* Peach is playable for the first time, and she struggles with doing the basic things the other characters don't like picking things up and running. Turns out a Princess who hasn't had much opportunity to do menial labor would have a harder time, and being in [[ErmineCapeEffect her royal ensemble]] (crown, poofy dress, heels) means she certainly isn't ''dressed'' for the occasion, either.

Has more to do with fan reception than anything in the game itself

* Detractors are quick to bash the game and rave about how much it "sucks" because "It's just ''VideoGame/DokiDokiPanic'' with Mario characters!" and then lionize the [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels Japanese version]] as the '''TRUE''' sequel... Even though that's "just" [=SMB1=] with loads of FakeDifficulty, so by their own argument it should be just as terrible a game.

* ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' is notable for being the only main Mario platformer where the [[GoombaStomp Goomba Stomp]] proves to have no significant effect. The events of the game take place in Sub-Con, a world corrupted by nightmares. Being in a world where Mario's [[GoombaStomp trademark attack]] does not hurt enemies makes this more of a nightmare for him, would it not?
* [[DistressedDamsel Peach]] and [[NonActionGuy Toad]] aren't just playable (for once), but they actually excel at things (Toad's speed/strength, Peach's flight). What's more, [[CowardlySidekick Luigi]] is one of the best characters to use due to his high jump. Now, remember that the game takes place in a dream world. You know what this means? Mario, who usually works alone, secretly dreams of getting some decent backup.
