Too easy and lacking innovation. Luckily, Coin Rush makes up for a lot.
After the fantastic New Super Mario Bros. Wii, I was looking forward to a new installment, namely New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the Nintendo 3DS. In this game, everything revolves around coins. There's a special power-up, and throughout each level, there are plenty of hidden items that can help you collect extra coins. The ultimate goal is to collect 1 million coins. I can already tell you, this is quite a task!

In older Mario games, I usually didn't care much for those coins. Whenever I hit a question mark block and a coin came out instead of a power-up, it was always a bit disappointing. In New Super Mario Bros. 2, things were supposed to be different. Emphasis on "supposed to be." While playing the game, I didn't really feel like those coins were more important than before. Maybe you have to try to get 1 million coins, but why? There's not really a reason for it. And when you do reach that 1 million mark, nothing really special happens. Additionally, because the levels are now filled with coins, the extra lives come way too easily, making the game EVEN easier.

The very low difficulty level bothered me a lot. But the fact that the game lacks innovation bothered me even more. Apart from the new Gold Flower and a few new items, the game feels like something you've played before. Don't expect new backgrounds or new tunes. Quite lazy of Nintendo!

What is new in New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the game mode Coin Rush. Here, you are presented with three random levels where you have to collect as many coins as possible within a limited time. It's quite addictive because you keep trying to beat your own record or that of people you've encountered through StreetPass. Coin Rush is also much more challenging than the main game. Trying to collect as many coins as possible as quickly as possible can lead to making silly mistakes. Nevertheless, Coin Rush is a fun addition that raises the score I would give to this game.

Not innovative enough.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a good game in terms of gameplay, but in the series, it falls short. It lacks innovation entirely. The only addition is the extra goal of collecting 1 million coins. But that's all there is to it. The new Power-up (Golden Flower), Golden Block on Mario's head, Golden ring... Maybe a bit too much gold.

The lack of innovation extends to the music as well. It's actually borrowed from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, just slightly different. The level design also closely resembles the Wii version. It's a fun game, but it falls just short in all aspects to deserve the "New" in its title.
Read more...

On the bright side, the multiplayer is enjoyable. The downside is that it tends to lag at times. However, the multiplayer is better than that of NSMB, as you can play through the entire game with two players.

As for the DLC of this game... Well, it's not really DLC. They are just level packs with 3 small levels each. The easy ones are too easy, and the hard ones are too hard. The "Gold Rush" pack is worth downloading. It's free and gives you a taste of the other packs. Not much in terms of special content.

NSMB2 is a fun game but lacks innovation. I would have liked to see more new elements. The game is on the easier side, and the DLC for Coin Rush (which is more challenging and interesting) doesn't offer much either. Only buy NSMB2 if you are a true fan of the New series or if you haven't played NSMB(Wii) yet.

Similar to Super Mario Bros
If you've played another New Super Mario Bros game, it feels like you're playing the same thing, it's still fun, but there's nothing new.

The same kind of levels, the same kind of worlds, the same kind of story, the same kind of enemies. If you thought the other games were boring, you'll think the same of this one, but if you enjoyed the other games and want more, I definitely recommend this "Nothing New Super Mario Bros. 2".

New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a very fun game, but unfortunately lacks some innovation.
New Super Mario Bros. 2, like many Mario games, is very enjoyable to play. Let me start with the positive points:
1. The graphics look really great.
2. The levels in the worlds are very fun to play.
Read more...
3. Coin Rush is a cleverly designed option that you can play with two players.

Despite all these positive points, I do have a few criticisms:
1. Despite the levels and worlds being very enjoyable, there is very little innovation.
2. The story, as often is the case with Mario Bros games, unfortunately remains the same, meaning Bowser kidnaps Peach and holds her captive in castles with the goal of rescuing her from Bowser and his minions.

All in all, this is another successful Mario game that I would still recommend to Mario enthusiasts due to the beautiful graphics, the fun levels in the worlds, and the Coin Rush multiplayer option. However, if one is looking for more innovation, they might want to pass on this game, as it lacks significant new features.

Surely fun, but not innovative enough
New Super Mario Bros. 2 is definitely a fun game, but if you've played the other games in the series, this one isn't as innovative and actually a bit more of the same as previous installations. In this game, it's all about coins. The goal is to collect a million coins, in addition to, of course, rescuing Princess Peach once again.
I recommend this game, especially if you haven't played the other games yet. This platformer will keep you entertained for a while.

Not bad, but there are better Mario (Bros.) games out there
When it comes to Mario Bros. games, it's almost always the case that if you've played one, you've played them all. They often differ very little from each other. Sometimes there are small innovations, like new outfits with new skills, but the levels are often quite similar.

What's new in this game, however, is that you have to collect 1 million coins. You also get a lot more coins everywhere. The level design is decent overall. Not the best in the series, but certainly not bad. Personally, I'm not a big fan of 2D games, so I would recommend Super Mario 3D Land over New Super Mario Bros. 2.

You can play together in this game via local play, but you'll need multiple 3DS/2DS consoles. In my opinion, Mario Bros. isn't really fun to play alone. I would recommend the Wii version. With this one, you can easily play with 2-4 players, making Mario Bros. much more enjoyable. You can collaborate to get through the level. If someone falls, another player can rescue them, and as long as the rest of the team is still in the game, the level doesn't end.

Not really groundbreaking
New Super Mario Bros. 2 isn't exactly a new game, it all looks very much like the New Super Mario Bros Wii game. I don't know what they could have improved, but the title "new" doesn't quite fit. There are some golden items and small DLCs, but the levels and music are simply still the same. It's more Mario, so if that's what you're looking for, then go for the game. Want something new? Then wait a little longer!

It's quite fun, but I'd rather buy Super Mario 3D Land
New Super Mario Bros. 2 is not bad. I like it because Raccoon-Mario is my favorite power-up. What's not so great about the game is that it doesn't offer much that's new, and it feels similar to its predecessors. Personally, I find Super Mario 3D Land more enjoyable because it has real 3D effects, which this one unfortunately lacks.
I give the game a 6 because Coin Rush is quite fun.

Great platformer!
New Super Mario Bros. 2 is truly a great 2D platformer. Perhaps one of the best on the Nintendo 3DS. Personally, I had so much fun with this game, from completing it to collecting all the stars. I just really appreciate the level design in this game, it's truly excellent and very entertaining. The only downside is that the end bosses are once again the Koopalings, and they always seem a bit too easy. There's also a challenge once you've finished the game. You have to collect 1,000,000 coins. If you manage to do that, you'll unlock a new start screen. Additionally, there's Local Play, which allows you to play together with someone who also has the game, and you can go through the levels as Mario & Luigi.

Nothing groundbreaking
This game is strikingly similar to New Super Mario Bros. 2, the only difference being your main objective is to collect 1 million coins. You can now move from left to right and from front to back as well.
The 3D effect is nice but nothing particularly special.

Same principle, but little innovation.
The few innovations are quite disappointing. Nintendo is usually the strongest in this area, but with New Super Mario Bros. 2, it's just a bit less. If you really love New Super Mario Bros. DS, then I do recommend this one, or if you're interested in the new coin rush mode, a mode where you have to try to collect as many coins as possible in a limited time in 3 levels. If you want a Mario platformer on your 3DS (and happen to love Super Mario Galaxy (2)), then I really recommend Super Mario 3D Land!

Success!
New Super Mario Bros. 2 seems identical to its predecessor on the DS, except now the goal is to collect 1 million coins while playing, and that's quite a challenge. The concept is fun, but in the end, it doesn't add much value.

The levels are original and enjoyable, with plenty of boss fights, many enemies, and new power-ups. The extra features in the game, like the DLCs, are fantastic and give the game an exciting twist.

Nintendo has definitely succeeded in creating a fun Mario Bros. game for the 3DS!

All in all a decent game, but lacks innovation.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a fun game... However, it falls a bit short compared to the other Mario games. This is due to the lack of innovation, and I find the game to be on the smaller side (I personally finished the game in 1-3 days after a lot of playing), but apart from that, it's just a fun game! Still recommended in my book!

Coins, coins, and more coins
It's your standard Super Mario Bros. game, but the additional mini-games make it much more enjoyable. Coin Rush provides a way to collect a ton of coins. That's also the main focus of this Mario game. In the story mode itself, there isn't much change apart from the power-ups to collect coins and the Coin Rush mini-game. Overall, New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a fun game.

You can delete the save files, but you can also reset the entire cartridge to make it feel brand new. Just hold down the A, B, X, and Y buttons while starting up the game. You’ll then get a confirmation asking if you want to delete all data. If you go ahead with this, all your collected coins will be wiped as well. A fresh start, indeed!

In the first level of the Star World (you first need to complete New Super Mario Bros. 2), there's a hidden glitch. When you jump on a blue P-switch, several blocks turn into coins.

Often when you jump against a block for coins in New Super Mario Bros. 2, it gets stuck on your head, BUT only for a limited time. Usually, there's a springboard or a trampoline nearby, something that allows you to jump far or high. If you bounce on this a few times, you'll collect coins faster and progress through the level more quickly, saving you time!

Coin Rush is a game mode that is very important in New Super Mario Bros. 2. In this mode, you can play 3 random levels (with only 1 life!) and try to collect as many coins as possible. Nintendo has also released extra packs in the form of DLC (Downloadable Content), which you can purchase through the in-game shop.

When you first start the game, you won’t see a button for 'Coin Rush'. That’s correct; you need to unlock it first. You do this by completing the castle in World 1 of the story mode. Once you’ve done that, you’ll receive a notification that you’ve unlocked Coin Rush. Then you can really go for that 1 million coins!
