The '''Sega Genesis Mini 2''', known as the '''Sega Mega Drive Mini 2''' outside North America, is a miniature video game system by [[Sega]]. 


'''Super Mario Bros. 2''' is known as '''Super Mario USA''' in Japan. It is a remake of ''[[Dream Factory: Doki Doki Panic]] (夢工場 ドキドキパニック, Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic)'', in which the characters from the [[Fuji Television]] "Dream Factory '87" event are replaced with characters from the [[Super Mario series|''Super Mario'' series]].
It contains fifty built-in games, running on an [[emulation|emulator]] designed by [[M2]], and is designed to resemble the second model of the [[Sega Genesis]].  


==Story==
Unlike the original [[Sega Genesis Mini]], the Sega Genesis Mini 2 includes [[Sega CD]] games in addition to Sega Genesis games.
[[File:super-mario-bros-2-title.png|left|250px]]
[[Mario]] and his friends were summoned during their sleep to help in Subcon, the kingdom of dreams. The evil Wart and his minions took over the kingdom and captured the Subcons, the fairy-like creatures that inhabit the dream world.


Thus, Mario, [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], and Princess [[Peach|Toadstool]] had to travel across seven worlds, defeated Wart's minions, and ultimately defeated Wart himself.
One six-button controller is included which connects to the console using a USB connection. The video is output through HDMI.


Unfortunately, it wasn't easy as Wart was impervious to physical damage. However, he was able to be hurt if he ingested vegetables. Luckily the Subcon Dream Machine, of which Wart took control, alternated between creating monsters and creating vegetables.
==Sound selection==
 
The Sega Genesis has both FM and PSG sound sources. As the sound was different between the two models, there is a choice of playing music and sound effects as they would sound on a model 1 or a model 2.  
Ingesting four vegetables defeated Wart, freeing the Subcons from the vase in which they were imprisoned, thus finally making Subcon free from the terror of Wart and his cronies.


==Development==
==Development==
In 1987, Fuji Television created a special event titled "Dream Factory '87".  Fujisankei Communications Group, the company that owns Fuji Television, previously worked with Nintendo in 1986 to create ''[[All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.]]'', a version of ''Super Mario Bros.'' that contained celebrities, logos, and other objects related to the ''All Night Nippon'' radio program. Fuji Television commissioned Nintendo to create a game based on characters from their "Dream Factory '87" event.
According to [[Yosuke Okunari]], a creative producer within Sega that also worked on the Sega Genesis Mini and the [[Game Gear Micro]], a miniature [[Sega Saturn]] or [[Dreamcast]] was considered for Sega's next mini console. However, the cost would be too much due to the microchip shortages caused by the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. That shortage caused the price of the Game Gear Micro to be about one and a half times higher than initially projected, and Sega wanted a mini-console similar in price to the Sega Genesis Mini in order to maximize sales. Sega had access to the board used in the Sega Genesis Mini, however, it would not be powerful enough to run Saturn or Dreamcast games. Thus, a miniature console based on the Sega Genesis model 2 was chosen with a price point only slightly higher than the original Sega Genesis Mini.
 
[[Kensuke Tanabe]] and the team at [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development|Nintendo R&D4]] already had a Mario platforming prototype. The prototype originally had vertical scrolling gameplay and emphasized throwing blocks. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] suggested to use horizontal scrolling gameplay.  When the prototype was expanded into a full game it contained Mario elements, such as the POW block from [[Mario Bros. (video game)|Mario Bros.]] and the [[Starman]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
 
However, the original ''Doki Doki Panic'' contained characters from "Dream Factory '87. The story revolves around a storybook. Twins Poki and Piki were fighting over the last page of the book, and the evil Mamu pulled them into the book. Their family has to venture into the storybook themselves to save them. The brother, Imajin, was average in all areas. Mama could jump high and float for a bit. Lina, Imajin's girlfriend, could hover, but she lacked speed and strength. Papa was the strongest and fastest, but he couldn't jump very high.
 
Nintendo decided not to bring ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' to North America, as they felt that it was too similar to ''Super Mario Bros.'' and would be too hard for North American gamers. Instead, [[Nintendo of America]] localized ''Doki Doki Panic'' so that it would be a ''Super Mario'' game. This game was released in 1988 in North America, Europe and Australia as ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. It was localized in Japan as ''Super Mario USA'' in 1992. Then, when the original ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' was released outside of Japan in 1993, it was titled ''The Lost Levels'' to differentiate it from the game they received as ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.
 
==Differences from Doki Doki Panic==
 
*The storybook aspect was removed, and the land wherein the game takes place was named Subcon rather than Muu.
*The evil villain was now named Wart rather than Mamu.
*Imajin became Mario, Mama became Luigi, Lina became Princess Toadstool, and Papa became Toad.
*It is now possible to press the B button to run.
*You can pick a character to use at the beginning of every level.
*The level introduction screen doesn't show the number of lives remaining unless a life is lost and the level is tried again.
*The leaves that contain vegetables that can be pulled out of the ground are orange instead of black.
*Magic lamps are now magic potions, hearts are now mushrooms, and the big face head is now a turtle shell.
*The mask gate has been changed to a hawk.
*Masks are now mushroom blocks.
*The white Mouser boss in 5-3 has been changed to a rock-throwing crab named Clawgrip.
 
==Other versions of the game==
[[File:super-mario-pc-cabinet.jpg|160px|left]]
''Super Mario 2'' has been released on many different systems, both through traditional game ports and through [[emulation]]. It was released to arcades on the [[PlayChoice-10]] system in 1988. This system allowed play of up to ten NES-based games before the system's timer ran out.
 
For home use, it was released as an enhanced port for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] as part of ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' in 1993.  A slightly modified port of the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version was released on the [[Game Boy Advance]] as ''Super Mario Advance'' in 2001. The latter also contained an enhanced remake of ''[[Mario Bros. (video game)|Mario Bros.]]''


An emulated version of the NES version was released for the Virtual Console on [[Wii]] in 2007. An emulated version of the SNES version of ''Super Mario All-Stars'' was released as ''Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition'' on Wii for the 25th anniversary of ''Super Mario Bros.'' in 2010. It was released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] Virtual Console and on the [[Wii U]] Virtual Console in 2013.
The Sega Mega Drive Mini was revealed on June 3, 2022. Sega planned to increase its marketing in Japan and will have most of its sales volume focused on the Japanese market. However, because the Sega Genesis Mini sold more in North America and Europe than in Japan, a worldwide release is planned. Due to microchip shortages, however, the stock of the Sega Genesis Mini 2 will be lower than the original Sega Genesis Mini.


''Super Mario Bros. 2'' was also included as one of the 30 games in the [[NES Classic Edition]] miniature video game console, that emulated NES games and resembled a miniature NES, in 2016.  
==Games list==
Fifty games are included in the Sega Drive Mini 2.


It was released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online]] for [[Nintendo Switch]] service on February 13, 2019.

Mega Drive Mini 2.png

The Sega Genesis Mini 2, known as the Sega Mega Drive Mini 2 outside North America, is a miniature video game system by Sega.

It contains fifty built-in games, running on an emulator designed by M2, and is designed to resemble the second model of the Sega Genesis.

Unlike the original Sega Genesis Mini, the Sega Genesis Mini 2 includes Sega CD games in addition to Sega Genesis games.

One six-button controller is included which connects to the console using a USB connection. The video is output through HDMI.

Sound selection

The Sega Genesis has both FM and PSG sound sources. As the sound was different between the two models, there is a choice of playing music and sound effects as they would sound on a model 1 or a model 2.

Development

According to Yosuke Okunari, a creative producer within Sega that also worked on the Sega Genesis Mini and the Game Gear Micro, a miniature Sega Saturn or Dreamcast was considered for Sega's next mini console. However, the cost would be too much due to the microchip shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. That shortage caused the price of the Game Gear Micro to be about one and a half times higher than initially projected, and Sega wanted a mini-console similar in price to the Sega Genesis Mini in order to maximize sales. Sega had access to the board used in the Sega Genesis Mini, however, it would not be powerful enough to run Saturn or Dreamcast games. Thus, a miniature console based on the Sega Genesis model 2 was chosen with a price point only slightly higher than the original Sega Genesis Mini.

The Sega Mega Drive Mini was revealed on June 3, 2022. Sega planned to increase its marketing in Japan and will have most of its sales volume focused on the Japanese market. However, because the Sega Genesis Mini sold more in North America and Europe than in Japan, a worldwide release is planned. Due to microchip shortages, however, the stock of the Sega Genesis Mini 2 will be lower than the original Sega Genesis Mini.
