Super Mario Bros. 2: The Legend of the Warp Zone

Super Mario Bros. 2: The Legend of the Warp Zone is the sequel to Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. for the Atari-Nintendo Video Advanced System. Released in 1989, this take on SMB2 is different from reality's Lost Levels and SMB2USA/Doki Doki Panic. The gameplay is more akin to OTL's Super Mario Bros. 3 with a bit of DDP mixed in.

Story/Title Screen Intro:
Once upon a time, the evil Koopa King Bowser kidnapped Princess Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom, but two plumber brothers by the names of Mario Mario and Luigi Mario stopped his conquest and saved the princess. However, a new chapter in this epic tale is about to begin...

One day at the Mushroom Kingdom, something strange has happened there, and it is not the princess being kidnapped by someone else this time. Instead, Warp Pipes were going out of control, with new ones sprouting out of nowhere and some rerouting to wrong destinations. Apparently, other kingdoms have pipe problems too. The council realized it has something to do with the mysterious Warp Zone. Now, the Warp Zone is a very special place, especially for warping through locations. The Mario Bros., Mario and Luigi, used it to skip certain worlds in their previous adventure. But this time, it was taken over by a familiar menace.

The thought-to-be-gone Bowser is behind this! With the help of the mysterious mastermind of the Koopa Troop, he tinkered with the Warp Zone and used it to send his army across other kingdoms! Mario has no idea on what to do, but he knew that he has to stop them! He and Luigi learned from Princess Toadstool that they have to find the seven Warp Wands which are now in the hands of seven different dark guardians, who used the wands to transform the rulers of the lands into animals and feeble creatures, rendering them unable to fight. If all else fails, who knows what will happen to the Warp Zone. It'll most likely be destroyed along with other kingdoms including the Mushroom Kingdom!

Now get ready! Mario and Luigi are about to begin a new adventure. Joining them is Princess Toadstool and a scared, but just-hearted Toad in their quest. to bring the Warp Zone back to normal and stop the Koopa Troop. Three Questions remain. Who are the dark guardians? Is Bowser actually the true king of the Koopa Troop? And who is the true mastermind behind the Troop itself? Find out as the story unfolds. Meanwhile, Prince Haru of the Flower Kingdom follows them in secret out of vengeance to Mario for stealing his "love" away from him and anger to the others.
