SMB2 constantly builds upon its core mechanics in intuitive and imaginative ways up until the very end. I was particularly impressed by how the game mixes vertical and horizontal progression (and, smartly, drops you down a long shaft at the beginning to demonstrate the game’s vertical portions from the onset), but what struck me was just how amazingly well the game constantly builds on its relatively simple platforming and grab-n-toss mechanics up until the very end through natural gameplay progression. In light of the Mario Maker speculation, I recently went back and played SMB2 again, just to make absolutely sure I wasn’t wearing any sort of retro goggles, and everything about it still holds up. (You have no idea how valuable the B button run is until you don’t have it.) When Nintendo brought their Famicom Disk System games over to the West on cartridges, they often took the time to make significant improvements, and SMB2 has a lot of them: significant graphical overhauls, more frames of animation, expanded and rearranged musical compositions, and gameplay enhancements. (“THE ORIGINAL NAME IS DOKI DOKI PANIC” is a meme at this point.) Most people aren’t aware, however, of how much SMB2 is a tremendous improvement over its original incarnation.
