is, though it's hacked. It was also the first Famicom game I ever got.

All Night Nippon?

No access to the extra levels?  Weird title screen?

[PatMan33]

There's just no proper title screen.

I've compared it to my copy of Mario 2 on the FDS and they're identical except for the title screen.

[nintendodork]

What does the title screen look like?

[JC]

All Night Nippon? 

Yeah, there's that, too. I'm actually talking about the lazy hack where only the ground in SMB is changed to look like the ground in SMB2j -- and the piraters sell it as if it's SMB2j.

Looks like this:


Aside from that the game is identical.

Mine looks like that too, except for a few things:

• Luigi's name in the status bar is Mario, and even has the same abilities as him.


• A + Start gives you worlds A-D.
