Story
Trouble always seems to find its way to the Mushroom Kingdom. Just as Mario and Luigi go off on a coin hunt in the sky, their beloved Princess Peach is kidnapped by the dastardly Koopalings. The brothers have to venture through over 80 stages to rescue her, grabbing an endless deluge of coins across land, water, air, and snow along the way.
The New Super Mario Bros. 2 game is bursting at the seams with an endless flow of gold coins for you to collect. You'll explore levels filled with gold pipes leading to coin-filled caverns, gold enemies leaving behind trails of coins, and new power-ups and items that will push your coin count into the stratosphere. Can you collect a million coins?
Shiny new Power Ups and Items
Use familiar items such as the Super Leaf, Mega Mushroom and Super Star to tackle obstacles in your way. However, new power-ups have appeared and each one gives you a boost to reach new heights, grab multitudes of coins, and more.
Gold Flower - Find this rare flower to turn into Gold Mario, and wield Gold Fireballs that turn almost everything into coins-bricks, Goombas, you name it. Each enemy you stomp on also offers up five coins.
Gold Block - Hit a repeating coin block enough times and it turns gold, getting stuck on Mario's head. Run as fast as possible with this block attached and watch the coins add up at super speed.
Gold Ring - Hop through a gold ring and all enemies will turn into gold for a short time, yielding more coins and coin-producing behaviors. Flying Cheep-Cheeps will have a trail of coins, Gold Lakitus will toss coins from the sky, and more.
Gold Mushroom - This valuable fungus only appears in Coin Rush mode. But if you manage to find one, you'll get 50 coins on the spot.
New online and multiplayer modes
Whether you're in a friendly or competitive mood, enjoy a romp through New Super Mario Bros. 2 with friends and family in a variety of fun modes.
Two Player Co-op
If you and a friend each have a Nintendo 3DS system and a copy of the game, you can play through the entire game together with a local wireless connection. Collect double the coins, team up for devastating double Ground Pounds, and more. A buddy can even join in to help when continuing from your Solo Play save file.
Coin Rush
Show off your super skills in this mode, where you'll play three levels back-to-back trying to earn as many coins as possible using only one life. Your Coin Rush record is then saved and can be shared with other players via the StreetPass feature. These players can try to beat your score, and you can challenge theirs.
Worldwide coin total
Enable SpotPass communication for New Super Mario Bros. 2, and every coin you collect will be added to the Worldwide Coin Total, along with other players like you. How high do you think it will go? Let's find out together!

Customer Reviews
I don't need to mention the story, because you already know it.
Obviously, Mario is not a game about dramatic plot twists and epic story lines.
But, it is damn fun and has kept Nintendo in business (as well as Zelda and Prof. Layton).
I don't know how long they can keep doing what they do.
Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Super Mario Bros. etc... On each console.
But for now, it works and it keeps me buying their stuff.
On a side note, I also have an Xbox 360.
Anyway.. The game is good, but nothing you've not already seen.
Anyone who likes Mario should like this, but some may find it disappointing because there's nothing really 'new' about it.
A lot of reviews already point out the problems with the game, so here's a summary:
- It's pretty short, depending on how you play the game
- Still has no online co-op/multiplayer. Nintendo are lagging behind with this, always
- You have FAR TOO MANY lives and don't have the worry of seeing a game-over screen, which can make gamers feel determined to carry on playing
- It seems like Nintendo have tried too hard to make a game easy enough for kids
- The boss battles are pretty much a joke to be honest
- Toad houses offer nearly nothing... Apart from power ups you easily get during levels, and More damn lives!
- The coin thing is a bit ridiculous. The new powers ups are fairly fun, I suppose, but is it worth trying to find 1 million coins? I personally don't know the 'reward' for doing this, apart from wasting some precious time
- The 3D is rubbish and you end up turning it off. After Super Mario 3D land, this is very disappointing.
The good though:
- It is Mario, and you can always count on the Mario games being fun
- The colours and overall presentation of the game is very nice
- It may be predictable, but the game is still very fun
- It's another game that makes the 3DS worth getting
- The game does have some replay value. It has that arcade feel to it. Those that enjoy going for time trials, or collecting as much coins as possible will enjoy this the most.
Overall, it is a good game.
Not great though.
For someone who is deciding between games, and has little money, definitely play Super Mario 3D land over this.
If you've always enjoyed Mario games, that won't stop here.
Happy plumbing.
Having said all that, if you don't mind that the old formula is being re used and are happy to play levels with similar design to the older games, then you will not be disappointed. The game has a fair few new powerups and mechanics, as well as a lot of nostalgic value. The game focuses a lot more on the collection of coins than before, which can add to a lot of fun to the game, however it will get tedious once you find yourself having to collect a million coins for completionist purposes. Co-op gameplay is introduced from the Wii game, which can bring a more social aspect to the game as well.
So to summarise, it's a worthy buy, just nothing really new here.
It isn't incredibly challenging, but can still keep me - a teenager - interested. The children will love it too!
There are eight levels, two of which are secret, and the game certainly has longevity. It isn't your complete-in-2-hours-Imagine-game. It seems interesting and I expect longevity from this.
As for playing on the 3DS XL, it is simply amazing. The graphics are excellent and you feel as though you are in the game. The 3D effects are good, but not necessary to enjoy the game. Thus, those under six (or thse who hate the 3D) can still enjoy this gem.
It is very similar to the original, but the levels are quite different. There are perks and new suits, etc. but it is still familiar enough to know what to expect. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, because it creates a feeling of nostalgia.
My only concern is that the collecting coins thing could become tedious. I know they needed a different plotline, but listening to that sound could become monotonous and hanging around for coins can be frustrating! But, it encourages you to spend more time on the level, thus allowing the game to last longer.
I love this game and I would recommend this to anyone!! If you haven't played the original, I would recommend you buy that as well. Truly amazing - you won't be disappointed! Pretty and with substance...a truerarity in the gaming industry today. And, this is why Nintendo still sell consoles...The quality is undeniable.
