Although
Super Mario Brothers 2 is one of the most popular games for the Nintendo Entertainment System, there are still a lot of secrets waiting to be uncovered! For example, did you know the Living Cactus in desert levels such as World 2-1 have a terrible secret form? Follow the screenshots and instructions below to master this new foe...
Step 1: Find a Living Cactus in one of the desert levels. Watch out for the Hissers! They pack a powerful punch. Guide Super Mario away from their projectiles.
Step 2: Jump on top of the head of the Living Cactus.
Important: Note his smiling face. Super Mario wears thick plumbing boots, so the dangerous spikes on the cacti (living or otherwise) can't hurt his feet. Use the 'B' key to pick up the Living Cactus's head. Super Mario also wears thick work gloves, so the spikes also can't hurt his hands.
Step 3: The terrifying change has already taken place! The Living Cactus's once smiling visage has been replaced with a brooding brow and sharp, poisonous teeth. How will you challenge this new foe? Write in and tell us!
