Dive into the classic platformer Super Mario Bros. 2 on GameCube, Wii, and Wii U Virtual Console. Experience retro gaming magic with Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Peach in vibrant, challenging levels. Rediscover Nintendo's timeless adventure!
Super Mario Bros. 2 (World) is a reimagined version of the original Famicom Disk System (FDS) title, remastered for Nintendo's GameCube, Wii, and Wii U Virtual Console platforms. Unlike the internationally released Super Mario Bros. 2 (based on Doki Doki Panic), this version retains the challenging platforming design of the 1986 Japanese FDS original, featuring unique level layouts, enemy placements, and mechanics. Players guide Mario through eight worlds filled with hazards, power-ups, and classic 2D side-scrolling action.
• Retro-inspired platforming: Navigate tougher jumps and enemy patterns compared to later Mario titles.
• Power-ups: Collect iconic items like the Fire Flower, Super Star, and POW Block.
• Two-player co-op: Alternate turns with a friend in local multiplayer mode.
• FDS authenticity: Preserves the disk-based save system and chiptune soundtrack of the original release.
• Virtual Console enhancements: Includes save-state support and updated visuals for modern play.
