Hello and thanks for taking the time to answer my poll last week, after collecting the feedback I have an idea of how I want to move forward with this blog. Now for this week\u2019s round of suffering, Super Mario Brothers 2. Now at first glance you might be thinking, \u201cOh the game where you can play as Toad and Princess Peach while throwing turnips? That\u2019s not a challenge at all, what are you trying to pull here?\u201d. Well stop those thoughts right now because it\u2019s time for a Nintendo history lesson. You see, there are actually two versions of Super Mario Brothers 2. One is the turnip throwing version which is globally known as \u2018Super Mario Bros 2 USA\u2019. The version that I\u2019ll be playing today is now referred to as \u2018Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels\u2019. Originally, the Lost Levels was supposed to be the true sequel to the original Super Mario Bros, designed for players who had mastered the mechanics of the original game. However, Nintendo of America deemed it too hard for American players, so we got the version of Super Mario Bros 2 that most are familiar with today. If you want to play the Lost Levels today, it is available on the 3DS and Wii U Virtual Consoles, along with Nintendo Switch Online\u2019s NES game library. While I do consider myself at least decent at 2D Mario games, I will admit this one intimidates me a bit because of its legacy. I personally stopped somewhere in world two out of the game\u2019s eight worlds. If you really want to try it out I would highly recommend using the Nintendo Switch version so you have access to the rewind feature. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
