'''''New Super Mario Bros. 2''''' is a side-scrolling platform game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. It was released in Japan on July 28th, [[2012]], in Europe on August 17th, in Australia on August 18th and in North America on August 19th, while in Italy the game was separately released on August 24 for the retail cartridge. It's the thirteenth title in the main ''[[Super Mario (series)|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. Like ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the game 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. It also combines elements from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', as this is a follow-up to those games.<ref name="NWRAnnounce">[http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/29903 New Super Mario Bros. 2 Confirmed - Nintendo World Report]</ref> This game is so far the only one of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' sub-series to not include [[Bowser Jr.]]


According to Nintendo, ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' is the first Nintendo game (and specifically the first ''Mario'' title) to be available for purchase in both packaged (retail) and digital (downloadable via the [[Nintendo 3DS#Nintendo eShop|Nintendo eShop]]) versions. The game can be stored onto an SD card, along with multiple other games, and be played on the Nintendo 3DS, but they cannot be shared with other Nintendo 3DS handhelds.<ref name="Nintendo's digital download service"/> This game is based around [[coin]]s, and the game's overall goal is to collect one million of them.

==Story==
[[File:NSMB2 KoopaClown.png|thumb|250px|The Koopalings kidnapping Princess Peach while riding the Koopa Clown Car.]]
Standing on the balcony of her [[Princess Peach's Castle|castle]], [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] wave goodbye to [[Princess Peach]] to go on a coin hunt in their [[Raccoon Mario|raccoon suits]]. 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 lose their raccoon power-ups. [[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 in a cage. As they are about to free her, the now-empty 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. He attempts to use his massive hands to destroy the path, but the bros. still manage to climb up and press a giant ! Switch. The giant Bowser then falls through the floor, and the princess is released from her cage, and rewards each Bro. with a kiss on the nose. Then, everyone returns home, with Mario holding Peach in his arms and Luigi following closely behind, collecting coins along the way.

LIFE TO DATE RANKING


The 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 a plenty of coins at once, such as golden items that award the player with them. Like ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the bottom screen displays a kind of map, showing the length of the level and where the player is. There are nine worlds: six main worlds and three special worlds. The item storage reappears too. 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.

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, 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.

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 option will choose three levels from amongst Worlds 1, 2, and Mushroom; the Fire Flower option chooses three levels from amongst Worlds 3, 4, and Flower; and the Star option choose three levels from amongst Worlds 5, 6, and Star.

==References to Other Games==
*''[[Mario Bros.]]'': Round 1 is remade as part of the Classic Courses Pack.
*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': In the first phase of Bowser's and Dry Bowser's battles, Bowser throws sledgehammers and breathes fire, and Mario must wait for him to jump then get past him, very much alike to this game. 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 [[P-Meter]], [[Jump Block]]s and [[Wooden Block]]s return. The [[P-Wing]] makes a cameo, replacing the "P" icon of the P-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 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.
**''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 World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'': The Koopalings in the final battle aided Bowser by spraying magic from their scepters in a manner similar to Kamek in ''Yoshi's Island''.
*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': [[Whomp]]s and [[Scuttle Bug]]s return. The [[Wall Jump]], [[Double Jump]], and [[Triple Jump]] return.
*''[[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|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.
*''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'': Bowser is fought as a giant in the background, just as he was in this game.
*''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'': The Toads' reaction to a raccoon tail whip (by spinning around happily) is reused from the Toads' reaction to a [[Spin|Star Spin]] in this game.
*''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'': Another sequel to this game. Numerous elements from the game return. The music and graphic style 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.
*''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'': The [[Super Leaf]] retains its look from this game, as it did in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. The [[Invincibility Leaf]] also returns, as does the [[Assist Block]]. [[Peepa]]s, [[Coin Coffer]]s and [[Goomba Tower]]s return. [[Toad House]]s use the same music as in this game, which, in itself, is a remix of the theme from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. 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.
*''[[Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time]]'': The [[100 Gold Coin]] makes a reappearance in this game, this time it is based on its appearance in ''Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time''.
 
==References in Later Games==
*''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'': The [[Note Block]] makes the same sound effect in this game, [[Boost Rush]] is similar to [[Coin Rush]], when the player plans in the form of [[P-Acorn | Power Squirrel Mario]] heard the same sound effect when [[P-Meter]] is full (when the player is [[Raccoon Mario]]).
