'''''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic''''', translated as '''''Dream Factory: Heart-Pounding Panic''''' and usually referred to as simply '''''Doki Doki Panic''''', is a [[Japan]]- | '''''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic''''', translated as '''''Dream Factory: Heart-Pounding Panic''''' and usually referred to as simply '''''Doki Doki Panic''''', is a [[Japan]]-exclusive video game developed by [[Nintendo]] in cooperation with {{wp|Fuji TV|Fuji Television}} (who also published ''[[All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.]]'') for the [[Family Computer Disk System]] to promote its event called [[#Yume Kōjō '87|Yume Kōjō '87]] (translates to Dream Factory '87). | ||
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 ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' version of ''Doki Doki Panic'' was released in Japan as well, under the title ''Super Mario USA'', with its {{media link|SMUSA FC Box.png|box art}} being a recreation of the ''Doki Doki Panic''{{'}}s, with the ''Yume Kōjō'' characters replaced with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Toad]]. | |||

The game takes place inside a storybook. The book's story tells of the dream world of Muu, where the quality of dreams determines 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.

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. | ||
