Originally released in Japan as Super Mario Bros.® 2, this game has previously made only brief cameo appearances in the Western Hemisphere. Mario fans will appreciate the familiar look and feel of the game, while finding that its updated game play creates an entirely new challenge. In addition to the classic enemies already known to fans worldwide, there are also Poison Mushrooms, backward Warp Zones, and the occasional wind gust (which can help or hinder your progress). Players can also choose to control Luigi as the main protagonist. If that’s somehow not enough, expert players can go looking for the game’s secret worlds. So get ready to put your Mario skills to the ultimate test, and save the Princess again. Just don’t be surprised if she’s in another castle!

Do you have what it takes to rescue the Princess and save the Mushroom Kingdom?

Originally released in Japan as Super Mario Bros.® 2, this game has previously made only brief cameo appearances in the Western Hemisphere. Mario fans will appreciate the familiar look and feel of the game, while finding that its updated game play creates an entirely new challenge. In addition to the classic enemies already known to fans worldwide, there are also Poison Mushrooms, backward Warp Zones, and the occasional wind gust (which can help or hinder your progress). Players can also choose to control Luigi as the main protagonist. If that’s somehow not enough, expert players can go looking for the game’s secret worlds. So get ready to put your Mario skills to the ultimate test, and save the Princess again. Just don’t be surprised if she’s in another castle!

Virtual Console

This classic game is part of the Virtual Console service, which brings you great games created for consoles such as NES™, Super NES™ and Game Boy™ Advance. We hope you'll enjoy the new features (including off-TV play) that have been added to this title. See more Virtual Console games for Wii U.

Story

The story is identical to the story of Super Mario Bros., the previous game in the series. Bowser, the king of the Koopas, invades the Mushroom Kingdom, turning its inhabitants into inanimate objects. He kidnaps the princess of the kingdom, who is the only one who can undo Bowser's spell. Hearing of this, Mario and Luigi set out to rescue her.[1]


Gameplay

Basic gameplay is the same as that of Super Mario Bros., in that it is a 2D side-scrolling platformer in which players play as Mario or Luigi, jumping and running on the way to the flagpole, which is the object of each level. The game features thirteen worlds with four levels each. At the end of each world, players must fight a boss, which is always Bowser or a Bowser imposter. Enemies are spread throughout the levels which must be avoided or defeated, many of which can be stomped on as a method of attack. Also spread throughout the levels are coins and blocks which, when hit, release coins or power-ups that can be used to aid the player.

Unlike its predecessor, there is no two-player mode. Instead, the player is given the option of playing as either Mario or Luigi.
