Ha, I’ve got one for one of the commenters on the linked article.
They’re TURTLES not DUCKS! They have SHELLS for Pete’s sake!

I never knew there was a different minus world in the Japanese version. It looks like we got ripped off in the states. The Japanese one has actual playable levels, 3 of them. And once you finish all 3, it takes you back to the title screen. If Wikipedia is to be believed.

I’ve gotten into the minus world on a US version of SMB. It’s not 3 levels. It’s one. Its a water level and you can’t get out. I have no idea about a Japanese version.
My question about Mario is this, and maybe some can help me?
Why/when did Marios outfit change from the red/orange and brown of SMB to the Red and Blue with White gloves we have today?
As I child I played SMB and he was red and brown, but all the cartoons, even at that time I think had him in red and blue with white gloves.

The U.S. version of SMB 2 had Mario in blue overalls with a red shirt. The box art had the colors reversed and put white gloves on him. That is the earliest reference I could find to the cartoonish Mario you mentioned.
