Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, (スーパーマリオブラザーズ2 Sūpā Mario Burazāzu Tsū), is a platforming video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Family Computer Disk System. Bowser has abducted Princess Toadstool (Peach) and is holding her captive in one of his castles. Either Mario or Luigi must navigate through the Mushroom Kingdom, overcome Bowser's henchmen, and rescue the Princess. The game uses the same game engine as its predecessor and is quite similar in visual style. It is intended to challenge players who have mastered the original Super Mario Bros..


NES Global Problems

[edit]

Problems that may occur with any NES title on Dolphin are listed below.

DirectX with NES Games

Most NES games suffer strange graphical issues when using the DirectX backend with some graphics drivers; notably NVIDIA. This is a driver bug.

As of 5.0-4869, the D3D driver bugs can be worked around by setting Ubershaders to Exclusive/Synchronous (Ubershaders). It's unknown what exactly is going on with the driver that's causing Exclusive Ubershaders/Synchronous (Ubershaders) to work properly.

This seems to have been rectified at some point, though it's unclear what resolved it.

Problems

  • Starts but not visible/almost digitized like.
  • Not playable.

Configuration

This title does not need non-default settings to run properly.
