GNGOAT Round 2, Match 11

ROUND TWO, MATCH ELEVEN

Super Mario Bros 2 (NES)

Round 1: defeated Pokemon Black & White 2

Super Mario Bros. 2, released in Japan as Super Mario USA is a 1988 platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game that became Super Mario Bros. 2 started out as a prototype for a vertically scrolling, two-player, cooperative action game, but later was re-branded into Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, a Family Computer Disk System game. The game became a commercial success, and eventually, the game became well received enough that it was also released in Japan for the Family Computer itself as Super Mario USA.

VERSUS

TMNT: Turtles In Time (SNES)

Round 1: defeated F-Zero X

Much like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game for the NES (a conversion of the first arcade game), the SNES version of Turtles in Time is not a direct port of the arcade original. It had some notable differences in presentation. The SNES version also features a time-trial mode and a two-player versus fight mode. The SNES version was praised for its additional stages and gameplay modes. Like the arcade version, the SNES game has been lauded for its visuals, which replicate the cartoon's art style. The game's music and sound effects have also been praised. However, the game has been criticized for its repetitive gameplay and short length.
