No. I might someday.

Yes. I was a bit surprised when I did. I had no idea I was at the end. Normally Bowser is the last boss, but not this time.

yes in like 1988
they made kids different back then, we weren't fragile faggots

Yes, with all characters

>>10089561
Yeah, took a little effort but I enjoyed beating Wart for fun.

>>10089561
yes, with and without warps

Yes. Nothing but Luigi, of course.

>>10089609
This.
If you haven't completed the game with all four of them, you didn't beat the game.

And in Doki Doki Panic it's an actual requirement for a good ending

>Ultimate Elerdly God Tier
All levels, no warps, with all 4 characters in Doki Doki Panic to get to the true ending

>God Tier
All levels as Luigi

>Good Tier
All levels as either Mario or Toad

>Practician Tier
5 levels per character each

>Shit Tier
All levels as Peach

>>10090154
>god tier
>beating all levels as the easiest character
You didn't beat it.

>>10089561
Actually, no. The farthest I've gone is maybe world 4. I grew up with 1 and 3 so 2 seems challenging and unfamiliar.

>>10089597
You were just faggots, but never fragile!

mmhmm

>>10089581
When it was released, Wart was 50% of the end bosses in the series.

>>10089561
Nope, but since it's the only mario game I haven't beaten and I know its not too long I will like right now lol

>>10091287
good game

>>10089561
Every boomer has.

>>10091506
I always picked toad when i played this game as a kid, because SMB2 is a game about picking stuff up and toad picks stuff up the fastest therefore is the best character

>>10089561
Yes, although it probably been 30s years and I've drank a lot since. I don't remember a whole lot about the levels past 3 or 4.

>>10091554
He’s a 3 foot tall strongman with super speed, what’s not to love?

>>10089561
The moment I started getting good the Famiclone I was playing conked out on me OP. Maybe I'll try again later

>>10089561
I remember getting to the desert and I had to turn the system off. Furthest I ever got. I'm pretty sure the desert is early in the game but I know I was pretty far into the game, I saw snow and some caves. This was like 25 years ago, never had a real interest to try to get through it when I got older.

Yeah it was my first mario game

>>10091834
it was the second one for me after SMB and after playing the Lost Levels on SNES I'm glad we got the SMB2 that we did

>>10089561
yeah
friend lent it to me when i got a fever and couldn't go to school

Yes, long time ago

>>10091506
Impressive. I'd pick toad for sand levels and only sand levels. Luigi and Princess were EZ mode so I picked them.

>>10090873

Luigi is the hardest character to use by far, if you're a good player who expects your character to do what you tell him to do without a lot of pointless, annoying hesitation. He's the ONLY hard character to use.

>>10091554

Princess is easy mode, Toad is the default for the reason you describe, Mario is Toad but not quite as good, and Luigi is for when you want to punish yourself by dealing with his awful-feeling momentum.

>>10091743

There are two sand-and-pyramids worlds: the second world from the beginning, and the second world from the end. So yeah you must have reached the latter. Maybe try it again now, it's fun! Especially if you're Toad most of the time.

>>10089561
Not only do I regularly beat it
I often use each character exactly 5 times so they all end up being the MVP at the end

>>10089561

Mastered it

>>10092149
Princess on the last level, yeah?
Wart is much easier with the Princess. And he was already easy to begin with.

>>10089581
It's one of the many side effects of this was made a mario game at the last second.

>>10092112
>for when you want to punish yourself by dealing with his awful-feeling momentum.
I found Luigi easy to play. His floaty jump is really good.

>>10091156
For less than a year before Mario 3, yeah.

>>10092432
Yes
I'm still working out which character is optimal for each level while using them evenly but I always end up with princess on 7-2

>>10089561
>Mario Madness
What did they mean by that? Why was this on the cover?

>>10092502
I forget which levels are best with each, too, but I think 7-1 is also Princess territory. 1-2, too, iinm.

>>10092507
It's the game's name.

>>10092787
>that image

>>10089561
Little known fact: this game was originally called doki panic but Nintendo rebranded it as Mario Madness because Americans are dumb enough to buy it just because it’s Mario. We have been played as absolute fools.

>>10092507
Foreshadowing the ending: Mario is terminally insane and this is his last dream before passing away in his sleep

>>10091156
*33%

Yeah I beat it. It's just not my thing.

>>10093237
It was designed as a Mario game to be rebranded in the first place
At heart it was always Mario

>>10089561
The game is slow and boring as hell.

Yes, I use Toad the whole way (warping) except Princess in the ice levels

what’s the most kino version to play? I remember liking the all stars version

>>10089561
>penisleg.jpg

>>10095124

original NES

>>10095140
what are the differences?

>>10095228

the "physics" are fucked up in the all-stars version, and the graphics are actually better on NES imo

I did the Advance version.

>>10089561
U're did. I till remember the music

>>10096808
I had that too at launct but I don’t remember it, haven’t played it since. How was it compared to All Stars and the original ?

Yeah, in 1994. I enjoyed it a lot. 10/10

>>10097171
how were they able to fit world and all these games on one cart?

>>10097185

Exactly. I've been thinking about this for 30 years. World is only 4 megabits from what I can remember. Anyway, i was blown away when I got the first all stars release for Xmas in 93. I'm still blown away by the fact that I got that much Mario for a relatively cheap price

Here is a documentary about Mario 2. Very interesting history

>>10093292
He doesn't know about SMB2JP, and that's probably for the best.

>>10089561
Yes, I absolutely hated it. One of the most shitty and annoying games I've ever played.

>>10089561
Many time. Long way, and short way. It's probably been 30 years since I touched it.

>>10091156
Yeah, when I first played it this was the case. But I was a stupid kid with no attention span back then and didn't get very far. By the time I actually beat 2, I think Sunshine was already out.

>>10089561
Is this considered hard nowadays or something?

Yes, it's not that hard. I did it as a kid. US Super Mario 2 was made to be at a little kid's difficulty level. Still a great fucking game and an absolute classic, but very easy. If you can't beat it, it's a skill issue

>>10089825
Based Cornshaq.

>>10090154
I always loved playing as Toadstool as a kid. Her float is super satisfying and makes navigating areas easy. Plus she's a girl, so she could take my little prepubescent weewee.
I do agree that doing it DDP style is the true way to do it, and was what the developers developers developers developers intended.

>>10096985
Haven't played it in years myself, but it's quite similar to All Stars, with some weird additions like voice acting, extra large enemies, and RoboBirdo.

I didn't beat the NES version until a couple years ago on Switch, but I beat it as a kid on the All Stars version. I honestly loved it a lot, definitely played it way more than 1 or 3. Lobbing enemies at one another is so satisfying

I used to do it with warps. Game was too long when playing it as a child.

>>10089561
I gonna beat it as fast as my miyoo mini come from china.

what arę you actually supposed to use the koopa shell for?

>>10092103
>Luigi is the hardest character to use by far

>>10089561
Yes, I have, great game.

>>10099624
who do you think is the hardest character?

>>10091554
Toad gets all the bitches

>>10093292
The last boss of SMB2 is also Kuppa-ou so Wart is still 50% unless you count Donkey Kong.

>>10089561
yes. many times. with all characters.

>>10089561
Twice.

>>10096808
Me too. Been meaning to pick up an NES copy just to finish my collection, but Advance was always fun on long car rides.

>>10089561
Yes. Best Mario game
