About.com explores what elements really belong to Mario and what belong to Doki Doki Panic from which the former franchise is heavily influenced starting with Super Mario Bros. 2. From the article: "Nintendo had decided the actual Mario 2 was too difficult for an overseas release and pulled the title and modified Doki Doki instead. In order to make Doki Doki Panic Mario-like, they made some small changes, upgraded the character graphics, and sent "Mario 2" onto the market."
