New Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japanese: New スーパーマリオブラザーズ 2, Hepburn: Nyū Sūpā Mario Burazāzu Tsū) is an exciting platforming video game. It is the follow-up to New Super Mario Bros. which was released on the Nintendo DS. This game came out on the Nintendo 3DS in Japan on July 28, 2012. It then arrived in Europe on August 17, 2012, and in North America on August 19, 2012.

Unlike many other Mario games, New Super Mario Bros. 2 puts a huge focus on collecting coins. The main goal, as explained by Nintendo's former president Satoru Iwata, is to gather a whopping million coins!

What is New Super Mario Bros. 2?

This game is a classic side-scrolling platformer. You control Mario or his brother Luigi as they run, jump, and stomp on enemies. Your adventure takes you through many different worlds. Each world has unique levels filled with challenges. The main aim is to reach the flagpole at the end of each stage.

Collecting Coins: The Main Goal

In New Super Mario Bros. 2, coins are everywhere! You can find them in blocks, hidden pipes, and even by defeating enemies. Some special power-ups also help you get more coins. For example, the Gold Flower turns enemies into coins when you hit them. There are also special Gold Rings that make enemies drop even more coins. The game even tracks your total coin count. This makes collecting coins a fun challenge.

Fun Power-Ups

Mario and Luigi can use many cool power-ups to help them on their journey.

  • The Super Mushroom makes you bigger and stronger.
  • The Fire Flower lets you throw fireballs at enemies.
  • The Super Leaf transforms you into Raccoon Mario. This allows you to fly for a short time and tail whip enemies.
  • The Gold Flower is new to this game. It lets you shoot golden fireballs that turn blocks and enemies into coins.
  • The Mega Mushroom makes you huge. You can smash through almost anything in your path.

Playing with Friends

New Super Mario Bros. 2 also offers a fun multiplayer mode. You can team up with a friend to play through the entire game. One player controls Mario and the other controls Luigi. Working together can make it easier to collect coins and defeat bosses. It adds a whole new level of fun to the adventure.

How the Game Was Made

New Super Mario Bros. 2 was developed by Nintendo EAD Group No. 4. This is a well-known team at Nintendo. They are famous for creating many popular Mario games. Yusuke Amano directed the game, and Takashi Tezuka was one of the producers. The game was designed specifically for the Nintendo 3DS.
