Those first two paragraphs of the origin section are completely irrelevant and superfluous. We just need to know where the stage and its elements came from, we don't need the whole deal with SMB2 being explained

In 1986, ''[[supermariowiki:Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels|Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (known as ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' outside of Japan) was released in Japan. However, it was never initially released outside of Japan due to Nintendo of America's dislike of the game's difficulty and similarity to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' rather than being a true sequel. Rather than risking the popularity of the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario'' series]], Nintendo decided to look for an alternative game. The game that was ultimately chosen was the Japanese game ''Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic''. Nintendo replaced the playable characters in ''Doki Doki Panic'' with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Peach]], and [[Toad]], and released the game as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' for the NES outside of Japan. Other than the playable characters, the two games are almost identical.

This stage is based around the ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' that was built around ''Doki Doki Panic''. In the ending cut-scene it is revealed that the entire game took place in a dream Mario had. Also, the world that ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' takes place in is not Mushroom Kingdom, but instead Subcon. Despite these differences the stage is called "Mushroom Kingdom II". However, the message that pops up when unlocking the stage says,"Mushroom Kingdom II is open; it's the dream world, Subcon!"

The majority of Mushroom Kingdom II is based around World 1-1 of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. In World 1-1, there is a point where the player must jump on logs in order to complete the level. The logs in ''Melee'' also can be used as platforms as they go down the waterfall. Mushroom Kingdom II also features two enemies that appeared in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'': [[Pidgit]] and [[Birdo]]. A Pidget is a small bird that controls a magic carpet and tries to attack the player. The player can defeat Pidgets just by simply jumping on it and throwing it off the carpet, which the player can now control. A Birdo is a boss that appears in the last level of every World. Its main method of attack is to shoot eggs at the player.
