Famicom Mini 21 - Super Mario Bros 2 (Japan)

Famicom Mini 21: Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan) on GBA is a port of the Japanese release of Super Mario Bros. 2. Unlike the Western release of Super Mario Bros. 2, this version offers a unique and engaging gameplay experience. Instead of the familiar traditional platforming style, this game provides a completely new experience.

The game retains the familiar Mushroom Kingdom setting but with a distinct art style. Players control Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Toad, each with unique abilities. Instead of jumping and defeating enemies by jumping on their heads, players must collect vegetables to throw at opponents or use special items to overcome obstacles. Each level is designed with various challenges and secrets, requiring players to use skill and strategy to succeed.

The gameplay of Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan) emphasizes collecting items and using them cleverly. Players must find ways to collect the required number of vegetables to unlock new areas or defeat powerful bosses. The game also features a variety of diverse enemies, each with its own weaknesses, requiring players to learn and apply appropriate tactics. Exploring secret levels and searching for hidden items will reward players handsomely.

With simple yet beautiful 8-bit graphics and cheerful sound effects, Famicom Mini 21: Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan) on GBA is an excellent choice for those who love classic platforming games, especially those who want to experience a different version of Super Mario Bros. 2 compared to the international release.
