I liked it a lot! The boss battles are some of the best to be found in a 2D Mario.

Amazing game and (at the time of its release) my most coveted game of my early childhood.

I begged and begged for it for Christmas. Instead, my parents decided to surprise me with.......MILAF%$#INGPEDE!

Luckily I was able to rent it from a local game shop at a later time.

I only got to play the enhanced version from Super Mario Advance. From that version, I enjoyed it for what it is (even though it took me a LOOONNNGGGG time to finish it). I appreciate that it's the first game to play as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad in one game, which would be something that 3D World would follow. Having each character have specific traits was nice (even though it was basically copy and paste from the Doki Doki Panic characters). I liked the challenge 2 provided, though Advance really made the game a little easier compared to the original. Plus, we were also introduced to characters such as Shy Guys and Birdo who became staples in the Mario franchise. While fundamentally different as a platformer compared to it's predecessor and future successors, Super Mario Bros. 2 (or USA) is still a good game in its own right.

i really liked this game - at th etime was good - different and fun.

Of course weird in the main SMario serie but at the time I had no idea what mario was going to become.
