Super Mario Bros. 2 was developed and published by Nintendo for the Famicom Disk System in 1986. The game was famously kept away from international audiences for many years due to Nintendo feeling that the game was not much of an improvement over the first game and too difficult for general audiences. The game eventually left Japan in 1993 as Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels, debuting in the compilation title Super Mario All Stars.
