Doki Doki Panic is the "Super Mario Bros 2" of Japan. Well it really isn't because Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels was only released in Japan and it was a harder version of the original with new mechanics but was considered too hard. Instead we got Doki Doki Panic or Super Mario Bros 2 in the US. Japan also got Doki Doki Panic but that had nothing to do with Mario in Japan. Mamu troubles dreams with the dream machine that gives good dreams and made it into a nightmare machine and its up to Imajin, Papa, Lina, and Mama. They are trying to save children in the land of having bad dreams. The game is almost identical to Super Mario Bros 2 in the U.S as most the mechanics are the same as bosses have the same weaknesses, enemies are the same, and even the layout was the same. All they did for us was to change the characters names and the story, its as simple as that. Now the game is pretty good just like the U.S version but we aren't talking about that. Many of Mario's iconic enemies are from this game like Birdo, Shy Guy, Sniffit, and so much more characters we know and love came from this game. It is a bit of a shame though because calling it something else besides Super Mario Bros 2 would probably sell well with the crowd. But nevertheless it is more of the same.

This is a good summary of what the game is like! If you do another game review in the future, talk about your opinions on various aspects of the game like the graphics, sound, and more. Also, explain why you gave each category a certain rating. Reviews are typically all about opinions and it would be cool to hear your opinions on video games you've played

As for the game itself, I never played this but I have played the USA Super Mario Bros. 2. Every time I think about it, I can't believe that USA SMB2 is literally a slightly edited version of this game. That makes it harder for me to want to play it
