I'm proposing to move this and a few other games from Category:Mario platform games. Please see discussion there. --Heywood 18:44, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Piece of trivia...
"There is a Super Mario bros. 2 prototype which is a hybrid between Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario bros. 2 that has not been dumped as a rom image."
Is this true? This is the first time I've ever heard of this, and I have a Famicom website! FamicomJL 12:05, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
The only thing I know for sure was that there was a music mp3 of an alternate cave music from a near-final prototype, but I don't know the website now... 72.80.103.119 23:36, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
I seen a few images, I wish I had the mp3 instead. Cause I hear it's a pretty good remix of the SMB1 underground theme.--Iamstillhiro1112 12:19, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
For those interested, here is the thread where I found the SMB2 beta images. http://www.s2beta.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8699&st=60 I've uploaded one to the site and put a link to it in the trivia. If Wikipedia don't delete it then I'll upload the other two.--Iamstillhiro1112 19:57, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Which are the original names for the characters?
In Doki Doki Panic, no one seemed named except for the four main characters. No names like "Mamu" or "Catherine". So Super Mario USA comes along, and it lists all the names of the characters in the credits. So there's "Wart" and "Birdo". So my question is, which names came first? If you look at the Japanese version, you'll see that none of the names were changed. Instead, you'll still see "Wart" and "Birdo". The only time the Japanese version used its traditional names was in Super Mario Advance, and even then it was only to change "Toad" to "Kinopio", and "Shyguy" to "Shy Guy" (as opposed to "Heihoo"). Were the Japanese character names like Heihoo, Mamu, and Catherine conceived in later appearances, or was it initially used for the original Doki Doki Panic and ignored for the Mario Bros. release? 208.101.160.214 10:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Differences in music between DDP and SMB 2
In the differences section, one major point was not mentioned. The overworld music from DDP was much improved upon through extension in SMB 2. In SMB 2, the overworld music is presented in an A-B-C form with the A and B sections repeated once and the C section looping back into the A. In DDP, we only hear the A section on a continuous loop. I believe this is a very important detail that should be included in the "Differences..." setion. El Chileno Chido 23:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] DPP story
This article has a scan of the game's instruction manual's story. If someone could be able to translate it, that would be great. — NES Boy 23:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
