Synopsis

Synopsis
Dive right back into the Mushroom Kingdom for another classic gameplay experience with everyone's favorite characters, Mario and Luigi. Of course, Princess Peach has been kidnapped yet again by the malevolent Bowser, but the bros. have a new and gilded objective to complete: collect as many gold coins as humanly possible. Mushroom Kingdom glows with the light of mountains, caverns and even characters made of gold, and Mario will not rest until Peach is safe and the gold is his.

You can still count on the action-packed fun that the Super Mario bros. franchise always brings to the table, but this time, with added golden opportunities like turning enemies into golden versions of themselves and a gold flower that gives Mario the ability to turn almost anything in his path into gold. This game keeps a running tally of every gold coin you've collected across all the levels so you can monitor your progress. Team up with a friend who can play as Luigi in the new two-player mode that allows you to use wireless Internet to tackle the adventure. Play in Coin Rush mode to see how many coins you can collect across three levels, and then challenge your friends to beat your record with StreetPass. No matter how you play, you'll soon be catching gold coin fever and the only cure is to grab your 3DS and play more New Super Mario Bros. 2.

Features

  • Bowser has once again kidnapped Princess Peach and Mario must save her, but this time Mario has the additional objective of collecting as many gold coins as possible
  • Traverse the Mushroom Kingdom #&151; each level is brimming with gold as coins rain down from overhead pipes, trail behind special gold enemies and wait for Mario in secret gold caverns
  • Defeat Bowser and collect coins with a friend in the new two-player multiplayer mode that allows two players who own the game to take on the adventure together as Mario and Luigi using local wireless (additional consoles may be required, not included)
  • Reach for every new golden opportunity such as gold rings that turn enemies into gold versions of themselves and a gold flower that gives Mario the ability to turn almost anything in his path into coins
  • Take on the challenge of Coin Rush mode that allows players to collect as many coins as possible across three levels and challenge friends to beat their record via StreetPass
  • Fly and soar across hidden areas with the return of fan-favorite Raccoon Mario

Posted by: from Henderson, TN on 05/18/2013You know what you're getting here. This series is fun and very addictive. The new coin-collecting feature here is what really sets it apart from past entries. It's a joy to complete some of these challenges.

I love Mario!!!

Posted by: from Potomac Falls, VA on 05/17/2013I've always loved playing Mario and this game was great. I thought it was a bit short but I didn't mind because it has another option where you can play random worlds to collect coins. Save your star coins because you're going to need them to open another world.

Posted by: from Omaha on 05/10/2013bought 2 of these games so my girlfriend and i could play together and they were just so much fun. although it is a lot of fun, it is a bit too easy and i know its for kids but it still could have been a bit harder.

Pretty difficult for a child.

Posted by: from Bronx, NY on 05/09/2013I'm 34 and I had trouble completing the game. My niece could never finish the game and she is 10. Besides that, the game is great. I am an 80's baby, so Mario is my favorite. The Mario series has gotten so much better. And on the 3DS, it's even better than ever.

Another amazing martio title

Posted by: from on 04/14/2013The 'all gold' feature of this game really isn't a big deal - but I guess it puts a nice spin on the game. This title is fun play and is GREAT for co-op! The story is the same is always and you will often find yourself losing lives from silly things.
