Hey man, as someone who played it back then, can you tell me if people realized Super Mario Bros. 2 was weird? I remember older kids not seeming to realize how different it was than the other ones. I was always like "Uh, didn't anyone notice the graphics got way better and then worse for Super Mario Bros. 3"?

I think everyone realized that SMB2 was a different animal. Personally, I think it was a better game than SMB1. A lot of people were turned off by how different it was. It was something new and innovative though, so of course people were going to have reservations.

The fact that it had four different playable characters with actually different play styles was enough to set it apart in that generation of games.
