Super Mario Bros. 2

Milestone:

This week I beat Super Mario Bros. 2 in one sitting, no warps, getting all the mushrooms, with no strategy guide, and swapping out characters every world (ending up with 5 worlds for Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Peach).

Seeing as how Mario 2 is the last of the NES Mario games I ever finished, and even then I used many warps and shortcuts, this is a feat for me. Mario 2 is a strange bird. It was so different from Super Mario Bros., I think without it we wouldn't have the variety of Mario games we have now. Without Super Mario Bros. 2 we would not have Mario Kart.
