Super Mario USA is SMB2. Before Super Mario Bros. Lost Levels was in development, Nintendo developed an engine that worked horizontally and vertically. After innovating a world that moved horizontally, Nintendo decided to build a Mario game that worked both horizontally and vertically. The deal with Doki-Doki panic was struck later.

Re: Weirdness: Theories on the Inside of a Poké Ball

ACTUALLY, in the Pokemon manga, Pokeballs have translucent lids. Looking inside reveals that the Pokemon inside is smaller, but is not crammed inside. My guess is that when a Pokeball is capturing a Pokemon it converts a Pokemon to data, moves the data inside, reassembles the Pokemon on a smaller scale and uses nitrogen gas to Cryogenically freeze the Pokemon. When sending the Pokemon out of the Pokeball, it removes the gas, converts the Pokemon into data, moves it out of the Pokeball, and reassembles it to it's natural size.
