Poll Results 2


This poll was more of a quiz from the last poll.

I just thought of it as I was playing Super Mario Bros 2 on the virtual console.


In Which game did the Shyguy first appear in?

Super Mario Bros
Super Mario Bros 2
Yoshi's island
Yoshi's Story

The correct answer is Super Mario Bros 2. The American Version that is.
Allow me to explain,
Nintendo created Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan and saw that it was incredibly difficult, probably too difficult for America. So when Nintendo found a perfect game that edit a little bit and use, the used that. And that game was called Doki Doki panic!
All Nintendo did to change the game to suit being called Mario bros 2 was put in the characters, Mario Luigi Peach and Toad. They titled the game Super Mario Bros 2 and were done with it.

But many people found out that the real Super Mario Bros. 2 was only available in Japan.

This is the original Super Mario Bros. 2












This is the Doki Doki Panic version




















It's obviously not the Super Mario Bros you remembered.

But if Nintendo hadn't used Doki Doki Panic to create Super Mario Bros.2, then there would be no character such as the Shyguy. Because Doki Doki Panic was the only game to have a Shyguy until Super Mario Bros 2 came along.

When Super Mario All Stars came out on the Super Nintendo, there was a problem. There had to be a compilation of past Super Mario Bros games but there was clearly two Super Mario Bros. 2's.
So Nintendo named Doki Doki Panic Super Mario USA, and Super Mario Bros 2. the Lost Levels. This also confused a lot of people.


I see most of you got this poll right, with 66% of you locking in the correct answer and the other 34% of you getting it wrong.

I still love Super Mario Bros. 2, even if it isn't the real version!
