I said no. Does that mean I like SMB2?
I think that since it's 20-30 years past and most people here probably either weren't alive or were very young when it came out, we're all looking at it in the glorious rear-view mirror of indifference. Granted, they probably never said "based on Doki Doki Panic!" in the ads, but, I mean, this was (Japanese) videogames in the '80s--technically Mario Bros. is a rip-off of Joust. Sequels back then were always awkward, intentionally or not, so the fact that this one was just based on some Arabian dream-game fills the weirdness quota. It did give us Shy Guys and Bob-ombs, though!
