Most of you probably already know about this, but it's still and interresting read.

Wow, i actually didnt know anything about that. I thought the 'Lost Levels' in the All-star game were ones they didnt include in Mario 1. I had never heard of Doki Doki Panic and the switch. Very cool.

Personally Im actually HAPPY with the Japanese aiming to dumb down a game for us. We got a much better version of Mario 2 imo :p

I knew about the changed from collecting ROMs and reading Game Over, but it's neat to see it visually.
I also liked Mario 2 a lot but I also loved the Lost Levels. They were HARD and a great extension of Mario 2.
BTW, Mario 2 was actually released in Japan as Mario USA

Yeah, I knew about Mario 2 originating from a different game in Japan. I love Mario 2 so I am glad they did what they did.
