In later Super Mario Bros games (like SMB3).

SMB2 (in the US, which was really just an altered version of a Japanese
game called "Doki Doki Panic"), the enemies were quite different.
You could jump on most of them, and stand there riding them.  You could
then grab them, and pull them up over your head and carry them around.
Throw them to smack other enemies.

I'd like to do a SMB2 (Doki Doki) game one day, but it's a much different
style from SMB1 and SMB3 (and the 'real' SMB2 in Japan).  It was much more
of a slow, wandering around game.  You could (and sometimes had to) go
backwards.  There was no clock and no score, even!
