You are NEVER going to believe this.
Until you watch THIS movie through to the end.
Some brilliant guy discovered something shocking.
Nintendo COVERED UP THE FACT THAT THEY COULDN'T THINK UP A GOOD ENOUGH GAME FOR SUPER MARIO BROS 2! The result?
We all know this one.
But if you watch the movie, you will find a few interesting concepts, that I never really stopped to think about.

Oh... uh.. This guy... who found this all out... He swears a bit.
Might want to avoid watching it around...say...over-bearing parents with an unfondness for cursive words.

That is crazy. They definently copied that Doki Doki Panic game. Actually when I was a kid my father bought our first NES system at the same time as Mario 2 was released. He used to play that game every day. You couldn't save your game so he would leave the system on for weeks. I always liked the game anyways, but it is funny that they copied it. I'm surprised that this is the first I've heard about it.

That's totally ridiculous! What a rip off...I mean, personally I kinda liked Mario Bros 2, but the guy is DEFINITELY right, it was NOTHING like the original. I liked it just for the mere fact it was cool. Haha...at the time I was a kid, it didn't matter, but now looking back I think it's cheap that Nintendo did that. What a rip off!

In the review the guy mentioned that the version for the Game Boy Advance was really cool. So I went out and bought it to play on my Nintendo DS Lite. It is really cool. Even thought they did steal it I love it.
