If you'd like to try out the levels for yourself, the code is 8N4-T08-TGG. Good luck! Feel free to send me updates to bosses I could do on Twitter as I would like to make the most authentic version of Super Mario Bros 2 as I can.

Here's a tip for anyone wanting to recreate the potion item: the P-Switch, when hit while you have the SMB2 Mushroom plays the same sub-area music.

[@cioelle]

I wonder if anything can cover up the outline without covering up the door.

Tip for Shyguy / Turnips, use Goombas and Goombrats for the versions that don't fall of ledges, and use a stacked Muncher&Blooper with a Simisolid for Turnips.

[@raimondveiper]

you can grab enemies through semisolids, so you you can use something else for turnips and won't have holes that player can fall through

Someone from gamexplain used a really cool trick for the turnips. Have a hole in the ground where the turnips go and place a donut block. Then put a dry bones in there. It works really well actually

[@SpyWilliam123]

I've already recreated SMB2 in SMM2 when it came out, in the SMW game style. Some of the solutions you had for some issues were overly complicated and could be fixed much easier. 1) 1-1 and many levels on SMB2 have multiple sub-areas and you dealt with this in a very weird way. On 1-1 you put the first vertical area in the sub-area which is exactly what I did, but when it came to the second vertical sub-area, you should've just put it in the sub-area as well rather than doing what you did. Sure it would've been a night theme or the first vertical area would've been a day theme, but when recreating Nintendo-made Mario levels, you should always prioritize functionality over aesthetics. As for the underground area in 1-1, a simple fix would've just been to create that area with a semi-solid background rather than putting it in the sub-area. I usually did this as it works quite well and functions almost identical to the base game with the doors. 2) On turnips, you discovered that is no good way to implement them, and I had the same issue as well. I couldn't find, and still haven't found, a solution to this problem. You used clouds as turnips, but in this case, it would've been better just not to include them. Clouds add platforms to your recreations that didn't exist in the original and don't serve any purpose and do a poor job at recreating the functionality of the turnips. I just used the 1x1 background elements to recreate the look of the turnips, without affecting gameplay. In areas covered by a semi-solid, I used a one unit tall vine coming out of the ground to replicate the look. 3) You used koopas as shy guys because their properties were similar in how they move, but goombas and goombuds would've been a better choice. They move the exact same way as koopas and shy guys, but throwing them with thee SMB2 mushroom behaves exactly like throwing a shy guy, whereas throwing a Koopa is like kicking its shell. I noticed other weird enemy choices that'll let get to further in this comment. 4) Hidden blocks work great for mushrooms and I did use them originally, but players who haven't played SMB2 wouldn't know where they are, which is a big issue. Along with not all mushrooms being easily implemented this way do to location, I don't think that was the best way to go about doing that. I resorted to putting the mushrooms on tracks, as it kept them in place, like in the original game, while allowing new players to see and easily access them. 5) You could put a star on a track going upwards after every five coins to replicate the original game. I've seen a lot of people do this, although I haven't because it is hard to replicate on all stages. 6) Shellmets could be used instead of shell turnips, but keep in mind players can put them on if you do use them. 7) I found that replicated Birdo was too much trouble and just used Larry as the basic Birdo, and later Iggy for the harder Birdos. If you can find a better solution though, go for it. 8) One thing to keep in mind when recreating SMB2 levels is that not all ninjis behave the same. Some of them jump up and down, while some of them behave almost identically to monty moles. Figuring out which ones did what was really annoying. 9) Pipes work much better as pots than doors, even if they are too big. If there is already a sub-area, you can use scroll stops to make it feel like the pots are contained. 10) Remaking the underground area in 1-2 in the overworld with semi-solid backgrounds fixes the key issue. 11) Using the cursed key as a "hard mode" doesn't really sit well with me as it doesn't replicate the original game well. There are definitely ways to make the keys work in every level they appear in without needing to do this. 12) I hate how you recreated trouters as there is an incredibly easy fix for it that I'm really surprised you didn't think of. Winged cheep-cheeps on tracks works perfectly for recreating trouters. Your solution is overly complicated. 13) Keys work great as a crystal ball with the eagle door being a key door. If I remember correctly, there are one or two levels I couldn't get this to work on, but usually, it works great. 14) For a lot of the castle levels, I found it a lot easier to separate the outside areas and the castle areas into two different levels. I think this works fine in my opinion. 15) Cobrats can be recreated using a rocky wrench stacked on top of a monty mole. The monty mole pops out of the ground and moves similarly to the cobrat and the rocky wrench throws wrenches like how the cobrats spits projectiles. 16) The desert bone semi-solids are a great alternative to the bone platforms in SMB2. The only issue is that they are semi-solid, whereas the bone platforms are not, but this doesn't really affect gameplay as the bone platforms aren't placed anywhere where that would matter. 17) I'm noticing a lot of problems that could be fixed by recreating underground areas in SMB2 with semi-solids in the overworld in SMM2. From now on I'm not going to mention it, but just keep that in mind. 18) I feel like you made 3-2 too easy. This was a hard level in the original game as well, but you couldn't skip areas or damage boost if it was too hard, you just had to do it. Giving players the chance to damage boost and rewarding them with a powerup for it is bad level design in any level. 19) The rocket bonsai bill is incredibly creative and gave me a good laugh! I'm pretty mad I didn't think of that first. Haha! 20) For the autobomb, I stacked a red bullet bill launcher with a podoboo inside ontop of a monty mole. Any autobomb that was ridden by a shy guy just had a goomba on top. This is one unit too tall, but any problems that came because of this were easily fixed. 21) Used parabeetles as albatoss and just placed a bob-omb under them to recreate the enemy. I think this works better than Lakitu. 22) Parabeetles work perfectly as albatoss in 6-2 as the behave almost identically. To make the parabeetle fly to the right instead of the left, I just put a bullet bill launcher that would launch them in the right direction. Parabeetles also work great, because you can stand on them whether or not you are SMB2 Mario. 23) I can absolutely agree that recreating 7-2 is an extreme challenge. I didn't even think it was possible before I did it. From what I can tell, your recreation of 7-2 is awesome. Other than the naked pipes of course; definitely fix that. 24) On an aesthetic note, you use clouds way too much, and when clouds should be used, you don't use them. That's the main issue, but there's definitely a lot of ways you could improve the look of your levels and make them look more like the original. Overall, it is a good recreation, but there is a lot of things that should be changed and a lot of weird choices you made when recreating these levels. I think you said you weren't a level creator, and if that's true, this is really good. I'd love to see an updated version of these levels with some of the issues fixed. If you need examples, my creator code is 80X-VJD-FGF. All of the SMB2 levels are there. Keep in mind I made them when SMM2 came out. I do have updated versions of them, but I am still debating whether or not to upload them.

I used koopas as shy guys because you can use them as projectiles. For the ninjis I put koopas on tracks. The cherries were qustion blocks with the third containing a star. The vases were pipes. For the bombs I put lit Bob-ombs in the hidden blocks. Bowser Jr. in the clown cart was birdo, because he throws shells. I put one way walls to keep him from moving. The Doors had to be pipes because they take you to the other zone. The Lady bugs were lava bubbles on tracks. The warp zone coins were pink coins. The logs were lifts that go down, curve up and go back to the top. And 2,306th comment.

Ideas (I know this video is over a year old, but you can use them in your recreations) (also reply if u have any other ideas or opinions on mine): instead of koopas, use goombas and goombrats for the shyguys, so they have no shells in the end. for the turnips, use a blooper on top of a muncher, blaster, etc, and place a semisolid so you cannot fall in, but can pick up the blooper and use it as a turnip. it’s looks and works very similarly! replace the potions that summon doors with something to store a key, and put a key door nearby. in the door, instantly activate a p-switch, and use a setup with p-blocks to force you to go back into the level whenever the switch expires. Replace the falling logs in 1-1 with big fish bones falling from pipes at the top of the screen (best recreation that I could think of) For that flying bird thing in 6-2 (forgot name) that’s kind of like a flying buzzy beetle, just use a hard block on tracks (wow)

A tip on planning levels by using clouds as a guide - I can't speak to Photoshop, but I know in Gimp (free program, poor man's Photoshop) you can see an image to have a grid with the lines a specific length and height apart. Set them to the size of the Mario 2 tiles, find one tile to move into place so it all matches the grid, and presto.

2:08 WDYM?! When you have this power literally Goombrats act the same exact way as the pink Shyguys and and Goombas act the same as the red Shyguys!! No shell involved!!!

1:46 actually you can put a muncher 2 blocks under the ground, a blooper stacked on top of it, and a one-way gate to block you from entering the hole taking the blooper would create It works, i tried it in a level i made 2:09 goombas can work as normal shy guys, goombrats can work as pink shy guys, and tweeters can work as paragoombas 4:17 hoopster and trouter can both be a blooper on a track, flying trouter for the latter 8:18 Mushroom blocks can be that contraption where the chain chomp stump crushes a bob omb, making the bob omb explode and killing the chain chomp, leaving the stumpcfor you to grab 9:17 cobrats can be angry wigglers so they follow you (this one is kind of a stretch isnt it?) 9:22 you could used hard blocks for the bone textures so they arent too easy to break, specially since the shy guys are koopas 11:47 semi-solids are kinda close, definitely better than donut blocks 14:57 stack a cannon on top of the monty mole for the shooting 16:48 semi-solids 17:45 big blooper on a track 18:23 semi-solids...

I remember while ago I almost completed recreating SMB2 in SMM2 I abandoned it but I'm thinking of going onto SMM2 and finishing. Instead of just cramming in big stages into one level, my solution was to just split them into two levels. Only the castles did this, as the normal levels could fit in SMM2. I haven't gotten to that part, but I remember that the final castle would have to be split into three parts, which, lucky day, the last world of smb2 only has three levels instead of 4, so i can fit three parts.

[@OddTomato]

Hey Nathaniel, I hope you see this! There's a really useful method to help recreate maps from old games! You can make an overlay grid on a map (as long as the map is created with a 1:1 pixel representation). I did this when I remade Kid Icarus 1-1 in SMM2. I used the image editing program GIMP. Here's what you do. Download GIMP, install, open the map's image file. Then go to Filters->Render->Pattern->Grid. Type 16 for width and height, then change the line width to your liking, I prefer 1. This is what you end up with. dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/resk1ugg48xv194/SMB2-GIMP-Grid.png This works with most, if not all, NES and SNES games that use blocks/tiles for their level design. They almost all have 16x16 tiles, at least from what I've seen.

[@mirandatagliamonte9754]

Odd Tomato Great tip, also what’s the ID of your Kid Icarus level

[@OddTomato]

@@mirandatagliamonte9754 It's NB9-WNH-S1G it's kind of rough around the edges, since it was one of my first levels, but you can see the general layout is as 1:1 recreated as possible given the limitations (original Kid Icarus lets you seamlessly move from the edge of the screen to the other side).

[@mirandatagliamonte9754]

Odd Tomato Thanks! I don’t mind if it’s hard since the original level is already super hard anyway (the Underworld levels are literally and figuratively hell)

[@Dargonhuman]

Every NES game should have 16x16 tiles because of how the bits and bytes are stored in memory. Retro Game Mechanics has a couple of videos explaining how that works, and since most of it is beyond my comprehension, it's probably best to give them a look. But yea, that's an awesome tip that should help a lot of level makers looking to recreate classic NES titles in SMM2.

Actually you can remake those vegetables. In 1:50 u can see above the pipe that green platform put that green platform where you want to grab something out. Put a blooper in the green area and under the blooper put that chain chomp's bumb? (idk how to write that im not an american). Then the blooper cant get out of there and you have some sort of vegatable. But otherwise a good video. U can throw the blooper with no issues.

"There wasn't much of a workaround" I can't help but think with a bit more creative thinking you could have planned some of these better. What about using the bone decoration in the desert theme to make the bone blocks look nicer? Surely there's a more graceful way to split up levels than using huge walls, you could've at least used the scroll stop! Why can't things like pots be more consistent?
