Template:Justreleased Template:Articleabout Template:Infobox New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a side-scrolling platform game for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released in Japan on July 28th, 2012, and is set to be released in Europe on August 17th, Australia on August 18th and the US on August 19th[1], while in Italy the game will separately be released on August 24. It's the thirteenth title in the main Super Mario series, the eighth title to be a Super Mario Bros. installment, 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 was announced by Satoru Iwata in a Nintendo conference in April 21, 2012. The game seems to be heavily based on Super Mario Bros. 3, as it features Raccoon Mario, and the P-charge bar, both of which were introduced in said game. It also combines elements from New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, as this is a follow-up to those games.[2]

According to Nintendo, New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be the first Nintendo game (and specifically the first Mario title) to be purchased and digitally downloaded through the Internet. The game can be stored onto an SD card, along with multiple other games, and be played on the Nintendo 3DS, but they can't be shared with other Nintendo 3DS handhelds.[3] It is also revealed that the game's overall goal is to collect one million coins.

Story

Description from the American website:

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.

Gameplay

The gameplay is very similar to previous the 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 many coins. Like New Super Mario Bros., the bottom screen displays a kind of map, showing the length of the level and where the player is. Though unknown as of now, there are more than 8 Worlds and some will have more than one theme (World 3, which was just a beach theme in New Super Mario Bros., is now a beach and a forest theme). The item storage reappears too. Each world contains a random number of levels, including Ghost Houses, Fortresses and Castles. Reznors and Koopalings are found at the end of each fortress and castles, respectively.

A two-player mode is available, and the second player plays as Luigi normally through the stages alongside Mario. This mode can only be played with two Nintendo 3DS consoles and two game cards. Another mode, the Coin Rush, challenges the player to collect the most coins they can in three randomly-selected levels through three different options. The Mushroom opition will choose three levels from the starter worlds and a special world, the Fire Flower option chooses three levels from the middle worlds and the Star opition choose three levels from the final worlds. In other words, Mushroom is the easy difficulty choice, Fire Flower is the medium choice and Star is the hard choice. The game's overall objective is to collect a million coins. Downloadable content will be available just after the launch of the game.

Trivia

  • In 'New Super Mario Bros. 2, the Super Leaf gives Luigi honey-colored ears and a different tail, resembling a Japanese fox (a kitsune) rather than a raccoon, similar to Super Mario 3D Land.
  • A special 'Gold Coin' cartridge case is available to those who preorder the game in Europe at GAME.co.uk or at EB Games in Australia[42].
  • Nintendo considered this game to be called New Super Mario Bros. Gold, but due to some of the over 80 stages being said to stand on their own outside the coin theme of the game, the game was renamed to New Super Mario Bros. 2. [43]
  • Interestingly, both handheld New Super Mario Bros. games have been released around the same time as the variation of the handheld on which they were released (i.e. New Super Mario Bros. was released around the same time as the Nintendo DS Lite, and New Super Mario Bros. 2 was released around the same time as the Nintendo 3DS XL).
  • Unlike other New Super Mario Bros. games the main game of New Super Mario Bros. 2 ends at World 6, with 3 special Worlds.
