It was my first game console ever. I played it for 10 hours a week.
It worked fine for 6 long years. Even after accidentally dropping it from 5 feet above the ground, spilling orange juice and water, and sitting on it. It was very durable.

"Doki Doki Panic" was the original version of that game, without the Mario characters, but the "Super Mario Bros.2"-variant was also released in Japan later on, under the title "Super Mario USA".

no because the original japanese super mario bros 2 is different from the usa release which is a reskinned doki doki panic
the original japanese smb 2 is more or less an expansion pack of smb 1
looks the same plays the same but is a lot lot harder
buy it anyway as a cool novelty gadget console

personally i like the doki doki reskin better
i dont really care much for platformers at all

smb 2 jap played it too save

Actually, they did release the Mario version (with all the changes made) as Super Mario USA there. In fact, it even appeared in the Japanese version of Super Mario All Stars (under the same title), while the Lost Levels were simply Super Mario Bros. 2 in that collection.
Too bad the Famicom Mini doesn't have the Japanese SMB2; I happen to really like that game (though I think I prefer the All-Stars version which doesn't punish you as much if you game over).

BTW, for Amazon customers, it seems like the pre-orders will be limited to one unit per customer/adress:

In the original version, I don't remember if you needed a code to continue (like in SMB1), but you would start at the first level of the world (so, if it happens in 8-4, you're back to 8-1). Plus, to my understanding, if this happens, World 9 becomes inaccessible on this playthrough.
In the All-Stars version, you can continue from the same level you game overed on (so, if it happens in 8-4, you get to start right at 8-4), and (assuming you haven't used any warps) you can still access World 9.
On the other hand, World 9 looks much more interesting in the original version; it even has some text that was omitted in the All-Stars version.
