It was later released outside of Japan in an altered format under the name ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', since the original Japanese ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' sequel, ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', was deemed too similar to the original and too difficult for overseas players. Eventually, the altered ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' version of ''Doki Doki Panic'' was released in Japan as well, under the title ''Super Mario USA''. | It was later released outside of Japan in an altered format under the name ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', since the original Japanese ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' sequel, ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', was deemed too similar to the original and too difficult for overseas players.

The game takes place inside a storybook. The book's story tells of the dream world of Muu, where the quality of dreams determined the quality of the weather the next day. Because of this, the Muu citizens invented a [[Dream Machine|dream machine]] so they could always have good dreams. One day, a mischievous being named [[Wart|Mamu]] (whose name was changed to Wart for ''Super Mario Bros. 2'') invaded the land and used the dream machine to make nightmarish monsters. However, the Muu people learned of his weakness to vegetables and used them to defeat him. | The game takes place inside a storybook.

The ''Doki Doki Panic'' engine started as a ''Mario''-style tech demo using vertical-scrolling mechanics as opposed to side-scrolling mechanics.<ref>Kohler, Chris (April 1, 2011).

Retrieved July 25, 2015.</ref> [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] suggested the inclusion of side-scrolling mechanics to make it more of a ''Mario'' concept. Nintendo entered a licensing deal with Fuji Television, and the game's development proceeded with ''Yume Kōjō'' characters. Shigeru Miyamoto, as a result, was more involved with the development of ''Doki Doki Panic'' than he was in what eventually became the [[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels|original ''Super Mario Bros. 2'']]. Many of the game's enemies have become generic ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' enemies, though many were not intended to be that at the time of their creation. This includes [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]]s, [[Birdo]]s, [[Pokey]]s, [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]]s, and numerous others. Of particular note is how [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s skills and attacks have been shaped by the skills of the characters they replaced. | The ''Doki Doki Panic'' engine started as a ''Mario''-style tech demo using vertical-scrolling mechanics as opposed to side-scrolling mechanics.<ref>Kohler, Chris (April 1, 2011).

Some ''Mario'' elements had already been in place prior to the overhaul for America - both [[POW Block|POW]]s (from ''[[Mario Bros.
