Outside of the standard grassland levels, deserts were likewise a heavy part of the Super Mario Bros. 2 experience, a natural fit considering the game pulled heavily from Middle Eastern inspiration. This stage’s inclusion is more of a personal pick of mine, as I liked the idea of a stage set here.
The stage will take place entirely inside of one of the giant vases appearing within the game, with quicksand at the bottom and walls along the side. A Phanto enemy will also appear on the stage’s back wall and will only come to life if anyone picks up the key item that will appear on occasion.
