'trilogy outside of Japan. This game is unique in that it was made to replace the original ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)|Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' that had been released in Japan. The original one had been nearly identical to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', save for new levels and a far great difficulty. Instead, Nintendo chose to remake a different Japanese game known as ''[[Doki Doki Panic]]'' into the international ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. |

Although the heroes can still run and jump, they no longer squash the enemy by jumping on them. Instead Mario and co. can ride on most enemies and pick them up and use the enemies as weapons to throw at other enemies. In addition to that, the heroes can find other items they can pick up, usually by pulling up tufts of grass to see what is beneath. |

Notable among these is the [[Shy Guy]] that became one of the most popular Mario enemies. Additionally, Peach's floating jump would become an integral part of her abilities in other games. Luigi's 'running' jump would be recycled in all of the ''Super Mario Advance'' titles as well. |
