Do you know SMB2? Well, there was a Japanese version of SMB2 that didn't follow the American version. The Japanese version was actually the sequel to SMB1. It had a couple of different things, like:

Red Piranha Plants: They're like the regular ones, but they come out even when you're near the pipe and they come out faster. They can't come out when you're on the pipe, still.

Poison Mushrooms: They're mushrooms with a skull on it. If you touch it when you're Super or Fire Mario, you change back to regular Mario. If you touch it when you're regular Mario, you die. :(

Green Springy-Boards: They're like the red one, but they go WAY higher. They make you go SO high, you won't even know when you're gonna land!

Floating Bloobers: Bloobers floating in the air! You can stomp 'em, too!

I thought everyone knew this being it was the "Lost Levels" for the Mario All-Stars on the SNES. This was a very fun and challenging game. Pick up the ROM or the original (yes, there is a version in NES format for your NES emulators floating around the internet). It's well worth the searching.

It was even in Super Mario Bros. Deluxe for Game Boy Color. I had to beat the game with more than 300,000 pts. to get to it. It was called Super Mario Bros. For Super Players.

Oh, and for the Famicom ROM, I can't find it. Oh well.

I remember the lost levels!!!

Jeez, that game was VERY VERY hard! I could get pretty far, but I haven't played it in awhile.

Loved that game, but still played the SNES version of Super Mario Bros. more.

I smile because I have no idea what's going on. :D

I have the Super Mario All-Stars ROM, too. I've been playing it last summer, and I can't get past the first castle! I could in the SMBDX.

Get the NES rom of it, it's worth it. Mario All-Stars was STILL a toned down version still of it.

What did they do? Idiot-Proof it?

Dang, I'm gonna look for that now.

I smile because I have no idea what's going on. :D

The SMB2J for the NES had a much more accurate hit test which meant you had to do things like hit goombas just right while SMB and All-Stars (and other games) you could still hit them almost horizontally as long as you were jumping and still stomp them. Not sure what else is different but this is what I've noticed. It adds a much bigger challange to it then you'd expect too.

Bah, that'd make the whole "Double-jumping" thing almost impossible!

...Well, maybe you could get a double, but not a triple or anything better...
