[@logan_wolf]

33:27 It was because you had a cherry in the first slot. Cherries work a little differently from the other ... thingies in the slot machine. You don't need to match three: if you get a cherry on the far left, it doesn't matter what you get in the middle or right, you'll get a 1up. If you get a cherry on the far left and in the middle, and a non-cherry on the right, you'll get a 2-up. If you get three cherries, you get a 5-up. You basically build up the cherries from the left side, and get rewarded on how many consecutive cherries you get lined up, starting from the left.

[@Retro6502]

This is NOT Doki Doki panic. The giveaways are the very notable graphical differences that weren't changed back, difference in bosses, and Doki Doki Panic requires playing every level with all 4 characters to beat the game. This is Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA) partially reskinned with a few of the original Doki Doki Panic sprites.

AND you can't dash in the real Doki Doki Panic.

That's why I stopped watching when he was on the second level. Sorry, Ryu. I've never quit you before.

[@lyrand6408]

Yeah, I thought something wasn't right. The music alone is still SMB2's, and if I'm not mistaken enemies being mostly identical was also a big sign. Back then Nintendo would have probably sent the Yakuza up anyone's arse if they dared copying anything they did.

Is this just a rom hack of SMB2? The dash feature isn't in the real Doki Doki Panic. Basically makes it a completely different game without being able to dash.

[@SuperNickid]

Ryu: The hack version of the game got a few thinks wrong compare to the original FDS version the guy that looks like Super mario behave like toad and he his the only one that can run but only while holding an object, the others can't run while holding an object and also without holding an object and they do not shrink, and there hit box stay the small hit box even when they stay big. So the guy that skiny his the one that is suppose to behave like mario. In the original FDS, the other two are correct. Even in the original FDS birdo his called Catherine and it is 3 hit however their is a glitch that one egg toss can hit birdo twice since enemies don't have invisiblity frame between hit, and also dead enemies can sometimes damage you character.

[@WXVA9]

You said at 44 minutes or so that they changed very little...not really. You're basically playing Mario 2 with a couple of skins and such. It's not like they changed a ton, but many of the changes are not present in this verison.

[@tetermc]

There are other differences if you play the original version of the game. Mostly it has to do with animations. Waterfalls are animated differently and I think pow blocks aren't animated at all. There are other visual differences like that but the version you're playing is pretty much just smb2 with swapped out sprites. The game was also developed by most of the same people who made smb. They were told to make it "more like mario" while in development.

So I just came across a hidden gem on Switch and wanted to share it with you guys and with you Ryu because after 25 min of playing I can tell it's right up your ally, its called "Kaze and the Wild Masks" and it's on sale for $5 on switch right now, it's a platformer in the same vein as Mario and you collect masks that allow you to transform into different animals like an eagle that can fly or shark that swims and each level has collectables like mario or DKC games, anyways just wanted to share that and hope to see you try it out in a future video Ryu!

Ryu: The other diffrence in the FDS it save at every world but you have to game over to save, so even in the FDS if you did not have infinite continues because of the save feature it would not matter, and it does not auto save when you game over you have to chose the seclection save and then flip the disk back to A side for the game to save on the disk system, and A side is the title screen, and side B is the game itself, and also in the FDS version you have to beat that world in other to save that world, so for example in 1-3 if you take the warp zone to world 4 and game over and save in world 4 you will start back in 1-1 since 1-3 was not complete. So in the FDS if you used a warp zone 1-3 and then in 4-2 you used the warp zone to world 6 you have to complete 6-3 before you can save. And the level you did not complete will be save as not complete, and it will also save when you complete the game, but you only have the truth ending if you used all character for example if one of the character reach world 2 the normal way and game over to save, if you pick a diffrent character you have to start at 1-1 and the same for the other each of the character behave like there own save file. In the FDS version 5-3 is just Mouser again with 5 hit made harder then 3-3. Forgot to mention in FDS version the room that you take the key, the mask does not chase you untill you leave the room. All the other glitch are the same

Good stuff! Derek is my favorite Mario Bros character! Mario 2 (USA) was one of my favorite games as a kid as it was just so different and creative. Though, it is probably the hardest of the NES Mario trilogy (not counting Lost Levels) since you only get two continues (I am pretty sure there is no way to gain more continues). I'm glad we got this game instead of Lost Levels on the NES. Lost Levels was just Mario 1 but with an obnoxious difficulty. And without Super Mario Bros 2 USA, we probably wouldn't have had Birdo, Shy Guys and Ninjis as Mario characters!

I think in the original DDP, the characters were Papa, Mama, Imajin, and Lina. In the US SMB2, they were reskinned as Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Peach (in that order). Luigi got Mama's jumping prowess, and Lina gave Peach her hovering jump and slow picking up/digging ability. However, Toad's attributes were Papa's, and Imajin was the balanced character like Mario is. I don't know if Birdo (originally named Catherine in DDP) being only a 2-hit kill was in the original game, though.

Even though you can call Super Mario Bros. 2 a ripoff, the developer of Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic is Nintendo. While all the villains in this game aren't originally Mario villains, because Nintendo is the developer, they're able to make that change. And I agree with you on later levels being the most memorable. I think that's the reason they are. I have a lot of good memories from playing Super Mario Bros. 2 as a kid. There are times where I remember what I was thinking and how I was reacting to certain areas of the game, because it was an area my brother and I had never reached, and it took a while to do so. I miss those days. Thanks for playing this game, it brings back a lot of good memories.

Super mario bros.2 that was already completed just not release yet and change it to a console version with the high bounce mechanic, and adding new levels that are unlockable for the disk system that is the one called Super mario bros. the lost levels, so they send Super mario bros. 2 aka Super mario bros. the lost levels. Too mush of the same game so it got refuse and since the game for the festival was just for the festival and it was exclusive for Japan. Yumi kojo did not mine for Nintendo to send it as the original plan to outside of japan. Japan only got the mario version of it in 1992 as Super Mario USA for the Japanese NES. The US version was suppose to have NES Super mario bros. the lost level in 1993 but they did not bother since we got it anyway for the Super nintendo as part of the all-stars collection, so North America was less likely to keep the first NES. While in Japan they are more likely to keep both system.
