History VideoGame / DokiDokiPanic

''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' (literally ''"Dream Factory: Heart-Pounding Panic"'') is a platform game made by Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto in 1987 for the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem Family Computer Disk System]]. It [[https://www.wired.com/2011/04/super-mario-bros-2/ started development]] as a ''Mario''-style tech demo by Miyamoto and company, and was [[DolledUpInstallment dolled-up]] as ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' after its initial release.

* [[FakeLongevity The game must be completed with all four characters in order to see the true ending.]][[note]](Which, intentionally or not, was given a CallBack of sorts in ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' where every stage - except the Captain Toad stages - had to be completed with every character in order to get all five profile stars, and ultimately, all of the [[UsefulNotes/WiiU Miiverse]] stamps.)[[/note]]

* ActionGirl: Lina was every bit as gung-ho and heroic as her boyfriend, and had the same play style as Peach from the ''[=SMB2=] '' version.

* BareYourMidriff: Lina in her sprites, though not in artwork.

Not to be confused with ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' along with ''WesternAnimation/{{Doki}}'', ''Manga/DokiDokiSchoolHours'', ''Anime/DokiDokiPrecure'', or ''VideoGame/DokiDokiUniverse''.

* The turtle shell was originally "Big Face", which appears to be a {{Blackface}} ShrunkenHead.

* {{Blackface}}: Big Face, which became the turtle shell (presumably of a red Koopa Troopa). Apparently intended as a ShrunkenHead.

* ShoutOut: Before it became part of the ''Mario'' franchise proper, it already had the POW block from the original ''VideoGame/MarioBros'', plus the star from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1''.[[note]]Contrary to popular belief, "Coins" were known as "Medals" in ''DDP'', making it a deliberate change in ''[=SMB2=]''[[/note]] The electric Sparks made their first appearance in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongJr'' It's possible that these items were leftover from when ''Doki Doki Panic'' was closer to a ''Mario'' title in development.

* The tufts of grass were black. They're red in ''[=SMB2=]'', but when you pull out a vegetable, it still has black leaves in the original Famicom version.

* Bombs that went off went "BOM"[[note]](A typical comic book sound effect that appears in Japanese manga when there's an explosion)[[/note]] instead of "BOMB" like in ''[=SMB2=]''.
