New Super Mario Bros. 2 VS Ethan (Race 87)
1i finally accepted how really shameful and unacceptable products relative to their budget being this bad are. mindless fun is one thing, but this subtracts fun from that famous little phrase. endless auto scrolling, nothing new anywhere in any meaningful or even unmeaningful way. having to explore every inch of a level to get what would just be the unexplored designs of previous games is pathetic and embarrassing. ugly, nostalgia/money driven tripe with no redeeming qualities. i genuinely believe it is a 1 out of 10 off princeiple alone, but if you try to rate it as a product on its own i would give the same score. raise your fucking standards, stop settling and dont be afraid of coming off as a snob just because other people dont like hearing negativity about their stupid fucking favorite brands and logos. entertainment and what you consume is one of the few things you do have choice over in this fucking life jesus man have some dignity.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[a] is a 2D side-scrolling platform video game in the New Super Mario Bros. series developed by Nintendo EAD Group No. 4 and published by Nintendo for its Nintendo 3DS handheld video game console, being released first in Japan on July 28, 2012. It is the first Nintendo-published game to be released simultaneously in both downloadable and physical forms.
New Super Mario Bros. 2's plot is similar to its predecessors, focusing on Mario and Luigi's efforts to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser and the Koopalings. It has a heavier emphasis on coin-collecting than other Super Mario games, with multiple unique items dedicated to producing large numbers of coins. The game features a specialized mode called "Coin Rush", which focuses exclusively on quickly completing a series of stages while collecting as many coins as possible. Additional Coin Rush stages were made available for purchase as downloadable content shortly after the game's release.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 features nine worlds that consist of six main worlds and three special worlds. Those worlds total 81 complete levels,[1] many of which have multiple exits to unlock more areas in the game to play and explore.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its level design, gameplay, and graphics, but criticizing its low difficulty and similarity to the earlier New Super Mario Bros. games. New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the fifth best-selling game for the Nintendo 3DS, with 13.41 million copies sold worldwide as of September 30, 2022.
A follow-up to the game and a sequel to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, titled New Super Mario Bros. U, was released as a launch title for the Wii U on November 18, 2012.
