New Super Mario Bros. 2
Bowser has once again kidnapped Princess Peach, but this time, Mario has another objective. The Mushroom Kingdom is bursting with more gold coins than before. Each level is littered with gold as coins rain down from overhead pipes, trails of coins are left behind special gold enemies and gold pipes transport Mario into coin-filled caverns. It's up to players to collect as many coins as possible throughout this all-new side-scrolling adventure. The game also features new and returning abilities, all-new challenges, and a 2-player cooperative mode*. Can you collect 1 million coins?*Cooperative mode requires two systems and two games. Each sold separately.

This is a very fun game, but the lack of innovation makes me feel like I am playing New Super Mario Bros for the DS or for the Wii. It plays out pretty much the same, and doesn't add very many new concepts. It gets boring after you 100% the game, which is why I gave the lasting appeal a 7 instead of an 8. Also, why is almost every song from this game from the older games? I would like to see some new tunes, Nintendo. This game gets an 8/10 because it is a very fun game but has a few flaws I can't really ignore.

too short, the levels are not fun to play a second time, it is amazing the first time through but other than that, i mean if you want to get it to play it and enjoy it once AND you have 40 bucks to throw away then heck, by all means waste your money yo, it aint worth it

This game is perfect for: casual gamers
There wasn't much different about this one compared to the DS and Wii prequels. The only new thing was Coin Rush mode, but it was missing a lot of previous modes like playing against each other. There weren't any Mini games like the DS prequel had. You can't even play Co-op unless the other player owns the game. The add on Coin Rush packs weren't even worth the mone. I bought the first three and that was it. They only added less than five minutes of gameplayy per pack. It's a good game, but gameplay and visuals weren't changed very much. Even the 3D effect wasn't very impressive. Also, far too easy.

Its exactly like its ds predecessor, but with more coins. The levels feel like they were designed for a 9 year old to play, with little to no difficulty. Getting coins felt repttetive and most levels ended with the clock running out. dont waste your time with it. However if you do know a younger gamer this would be perfict for him/her.

Welcome to my review of New Super Mario Bros 2 exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS! Being the direct sequel to New Super Mario Bros for the DS, this game has a lot to offer, such as a semi newer story, better gameplay, crisp graphics, and epic sounding music.
Now, diving into our first topic, let’s talk about the story. The story starts off as you, Mario, and Luigi on the balcony of princess Peach’s castle wearing the newly added Tanooki suits. As Mario and Luigi say their goodbyes, they fly away while wearing the Tanooki suits giving them ability to do so. As they do, they land on the ground, and a whole new bunch of evil characters show up frightening Mario and Luigi with their evil laughs while carrying the beautiful princess peach and flying away. Now, it is your job as Mario to go save Peach in a 2D style platforming experience.
Now the Game Play is solid. The controls are like the previous Mario games. They take full advantage of button mashing. Doing so, It is always fun to play as Mario exploring new 2D style worlds, collecting coins, and collecting the newly added star medals added to each level. Each level has its own difficulty. As you go up in worlds, it gets harder than the previous worlds. But to some experienced and hardcore Mario players, they may find it a little too easy. If you die a few times in a row, the game then gives you a glowing indestructible Tanooki suit, making the levels a lot easier, that is if you fall down through a gap or fall into a pool of poison or lava. They even added a Gold Mario suit which turns all stone blocks into coins! But it doesn’t make you indestructible, you still can die. All this gives is an awesome look to an already classic Mario.
Next, we have the graphics. The graphics are a lot better to the previous New Super Mario Bros on the DS. Even though it is for the 3DS, the graphics are still in 2D, but when the 3D is turned on, it gives the game a little more character and charm to it. The colors are very vibrant and very crisp. This is what really gives the game its charm.
The sound and music is nothing more than expected. Every Mario game has some amazing music made by Nintendo’s Mario specified orchestra. This game definitely did not disappoint. Crisp sounding jingles and tunes were given in this game to enhance the gameplay and Mario experience. Nothing says Mario like hitting a coin block and hearing that classic sound we all know and love.
Overall, New Super Mario Bros 2 is an awesome game, but how awesome? Is it somewhat awesome, a little awesome, Awesome, Very Awesome, or FREAKING AWESOME? I’m going to have to go with Very awesome. Even though the story is the same as every Mario game, the replay value is top notch. The Gameplay is what we’d always expect from a Classic and well known Franchise. The graphics are crisp and vibrant, and the Music is nothing more than expected from a video game franchise known for their music. With that being said, New Super Mario Bros 2 is definitely a game worth picking up if not done so already.

This is basically the exact same thing as the original and Wii versions with new levels, which is fine for me because I've only barely played those enough to know what they are. Still very fun. It also keeps track of your coins in a feature called Coin Rush. Basically, you buy a "coin pack" from the in-game store and race through three different levels from different worlds (depending on what pack(s) you've bought or unlocked) and share your records through Spotpass. I would reccomend to new and old Mario fans alike. I like playing it on the 3DS Nerf Armor.

ok so a little splurb on the new super mario bros 2. if you have a 3ds or a 3dsxl i HIGHLY suggest you try it out if you have ever liked ANY of the mario games. its basically got something from every single mario ever created, from the raccoon tail and fireballs, to jumping on the flag at the end of the board mixed with all sorts of new fun. the 3d graphics are simply AWESOME, so far this is the ONLY game that does not give me a headache if i play it with the 3d turned all the way up for more than just a few minutes. besides the lego harry potter, this is my top 2nd all time favorite game for the system!!!

This is one of the best Mario DS games. It is a little bit short but it is a coin fest. You get lives left and right and it is so easy and you really can't lose. The levels are very well thought out. It is just fun all around.
