I first played the NES Marios when I got the Super Mario AllStars Snes pack... from reading games magazines I had gotten the impression that SMB2 was a bit rubbish and I wouldn't like it very much. But they were completely wrong, It's a fantastic game. Haven't played it in years but it's certainly on my list of games to download for the Revolution.

I could have sworn the Phantos were unkillable. If you dropped the key (either by throwing it at them or not) they would leave the screen. But if you picked it back up, they would return in a few seconds.

I definitely remember running out in front of them then turning and throwing the key at them. I'm pretty sure it accomplished something. Whether it killed them or just stunned them... hmm *scratches head*
Unfortunately, it's been years since the last time I played Mario 2...
If I had the game handy I'd try it to confirm.
Did they leave the screen if you dropped the key or did they just stop moving, daring you to pick it up again?

They left the screen, at least in the NES version.Diffense said:

I was maybe too young to get into it when it originally came out. I really got into the original and Super Mario Bros 3 and somehow skipped this... maybe I rejected it cos it was different or something. I'd never - for instance - got as far as Wart...
but then I revisited the game with the launch of Gameboy Advance. Mario Advance is freaking awesome if you've never played the game before. The egg incentive really had me carefully thinking about where to throw those potions too.

One thing I could do in NES SMB2 USA over the other versions was that I was able to get a bunch of 1ups in the slot machine after each section (I noticed a pattern and was able to get triple stars or whatever max 1ups you can get on each spin 80-90% of the time). Later versions fixed the pattern and made it more random =P
Personally I think I liked SMB2 USA more than SMB3...I liked the quirky world and uniquess of the playable characters in SMB2 whereas in SMB3 it went back to the core of SMB1 along with Mario and Luigi just being different-colored clones of each other. Though SMB3 was a great game and made the series familar with fans again I was kinda hoping for something even more different like SMB2 USA (this was before I ever heard about the Japanese SMB2 and Doki-Doki Panic).
Even though I liked SMB2 USA's different direction I can't say I felt the same with Zelda II =P (it was alright).

Luigi easily > * in that game. His jumped solidifies his position as number one.
In the NES (Euro) version, I used to earn billions of extra lifes in the slot game thanks to my "Nippon'do" (NES clone) pad with TURBO A and B buttons. You just had to learn the exact time to press it (helped by the catchy tune of the bonus game) and... voilá!
PS. I was incredibly scared of those bastard masks too. They were soooo creepy... (in fact, all the game was; its wackyness was wacky in a very 'dark' way --I can't explain it better...)
PS'. Thanks for the link, bummyhead!!
