Not even trying

I was legitimately annoyed again, then I read this:

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2011/04/the-secret-history-of-super-mario-bros-2/

Quality thread, /v/ro!

It was initially planned as a Mario game, then got turned into Doki Doki Panic, which was then turned into what it was supposed to be the whole time: a Mario game.

>>2282546
This. It was originally intended to be a Mario game. That's why the physics felt vaguely Mario-esque, because the engine was built to be used for a Mario game.

it is though.

It's Miyamoto's favorite mario game, in fact.
And it's the game where many recurring enemies originated from. Like Birdo, Bob-ombs, Shy Guys, Snifits, ninjis.

3D world was essentially a sequel to it, the sprixies resemble the subcon fairies.

everyone who says it's not a real mario game is retarded and should promptly kill themselves. I am 100% serious.

>>2282572

I believe Shiggy said his favorite was SMW.

>>2282504
Correct. It was originally called Donkey Kong Picnic or some shit.

>>2282517
thanks

>>2282592
I thought it was Hokie Pokie Party

>>2282504
Regardless of whether it was meant to be mario or not. I still think its a bit weak.

>>2282792
lmao its obviously Ducky Dick Palace dumbasses

>>2282504
even if it wasn't (it is) it's still a great game

So apparently this was actually a game about a muslim family called Diggidly Diggidly Peenus in Japan
Holy shit mind = blown.

Yearly reminder that SMB2 is infinitely better than that literal hackjob we call Lost Levels

>>2282504
Penis leg.

ITT: Old, tired jokes beaten further into the ground.

Even if you ignore its development history, so many enemies have integrated with the series that it's undeniably a Mario game.

>>2283017
ITT: no one asked for you're opinion, nerd.

>>2283035
Similarly, no one asked you to regurgitate old jokes. We don't need anyone's permission to say what we say. What's your point?

>>2283039
Cry some more, turbo nerd. You could either hide the thread or turn this into some useless metatopic.

can we put this to rest lol
doki doki panic was largely in part designed by miyamoto, and he incorporated a lot of the design elements that he intended originally to include in a super mario bros followup game, the main one being vertical based platforming.

>>2283065
>can we put this to rest lol
Of course not. This is 4chan, the lifeblood of which is pretending to be stupid and arguing with others also pretending to be stupid. OP knew everything you just said, as did most of the anons replying. Some people think it's funny both to pretend to be a moron and also watch people who think they possess arcane knowledge step up to correct them.

>>2283064
It's been a useless metatopic since the OP.

>>2283073
well, you are definitely correct
in my experience /vr/ is usually a nicer more comfy place where people are on the same page about stuff or at least enjoy debating it, but i guess i can't expect any corner of 4chan to not be 4chan :(

>>2282504
I don't know...it says "Super Mario Bros" on the cover. And I've played it, that was mario right there all the way to the left.

AFTUR DOING SUM RESEARCH...

>>2282504
Eh, I don't give a fucking shit.

Then why have Shyguys and Sniffits and Bob-Ombs been accepted as canon?

>>2284881
>Mario
>canon

You're all tuckered out, fella. C'mon. It's past your bedtime.

>>2282504
you must be 12 right?

NO.

>still clinging to the gg boycott movement
almost adorable, in a way.

>>2284903

>You have to be gg to despise Ars!

>>2284907
You do have to be a spazz to throw a hissy fit over linking to a website you hate, to the point of "correcting" someone who does it.

>>2284910

>hissy fit
>spazz out

Wellwellwell, look who loves foisting his own interpretations off on people.

>oh no, he corrected me!
>h-h-help!
>rape! RAPE, I say!!!
>POLICE! heeeeeelp!

>Wellwellwell, look who loves foisting his own interpretations off on people.

Says the guy who thinks his personal taste in websites is a code of conduct all others must adhere to.

>>2284918

dont post anymore. thank you in advance,

>>2284921

>code of conduct

Implying implications. If I'd regarded it as a Code of Conduct I'd have posted a whole hell of a lot more than "NO.".

Look at this samefaggotry

I love how people constantly being up the fact that it's doki doki panic like its some obscure gaming fact that nobody knows about

>>2283013
hah

Yearly reminder that this is not actually a Kidd game

>>2283034
You can even argue it added one fundamental mechanic, namely picking up your enemies. In SMB1 you could only stomp koopas and then kick them, in SMB3 and onwards you could also pick them up and throw them. This was used even more in Super Mario World where you could pick up and throw keys and whatnot.

>>2283013
Holy shit

Peach needs to get her dope ass necklace back.

>>2284891
Talking about canon in Mario games is indeed silly, but lots of SMB2 enemies made reappearances in other, later Mario games, many of them in the Koopa Army.

>>2282572
It's a rom hack of doki doki panic, so kill yourself!

>>2282572
>And it's the game where many recurring enemies originated from.
As opposed to the first Super Mario Bros., which only had non-iconic shit like Goombas, Koopas, Piranha Plants, Bullet Bills, Hammer Bros, Lakitus, Bloopers, Cheep-Cheeps and Buzzy Beetles.

>>2285680
Your point in no way negates his.

>>2285260
>milogoestocosmetologyschool.jpg

>>2282504
What kind of freaky ass method was this game coded with? I remember plugging this in with a Game Genie, entering random ass letters, and you'd almost always get something interesting like the music being played entirely with sound effects.

>>2285809
>I entered random codes and got random results, clearly this indicates that the game's programming is some strange sorcery.

I'd say "nice troll post" but we're already in a troll thread, so...

>>2285816
Doing that with other games would either freeze the game or do little to nothing. SMB2 would be at least immediately playable and did cool shit.

>>2285836
anecdotal evidence based on lucky shots on a game genie doesn't conclusively prove that the game's programming was unique.

>>2285839
Guess memory is playing tricks on me. I felt SMB2 was especially malleable when inventing codes for it.

>>2282504
not completely true. there is a possibility it was going to be a mario game but then it wasn't but it ended up being one anyways.

regardless, nintendo treats it as canon and uses a lot of elements/songs/characters from SMB2 in current mario games.

>tfw no references to Wart or Subcon in Dream Team

>>2285789
My niggest nig!

>>2285842
I remember Super Mario Kart and World being like that as well, I dunno lol

>>2284903
>siding with the media Jews
Then again, we're on 4chan, which is no better than Reddit/Ars now.

Let's get off our high-horse already.

>>2282580
Shiggy has a lot of things you wouldn't expect
His favorite game was Super Mario World
His favorite video game character is Pac-Man and is the reason Pac is in smash
He plays banjo instead playing games.

>>2287663

SMW is also my favorite Mario game (and I played SMB3 first, and loved it, but I like SMW even more), so it doesn't really surprise me. SMW feels like the magnum opus of the Mario series.
