TFA blurb review
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels is a 1986 side-scrolling platform game developed as a sequel for players who had mastered Nintendo's 1985 bestseller Super Mario Bros. Directed by the original game's assistant director, Takashi Tezuka, the sequel is similar in style and gameplay, apart from a steep increase in difficulty. Akin to the original, Mario or Luigi venture to rescue the Princess from Bowser. First released as Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan, the game was a Famicom Disk System top seller. Its North America release, as The Lost Levels, was in the 1993 Super Nintendo Entertainment System compilation Super Mario All-Stars. Nintendo later ported the game to multiple handheld and modern consoles. Reviewers viewed The Lost Levels as an extension of the original release. The sequel is remembered among the most difficult games by Nintendo and in the video game medium.

Czar (and anyone else interested): thoughts and edits are welcome. There's no rush; this hasn't been scheduled at TFA yet. This batch finishes up blurbs for FACs promoted in 2017. - Dank (push to talk) 03:15, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
