As in the other Eggerland/Lolo games, Lolo must transverse a series of rooms in a castle, solving puzzles by moving blocks and interacting with enemies to advance to the next room. While the game includes some features missing from the later American/European Lolo games--including the multiple room exits that lend themselves to a maze-like level structure, hidden exits, and more--the core gameplay should be very familiar to anybody who's played the later NES classics.

Show all screenshots In this North American sequel to the classic Super Mario Bros., Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Peach venture across twenty levels of the magical kingdom of Sub-Con to rescue its kidnapped inhabitants and defeat the evil usurper king Wart. SMB2 (originally an unrelated Famicom Disk System game titled Doki Doki Panic in Japan but retooled as a Mario game for its US release) was the first American game to establish that Luigi has a higher jump than his brother and that Peach can float using her dress, both of which would become defining characteristics in later titles. It also introduced a whole new cast of enemies to the Mario universe, including now-regulars like Shyguys, Bob-ombs, and Birdo.
