SHOW NOTES
- According to Price Charting,
Super Mario Bros. 2 retains its value
fairly well! The loose cart price is $20, and the box and manual bumps the
price up to $37. New-condition copies go for $293. Super
Mario Advance ranges from $9.50 to $41.50, since it’s much newer.
- The full Minibosses Super Mario Bros. 2 medley can be found here
on YouTube.
- Chris Kohler of Wired has a good long read from 2011 on the secret history of
the game.
