It's funny that people still use Doki Doki Panic as a real Mario game and not the real Mario 2.
And Yoshi's Island too - which became it's own series - do you consider Yoshi's Island DS a Mario game too? - because the change there was great from the previous one - why don't include it then?

If Yoshi's counting, why don't you people try Super Princess Peach or Wario World (and Land) for changes in 2D platforms in the same universe. After all, they must be "Mario" games too. Even DK country should too, since it's from the same universe - after all DK is a Mario character.

In the end, it's all just because Nintendo hasn't changed much the visual style of the game.


Yeah, we all know about Doki Doki and what not.  It's just that Nintendo says "This is Super Mario Bros. 2" or Yoshi's Island is "Super Mario World 2".  We don't get such distinction from Nintendo themselves when it comes to  the Wario games or Princess Peach.  Hope that helps ya, Fox!

But we know better than that about Mario 2.

The other point is, if it's just Super Mario World 2, it's considered Super Mario Bros 5 then? Or not?

Or it's another Monster World naming imbroglio?


Just like how the Gameboy games went:  Mario Land, Mario Land 2, Mario Land 3: Wario Land, Wario Land 2

or

The advance games went:  Super Mario Advance (SMB2), Super Mario Advance 2 (Super Mario World), Super Mario Advance 3 (Yoshi's Island), Super Mario Advance 4 (Super Mario Bros 3).

 

Nintendo is batshit crazy when it comes to stuff like that.  Then again, Call of Duty did the same thing with CoD1, CoD2, CoD 3, Cod MW, CoD MW2, CoD MoW3, and somewhere in the middle of all of that we got Big Red One, World at War, and Black Ops.  They're all still Call of Duty but keeping track is a chore.
