''Super Mario Bros. 2'' came about after [[Nintendo]] of America deemed ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' too difficult for Western audiences,<ref>McLaughlin, Rus. (September 13, 2010) [https://www.ign.com/articles/2010/09/14/ign-presents-the-history-of-super-mario-bros?page=3 IGN Presents: The History of ''Super Mario Bros.''] ''IGN''. Retrieved August 2, 2017.</ref> which led Nintendo to redevelop the [[Family Computer Disk System]] game ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' into a ''Super Mario Bros.'' game for the international release. After its release, the game became a commercial success, and eventually the game became well received enough that it was also released in Japan. After performing well both critically and commercially, ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' has been rereleased as one of the four games featured in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', as well as having its own [[reissue|remake]] in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''. Many enemies introduced in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' have become common recurring enemies in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, such as [[Bob-omb]]s, [[Pokey]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s, and more, while the gameplay mechanic of picking up various items and tossing them has been reused in several later games.

==Story==

'''Story from the instruction booklet'''

Defeated enemies and Birdo can re-spawn if the player runs one screen away from the area where they normally appear and return, which may allow the player to defeat the enemies again in order to regain health if necessary; this still occurs in later releases (except ''Super Mario Advance''), but a defeated Birdo does not reappear unless the player completely leaves and re-enters the areas where Birdo is fought.

==Glitches==

{{main|List of Super Mario Bros. 2 glitches}}

===Disappearing Mushroom Blocks===

If the player throws a [[Mushroom Block]] offscreen and does not see it land, even to a place where it should safely land, it disappears until the player leaves through a door and comes back.

==Critical reception==

==Trivia==

*The South Korean Virtual Console release on Wii is the Japanese version, whereas the South Korean release on Nintendo 3DS uses the international version.

*If the player defeats [[Wart]] with [[Luigi]], he does one jump in the ending cutscene instead of two.
