«©NCSX» Mario and Luigi return to their platform hopping ways in SMB2 from 1986. Upon starting the game, a winged koopa troopa bounds towards our hero of choice. Hop once to knock it to the ground and again, to down the newly grounded creature. Venture further and meet more troopas, piranha plants and squat goombas on the prowl. When playing a classic such as SMB2, one forgets that Mario and Luigi did not have as many skills as their modern day counterparts. For example, after hitting a troopa, the shell cannot be grabbed and hurled. No, the slightest touch sends the shell hurtling into a nearby pipe, where it ricochets right back at our hero... Any lack of attention and/or dexterity results in quick loss of life.
