Super Mario Bros. 2 by Jon Irwin
3.0
This was my first foray into the Boss Fight Books series, which is essentially 33 1/3 for video games, and this one takes an in-depth look into Super Mario Bros. 2, the dream one with Wart and such.
The book is pretty solid with where it's going with things, although the overall tale isn't going to offer much of anything new to people who already know the winding story of how this game came to be on a whole. Still, if you're not someone who is well-read regarding the game development, or if you are and see some value in a refresher that has some interesting design and localization information as well, it's a decent read.
