Wii]]'' for the [[Wii]]. As the sequel to ''New Super Mario Bros.'', it is an indirect follow-up to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', and has various reused elements from them.
'''''New Super Mario Bros. 2''''' is a side-scrolling 2D action-adventure platform game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. It was released in Japan on July 28, 2012, in Europe on August 17th, in Australia on August 18, in North America on August 19, and in Hong Kong on June 21, 2013, while in Italy the game was separately released on August 24, 2012, for the retail cartridge. It is the thirteenth title in the main ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series, the third in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' line after ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' for the [[Nintendo DS]], and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' for the [[Wii]], and the sequel to ''New Super Mario Bros.''.


The game's main focus is on coins, with the primary goal being to collect one million. To reach the goal, the game includes many new items to aid the player, such as the [[Gold Flower]], which turns Mario into [[Gold Mario]]. Like ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the game also seems to be partly based on ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', as it features [[Raccoon Mario]], the [[P-Meter]], and the [[Koopalings]], all of which were introduced in said game.

Standing on the balcony of [[Peach's Castle]], [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] wave goodbye to [[Princess Peach]] to go on a coin hunt as [[Raccoon Mario]] and [[Fox Luigi]]. However, as soon as they return, the Koopalings suddenly appear, crashing their [[Koopa Clown Car]] onto the ground, as well as damaging the brothers, making them revert to Super Mario and Super Luigi. [[Roy|Roy Koopa]] reveals Princess Peach from his back. They soon fly away in their Koopa Clown Car, and Mario and Luigi chase after them.

After defeating all of the Koopalings, the brothers head out of [[World 5-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-Castle]] and see Peach locked in a cage inside the Koopa Clown Car, which transfers her to [[Bowser's Castle]].
After defeating all of the Koopalings, the brothers head out of [[World 5-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-Castle]], and see Peach in a cage. As they are about to free her, the now-empty Koopa Clown Car transfers her to [[Bowser's Castle]].


When Mario and Luigi arrive at Bowser's Castle, they find [[Bowser]] and Peach, who is locked up in a cage. One of the duo has to step on the [[! Switch]] behind Bowser, making the bridge collapse and sending Bowser to his doom. Just before the bros. can celebrate their victory, Peach's cage gets pulled off screen. After riding some bony platforms, Mario and Luigi find the Koopalings in their Koopa Clown Car. They power Bowser up and Bowser transforms into a gigantic size. At the top of the tower is a giant switch that, when pressed, sends Bowser falling through the floor. Afterward, the princess is released from her cage. Then, everyone returns home, with Mario holding Peach in his arms and Luigi following closely behind, collecting coins along the way.

During the credits, the Koopalings can be seen in the background carrying the now regular-sized Bowser with the Koopa Clown Car. Bowser's immense weight exceeds its capacity. The story's description concludes with the Koopa Clown Car crash-landing, scattering everyone throughout the ground.

[[File:NSMB2 Maximum Coins.jpg|thumb|The message received after maxing out the coin counter at 9,999,999 coins]]
The basic gameplay is very similar to the previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. However, ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' focuses on collecting coins, with many and varied ways to collect many coins at once, such as golden items that award the player with them. The game's overall objective is to collect one million coins, with coins collected in levels being added to a total that is shared between the game's three save files and Coin Rush. The reward for collecting one million coins is a new title screen featuring a [[Gold Mario]] statue. The reward for maxing out the coin counter at 9,999,999 coins is a Gold [[Raccoon Mario]] Statue.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/abej/coin/index.html</ref><ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0U1bMu4X6M</ref>

Like ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the bottom screen displays a kind of map, showing the length of the level and where the player is, as well as showing the Star Coins collected, points total, number of extra lives, and also providing an item storage. It also shows the total number of collected coins in a stage, with the record number displayed next to it. There are nine worlds: six main worlds and three special worlds. Each world contains a different number of levels, including [[Ghost House]]s, [[Fortress]]es and [[Castle]]s. [[Reznor]]s and [[Koopaling]]s are found at the end of each fortress and castle, respectively.

Unlike ''New Super Mario Bros.'', when the player enters a secret area, the screens are not switched, with the gameplay remaining on the top screen and allowing the player to use their reserved item.

Other details in gameplay were added in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''. Among these details is the game's music that slightly changes depending on the situation; for example, when playing as Raccoon Mario or Fox Luigi, a drumbeat is added, similar to how a drumbeat is added while riding [[Yoshi]] in other ''Mario'' games. Once a Gold Ring is activated, twinkling noises appear. Another example is that if Mario goes to the very top of the screen and out of sight, the music gets quieter.

A two-player co-op mode is also available, in which a second player plays as Luigi accompanying Mario in the single-player game; both players may select which character they would like to be, however. This mode can only be played with two Nintendo 3DS consoles and two game cards. The gameplay is not much different from the single player, although in co-op coins and lives are shared between the two players, with each collected coin or extra life earned (though not collected) counting as two. Each player also has their own item storage, which can be accessed at any point. Several mechanics from the ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' multiplayer, such as the bubble and item boxes giving two items, are retained for this mode. In addition, the camera only focuses on one player at a time (denoted by a colored arrow above their character; red for Mario and green for Luigi), and can be changed during the level by ground-pounding the player currently in control, if the other player enters another section of the level first, or if the player of focus loses a life or enters a bubble.

Also featured in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' is Coin Rush mode, a time attack-esque mode that challenges the player to collect as many coins as they can in three randomly selected single-player levels without losing a life. Levels are selected depending on the pack chosen. The Mushroom Pack selects three levels from Worlds 1, 2, and Mushroom; the Flower Pack chooses levels from Worlds 3, 4, and Flower; and the Star Pack chooses levels from Worlds 5, 6, and Star. Ten downloadable course packs are also available for purchase in the in-game store, also accessible in this mode, which allows the player to play three custom-created courses. In Coin Rush, players have the option to either play normally or as White Raccoon Mario.

==Glitches==
{{main|List of New Super Mario Bros. 2 glitches}}
===Enemies in Blocks===
This glitch can be done in {{world|star|1}} and requires [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]. First, Mario should [[Ground Pound]] some [[Brick Block]]s near a Brick Block with nothing below it to make it possible to hit. It has a [[P Switch]] inside that Mario must press. Then Mario must run to the second platform after the [[? Switch]] and wait for the P Switch to wear off. Then, if done correctly, the Koopa will be stuck inside some Brick Blocks. After turning right, it will appear slightly to the right for only a split second and then return to its original position. It can still dance to the beat in the music.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBcUFHUSsPM|title=Video of "Koopa in the Blocks"|deadlink=y|language=en|publisher=YouTube}}</ref>
 
===Red Ring glitch===
Due to an oversight, in [[World 4-A (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-A]], if the player activates the [[Red Ring]] but ignores the [[Red Coin]]s and goes to the [[Mushroom Trampoline]] between two blue [[Warp Pipe]]s that spawn [[Goomba]]s after the [[Checkpoint Flag]], the coins from the bottom will spout out, even though the player has not collected the [[Star Coin]] yet. After that, if the player then backtracks to the Red Coins' location, they will still be there and can even be collected and still reward a power-up.<ref>{{cite|author=Durag Dee|language=en|date=March 29, 2014|url=youtu.be/9TUADulwPcw|title=New super mario bros.2 glitch: W4-A|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=December 24, 2021}}</ref>

''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' had a more unique development cycle than the other games in the series. Not only was the game developed by the [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development|Entertainment Analysis and Development team]], but also by members of other development teams, including the [[Nintendo SPD|Software Planning and Development team]], as part of the "Mario Cram School," a program meant to teach other teams about the development of ''Super Mario'' games.<ref name="Iwata NSMB2 1">{{cite|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/nsmb2/0/0|title=Iwata Asks : ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' : Mario Cram School|publisher=Nintendo.com|language=en-us|accessdate=September 16, 2024|page=1}}</ref> Also different is that the game's stages were designed before the mechanics and main focus were thought of.<ref name="Iwata NSMB2 1"/>


The focus on coins came about early in development, with [[Takashi Tezuka]] and Toshihiko Nakago speaking about coins; at the time, development of ''Super Mario 3D Land'', which features the [[Coin Box|? Box]], had recently wrapped up. The coin concept was first implemented with the golden Koopa Troopa, and soon after Tezuka suggested the one million coin goal. The developers then began to fill the stages with coins, and created more ways to collect them, such as the additional golden enemies and Gold Mario.<ref>{{cite|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/nsmb2/0/2|title=Iwata Asks : ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' : "Shouldn't This One Be About Coins?"|publisher=Nintendo.com|language=en-us|accessdate=September 16, 2024|page=2}}</ref> Because of the game's coin focus, the developers considered naming it "New Super Mario Bros. Gold," but the "2" was chosen instead since the game features more stages than the previous entries in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series as well as new elements, which the developers felt allowed it to stand alone as a standard 2D ''Super Mario'' title.<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|page=6|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/nsmb2/0/6|title=Iwata Asks : ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' : Classic Super Mario|publisher=Nintendo.com|accessdate=September 16, 2024}}</ref>

Implementation of the co-op mode was originally met with conflict; Tezuka suggested adding it, but the staff opposed him due to being unsure on how it could be implemented, and that it couldn't be done within the remainder of the given development timeframe. Earlier in development, a prototype mode featuring both Mario and Luigi in the single-player stages had been developed. Using this, the developers worked on refining it, making it more similar to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Issues with the Nintendo 3DS' screen kept the camera from expanding to accommodate both players, so instead the camera was made to focus on a single player at a time, with both being able to fight for control over it.<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/nsmb2/0/4|page=4|title=Iwata Asks : ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' : Team Up to Strike it Rich|publisher=Nintendo.com|accessdate=September 16, 2024}}</ref>
The focus on coins came about early in development, with [[Takashi Tezuka]] and Toshihiko Nakago speaking about coins; at the time, development of ''Super Mario 3D Land'', which features the [[Coin Box]], had recently wrapped up. The coin concept was first implemented with the golden Koopa Troopa, and soon after Tezuka suggested the one million coin goal. The developers then began to fill the stages with coins, and created more ways to collect them, such as the additional golden enemies and Gold Mario.<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/nsmb2/0/2 Iwata Asks : New Super Mario Bros. 2 : "Shouldn't This One Be About Coins?"]</ref> Because of the game's coin focus, the developers considered naming it "New Super Mario Bros. Gold," but the "2" was chosen instead since the game features more stages than the previous entries in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series as well as several new elements, allowing it to stand alone as a standard 2D ''Super Mario'' title.<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/nsmb2/0/6 Iwata Asks : New Super Mario Bros. 2 : Classic Super Mario]</ref>


The concept of the Coin Rush mode was thought of before the coin theme of the game was. Yusuke Anamo was thinking about how to make the game more replayable, but also something that could be played even in free time. In addition, after making the stages more coin-oriented, the developers noticed that, no matter how often the game was played, the million-coin goal was very difficult to reach. It was then that they decided to incorporate collecting large amounts of coins into the new mode.<ref>{{cite|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/nsmb2/0/3|page=3|language=en-us|title=Iwata Asks : ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' : "I Don't Like It."|publisher=Nintendo.com|accessdate=September 16, 2024}}</ref> The Coin Rush downloadable course packs were originally announced before the game was released; the courses themselves, however, had not been created at the time.<ref>{{cite|author=Gilbert, Henry|date=June 22, 2012|url=www.gamesradar.com/new-super-mario-bros-2-dlc-and-more-detailed-new-trailer|title=''New Super Mario Bros 2'' DLC and more detailed in new trailer|publisher=GamesRadar|language=en|accessdate=September 16, 2024}}</ref> The idea of downloadable content had come up during the development of both ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' and ''New Super Mario Bros.

Implementation of the co-op mode was originally met with conflict; Tezuka suggested adding it, but the staff opposed him due to being unsure on how it could be implemented, and that it couldn't be done within the remainder of the given development timeframe. Earlier in development, a prototype mode featuring both Mario and Luigi in the single-player stages had been developed. Using this, the developers worked on refining it, making it more similar to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.

|8.5/10
|align="left"|"''It is impossible not to be drawn in by the simple perfection of New Super Mario Bros 2's mechanics and level design – this is as pleasurable and effortless as 2D platforming gets. But it's also impossible not to be disappointed that it's over so quickly, and doesn't offer anything really new. The best Mario games reinvent themselves at the same time as paying loving homage to what went before; they take something you know and love and make it feel new all over again. New Super Mario Bros doesn't do that - but it's a delightful game while it lasts, and still the best 2D platformer on the 3DS.''"

|8/10
|align="left"|"''This is a high-quality game by anyone's standards, but that doesn't change the fact that I spent a good deal of my time playing it feeling blasphemously bored. Fortunately, the true Mario tradition is in safe hands in Tokyo, no doubt to return and restore our faith in some mind-bending new adventure next year. But perhaps New Super Mario Bros. should be allowed to grow old a bit more gracefully than this.''"

|7/10
|align="left"|"''New Super Mario Bros. 2 is good. It was always going to be good, because Nintendo makes good games. That was never in doubt. However, it's a markedly more vacuous experience, bereft as it is of fresh gameplay and rigidly sticking to a formula with such zeal one would almost believe it a religious imperative of the developers. The coin collecting silliness may alter the player's approach somewhat, but it is nonetheless superficial and many players will doubtless get bored of it before hitting their million. The gimmick serves as an allegory for the entire game, really -- a glittering distraction, lacking any real substance. At its core, New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a Mushroom Kingdom coin -- shiny and addictive, but carrying no practical value whatsoever.''"

Also, while the game loads (such as when starting up the game or looking for a second player in Co-op Play), the loading chime plays the first part of this game's overworld theme. Small Mario sprite from ''Super Mario Bros.'' appears in some parts of Coin Rush mode, such as to show which course the player will play or while counting the coins obtained in the levels. The maximum number of lives results in crowns like in this game. World 1-1, 1-2 and 1-4 are remade as part of the Classic Courses Pack.

*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': [[Raccoon Mario]], the [[Power Meter]], [[Jump Block]]s and [[Wooden Block]]s return. The [[P-Wing]] makes a cameo, replacing the "P" icon of the Power Meter. The floor in Bowser's room is checkered, similar to those of several [[Fortress]]es in this game. Like in this game, Toad Houses have the same music (except for 1-Up Toad Houses) and feature a choice of three power-ups. Also, the loading chime plays a small part of this game's overworld theme. The Toad Houses also play the music that they played in this game. World 1-1 and 1-5 are remade as part of the Classic Courses Pack.

*''[[Super Mario World]]'': [[Chocolate Island]] backgrounds are used in some of the levels. [[Reznor]]s and the battle theme return from this game. The Koopalings ride the [[Koopa Clown Car]]. The moons on Moon Coins strongly resemble [[3-Up Moon]]s from this game. Also, when the bridge breaks in the Reznor battles it has a similar sound to the blocks when they break in this game, and when the player hits a switch, it makes the P-Switch noises from this game. The loading chime plays a small part of this game's overworld theme. Mario and Luigi can look up as well.

[[Sky Move Lift]]s are reminiscent of the coin-filled [[Treasure Ship]]s. The [[P-Wing]] makes a cameo, replacing the "P" icon of the P-Meter. The first room of {{world-link|6|bowsern2|World 6-Bowser's Castle}} features a vertical shaft traversable using a [[Donut Block]], which is reminiscent of a similar obstacle in {{world-link|8|bowser3|World 8-Bowser's Castle (Super Mario Bros. 3)}}. The floor in Bowser's room is checkered, similar to those of several [[Fortress]]es in this game. Like in this game, Toad Houses, except for Green Toad Houses, have the same music (albeit in the form of its ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' arrangement) and feature a choice of three power-ups. Also, the loading chime plays a small part of this game's overworld theme.

*''[[Super Mario World]]'': [[Chocolate Island]]-styled backgrounds are used in some of the levels. [[Reznor]]s and the standard boss theme return from this game. Also, when the bridges break in the Reznor battles, they sound like breaking blocks in this game, and when the player hits a switch, it makes the P Switch noises from this game. [[Roy]]'s boss fight takes place in a room with walls that close in on the player, like in this game. The loading chime plays a small part of this game's overworld theme. Mario and Luigi can look up as well. The [[Moon Coin]]s have an imprint of a [[3-Up Moon]]. Diagonally flying [[Bullet Bill]]s return.
**''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'': The intro is similar, with Mario and Luigi being distracted by a flying power-up so the [[Koopalings]] can kidnap [[Princess Peach]].

*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': [[Whomp]]s and [[Scuttle Bug]]s return. The [[Wall Jump]], [[Double Jump]], and [[Triple Jump]] return. Silver Luigi resembles to Metal Mario.
*''[[Mario Golf]]'': Gold Mario resembles to one of Metal Mario's alternate colors.
*''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'': If Mario jumps on a Toad, its mushroom cap will bounce. If attacked from a distance, it will flinch. This feature first appeared in this game.

*''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'': A direct sequel to this game. Mario's [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini]] and [[Mega Mario|Mega]] forms return. Mega Mario will also earn several [[1-Up Mushroom]]s by destroying the [[Goal Pole]] like how he could originally earn 1-Up Mushrooms by destroying objects in this game. [[Dry Bowser]] also returns alongside his throwable bones. This game's remix of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' theme is used during the Dash Mario stages, as well as the Mega Mushroom theme. Several enemies retain their behaviors from this game, such as [[Big Whomp]]s, [[Scuttlebug]]s, and [[Whomp]]s; both varieties of Whomp also reuse their crushing sound effect and Scuttlebugs reuse the sound effect they make when they drop into the screen. [[Coin Coffer]]s also evade the player as [[Moneybag]]s did in this game. [[Big Cheep Cheep]]s retain their large size from this game. [[Gold Block|Flying Gold Blocks]] behave similarly to the red [[Flying ? Block]]s in this game, hovering on the [[world]] map and appearing near the player's spawn point within levels. The cloud-filled backgrounds seen in athletic levels and bonus areas are designed after the cloud-filled backgrounds seen in similar locations in this game and the background of {{world|6|bowsern2}} is designed after the background normally seen in [[castle]] boss rooms in this game. [[Flipper]]s, [[quicksand]], retracting staircases, [[Rope|tightrope]]s, [[Snake Block]]s, and  [[track]]s also use their designs from this game. Nonlinear world progression returns and is again displayed using branching paths on the world select screen. World maps are also highly linear and progress from left to right, like in this game. [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6]] is filled with withered trees, like [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]]. The level progression bar is obscured by [[Boo]]s in [[Ghost House]]s, like in this game. The first level in both games feature a hidden [[Beanstalk|Vine]] leading to a [[Hard Block]] platform with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] and an aerial sub area. {{world-link|1|towern2|World 1-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}'s [[Goal Pole (secret)|secret exit]] is found in a similar manner to {{world-link|1|towern|World 1-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}}'s secret exit: via a hole on the right side of a room with shifting obstacles. The Hard Block platforming section of [[World 6-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-1]] is reminiscent of the [[Red Block]] platforming section of [[World 5-C|World 5-C]] in this game. [[World 6-4 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-4]] is aesthetically based on [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-1]] from this game. [[Toad House]]s once again become permanently accessible after beating every level in the game.
*''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'': A direct sequel to this game. Mario's [[Mini Mario|mini]] and [[Mega Mario|mega]] forms return. [[Dry Bowser]] also returns. The game's remix of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' theme is used during the Dash Mario stages, as well as the Mega Mushroom theme.

The music and graphic style are reused from this game, with added vocals to the overworld and athletic themes, as well as vocal riffs "paah" included in the tower, castle and ghost house themes. The [[level]] settings are reused from this game. The second phase of Bowser's battle can be compared to the second phase of Bowser in this game, except Mario needs to move from platform to platform vertically instead of horizontally. The [[bubble]] system returns, and the multiplayer gameplay is reused (though Mario and Luigi cannot pick up each other as before). The Koopalings also had the same voices from and also taunt the same way before they fight and are fought similarly to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In addition, they also aided Bowser in a manner very similar to how Kamek aided Bowser in that game, right down to being knocked down by Bowser the same way upon his becoming giant.

During the credits, Mario carries Peach in a similar fashion to this game, except he is not flying, but walking on the ground. [[+ Clock]]s return with similar functions. Once again, items from Toad Houses work their effects immediately, rather than being placed in an inventory. Stars can be earned in the file, like in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and this game.

The game was originally to be titled ''New Super Mario Bros. Gold'', but since the stages were said to stand on their own without the coin theme, the name was changed. The [[Platform Panic Pack]] [[Coin Rush]] DLC was also set to be released as the seventh pack, but with the announcement of the [[Gold Classics Pack]] it was moved to being pack eight.

This glitch can be done in {{world|star|1}} and requires [[Super Mario]]. First, Mario should [[Ground Pound]] some [[Brick Blocks]] near a Brick Block with nothing below it to make it possible to hit. It has a [[P-Switch]] inside that Mario must press. Then Mario must run to the second platform after the [[? Switch]] and wait for the P-Switch to wear off. Then, if done correctly, the Koopa will be stuck inside some Brick Blocks. After turning right, it will appear slightly to the right for only a split second and then return to its original position. It can still dance to the beat in the music.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBcUFHUSsPM&feature=plcp YouTube video of "Koopa in the Blocks"]</ref>
