'''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.
'''Mushroom Kingdom II''' (Japanese: キノコ王国 II, ''Kinoko Ōkoku II'') is an [[unlockable stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It is unlocked by obtaining the [[Birdo (trophy)|Birdo Trophy]]. Luigi is fought when unlocked here, even if the Birdo trophy has not been obtained. It is [[Luigi]]'s home stage, mostly, but [[Mario]] and [[Peach]] are also natives. In [[All-Star]] mode, this stage is played on when the player faces [[Dr. Mario]] and any of his teammates.


==Stage overview==
Contrary to what its name suggests, this stage is derived from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'''s '''Subcon''' area (specifically the version seen in the 16-bit remakes of ''SMB2''), rather than the [[Mushroom Kingdom (location)|Mushroom Kingdom]] itself.  It is made up of 3 sections. There are two upper platforms on either side of the stage and one lower one in the middle. The center platform is actually 2 platforms connected by a log. There is a pit on either side of the middle platform.
[[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.
Logs come from the waterfall and fall into the pit. One can jump on them, but they fall rapidly. On occasion, [[Birdo]] will appear from the side of the screen and lob eggs into the fray. The eggs can be broken and sometimes have items in them. Birdo can be knocked out, but she will come back. [[Pidgit]] will fly over the center on a carpet, which one can jump on.


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.
== Origin ==
This stage is from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. In the ending cut-scene of that game it is revealed that the game took place in Mario's dream. Also, the world that ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' takes place in isn't located in the Mushroom Kingdom, but in Subcon. Despite all this when a player selects this stage it says "Mushroom Kingdom II"; however, when a player unlocks Mushroom Kingdom II the message that comes up says: "Mushroom Kingdom II is open; it's the dream world, Subcon!" In 1986 ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' was released in Japan. This ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' played very close to how ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' played, but the game had a much higher difficulty. Nintendo of America did not like this ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' because it was too difficult and it felt more like a modification to ''Super Mario Bros.'' rather than a sequel. So Nintendo of America looked for alternative game. The game they choose was a Japanese game named ''Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic'' and replaced the characters in the game with Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Peach. Besides the playable characters, almost all the graphics have remained the same as it originally did. So Mushroom Kingdom II is from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', which is built around ''Doki Doki Panic''.


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.
[[File:Area1SMB2.png|thumb|left|200px|A part of World 1-1 as seen in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.]]
The overall design of the features of this stage (the ground, logs, waterfall, etc.) look similar to as they do in ''Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. In 1993 ''Super Mario All-Stars'' was released, which was a compilation of older Mario games at the time with graphical enhancements. Two of the games that were featured was Japan's ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' (renamed ''Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels'') and North America's ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. The graphics used in Mushroom Kingdom II are based on the graphical enhancement in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.


===Ω form and Battlefield form===
This stage is based on the first area of ''Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. In ''Doki Doki Panic'' the player has to jump on falling logs that go down waterfalls. In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' the speed at which the logs go down has been reduced. ''Doki Doki Panic'' also used logs as platforms or bridges that span over gaps. In this stage there are falling logs that go at the same speed as the logs in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' and there are three logs in the center of this stage that is used as a bridge. ''Doki Doki Panic'' also features an enemy named Pidgit that flies around on a carpet. The player has to get the bird-like enemy off of the carpet in order to control the carpet. (The same has to be done in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.) This enemy can be seen flying around on this stage and is used as a moving platform. At the end of many levels in ''Doki Doki Panic'' there would be a boss that would shoot eggs out at the player (later named "Birdo"). Birdo can be seen in this stage shooting eggs at the players.

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===
The music for this stage is the 8-bit song that first appeared in the first level of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' (an extended version of the theme from ''Doki Doki Panic''. In a Super Sudden Death match, or when time is about to be up, the music will change to boss music in ''Doki Doki Panic'' (which is also featured in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lJoF-psWNU]
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 any 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 an 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==
==Trivia==
*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.  
*Birdo shoots either one or three eggs across the stage.  These eggs can be caught aerially, and if thrown at an opponent, do massive damage - Up to 28%. Birdo can also be knocked away with one of its own eggs, just like in the original game.
*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]].
*When caught and held, Birdo's eggs are 2-D and are almost invisible unless the character holding the egg turns around.
**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.
*This is one of the only two stages to change music when time goes under 20 seconds, the other being [[Mushroom: Kingdom|Mushroom Kingdom]].
*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.
