Pulling a Mario 2 

Verb: Refers to the act of media publishers (specifically video game designers) altering a work slightly, typically through character, in order to make it more suitable for foreign audiences, or to cash in on an unrelated franchise.

The phrase is a reference to Nintendo's rerelease of the Japanese NES game "Doki Doki Panic" with Mario characters as "Super Mario bros. 2" in America; substituted because, supposedly, American distributors believed the Japanese version was too difficult, and too similar to the first Mario NES title.

Also known as "Pulling a Doki Doki Panic" or "Lost Leveling"
When sequels to foreign films that were previously unreleased in America are brought there, a common cop out to the missing original is Pulling a Mario 2 on the sequel, and marketing it as the orignal.

Super Mario Sunshine 2 

The video game that all early 2000s kids who owned a Gamecube hope will be made someday.
I really want them to make Super Mario Sunshine 2, the original was my favorite game back in the day...

Super Mario Maker 2 

A Nintendo Switch game where you create your own levels and share them with friends.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 

The squeal to Super Mario Galaxy.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is MUCH better than the first because they added Yoshi (yay) and Yoshi power-ups. There's a "Fat Albert ass load" of really awesome/challenging levels/bonuses. (The first game was hardly challenging at all.)

For everyone who pwned Bowser in Super Mario Galaxy 1 and thinks they do it in Super Mario Galaxy 2... Bowser is harder, so expect to lose a few lives. The final galaxy (Bowser's Galaxy Generator) is a great challenge, too.

HINTS: 1--Secret Mushroom: When you start Bowser's Galaxy Generator, you will see a path that goes to the left. Climb up the pole at the end of the path and you will see a the red mushroom with the yellow star. (Increases your life to 6.)
2--Super Ground Pound: Jump, spin, and while spinning, do a ground pound.

Kid1 & Kid2: *goes so crazy their heads explode*
