01Overview

New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a side-scrolling 2.5D platform game for the Nintendo 3DS. As the direct sequel to New Super Mario Bros., it is an indirect follow-up to New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The game's main focus is on coins, with the primary goal being to collect one million. To reach the goal, the game includes many new items to aid the player, such as the Gold Flower, which turns Mario into Gold Mario. Gold Mario throws gold fireballs that turn bricks and enemies into coins, and a Gold Ring turns every enemy it touches into a gold version that drops coins. Power-ups from earlier games, such as the Super Mushroom, Fire Flower and Super Leaf, also appear. Each level hides three Star Coins, and the player reaches a flagpole at the end of each course. Mario and Luigi can play together in two-player co-op through local wireless play. Coin Rush mode has the player run through three courses in a row on a single life while collecting as many coins as possible, and results can be shared with other players. Additional Coin Rush course packs were released as downloadable content.
