BS Super Mario USA is a remake of Super Mario Bros. 2 for the Bandai Satellaview, an add-on for the SNES. The Satellaview was only released in Japan, so this is a Japan-only game. The Bandai Satellaview could download games wirelessly, usually released in installments. This game was released, one world at a time

BS Super Mario USA's graphics are the same as Super Mario Bros. 2 in Super Mario All-Stars. This game is called BS Super Mario USA because Super Mario USA is the Japanese name for Super Mario Bros. 2.

Unlike BS Super Mario Collection, a reamake of Super Mario Bros. 3, this game has the same levels as the original.

[edit] Differences/Additions

  • Mario is the only playable character.
  • An interesting new feature is the addition Mario Statues. Picking up one of these gives Mario an extra life and fills his life meter. There are three of these in each level, plus one obtainable from the end-of-the-world boss. They are usually out in the open, but sometimes are hidden in Subspace. Levels can be played over again in order to obtain all of the statues. It is unknown whether there is a reward for collecting them all.
  • Coins were added to levels.
  • The "Today's Results Screen" temporarily records the Mushrooms, Cherries, Coins, Mario Statues, defeated bosses, and current level.
  • A points system was added. Points can be gained, among other things, by defeating enemies in various ways.
  • An icon of Princess Peach appears on screen at certain points in the game. It is unknown why.
