Famicom Fridays 004: Super Mario USA

Why is this game called Super Mario USA? It does carry a very interesting story. Turns out, the Super Mario Bros 2 we got in the States was another game that was released in Japan but was placed the Mario brand on it. This game was Doki Doki Panic which turned out to be Super Mario Bros 2 here. Japan never got that Super Mario Bros 2 as they got another one which we know as the Lost Levels. Confusing huh? Anyways, years went by and finally Nintendo decided to release the Mario they never got which was then called Super Mario USA for obvious reasons. The game made full circle and is available in both regions. If you want to play Super Mario Bros 2 USA release on your Famicom, then this is your answer! Super Mario USA!
