Doki Doki Panic - A quick look

This is a quick look at Doki Doki Panic, the game that was made into the US version of super mario brothers 2. Frankly, I think it was a change for the better, the real version of mario 2 was just a rehash and Doki Doki Panic was far less refined than the smb2 that we know.

After 20 + years I now feel cheated.

SMB the lost levels was indeed difficult it took me hours to pass 8-3 but I was able to beat it. if it was so difficult to be brought to the US when it was developed then certainly Battletoads should have not been brought even in a compilation game.

@moviemovies1 It says the same on the Super Mario Wiki...

@SMA2343 I know, but everything else is correct on the page, so I don't see why this isn't correct.

@moviemovies1 One thing, anyone can change anything on wikipedia

[moviemovies1]

@SMA2343 Straight from Wikipedia (A little shortened):

Doki Doki Panic originally started as a Mario game prototype developed by Kensuke Tanabe. The prototype emphasized vertically scrolling levels and throwing blocks. The gameplay was considered not fun enough at the time and was scrapped until later when Tanabe received instruction to use the Yume Kojo mascots in a game, at which point he expanded the gameplay and developed Doki Doki Panic.

@moviemovies1 OBJECTION. doki doki panic is a game its self, Japan made Super Mario Bros 2, but Nintendo America stated that it was too difficult for American gamers, it was called in North America "Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels" so, they needed a second game they got doki doki panic and switched around the characters

Koji Kondo made the music.

Shigeru Miyamoto worked on it too.

Doki Doki Panic was developed from what was originally going to be Mario 2.
