Description
Tied For Highest Graded First Production Copy
Super Mario Bros. 2 - Wata 9.8 A+ Sealed [Rev-A, Round SOQ,
First Production], NES Nintendo 1988 USA. This exemplary first
production copy of Super Mario Bros. 2 is a prized
collectible, tied with one other example for the highest graded of
this sought-after variant on Wata's December 2023 population
report. Originally launched in 1988, Super Mario Bros. 2
shook the gaming world with its daring departure from its
predecessor's mechanics. Despite the initial astonishment, players
soon fell for the game's cute graphics, excellent gameplay,
profound depth, and engaging sounds. In time, fans would learn that
the Japanese version of the game was considered to be too difficult
for Americans, so an easier Famicom game, Yume Kojo: Doki Doki
Panic, was modified for the US to be sold as Super Mario
Bros 2. Internationally, the Japanese version of Super Mario
Bros. 2 was released as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost
Levels, first in 1993 for the Super NES as part of Super
Mario All-Stars. Beyond history, the ability to navigate the
terrain as Mario, Luigi, Toad, or the Princess - a vital quartet in
the recent Super Mario Bros. Movie - infuses the game with a
delightful versatility.View the certification for Wata Certification ID 600999-001 , including grader's notes if available.
