'''Mushroom Kingdom II''' ({{ja|いにしえの王国II|Inishie no Ōkoku II}}, ''Ancient Kingdom II'') is an [[unlockable stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and a starter stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''; in ''Ultimate'', its Japanese name has been changed to {{ja|いにしえの王国 USA|Inishie no Ōkoku USA}} (''Ancient Kingdom USA''), to better reflect the Japanese title of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''Super Mario USA''.

In ''Melee'', Luigi is fought here for his [[unlock]]ing battle, even if this stage itself is not unlocked yet. However, if the player has not yet obtained the [[Birdo]] [[trophy]], they do not unlock the stage. In [[All-Star]] mode, this is where the player faces [[Dr. Mario]] and any of his teammates.

==Stage overview==
[[File:MushroomKingdom2-Birdo.png|200px|thumb|left|Birdo shooting an egg in ''Melee''.]]
The stage has three hard platforms, all of which reach the bottom [[blast line]]: two at the sides, and a lower one in the middle (which is actually made up of two pieces of ground connected by a log).

Logs continuously come down from the waterfall in the background, acting as temporary platforms that quickly fall down into the two pits on the sides of the center platform. These logs are completely solid and cannot be passed through so getting caught beneath one once it has entered either pit is a guaranteed KO.

Occasionally, [[Birdo]] appears from either side of the screen and shoots [[egg]]s, either one or three. These eggs can be attacked, knocking them off, or caught aerially: if thrown at an opponent they deal massive damage and knockback, up to 28%. After being caught and thrown the eggs can be broken, and sometimes contain [[item]]s. Birdo is susceptible to attacks, and if damaged enough she retreats, or can even be knocked off the stage. Sometimes [[Pidgit]]s will fly erratically over the middle part on a carpet, which can be jumped on.

Oddly, in ''Melee'', [[Star KO]]'d characters will [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU0p2IpoV1A fade before turning into a star.] Star KOs cannot occur at all in ''Ultimate'', as with most other stages with 2D backdrops.

===Ω form and Battlefield form===
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] are set in the air in front of a waterfall, and the main platform is based on the grassy soil of the regular form. The main platform also does not extend below the [[blast line]] and is resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}}. [[Walk-off]]s are removed and Birdos, Pidgits, and logs do not interfere with the stage. The design of the three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form are based on logs of the regular form.

===Hazards Off===
With stage hazards off, Birdo and Pidgits do not appear at all.

==Origin==
[[File:Area1SMB2.png|thumb|left|A portion of {{iw|mariowiki|World 1-1|Super Mario Bros. 2}}, as seen in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.]]
Contrary to this stage's name, it is not based on location in the {{b|Mushroom Kingdom|location}}. This stage is based on the overworld sections of {{iw|mariowiki|World 1|Super Mario Bros. 2}} in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', with its graphical style based on the SNES port of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' included in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario All-Stars}}'' instead of the original NES version.

In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Toad]] enter the dream world of {{s|mariowiki|Subcon}}, which was taken over by the game's main villain, {{iw|mariowiki|Wart}}. The door they entered through leads to the game's [[mariowiki: World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|first level]], which takes place on a grassy terrain. World 1-1 features waterfalls with logs flowing over, which act as temporary platforms; {{s|mariowiki|beanstalk}}s, which functions similarly as ladders; and {{s|mariowiki|jar}}s, which functions similarly to the {{uv|Mario}} series' [[Warp Pipe]]s. The players can pluck tufts of [[grass]], which can spawn and item when pulled from the ground, and collect five [[mariowiki:Cherry|cherries]] in each level, which will spawn a [[Super Star]].

{{s|mariowiki|Pidgit}}s are small bird enemies that ride on flying magic carpets in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', first appearing in {{iw|mariowiki|World 1-2|Super Mario Bros. 2}}. Pidgits attack by swooping down at the player on their magic carpets. When they are defeated, their carpets can be ridden and controlled by the player, though these vanish after a short while.

{{s|mariowiki|Birdo}}s first appear in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' as the game's recurring mid-bosses, first appearing in World 1-1, but has later appeared as an ally in spin-off ''Mario'' titles since. The pink Birdos attack by spitting eggs from their nozzles, which can be picked up and thrown back to defeat them.

This stage features multiple elements from the overworld levels in World 1 in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', albeit with some visual differences between their appearances in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Ultimate''. The 16-bit sprites used in this stage (e.g. the Pidgit's magic carpet, the logs, etc.) in ''Melee'' are enhanced to use their original 16-bit sprites from  ''Super Mario All-Stars''. The grassy platforms, a single jar, two beanstalks, and five cherries appear as background elements, while the grass appears as a foreground element on the stage, though they cannot be interacted with.

==Tournament legality==
For several reasons, this stage is banned in competitive play. The stage is commonly seen as too small to hold a proper competitive battle on, and Birdo's appearances are random and overly disruptive to the matches. The walk-off blast lines can additionally result in quick, easy KOs, and the lack of a proper "central" platform serves as a hindrance, particularly in doubles matches.

==Trivia==
*In [[Melee]], while most of the game's [[unlockable character]]s either take place on a starter stage or a stage from [[Special Stage]]s, this is one of the two non starter, {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} universe, or [[Past Stage]] to take place while unlocking an unlockable character (that being {{SSBM|Luigi}}). The other is [[Flat Zone]] which is the stage for unlocking {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}.   
*When using [[End of Day]] on this stage in ''Ultimate'', the camera pans unusually high upward, revealing the edge of the skybox, and making it virtually impossible to jump out of the range of the [[Red Bulborb]]s. 
*This is one of the five stages in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to change music when the [[Match timer|timer]] reaches 30 seconds (20 seconds in ''Melee'') and during [[Sudden Death]], the others are [[Mushroom Kingdom (SSB)]], [[Mushroom Kingdom (SSBM)]], [[Suzaku Castle]] (if the music played is any type of one of the sixteen playable characters in ''Street Fighter II'' and ''Super Street Fighter II'') and [[Moray Towers]].
**Mushroom Kingdom II is the only one of these stages where the music used for this Easter egg is not set as the default track.
*Mushroom Kingdom II and Mushroom Kingdom are the only two stages in ''Melee'' to share an alternate music track: ''Dr. Mario''. They are also the only two stages in ''Melee'' to lack a [[stage prefix]].
*When a new file is started in ''Melee'', the player automatically receives one random trophy among those immediately obtainable in the [[lottery]]. Since the Birdo trophy is one of them, it is possible for the Mushroom Kingdom II stage to be immediately unlocked upon starting a new file, with the corresponding unlock message being received right when the game starts up.
*The [[Moon]] cannot be summoned from an [[Assist Trophy]] on this stage. Additionally, [[Lunala]] cannot be summoned from a [[Poké Ball]].
**[[Color TV-Game 15]] and [[Abra]] can only be summoned on the Battlefield and Omega forms of this stage.
