Why is the second in the series often the best game of a franchise? Typically they add so much to the premiere installment and feel double the size whereas subsequent sequels often take a soft reboot approach and dial back the expansion of features. For example here are some Game 2s which are superior to the initial outing:
>Super Mario Bros 2
>Pokemon Gold & Silver
>Banjo Tooie
>Star Fox 64
>Panzer Dragoon Zweii
>Street Fighter II
>Mega Man 2
>DBZ Legacy of Goku II
>Metroid Prime 2

Post more examples of game 2s that outperform both the first and third games of the franchise

Based. The first one's still good though. 3rd one sucked.
>>
>>12067359
>Super Mario Bros 2
But it wasn't actually a Mario game. It was a sprite swap of Doki Doki Panic.
>>
>>12067560
Other way around, and it was called Mario Madness here in the US.
>>
Streets of Rage 2 is another one. But yeah I've often wondered this because it does seem to happen a lot.
>>
>>12067359
>I wonder how it's possible that second attempts are generally better than first attempts

>>12067359
>First canon tranny
>Not even an actual mario game
>No bowser
smb2 is the worst 2d mario game.

Why the hell isn't Wart in even a single Mario Kart or Mario Tennis or Golf

civ2 was worlds above the original also
>>
>>12067359
most of these are not, in fact, the second entries in the series
>>
>>12067467
What's wrong with 3? I enjoyed all of the nba street games although I pretty much only played them in multiplayer.
>>
>>12068126
I wonder why they never dust off the other Mario 2 characters.
>>
>>12067359
Clawglip is the hardest boss. Also based opinion.
>>
>>12068126
>not even a cameo in dream team
>>
>>12067359
>>Mega Man 2
SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY.
X1 counts as Mega Man and it's STUPIDLY better.
>>
>>12068897
I'll agree that X1 is better than MegaMan 1 if that's the way you want to count it. Truth be told my hot take is that 6 is the best one
I could also fudge Sonic CD to fit this perimeter
DK Jr is also better than The OG DK. Although everyone knows the GB94 enhancement is the best but that doesn't count as a sequel
>>
Can't forget an obvious one, Ms Pac Man
>>
>>12067359
>Banjo Tooie

Nice try.
>>
>Devil may cry 2
>Castlevania 2

Oh no
