      It is, but it doesn’t play like a Super Mario Bros. game at all. They just got away with it because the series was still new.

          It wasn’t totally outrageous though. Zelda did it. I think there might be more, but I’m old and this is reaching way back in the memory banks.

            We used to compare Zelda II, SMB 2, and Castlevania II for all taking weird swings before swerving back for their third entries.
