5 Super Mario Bros. Facts That Change Everything
#1 The Original Super Mario Bros. 2 Wasn’t What You Played
The original Super Mario Bros. 2 (“The Lost Levels” in the U.S.) was the sequel to the original game. But it was only released in Japan due to Developers thinking it was too difficult to be enjoyed by Americans.
Instead, they inserted Mario Bros. characters into a Japanese game called Doki Doki Panic, which became Super Mario Bros. 2.
#2 The Mushroom Power-Ups Act Like That in Real Life
The mushroom power-ups Mario eats are based off of the Amanita muscaria. These are hallucinogenic mushrooms that distort the size of perceived objects.
#3 You’ve Been Killing People for Coins and Pleasure
According to the Super Mario Bros. instruction book, when the Koopas invaded the Mushroom Kingdom, they turned its people into the blocks you see through all the levels.
Maybe next time you’ll think twice before mindlessly smashing every block you see.
#4 Mario’s Good Looks are Due to Technological Limitations

#5 Luigi is the Non-Communist Mario … Kind Of
