==Luigi Is In!==
Nintendo's Official Facebook states that Luigi will appear in this game. They also mention "other favorite characters" too, but I know thats too broad. 
Heres the link:[http://kotaku.com/5903941/new-super-mario-bros-2-hits-japan-3dses-this-august/gallery/1]
{{unsigned|M4R10 BR0S}}<br>
they might be making sound exciting but we have to have official notice for luigi, some kind of picture or artwork or text.{{User:YoshiGo99/sig}}

Yes, the official Nintendo Facebook page has text, but you have to be logged in and like the page to see it. Their post reads "This just in - New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be launching for Nintendo 3DS in August! This all-new, side-scrolling adventure features Mario, Luigi and all your fave characters from the Mario series. Are you excited to play?"

== Gold Mario ==

What does gold mario do? Is it sort of like invincible mario? {{Unsigned|Link007}}
:We've only seen screenshots so far, so we don't know yet. {{User:MrConcreteDonkey/sig}} 14:20, 21 April 2012 (EDT)
::That's a good question and in fact I think that actually  it's invincible Mario (he is multicolored in this form and one of these colors is gold). {{User:Coincollector/sig}}
:::I think it is either a super guide, or a new powerup (possibly like White Tanooki Mario). i dont think its invincible mario, as that is too solid and shiny, plus there are golden enemies. --<small>{{color|~ I'm|firebrick}}</small> <big>'''[[User:Purple Koopa Bro.|{{color|Purple|purple}}]]{{color|--|blue}}[[User talk:Purple Koopa Bro.|{{color|Koopa|gold}}]]{{color|--|blue}}[[Special:Random|{{color|Bro.|green}}]]'''</big> [[File:PKB FSB.png|35px]] <small>{{color| And I approve this sandwitch! ~|firebrick}}</small>
::::I think that it should '''not''' be put in the article unless we have it confirmed. I'm removing it for now, and if we ''do'' get some evidence that it '''is''' a power-up, I'll be fine with having it there. {{User:RandomYoshi/sig}} 05:15, 22 April 2012 (EDT)

==Are there source?==
Is there a source that this game is canon? - [[User:Billtn|Bill-tendo]] 10:26, 22 April 2012 (EDT)

My god, people these days
http://www.gamespot.com/news/new-super-mario-bros-2-hitting-3ds-this-august-6372611
There's plenty of sources on there.

{{User|yoshiyoshiyoshi}}

Dude, I'm just asking. - [[User:Billtn|Bill-tendo]] 12:01, 22 April 2012 (EDT)

Super Mario Wiki doesn't create articles for games unless they have an official source.

== NSMBW is NSMB2? ==

I want to make it clear. NSMBW was officially called NSMB2? (I mean if Nintendo itself has declared the NSMBW can also be called NSMB2) or just an alternate title from not-official media? {{User:Coincollector/sig}}

:''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' is the original follow-up of ''New Super Mario Bros.'' (which actually toke place some unknown amount of time after the events of ''Super Mario Galaxy''), and I also believe it was known as ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' too. But everyone should know this; sometimes, developers change the titles before the release. It should have been named '''''Super Mario 2D Land''''' instead. By the way, despite the name sounding like a sequel, I really doubt ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' would take place right after ''New Super Mario Bros.'', making the game occuring before the events of ''Super Mario Galaxy''. It is set to follow the events of ''Super Mario 3D Land''.--[[User:Prince Ludwig|Prince Ludwig]] 06:09, 23 April 2012 (EDT)

::Actually I was looking for a simple answer, and your reply is more deducible rather than factible (something that I see with the users who created the redirects for the NMSBW article), therefore it's still unclear because you haven't said if Nintendo said that NSMBW was ever called NSMB2. {{User:Coincollector/sig}}

:::Since it was a follow-up, it was always known as ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' by fans because ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' was the game's sequel. There's no source that Nintendo says it was called ''2''. So, it was never called ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' by Nintendo. But there's the real official ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' now (which could have its title changed at any time before the release because that name is very suited for a possible new ''Super Mario'' game based on ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' and ''BS Super Mario USA'', darn it).--[[User:Prince Ludwig|Prince Ludwig]] 17:26, 23 April 2012 (EDT)

::::If that's the case, we should avoid that NSMBW is also called NSMB2 and add information to the article based on that because it's not official. {{User:Coincollector/sig}}

Uh-huh. You got it. ;) --[[User:Prince Ludwig|Prince Ludwig]] 15:00, 24 April 2012 (EDT)

NSMBW is not a sequel to NSMB, rather, a follow-up for the Wii console (obviously). Fans call it NSMB2 because it's the second installment the New Super Mario Bros. sub-series. They just add numbers to the titles of sub-series' installments that only have up to 1-2 follow-ups. (Example: PM:TTYD = PM2). However, "this" NSMB2 is considered NSMB2, because this is the 2nd NSMB game to be on a handheld. I can see why you're totally confused though. xP.--{{User:UltraMario3000/sig}}

:I was talking about the '''chronology'''--when those games actually toke place. I am not confused, and you didn't understand what I meant. However, I did understood what you said now.

:And yes, ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' is after the events of ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy'', and ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' would have to be after ''Super Mario 3D Land'', not directly after the events of ''New Super Mario Bros.'' because it has a ''2''. It was the same for ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' since it wasn't a direct sequel to ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''. Those games are all the ''Super Mario'' series installments after all. It doesn't matter if they are on a handheld or a TV console. The chronology of the ''Super Mario'' series is not like ''Zelda'''s at all.

:I know that it's the second ''New Super Mario'' game on a handheld console. It's quite obvious. And despite that, it chronologically takes place after the events of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. It's not an alternate version of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' or something like that.--[[User:Prince Ludwig|Prince Ludwig]] 10:04, 28 April 2012 (EDT)

::There is no chronology in Mario as there is no Mario timeline, sorry. - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] 13:43, 1 May 2012 (EDT)

there was a redirect of NSMBW that was NSMB2. I think NSMB2 is just a beta name, such as super mario 3D=Super mario 3D land. {{User:CatJedi/sig}}
There's no way we would forget about a beta name, especially now. We still remember that ''Super Mario 3D'' is ''Super Mario 3D Land'', and the things about some games that were recently released. Before was different, because the wiki was a lot different itself too, then there were lots of changes later, and the changes turned the wiki like the way it is now. So, there are things from between the classic and modern ''Mario'' sources that are forgotten or nowhere to be found again. But, there are still official sources of the classic ''Mario'' elements, fortunatly. And yes, Ericss, there ''is'', in fact, a ''Mario'' chronology/timeline. So, don't appologize.--[[User:Prince Ludwig|Prince Ludwig]] 16:32, 1 May 2012 (EDT)

1:you spelled apologize wrong
2:don't need 2! :) {{User:CatJedi/sig}}

:this could still be a beta name....{{User:CatJedi/sig}}

== Return of Mini Mario? ==

Look the '''Hidden mini blocks''' in the image: http://www.mariowiki.com/File:NSMB2_screen2.jpg

I think the return of '''Mini Mario'''
{{Unsigned|Galaxymario99}}

But notice the Brick Blocks. Possibly a P-Switch can turn them into coins. So we have 2 unknown thoughts, Mini Mario or P-Switch or both.{{User:YoshiGo99/sig}}

I doubt ... although it is possible, but would be meaningless to those mini blocks if there is a P-Switch?!
{{User|Galaxymario99}}

Maybe we should wait until the game actually releases? [[User:Flipthenote|Flipthe]][[User talk:Flipthenote|note]] is the founder of a wiki! [http://www.editor.wikia.com/wiki/Level_Editor_Wiki]

:There's a Koopa Troopa in that screenshot. You probably do this:

1. Obtain a Mini Mushroom.

2. Stomp the Koopa, and kick its shell at the Brick Blocks.

3. Profit!

[[User:Paperphailurethemariomonster99|Paperphailurethemariomonster99]] 15:45, 6 June 2012 (EDT)

Aren't they Solid-On-Top-Platforms? {{User:Red-CyanToad/sig}}

There are also mini warp pipes, at least that is like super mario world ...
{{User|Galaxymario99}}

== Super Leaf ==
I remeber reading somewhere that it was in the game. But it was called a '''Power Leaf''' instead.
I can't find the source though....

{{User|yoshiyoshiyoshi}}

:It's clearly a [[Super Leaf]]. "Tanooki Leaf", "Raccoon Leaf" and now "Power Leaf"? Oh my god... It's obvious it'll be a Super Leaf. It ''literally'' means the Super Leaves will reappear. What kind of replacement do you guys expect? -_-; --[[User:Prince Ludwig|Prince Ludwig]] 17:35, 23 April 2012 (EDT)

ALWAYS trust sources, no matter what. {{User:CatJedi/sig}}

:Well, unless they  say stupid things like 'this mario kart game will not have karts. it will have tablecloths instead'. {{User:CatJedi/sig}}

== Scuttle Bug ==

Well, I've gotta say that those Scuttle Bugs look different than they did in previous games. Are we sure they ''are'' Scuttle Bugs? {{User:Toad'ShyGuy/sig}}

:Usually all characters from the Marioverse get a design revamp in various games they appear (specially enemies, for example the Mario Galaxy ones). No wonder they are scuttle bugs because they retain some basic characteristics. {{User:Coincollector/sig}}

== Spider Web ==
Do you think I should make the page ''Spider Web'' {{User:The legend of zelda rocks/sig}}
:We probably shouldn't make pages for anything new yet until we know more about it. {{User:Mariomario64/Sig}} 16:14, 24 April 2012 (EDT)
Thats what I was thinking but I just wanted to make sure. :) {{User:The legend of zelda rocks/sig}}
I think you should add it because before they released SM3DLand they made the ink piranha page {{User:CatJedi/sig}}
Well I'd like to make that page but is there a template telling readers that the item is in an '''upcoming game'''? Because if there is, it could (and has to) be used to make it.

== UK release date!!!! ==

For preordering. I think what it means by August 12 is August 2012 just like we have been saying.{{User:YoshiGo99/sig}}

==NSMBMii or is it NSMB'''2'''==
New Super Mario bros. Mii was a TEST, right, a DEMONSTRATION. So..mabey NEW Super Mario bros. 2 and New Super Mario bros 2 are the same game! Think about it, no person would make a game from scratch and not use the technology. Mabey The '''NEW SUPER MARIO BROS 2''' is the final version.  It IS a  coincidence that a year after they made the demo that a NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. was anounced, there is also the posobility of it being on the WiiU and the 3ds like MARIO AND SONIC series. So look up some info.{{unsigned|Lcc98}}

Games '''have''' been made purely for hardware demonstation that were '''not''' released. That's why they're called '''Tech Demos'''. Additionally, ''New Super Mario Bros. Mii'' was a Tech Demo for the Wii U to demonstrate High-Definition gameplay. And the Mario game currently in development for the Wii U is '''based''' off of the tech demo. There have been no links so far to the Wii U and 3DS Mario games upcoming, so currently they are acknowledged as seperate games.
There is no information you have made that is a solid fact, so it is speculation.
Please save this speculation for the forums. {{User|mariofanatic64}}

: it's NSMB2... unless it's a beta name.{{User:CatJedi/sig}}

==Luigi is Playable==
In a Nintendo Show 3D, she says "the new platformer brings Mario and Luigi back the their side-scrolling roots"
Is that enough proof?
{{User|yoshiyoshiyoshi}}

Yes, its enough, and I saw Luigi in a video at E3.--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 13:24, 24 June 2012 (EDT)

== MINISITE ==
Here is the official minisite of the game which reveals Golden Mario artwork as well as the story and more: http://e3.nintendo.com/games/#/3ds/new-super-mario-bros-2 [[User:MarioMaster720]]

== Multiplayer ==

multiplayer is available, second player can play as luigi [[User:Reddo|Reddo]] 22:45, 6 June 2012 (EDT)

== Eshop Descriptions ==

For the eshop description, what country should it be from?????--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 14:49, 7 June 2012 (EDT)


== The Koopalings Are IN!==

A Snapshot of Roy suggests that the Koopalings will apear in this game {{unsigned|Lcc98}}

== Numbered Roulette Blocks ==

I think that, since they're golden, when you hit the numbered Roulette Block it gives you that amount of coins. --[[User:Flipthenote|Flipthe]][[User talk:Flipthenote|note]] is the founder of a wiki! [http://www.editor.wikia.com/wiki/Level_Editor_Wiki]

Well no. Hitting the golden roulette block makes coins pop out. The coins will be worth a number, like 10, depending on what number was on the block when you hit it. --[[User:Flipthenote|Flipthe]][[User talk:Flipthenote|note]] is the founder of a wiki!

== Sources ==

How do you add sources because I added a level list and I have the soruces which were videos but I dont know how to add soruces. --[[User:Boidoh|Boidoh]] 17:02, 9 June 2012 (EDT)

== Undead Enemies?  ==

In the enemies section it says there are "Undead Goombas" and "Undead Piranha Plants". I looked at all the sources and images in the gallery, but I couldn't find them anywhere. Does anyone have proof of these enemies?--[[User:MarioMaster2011|MarioMaster2011]] 19:58, 10 June 2012 (EDT)

Check videos of people playing the game. They are in the demo of the game{{User:YoshiGo99/sig}}

:Thanks, I found them. They are in Course 3 of the demo, which is some fortress level. By the way your user page is awesome.--[[User:MarioMaster2011|MarioMaster2011]] 20:13, 10 June 2012 (EDT)

This Enemies looks like a bony enemy
{{Unsigned|Galaxymario99}}

::The undead goombas seem to resemble [[Bony Beetles]]. Unlike Dry Bones, they can be destroyed by a stomp, a fireball, or Raccoon Mario's tail. The undead piranha plants look like they can only be beat by a fireball or Raccoon Mario. It also could be possible that the fortress they're in might be {{world|1|fort}}.--[[User:MarioMaster2011|MarioMaster2011]] 23:06, 10 June 2012 (EDT)

== Red POW Blocks ==

If you look closely at the full group art, you will see a red [[POW Block]]. Should we add this? {{User:Mario3D64/sig}}
It's not the first time they've been red. the red ones in this game seem to cause chain reactions though
{{User|yoshiyoshiyoshi}}

Well I did put red next to POW Blocks. I wasn't sure if there were Blue ones to so I added ''(red)'' to it. But I think we should add something. Maybe add it to the POW Block page.{{User:YoshiGo99/sig}} 21:20, 20 June 2012 (EDT)

:I've got proof of them in the game! check this image out:[[File:BlocksAndCoinsNSMB2.jpg]]{{User:CatJedi/sig}}

We knew that since E3. We are just wondering if we should add info about what the red POW blocks do.{{User:YoshiGo99/sig}}

==Gold Items==

This [[Golden Mushroom]], what does it do? I know the flower turns you gold and gives the ability to shoot those fireballs that makes everything a coin, so it can't do the same thing.[[User:KoopaKiller13|KoopaKiller13]] 13:18, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
It gives you 50-100 coins, depending on whether or not you're Gold Mario. [[User:Mario3D64|Mario3D64]] 17:41, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

==Pictures of Golden Things==
Look what i found. Pictures of the golden enemies and Invincible Raccooon Mario. And if you have 1 000 000 coins, you will get something fun! How cool!

== Yellow Box ==

On the preorder page of the official site (newsupermariobros2.nintendo.com), it shows that at least the American release will have a yellow box, making it the first 3DS game outside of Japan with a different box color. Should we add this? {{User:Mario3D64/sig}}

== Golden 'shroom ==

What exactly is the difference between a Golden Mushroom and a Gold Flower? {{User:Toad'ShyGuy/sig}}

The [[Golden Mushroom|mushroom]] gives 50 or 100 coins, the [[Gold Flower|flower]] chances you in [[Gold Mario]]. {{User:Red-CyanToad/sig}}

:It doesn't transform him, like a Power-up? {{User:Toad'ShyGuy/sig}}

Correct.--[[User:Thejfh1999|Thejfh1999]] 13:22, 24 June 2012 (EDT)

== Nintendo Network ==

How will this game be compitable with Nintendo Network? The logo is on he boxart, so I was wondering. {{User:Toad'ShyGuy/sig}}

I think it has something to do with the DLC. {{User:Mario3D64/sig}}

== Coin Rush ==

== Underwater Level ==

In this video here [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSlua-x-dsI&list=UUfAPTv1LgeEWevG8X_6PUOQ&index=8&feature=plcp], there is an underwater level with Urchins and a new sort of mini sub-species. However, the page is protected so I can't edit it. Can somebody add it? (At 2:10, specifically)
