The English version of one of these games is actually a modified version of a completely different, non Mario Japanese platform game, is it?
A - Mario Bros
B - Super Mario Bros 2
C - Super Mario Bros 3
D - Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels
It may or may not be the picture to the left, but the answer shouldn't surprise you when you think about it. Click comments for the answer.

B: Super Mario Bros 2
This has always been regarded as the black sheep of the NES games. It really is a fantastic game, but it’s quite different than any of the other Mario games and features many enemies that are also unique to this game. There’s a good reason for this though, the game was actually originally released in Japan in 1987 as Doki Doki Panic by Fugi. Nintendo actually did develop their own Super Mario Bros 2 game but it was only released in Japan whilst the US and PAL versions of the game were actually Doki Doki but with a few tweaks and edited art. The main theories on why the game wasn’t released outside of Japan are that a- The game is too simular to the first game and b- the game is too hard for American gamers.
This is a good thing in a way though as we eventually got the original Super Mario Bros 2 on the Super Mario All Stars game for the Super Nintendo (Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels) and we also got a much improved version of Doki Doki which is a very good platformer. Some of the art and especially animation in the Japanese version of this game is extremely rough compared to the Nintendo version.
Yeah, I beat this game in about a day and a half, which was one of my fastest ones. But then good ole Chad O'Hara beat it faster and made me feel bad. I really liked it. The princess can float around, which is not to be underestimated.
"dokidoki" is onomatopoeia for an increased heart rate
funny eh?
Travis once had a pet chincilla he named toadstool. It died after chewing on the charger to his hand blender.
