I wouldn't be surprised if this gets closed, but I'll do my best to answer anyway as I happen to know the answer.
The original Super Mario Bros. 2 that was released in Japan is known as The Lost Levels in America and wasn't released until 1993 as part of Super Mario All Stars (a great game in and of itself). When Nintendo of America got a hold of the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2 they found the game to be too hard. According to Takashi Tezuka and Shigeru Miyamoto, this was actually the goal of the game, however NoA cancled the stateside release as a result.
Since The Lost Levels wasn't to be released in America and Super Mario Brothers 3 was about to be released in Japan, Nintendo of America singled out a different game to take the place of Super Mario Brothers 2. That game was Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic. Since it featured 4 different protagonists with varying stats, Toadstool and Toad were added to Mario and Luigi. Its also worth noting that this is the first game to feature Luigi as being taller than Mario because the character he was based on (Mama) was noticable taller than the character Mario was based on (Brother). The result is what is commonly known as Super Mario Brothers 2.

... starting with 10 lives, the life counter will be glitchy. From 10-19 lives, you will see a crown followed by the ones digit; for example, if you have 15 lives, the counter will display a crown followed by 5. From 20-45 lives, the ones digit is a letter instead; to find out the number of lives you have, take the numerical value of the letter (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 ... Z = 26) and add 19. For example, a crown followed by D is 19 + 4, or 23 lives. If you have 46 or more lives, the ones digit is a weird symbol, usually chunks of other pictures that exist in the game.

Warp to World 4 - Go to world 1-3 and find a potion. Now find the vase next to the brick building all the way to the right side of the level. Drop the potion and go into Sub-Space and then warp into the vase (stand on top of it and press down) You will warp to World 4!
Warp to World 5 - Go to world 3-1 and go through the door to the large waterfall with all the clouds. Now jump down and land on the platform in the center and enter. Take the potion and drop it near the vase. Enter Sub-space and warp through the vase (press down on the vase) You will warp to World 5!

Warp to World 7 - Go to world 5-3 and get the potion (make sure you can squat-jump to the vase, you need to get someone with a good jumping ability or use an enemy to give you a boost.). Put the sub space door near the vase and enter sub space and warp into the vase. You are now in world 7!
