Very recently. Those articles were authored by writers for an SEO company whose client was hoping to place a link on our site. I told them the articles must adhere to the same basic standards as our others (retro/some pics/about 700 words, etc.). I didn't tell them they would be "visible" to most of us though.

Whoa, weird. The articles were incredibly generic but well structured. I felt sorry for the guy at first, but now that I know he's just plugging links I'm going to let him have it!!1

I have SO MUCH TROUBLE playing it that it is actually ridiculous. But well... then again, the game wasn't even meant to be a Mario game, so I think that it is excusable.
Super Mario 2 is a great game. Just like Zelda 2. I am tired of people denigrating them. Anyone who calls those games black sheep is a revisionist. At the time, with only two games in each series, these sequels were just as wanted as their predecessors, maybe even more. People were going absolutely insane for them.
1988 was Nintendo at its highest peak of popularity and excitement until Wii Sports. And it was more sustained than that. with much more than just one game, and they had no competition to speak of. Not to mention all the merchandise that sold like crazy. And Mario 2 and Zelda 2 led all of that.
Also, yes we all know the story of Doki Doki Panic...but! It was made from a shelved demo/prototype intended for Mario. This is about the same level of development as when Super Mario 1 had a gun in it. So some may discount this story. But I say Super Mario 2 USA, in it's very earliest stages, was in fact intended to be a Mario game.
