History Trivia / DokiDokiPanic

* NoExportForYou: Miyamoto never intended to release the game overseas in its original form. It only saw the light of day as ''[=SMB2=]''.

** The original ''Mario''-style [[http://www.wired.com/2011/04/super-mario-bros-2/ prototype]] demonstrated the vertical scrolling as in the final game, but also emphasized simultaneous two-player co-op. With Fuji TV's approval encouraging the greenlight, the game was made into a single-player experience, and the lifting and throwing mechanic meant to be done to other player was applied to other situations to make the gameplay more interesting to develop. This was not re-envisioned for the ''Mario'' series until the multiplayer versus mode of the GBA version of ''VideoGame/MarioBros'' (which used ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 Super Mario Bros. 2's]]'' mechanics).

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Since Fuji Television holds the rights to the characters, it could be a long time before the game sees an unaltered re-release. It being the basis of the much more popular ''[=SMB2=]'' doesn't help things either. The game was mentioned in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' by omitting the ''Yume Kōjō'' trademark from the game's title, but that's about all we'll get.

*** Actually, the first instance of picking up other players was in the multiplayer versus mode of the GBA version of ''VideoGame/MarioBros'' (which used ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 Super Mario Bros. 2's]]'' mechanics), where the player picked up would flip upside down like an enemy would, rather than standing right-side up.
