No, there was. It was essentially a hard romhack of SMB1. So hard, in fact, that NoA would rather reskin an unrelated game to be their Mario 2 than try and sell it.
It got released in the west a decade later as The Lost Levels, as part of the All-Stars collection.
That's not the actual title screen, but I looked it up to see what it was from. >SMB1 hack with SMB2's levels and new graphics
That seems redundant given that they're in the same engine.

Fun fact: That file is 43 mb when the orinional mario bros 2 is not
Yeah >Super Mario Bros. 2 came about after Nintendo of America deemed Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels too difficult for Western audiences,[10] which led Nintendo to redevelop the Family Computer Disk System game Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic into a Super Mario Bros

What the frick? > One of the central game mechanics that differentiates Super Mario Bros. 2 from other Super Mario games is that players can select four characters – Mario, Luigi, Toad, or Princess Toadstool – and each of these characters have their unique gameplay mechanics, offering advantages and disadvantages in their stats. Another distinction is that players cannot defeat enemies by stomping on them: players need to either toss items at enemies or pick up and toss enemies at each other to defeat them.

What a lot of people never bring up is that Doki Doki Panic was planned to be a Mario game before they got the deal to use those mascots.
Nintendo and most of Japan seem to consider our version the real SMB2
They are wearing a mask to hide their face. I don't think there's much more to them. I guess the mask is a theatre mask, might be some subtext about putting about appearances.
Inb4 AKHSUALLY 500 pages about japanese theater and honorifics.
Basically, because they are both shy. I theorize that some boos hate that they look away from Mario and Luigi, but wearing a mask helps them with their anxiety. They wear a mask, they can charge straight at their foes. It's also why I think Luigi was shocked to see Shy Guy's true face. Like I said, it's dumb
Guys who are shy
literally me
Shy Guys used to be based enemy types in the 2000s but then the mentally ill pedophile minus8 ruined them with his Shy Gal autism like
I think she's cute
its too bad youre so easily discouraged. one wonders what the frick youre doing on a website like this.
god i wish i could wear a full face mask IRL and get away with it so i can hide my hideous visage
I too fear the Demasking Police who stymie any attempts by people to wear full face masks in public places
I mean you could but it'd probably get in the way of a lot of things like eating
incels
Recycled enemies from an unrelated game which was reskinned into Mario and shipped out so Japan could provide something to the American market
Was it really?
Mario 2 US is a reskinned doki doki panic, it's even where Luigi being so floaty came from.
First time I’ve heard of this. So there was no Mario 2 in Japan?
No, there was. It was essentially a hard romhack of SMB1. So hard, in fact, that NoA would rather reskin an unrelated game to be their Mario 2 than try and sell it.

I have a dumb autistic headcanon that they are actually boos
How does that work?
Basically, because they are both shy. I theorize that some boos hate that they look away from Mario and Luigi, but wearing a mask helps them with their anxiety. They wear a mask, they can charge straight at their foes. It's also why I think Luigi was shocked to see Shy Guy's true face. Like I said, it's dumb
Never really played any of the sport games
Pretty cool having someone see the shyguy without the mask
Based
on?
