Mario Bros 2 thread

[OP No.10564767]

This game sucks and I am tired of pretending that it does not just because it is Mario
>hurr durr you got filtered
>DUDE IT IS ACTUALLY A ROM HACK

I want to actually talk about this game in depth. It is one of those super weird NES games that existed for a very short amount of time with weird NES logic. Most platformers are simply: Go from left to right but this game tries to be different and I admire that and it fascinates me. That is why I am trying this game for years now but yes it does filter me. Climbing up shit is just shit. Instead of locking onto vines you can still move left and right (for whatever weird reason) and I will jump onto a vine and instantly move off of it thus falling down, it is so annoying and I wish there was a rom hack for it.
Also I assumed Princess Peach would be the best character because she can float but then there are passages she can not reach because she can not jump so high. What's it with all the hidden stuff in this game?
Really this game is a mystery to me and that is why I always come back but can you give me some advice or anything instead of
>get gud
because I am trying for 30 years now or something and I never know what the fuck I am even supposed to do.

[Anonymous No.10564772]

How are you getting filtered by this game? Literally go right or up, it’s not hard. If you cant go right any farther, try going left
>waaaaah peach can’t jump high enough
Every level can be beaten by every character, he’ll it’s a requirement for the best ending in doki doki panic. If you want a better jump use mario or Luigi

God help you when you get to the desert if you’re having this much trouble

I decided to revisit this game like half a year ago and played it for some friends on stream. My autistic rule was to not use any warps, no guides (looking up where bonuses are), and obviously no save states. Spent some nights grinding it out over the course of a couple of weeks starting from 1-1 each time before I finally beat it. As a kid I got filtered at 3-3 and rightfully so. Took me a while to figure out even as an adult. I used Toad not for any advantage but because he looked dumb. The thing that made this game way easier was reloading rooms to kill enemies and force a heart to spawn. The stars were also nice if you want to rush through some of the more tedious sections. Used that a lot during the digging sections because after starting over for the 15th time you get really impatient. The later bosses are easy which is nice. Throwing away the key whenever the room becomes too much while a phanto is chasing you is helpful.

Among old Mario games, this is one of the shorter, easier ones. If you can't finish it for 30 years then... give up.

I've finished it many times and it never even occurred to me that there might be the slightest danger of jumping onto a vine and then instantly climbing sideways off it by accident. You're in some kind of basement level on the gaming talent scale. Maybe just seek fulfillment in other venues until you die (ideally happily and of old age), and then, with luck, become reincarnated as someone who possesses a normal level of inborn talent for playing video games.

I honestly don't know what you're finding difficult in it. I was never a big Mario fan. We had the games, but to this day I have never beat Mario 1 or 3. Not because they filter me per se, more that they never interested me enough to devote the time to learning the later levels.
Mario 2 is the only game in the franchise I've finished not one, but countless times. To me it feels so much more like Kirby than Mario, nothing is really that hard it's just sort of a fun 2D romp.

Just don't hold left or right when you climb. Grabbing a vine cancels your sideways momentum.

Peach can beat every level (as can Toad), and characters can do a high jump if you crouch for a bit and wait for them to start flashing.

You just keep playing it until you learn.

There's no problem. Believe me.

There's no reason to go from left to right on a vine.

[Anonymous No.10567168]

Everyone will fall of a vine easily...IF YOU SUCK.

If you want to be balanced, be Mario.

If you want to be able to jump the highest, be Luigi.

If you want to be able to pick up things really fast and dig really fast be toad

If you want to float, because you suck, be princess.. the girl. isn't she pretty? What a disgrace.

The more you play the game the more you will fafo that it's almost absolutely true that there is not one place one character can reach that the other one can't.

But you're probably worried about getting a game over.

Keep picking up every plant till you find that potion. And for the bonus you just tap as fast as you can and before you know it you'll have so many extra lives you won't even count them anymore!!

Level 2: you have to jump on the magic carpet. If you don't move fast enough with it it will disappear in thin air and you die. Asshole design.

Then you progress and there is a LOCKED door. You can't progress any further and you can't go back and that's where I'm stuck in fucking level 2.

Can’t offer much more advice apart from practice. I got good at farming lives. Get as many diamonds and coins as possible in the early game, play slots and enter the end game with a good amount of lives.

I've tried to throw stuff on them. So I'm supposed to stand on them and press down??? Seriously how should one have figured out that they are like pipes and you can just go down? The shape doesn't indicate it. It's a vase that normally has a bottom so you would only trap yourself in it.
Nothing gives it away so this is some kind of weird Nintendo kneel there and wait logic. It's terrible game design and you defend it especially since the door seems to be a trap or what????
I mean super Metroid traps you at first and the only way to get out is the wall jump but you even see some creature doing it and then you just copy it. This is good game design. Mario 2 is just awful and you assholes don't even tell me what to do because it's way easier to shout

There is s fucking door, it's locked
And the solution is to press down while standing on a vase?????
How should anyone figure that out.

Also another point: the first time you fly with the magic carpet you don't know that it will just vanish in thin air and that you have to hurry up so you will die. That is bad game design.

But as usual you guys completely ignore what is being said and can't even comment on those two simple things because it would mean that you have to admit that this game is shit so you don't respond and just say some copy paste bullshit you can literally reply with with ANY topic.

No. 1 and 2 is straight forward. Go from the left to the right. That is fucking all there is to do like millions of other games that exist while Mario 2 is a weird one in a million game.

Serious question: name other games LIKE MARIO 2.

Like I've said before that weirdness is what always makes me come back but the weirdness is also why I struggle so much.
I mean plucking turnips and throwing them at enemies? Fucking creative and unique. What other game does that? But like I've said it has a lot of weird early NES game logic, you know AVGN complained about this years ago and kneeling down in Castlevania and waiting for a wind to take you away is the most famous example. Mario 2 feels exactly like this mixed with a platformer. It's weird and I have no fucking clue what I'm supposed to do. I'm actually good at games when I know what they want from me and I tend to give up when I get stuck because they change the formula. You might not believe this but when I grew up point and click adventures were my favourite genre. I still love the shit that Lucas did. It was solving puzzles BUT I was given a very clear task so I knew what I had to do.

I don't know how old people are here. Sadly many zoomers who accuse others of being zoomers but have you ever (probably not because you are too young) player Atari 2600 games? It's some weird shit where most of the games are you trying to figure out what the game is and what you are even supposed to do. That stuff is shit and Mario 2 feels like that. There is a reason why more straight forward games like frogger and pac man were more popular and why Mario 2 doki doki Rom hack is the only game of its kind and they didn't repeat the formula in future Mario games and instead 3 is like 1 and all future games act as if 2 was a fever dream - which it ironically is and that's why Nintendo treat it like that.

If your brain doesn't understand something it MUST be bait for some reason.
Here is something funny. When children grow up they can't fathom that other people have other thoughts in their brain and don't have the exact same thoughts THEY HAVE IN THEIR BRAIN.
I feel like you never developed any further. Just because YOU PERSONALLY THINK LIKE THAT every other human has to think like you and if they don't, they are trolling.

At least admit :

>oh this is one of the games where you need a manual
Or
>it's designed to talk about at the school yard
Or
>perfect for Nintendo power
But no it must all be trolling for whatever reason. Like I don't even get what trolls would gain from this.

As you probably can't tell I'm fascinated by this game since it released but it's a love hate relationship. Heck I even got a promo sticker when this released with Mario and Ward on it now that I think about it.
Now how much of this game made it into other Mario games?
Also I have a love hate relationship with this game and I should probably just look at Nintendo power (I have the issue with this game, I have all the early issues) which could help me a lot.

But let's be serious: dude comes along (me) and asks for help. What happens? People shit on me and tell me to get good. Like clockwork. Thanks for nothing.

No I mean obscure puzzle platformer shit. I don't even know if I would call it a puzzle platformer. But it's weird. Only other weird game I can think of is A Boy and his Blob. Also pretty unique.

So Mario 2 is a game where you need to figure odd stuff out. This is what I mean. I mean in a point and click adventure the entire genre is to solve puzzles so the goal is straight forward. Do you get what I mean? Like I said look at Mario 2 and every other platformer.

Another question: in the very first level there is a ladder and a wall. You can climb down , grab bombs, blow up the wall and reach the boss that way (it's Birdo). How do I blow up the wall without hitting myself??? I always hurt myself with those bombs.

And try again in a few years with the same results.
Do you remember some class in school you were just not good at and even though you tried it just wasn't your thing? There are some things you are just not good at. Do you want me to start recording how bad I am at this game so you can ridicule me on YouTube? There is a reason why this is an anonymous message board. The difference is just that the average person will be like

And he'll never touch the game again but I'm too stubborn plus I really want to master it at some point plus I like the music but one fine day I'll die and I'll never have learned Japanese and I'll never have beaten this game while I've to admit that I actually know some Japanese and remembering words has never been a problem for me but there is more to a language then just knowing words while what can you do if you suck at Mario 2??? If it's mussel memory you have to train each level over and over again because the game always throws you in new scenarios. I don't know what's so hard to understand this.

Battle toads I mostly get filtered by that speeder part, that's some annoying shit and when I give up but it's a brain dead beat em up. Go left to right and punch enemies.

Ghost and Goblins is hard yes and I admit I've never beaten it but that's because you have to beat the game twice and I can't be arsed to do that. For some reason I don't find the game to be unfair though. You know what happens when and react accordingly BUT while I'm okay at ghosh and goblins I suck at every single mega man game. The enemies respawning if you leave the screen for a few pixels is just so annoying and dodging bullets. I really suck at mega man.

Ninja Gaiden is fast but fun and does require some time yes. But all those games are straight forward. Go from the left to the right and avoid enemies and no hidden crap. No bombs you can't place correctly and other shit stuff. I just think Mario 2 is designed like ass and I can't work with that.

I also love Duck Tales 1&2

Castlevania 2 sucks ass like Mario 2
Like Zelda 2
It does suck ass because I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I have to GUESS stuff and ASSUME stuff.
The other games are all about fast reflexes. You really don't see a difference here. Also like I said Nintendo logic.

Metroid can be a pain in the ass about getting lost but are the enemies hard? No. It's just tiny little fuckers that will remove a tiny amount of HP which you can always farm at those pipes.
Contra is a difficult game I admit that. The bosses are my biggest problem.

Kid Dracula also does get hard at a certain point but it's also as straight forward as it gets.

It's not the game's fault that you haven't gotten good yet. I beat Zelda 2 but it took maybe 10 years before I really sat down with it and made the effort. I think it took just shy of 150 continues. It's not Nintendo's fault that you experienced games that let you beat them even if you suck at video games, where EVERYONE IS A WINNER before you played true-school, golden age NES shit.

I will add that this is me playing the game using Retroatrch and a NTSC filter. I use to play this game all the time on a real NES when I was like 10, and could complete the game under an hour. I also played it a lot on the Allstars collection too.

[Anonymous No.10571661]

that NTSC filter is pretty comfy. I use the same thing on the FCEUmm core, just feels right, especially with the first generation of black box NES games like Golf.

I use the NTSC shader with a VGA monitor and it looks pretty good.

Also, any character can do the 'power squat jump' where you hold down for about 3 seconds and the character glows.

I meant to say 1 second. Not 3. This movie and princesses floating ability by holding down 'B' can make some stages pretty easy. Luigi has the highest jump. Toad is good for digging though sand.

No it isn't. Only stage 1 is like that.

Anyway, you can't be good at games (as you say you are) and suck at Mega Man. And having trouble with the bombs in Mario 2 is just bizarre. I could see becoming stuck at least briefly due to failure to understand that one can enter the snake jars, but otherwise you're full of crap. You are a bad player and a bad critic. Or, as always, maybe just a troll.

Sure thing. Keep on pretending and lying to yourself.

Castlevania 2 and Zelda 2 are such amazing games that they said
>wow those games are so great let's never ever do this again because why would we give people something they like

Really Castlevania 2 was so amazing that 3 went back to the style of 1
And Zelda 2 was so amazing that all Zelda games after 2 went back to the style of 1 and no other Zelda game ever released that shares anything in common with 2
In fact Mario 2 had such amazing game play that Mario 3 went back to the style of Mario 1
Really makes you wonder. Are you simply that retarded or do you love lying to yourself.

Really if those games were so great and amazing why did all those games go back to the style and game play they used before making all those second games one big mistake and outcast that never ever got repeated again for A REASON
I know you can't answer that because it means you would have to agree with me
But I'm sure you can come up with some bullshit lie reason like those games were so amazing they knew nothing could ever beat them
Breath of the Wild was successful so they copied the style
Symphony of the night was so successful that it changed all future Castlevania games
Mario 2, CV2 and Zelda 2 suck so hard the companies wish those games would have never happened otherwise they would have adopted the gameplay for future games

CV2 gave way to Symphony and its brethen, SotN alone has plenty of references to CV2 and IGA mentioned enjoying that game's interconnected world and exploration.

Zelda II was something Miyamoto and Koizumi wanted to try once more, Ocarina of Time being a "thematical remake" with focus on sword fights and even shit like the Fairy Spell was set to reappear as we now know. The earliest tech demo version of Zelda 64 used Zelda II Link as a placeholder for this reason alone.

Zelda 2 and CV 2 were the actual Japanese developers trying, and failing, to do something different. Mario 2 USA is not comparable. As far as the Japanese are concerned, mainline Mario has had the same formula forever.

[Anonymous No.10573251]

>>10573226
Why the fuck do you kerp bringing Zelda and Castlevania 2 up as reasons you can't beat Mario 2? What the fuck is your angle trying to constantly deflect? In case your memory is as shitty as your skill at games let me remind you that the whole reason we got Doki Doki Panic reskinned as Mario 2 i America is because the real Mario 2 was deemed too difficult so they picked an easy game instead. Nothing you say about Zelda 2 or CV 2 applies in any way at all (and I think you know it) the whole thread is you find Mario2 US hard and that's pathetic.

Thanks a million for finally admitting this! This is what I've been saying for days now.

[Anonymous No.10573380]

>>10573343
Except the example the thread is about doesn't apply in any way because the real Super Mario 2 is very similar to Super Mario 1. It also then only half applies to Castlevania because although 3, 4, bloodlines and rondo followed a more similar style to 1 the series ended up being more like 2 than anything. Also, the reason CV2 in America is considered hard is because the translation is both bad and purposefully obtuse. Other than that, the combat, enemies you fight and the msnsions you clear along the way it is far FAR easier than either CV 1 or 3.

So really what you're left with is that Zelda 2 was a misstep that most people don't like and everyone agrees the directions LA and LttP took are better.

And all this but you still constantly defect over why you find Mario 2 US so hard that after 30 years it still baffles you and you have to ask us how to even throw bombs. What the fuck is wrong with you?

The reason why is because Nintendo couldn't continue selling Doki Doki Panic in Japan after a certain date. Doki Doki Panic was a promotional game for some world fair like event that happened in Japan in 1987 with a bunch of Japanese tech companies. It was called Yumi Kojo '87 or something. The characters in Doki Doki Panic were the mascots for the vent. The rights to sell the game with that license expired. I know people from Japan who recognize Doki Doki Panic more as Mario USA, because Mario USA has been sold for a longer period of time in Japan.

>vines
I realize this is b8 but I'll respond anyway. Climbing vines is no prob, you can move on them and even jump off because that becomes very useful in later levels, which you never got up to.
I don't expect everyone to see it my way, but smb2 is a masterpiece. I realized this when I brainstormed ideas for a romhack, then realized everything I came up with is already in the game. Very well-designed all around, the characters have balanced pros/cons, and it has a dreamy atmosphere.

>>10573551
1cc'ing Battletoads is one of my finer achievements, it took alot of practice. I can confirm, the game keeps flipping the mechanics on you, each level has a new gimmick. It's all very creative, unfortunately many ppl didn't experience it all because the difficulty is so unforgiving. At least there's Japanese Battletoads if you want an easymode.
