Gotta say it looks a fair bit better than I was expecting. Though I'm still not really "getting" it... So, the hook is there's lots of coins? I guess that's kinda cool, but how's it really make the game better? And this and NSMB U within a few months of each other just seems like overkill.

Game looks fun, but too easy with all of those 1ups handed to you like that.

[Nintendoga]

I just hope there's a way to turn off the coin sound. Because that's going to get annoying real quick.

Not really. Just because you get a lot of lives deasn't change how difficult the level design will be. All it does is make sure you don't get a stupid game over screen, get booted out to the menu, and have to go reselect whatever level you would have been replaying had you not gamed over anyway.

Which just proves how pointless lives, and therefore coins as well, are now.

So why haven't they gotten rid of lives yet?

EDIT: Whoops beaten

[speedfreak]

Because then the awesome 1-Up jingle would be dead.

If they are going to make coins relatively useless, they might as well convert the coins for a different usage other than lives.

Hell, I'll go out on a limb and say they should use the coins as a means to use a different ability.

Get 50 coins, and you can activate the Mario Cyclone!
Hold down a certain button to rapidly spin in place, pulling in enemies who wander too close! Or tap it while in locomotion to becoming a pseudo twister; hold the control stick left or right to move!

Nintendo seems to be pushing that Mario is very busy collecting coins while saving Peach, I really hope that they put some thought into why collecting coins is of equal importance to saving Peach.

Becasue this time it was Wario who kidnapped her instead of Bowser and you have to buy her back.

[Ekaje]

I just thought of something. If they wanted to make a game about coins so bad, why didn't they make a Wario game?

EDIT: A Wario platformer.

Or maybe Peach now charges Mario everytime he asks for a 1up.( hidden meaning)

He is busy with his new Wii U game.

Because Mario sells more.

[Cola]

Well, at least they're embracing the coin overdose. Seems like an interesting gimmick, but I'd like to see where those coins go.

I hope the level design is balls-hard to compensate.

Coin-collecting mayhem?

Super Mario Bros. 3 powerups and aesthetics? Big Land?

My god. We're summoning Coin Ships.

You forgot Renzor

[Nintendoga]

Well since Rayman 3DS got delayed again, I'll be getting this since my 3DS is in dire need of a good 2D platformer.

Btw, I wonder if Renzor in this game is like how Boom-Boom was to SM3DL? ...Female Renzors?

I have a strong feeling that NSMB2 takes strong cues from NSMB in that each world has a different end level boss

[Scheming Minor]

When I first saw this, the fastest thing that came to my mind was "Isn't this Wario's department?"

Then I got excited thinking about Wario being the final boss. Then I found out that Bowser is the boss and I died inside.

Then I thought about Wario being in multiplayer, which rose my hopes again.

Then I remembered that Nintendo hasn't done anything original with the New Super Mario Bros. multiplayer characters at all.

Finally I cried into my Mario pillow.

It's been so years since I've played NSMB DS, completely forgot that they had different bosses.
