Yume Koujou: Doki-doki Panic

Yume Koujou: Doki-doki Panic

While two children, Poke and Piki, are reading a story, a monstrous hand suddenly emerges from within the pages and abducts them. When the rest of the Dream Factory family hears their cries for help, they jump into the story and help save them from the evil Wart. The game was released as part of the Yume Koujou '87 event (sometimes called Dream Machine in English), which was sponsored by Fuji TV and starred their mascots. The game was adapted and released as Super Mario Bros. 2. This was because Nintendo of Japan felt that their version of Super Mario Bros 2 would be too difficult and outdated when it came to the US.
