I'm glad this became Mario 2. It made Nintendo's library more diverse and combined with Zelda 2 shows that sequels can be good without being identical to the games before them.
3 should have been 2. Unless the Japan version of 2 was released here. There is nothing good about this being the second Mario game or the second Zelda game.
I used to have a book called how to beat nes games and it was seriously just like this a legit paperback novel of just walkthroughs with comments and quotes from "experts".
The real Mario bros 2 was way to hard and they didn't want people getting mad and quit. The person testing died within first few minutes of game by eating poison mushroom
I've suffered and been in the grasp of addiction, for years the last few days I've been coming off subutex. I still have to have my xanax. But your videos help me though the withdrawal. Thank you I've even started playing my hard nes games. Thank you my doggo friend.
Please friends if you have a drug problem. You can get clean dont substitute what you taking with sub. Its amazing drug but take it no longer than 3 weeks. And never take xanax unless you have crippling anxiety. I do but drugs arent the answer. Ive wasted close to 100k. In 8 years.. i love you all, and your not alone
I did too guys! Personally, I like it better than SB3. I’m gonna get hate for it but I like being able to play 4 different characters with different special jumps.
I’m on 7-2… by using TH-cam to figure out where all the mushrooms are in 7-2 I found out that this is the finale and I was like holy shit I’ve never been here before😂
This game is a milestone. It gave the Mario cast some of their trademark moves and abilities, like Luigi's floatier jumps and Peach's hover, and introduced enemies that would later become used in the rest of the Mario series like Bob-ombs, Shy Guys, Snifits and Birdo
Toad is The best character at the beginning and princess at the end because she can float. Luigi is too tough to control, Mario doesn’t do anything well but he isn’t bad at anything either.
@@wjb4578 for sure! Toad nearly 99% of the game. He picks stuff up the fastesr and the princess for one or 2 levels. But yeah Toad for pros! Luigis jump is so sloppy and slow!
Whether intended or not, the fact that you can skip certain areas of the game based on the character you select for the stage, is WAY advanced for an 80s gaming mechanic. I REALLY love this often misunderstood game in the franchise.
Got this game when it first came out and it was the first game I beat. This is one of my favorite games,so much nostalgia for me. Thanks for showing this game the respect it deserves.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames: *Fun Fact:* The sound Birdo makes when spitting eggs or fire?? The same sound is heard in The Legend of Zelda (1986 NES) when Wizzrobes fire at Link!
At first i thought it was so stupid because i doubt anyone really comes here for the “strategy”. But there is so much passion and love behind these that it reminds me of how I felt about all of these games when they were new. This channel proves that it’s not the content that matters, it’s the heart of the creator. There are a millions other channels but not many with the same amount of heart.
These videos are great. Most of these on your channel I've beaten multiple times, however it's great to see new techniques and easier ways of doing things. I've beaten some games "the hard way" and you show easier ways to do it. There's also hidden things I never really knew existed before.
If you get a star while in subcon and the star fades out as you leave it, it will play the subcon Mario themed music on repeat and you'll hear more parts of the song.
I've never been able to beat this Mario game until I watched your tutorial of this game. As soon as I watched you and utilized everything I finally beat this game. I have always loved this Mario and Mario 3 about the same but am glad to finally say I beat Mario 2 after all these years
That's so awesome - congratulations! I love hearing when people are able to beat a game after watching one of my videos - thank you so much for telling me about it!
Man this brings back memories. It got to where I could time it right and get more cherries than not. This and Megaman 2 were the only NES games I completely mastered.
Agreed. Not sure why he said Luigi is a good digger. He is the second worst. Only princess is slower. Toad, Mario, Luigi and princess in order of fastest digger to slowest.
@@alwillk yeah, this was the only mistake i noticed. i guess he is good at getting back up with the key, but he’s terrible at digging and lifting. must’ve gotten the info from an old guide and never got corrected on it
Feels odd commenting on an old post video but like to anyways. If it wasn't noted before, one cool thing you will note that if you play all the levels its equal to a count of 20 thus allowing you to play each character 5 times. If you do this at the end screen when it shows the contributor it will actually cycle through all four names equally on repeat until the screen changes to sleeping Mario. I found this back in the day when I was trying all different ways to beat the game then I had before. Also love the channel and have sub'd since I found it. You are one of the few people that imo have the perfect narration, Tone, pitch, speed, clarity etc , most excellent gift. I hope you continue to post as long as you can.
One thing I really love about this channel is not only that he goes through the game showing strategies on how to beat the game but the history about the game at the beginning. BTW, I thought 2 cherries u get 3 extra lives not 2.
Thanks, Bobby! I put a lot of extra work into those history parts, but I think its important to give the game some context. Definitely 2 Cherries = 2 lives, except in the SatellaView version, where you get 4.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Thx for your response and clarifying the whole cherry deal. I for some reason thought it was 1,3,5. Lol Probably cause my favorite numbers are all odds. Who knows, but keep up the great work and looking forward to more.
Of all your videos this game is probably the easiest. However, I am appreciative of you saying the names of all the enemies and bosses in these games. So many games had very odd names for things. And, even a game like this that I can beat I still get to learn something.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames lol yea would seem like the video to do would be on the real super mario 2 since its so much harder, but i prefer this one alot more and enjoy your channel alot because 90% of the games are ones i had in my childhood, and many i find out things i never knew back then so i never beat them. They were very bad at explaining things back then like zelda 2 i never knew you leveled up anything etc.
Out of all three Super Mario Bros. games, this is the only one that I could beat. I became so good at the slot machine that I could earn over 90 extra lives. I was easily able to beat SMB 2 with that many lives. This is my favorite SMB game.
In mario 3 save all your p wings and clouds for the final area and you can cheese the hardest levels in the game. Also on level 2 there is a trick involving the leaf powerup and a tube of infinite spawning Goombas that you can repeatedly exploit for infinite lives.
The evolution of Mario games never disappointed and always added something new. I am glad they chose this to be Mario 2, The Lost Levels seems too much like an extension of the Super Mario Bros. game. I feel Mario 2 set the bar for future Mario games having different mechanics, level design, and possibilities of what a Mario game could be. This game helped shape this franchise into my favorite franchise in gaming.
Hi, first of all thank you for your channel! I'm appreciating your job and it so exciting to know there are many people who really does like old NES video games. I'm 40 and wondering how I could beat games when I was 13-14 years old. So I feel like gamer retired, however your videos help me to remember how beat the games. It reminds me of that times we played together with friends or were watching for experienced gamers, sometimes I showed how beat the game. As for Super Mario Bros 2 there's another patient strategy to stand on the 2nd platform and waiting for vegetables from horn heading under your feet without necessity of avoiding bubbles. Kind regards, Max.
This is tied with Super Mario Odyssey as my favorite Mario. People today discount it but SMB2 was THE game that propelled Nintendo into the stratosphere in the USA. It totally expanded the idea of what the Mario games could be in a way the series hasn’t seen since Odyssey, imo.
These are awesome videos! I love that it's not just a bunch of speedrunning strategies, just how to beat the game. Keep them coming, and as a request I would love to see Faxanadu played
This was the game my family got with the NES. It was a pack in title and boy oh boy did i spend hours and hours of my childhood playing this awesome game. I dont care if it is “a real mario game” it was the 1st game i ever played with the name mario attached to it and it will always be my favourite mario game
I grew up with this game and didn't think I'd learn much, but I actually did! I had no clue you could really hit Wart from behind like that!!! Well done video overall!
Those are exactly the games I like to play here! Mostly NES for now, but I've done one SNES game, and will definitely do some Sega and Atari at some point.
I am currently playing this one having not been able to get far as a kid and got really frustrated at the time! Your guide is very helpful! It never occurred to me to buy the Nintendo walk through as as a kid!
This was when I was working at NOA in Washington. What you know sounds like the game play counselors I heard there. I still have my 1st copy of Power magazine too.
Extra nice job on the opening retrospective with this one! Also it's funny that in a Mario game, Mario himself is the only character who's never used in speedruns
i think dixie in dkc2 is inspired from peach in super mario usa, cause they both have ability to fly. this game was indeed easier than smb1 and 3, cause it's the only one i've finished being a kid.
Howard Phillip's rocked and make a good choice! I love super mario 2! Mario 3 was my favorite though. Even up until now my favorite is Super mario bros 3! Super mario world was great but it could have been so much more and was a bit rushed.
I love how the coin count goes into hexidecimal after you break 10 coins. I would guess that 16 coins is the max allowed per level. Great video on my favourite NES game of all time!
This was one of the few games I owned as a kid, the system being my brothers. I've never seen whats inside the high up room in 3-1, or beaten 3-2. I definately didn't know about vegetables besides the big turnip and the onion, how the Starman worked, where the warps were (tho I was convinced there was something past the 1st warp pot), the rocketships, Bob ombs, or how you could only get coins twice. Glad this is an all luigi/peach game. It seems a lot more fun now! That whale level is the cutest! I'm glad we got this instead of lost levels.
Had your channel recommended a couple of days ago. I love when channels cover the game history. Star tropics is my favorite game ever. Yes, even more than Mario and Zelda. 😁 I see you did part 1. Will you be doing star tropics 2? I think it is underrated.
Thanks, Starla! StarTropics is one of my favorite games, too, and I'm very excited to cover StarTropics 2. Not sure when, but I expect within the next month or two!
That 'phanto' mask scared the shit out of me when I was a kid! The idea of some kind of ghost-like monster that can phase through matter relentlessly hunting you down for taking something that didn't belong to you was just terrifying!
Every time I played this as a kid, I always got sick to my stomach lmao. Until one day, I decided to play it when I stayed home from school with a migraine and I didn’t get sick to my stomach because the TV was muted so mom wouldn’t hear it. There must have been some resonant frequency in this game that my ears didn’t like. Wow. Flash backs. However, I’m not sick to my stomach now as a 42 year old lololol. I’m watching this whole thing. You’re an amazing dude with how you explain everything ❤️
I love how, as kids, we never questioned the differences between Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros 2... yet as adults, we can see the quirky differences so clearly... .Yet still never question them 😆 I loved this game back when it was released 😍
I remember hearing stories about how hard it was for parents to find this game at christmas time. Some drove to other states only to be shut out and have to drive 5 hours back with nothing to show for it.
We got lucky here in NJ, ALL the stores were sold out BUT Service Merchandise. They had BOXES of Mario 2 and Zelda 2! Guess noone figured to check that little store outside the mall. (I bought 2 copies each and kept a sealed copy of each to just have since there were so many)
Just found your channel yesterday it's great to see this kind of gameplays now days it brings such good old memories love your videos keep up the good work saludos Desde 🇲🇽 👏👌
@@UCanBeatVideoGames But in the final release NES version, we cannot choose between all 4 characters every time we die Untill game over, was that just a oversight?
Great content. Both informative and entertaining. Love the long length and ASMR quality of the videos. I have not seen similar content on TH-cam and I think you have a very unique channel. You are the Bob Ross of video games!
I'm glad this became Mario 2. It made Nintendo's library more diverse and combined with Zelda 2 shows that sequels can be good without being identical to the games before them.
Same. Mario 3, SMWorld are basically remakes of of what came before with better technology. This is at least an original story with a different boss.
@@davidm4566 yeah original story rofl
3 should have been 2. Unless the Japan version of 2 was released here. There is nothing good about this being the second Mario game or the second Zelda game.
This channel is like the modern equivalent of an improved version of the "The Official Nintendo Player's Guide"
1st time I saw someone say this you are so right thank you
I used to have a book called how to beat nes games and it was seriously just like this a legit paperback novel of just walkthroughs with comments and quotes from "experts".
My new favorite channel
The official Nintendo players guide digital version
Or "Nintendo Power" 😀
Mario 2 always felt like the Mario Bros game that was on a completely different level of creativity, to this day it's still my fav.
My thoughts exactly. Loved it so much
That's because it isn't a Mario game. It's Doki Doki Panic. But they put Mario sprites on it to sell to the US. The Lost Levels is the real Mario 2.
The real Mario bros 2 was way to hard and they didn't want people getting mad and quit. The person testing died within first few minutes of game by eating poison mushroom
@@nathanpickering7312 yeah and I'm happy they dumbed it down cuz "not the real" mario 2 is the only one i was ever able to finish haha

Most of these games I don't know nor beaten but just hearing his calm commentary makes me chill.
Beat Mario 2 for the first time today, thanks to this guide. 33 years was too long for that to sit in the backlog!
Yeah, I just completed this last night! 30 plus years of regret just ended. Happily
I did too guys! Personally, I like it better than SB3. I’m gonna get hate for it but I like being able to play 4 different characters with different special jumps.
Congratulations. I'm glad you finally did it. 🙂
I’m on 7-2… by using TH-cam to figure out where all the mushrooms are in 7-2 I found out that this is the finale and I was like holy shit I’ve never been here before😂
@@Crypt0c_unt I remember 7-2 was rough. I beat this game as a kid, circa 1990~91, and that last dungeon was a huge b!tch lol
This game is a milestone. It gave the Mario cast some of their trademark moves and abilities, like Luigi's floatier jumps and Peach's hover, and introduced enemies that would later become used in the rest of the Mario series like Bob-ombs, Shy Guys, Snifits and Birdo

I just joined and I'm adoring this channel!!
I nearly forgot this was a walkthrough video!
Agreed, the intro was a good treat on the game's history.
I do the whole game with Princess Peach. I was so excited as a kid to be able to play as her. I really enjoy this channel 🤩
Her float was awesome. I used her a lot too.
Yes she was great that floating came in handy.
Nah, Toad is the way to go, hands down. He may not jump high but his speed makes the game literally a breeze.
Toad is
The best character at the beginning and princess at the end because she can float. Luigi is too tough to control, Mario doesn’t do anything well but he isn’t bad at anything either.
@@wjb4578 for sure! Toad nearly 99% of the game. He picks stuff up the fastesr and the princess for one or 2 levels.

Another man of culture, I see.
I played the Arabian theme one. It felt amazing I loved it. Didn't know it's called super Mario 2 until today.
Wart: to protect myself, I´ll just place an infinite anti-Wart ammo generation machine a few meters before where I am. Sure it will be fine.
I assume that is the titular Dream Machine and Wart does not have full control over it.
U Can Beat Video Games is always here for me when I just need to zone out and chill. ❤
Out of all three Super Mario Bros. games, this is the only one that I could beat. I became so good at the slot machine that I could earn over 90 extra lives. I was easily able to beat SMB 2 with that many lives. This is my favorite SMB game.
Wow, I didn't know anyone was that good at the slot machine - too bad you can't translate those skill to help you win in Vegas, lol
In mario 3 save all your p wings and clouds for the final area and you can cheese the hardest levels in the game. Also on level 2 there is a trick involving the leaf powerup and a tube of infinite spawning Goombas that you can repeatedly exploit for infinite lives.

I love love love your videos. Would you think about doing a run through of Mario RPG?
Okay, that explanation of why Mario Bros. 2 was so completely different makes more sense than "they just ripped off an existing game and resigned it"

I dont care if it is “a real mario game” it was the 1st game i ever played with the name mario attached to it and it will always be my favourite mario game
For the 1st time you cover a game that I can complete.
I surprisingly knew nearly all of these secrets. While not as efficient as Luigi, Peach is a pretty close second.
Peach is quite good, and certainly has some areas where she's just the best!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Do you know what happens if you tie all the contributors at the end? (5 each)
It's a beautiful game too.
Level 4-2 when you dodge the beezos, we used to call that “the slick n’ chick” when we were kids.
much like the zigzag digging should be called the digzag
Jeff Bezzos is in SMB2 😱 😯
I always wondered how well received 'Doki Doki Panic' was in Japan, before it was ever considered to become a Mario Title.
I used to get Nintendo power.. I loved getting new issues, man..good times.. ill bet there still at my dads house somewhere
SMB 2 is my FAVORITE Mario release.

I grew up with this game and didn't think I'd learn much, but I actually did! I had no clue you could really hit Wart from behind like that!!!
Well done video overall!

Those are exactly the games I like to play here! Mostly NES for now, but I've done one SNES game, and will definitely do some Sega and Atari at some point.
Me 2. Started off with the 2600, nes, then Genesis.

This was one of the few games I owned as a kid, the system being my brothers. I've never seen whats inside the high up room in 3-1, or beaten 3-2. I definately didn't know about vegetables besides the big turnip and the onion, how the Starman worked, where the warps were (tho I was convinced there was something past the 1st warp pot), the rocketships, Bob ombs, or how you could only get coins twice. Glad this is an all luigi/peach game. It seems a lot more fun now! That whale level is the cutest! I'm glad we got this instead of lost levels.
4 dash 2 was my favorite level with pricess. It became muscle memory to duck and jump over every little thing. Loved it.
Had your channel recommended a couple of days ago. I love when channels cover the game history. Star tropics is my favorite game ever. Yes, even more than Mario and Zelda. 😁 I see you did part 1. Will you be doing star tropics 2? I think it is underrated.
Thanks, Starla! StarTropics is one of my favorite games, too, and I'm very excited to cover StarTropics 2. Not sure when, but I expect within the next month or two!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames loved the star tropics 2 vieo! Watched it twice. 😁
Pro points for continued use of Luigi - i love an underdog story
That 'phanto' mask scared the shit out of me when I was a kid! The idea of some kind of ghost-like monster that can phase through matter relentlessly hunting you down for taking something that didn't belong to you was just terrifying!
Mario 3 gets all the glory but, 2 is such a unique and bad ass entry in the franchise.
Mario 3 is great, but this game is def amazing in its own right!
@Drew5876 I agree
Just did it! Can't wait for a SMB3.
Every time I played this as a kid, I always got sick to my stomach lmao. Until one day, I decided to play it when I stayed home from school with a migraine and I didn’t get sick to my stomach because the TV was muted so mom wouldn’t hear it. There must have been some resonant frequency in this game that my ears didn’t like. Wow. Flash backs. However, I’m not sick to my stomach now as a 42 year old lololol. I’m watching this whole thing. You’re an amazing dude with how you explain everything ❤️
thank you!!
I wonder what it was about this one that made you sick? Crazy!
super mario bros 2 is my favorite mario game. loved it when it came out. and still do.
I love how, as kids, we never questioned the differences between Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros 2... yet as adults, we can see the quirky differences so clearly... .Yet still never question them 😆 I loved this game back when it was released 😍
Thank you so much!!! Been playing this game since it's release and have never beaten it!! God Bless you!!!😊😊😊😊
I love this game and your guide to go through it. Luigi is so broken here!
He really is! Love Luigi in this one
This channel is so cool! I'm on a binge with these videos.
Great format and aesthetic. I absolutely love this content.
Thank you!!
Just beat this game for the first time today, all thanks to this video!
Toad was always my main because of his speedy onion-pulling ability
Toad is really good! I always liked being able to get lots of coins for the slot machines with him.
I mean, that's what I look for in a companion too - some speedy onion-pulling. lol
A lot of the kids on the schoolyard liked princess. I honestly couldn’t stand Luigi because of the slow jump.
I remember hearing stories about how hard it was for parents to find this game at christmas time. Some drove to other states only to be shut out and have to drive 5 hours back with nothing to show for it.
I was lucky enough to get it for Christmas! I'll never forget it. My Dad was a hero!
We got lucky here in NJ, ALL the stores were sold out BUT Service Merchandise. They had BOXES of Mario 2 and Zelda 2! Guess noone figured to check that little store outside the mall. (I bought 2 copies each and kept a sealed copy of each to just have since there were so many)
Sadly I sold the 2 sealed ones in 2012. If only I still had them now...
Just found your channel yesterday it's great to see this kind of gameplays now days it brings such good old memories love your videos keep up the good work saludos Desde 🇲🇽 👏👌
Thank you!! Glad you're enjoying it! This was one of my games, I still can't believe how many secrets this decades old game has.
Awesome channel. Very entertaining and informative, keep the videos coming!
Thanks!!
This game was and is awesome. I thought it was so cool you could choose between the four characters.
Right? That was so advanced for the time!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames But in the final release NES version, we cannot choose between all 4 characters every time we die Untill game over, was that just a oversight?
I was terrible at jumping in this game so I always used Princess Peach. The ability to float slower if need be was priceless. LoL 🙂👍
Great content. Both informative and entertaining. Love the long length and ASMR quality of the videos. I have not seen similar content on TH-cam and I think you have a very unique channel. You are the Bob Ross of video games!
Schon witzig, ich konnte nie gut mit Luigi spielen. Die Prinzessin fand ich aufgrund ihrer Segelfähigkeiten am Besten.
As kids we thought those mushroom blocks were marmelade jars
Beautiful! Great job my man, one of the best Mario's of all time
