Did you know? Ending in beta version of Super Mario Bros. 2 wasn’t a dream

January 2nd, 2010 Posted in General Nintendo, News, Posted by Valay

Once Wart is defeated at the end of Super Mario Bros. 2, Mario can be seen dreaming in his bed. Because of this, it’s only natural to assume that what occurred wasn’t real. Basically, there is an indication that the adventure takes place inside Mario’s head.

You may be surprised to know that the beta version of Super Mario Bros. 2 plays out a little differently, though. Unlike the retail copy of the game, the ending in the beta version doesn’t show Mario dreaming. This is probably a result of the Doki Doki Panic ending being used and didn’t include the addition found in Mario Bros. 2′s closing sequence.

    It was incomplete. Who’s to say the ending wasn’t planned? I think our source needs to at least double-reference, like hacking for any sprites or backgrounds used in the final ending but not seen.

    The ending was just that it says, “The End.” Yup, that’s it.
