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.

Platinum Games has started a rather interesting countdown on their official Japanese website, which should end in slightly less than a week. There’s no real clue as to what the company will be announcing, but some are speculating that Shinji Mikami’s project will finally be unveiled. The countdown page itself is actually pretty neat – You can check it out here.

A few days ago, Mistwalker founder Hironobu Sakaguchi provided an update on his blog regarding the company’s newest project. Initially, there were plans to unveil the game this year, but Sakaguchi apologized and instead said that an announcement will be made sometime in 2010 instead. It’s now officially the first day of the new year in Japan and the blog has once again been refreshed with a short post. Sakaguchi noted that he is putting a lot of effort into the game and is trying to make it “the best project.”

“Happy New Year.
2010 is the year of my long-awaited new blockbuster project.
I’m putting my heart and soul into this production. I’m taking a full swing and making this the best project.
Oh, by the way, We are also working on a project for iPhone.
This should be released soon as well.
We will put our efforts together and do our best!
I’m sure you’ll Love it.”
