Super Mario Bros. 2

Get the game at Amazon.com!

Reviewed by Joel Lehman Super Mario 2, the second in the famous Mario Bros. series. (actually third, after the original Mario Bros. game, which actually involved no scrolling), is to say the least, different. It is very, very different from either Mario 1 or 3, which are kind of similar. This one, you throw vegetables, use magic potions & pows, and many other weird things. This is not bad, however, and makes the game interesting.

Graphics A-

The graphics are very colorful, and are a big improvement over Super Mario 1. Also, now you can scroll vertically & horizontally, not only horizontally, which changes gameplay a little bit, but most of your scrolling is still going to be horizontal.

Music and Sound A-

Music is not too memorable, typical video game fare. It sounds a little bit better than super mario 1, but I believe that super mario 3 improves on 2 a little bit. Sound is fairly good, with a good explosion for using the rocket, and throwing vegetables, and hitting baddies.

Game Challenge A

I never finished this game, even using the warps that are not-to-cleverly hidden throughout the game. Some of the levels just get too hard. This is not a good thing, because I like to be able to get what I paid for out of a game, and when you can't finish it, well, you don't get your money's worth. On the other side, I am not an expert gamer, and you might have more luck than me.

Game Play-Fun A

What makes this game fun is the variety of characters you can play as. Princess Toadstool can levitate, Luigi has a high jump, and Mario is pretty well rounded. Toad is in there too, I think he's the strongest or something. Anyways, this game is pretty fun. The levels are different and varied, and the bosses are too. From the bomb rat to the egg spewing what ever he is.

Frustration

This game really wasn't very frustrating. A few of the levels are really hard, but they would be beatable to a better game-player than I. It's really not that bad.

Replayability B

I'm not sure how many times you can play this until it gets boring, but it takes awhile. I wish that more of these games would have put a password feature in, instead of continues. You have to play the same levels over and over again when you restart, and that makes it very annoying. Asides from that, you can play this game quite a few times before it bores you to death.

Game Value A

NES games are now really good buys, usually only a couple dollars per game. I would recommend this game only because it's so cheap, and is part of a classic series that still is going on today on the n64. I think anyone with an NES and a bit of spare time should get some of the games in the mario series.

Overall A

Just because of the price, I think that this game is a good buy, if you can find a used video game place somewhere around where you live. It's a good game, and I think that you'd enjoy it. The graphics and sound are good, and most of all, it's really cheap.
