The real SMB2 was on Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES and I gotta say⦠The reskinned Doki Doki Panic is a better game.
It is, but it doesnβt play like a Super Mario Bros. game at all. They just got away with it because the series was still new.
Even back then, when you jumped onto the first enemy and just⦠Stood on them instead of killing them was pretty different.
It wasnβt totally outrageous though. Zelda did it. I think there might be more, but Iβm old and this is reaching way back in the memory banks.
