What the hell are you talking about...
If you're anti-Nintendo what are you doing on this site?
If you score a game 9/10 when you hate Nintendo - they're obviously doing something very right.
The link to Pushsquare is down there. Cya.

That's just it, though. A pointless star, no actual reward.

The 9 he scored it with is for the general audience,
his personal score however would probably be about a 2.

Even though i'm not the biggest fan of the samo samo NSMB series, NSMB2 still looks
like a winner. Can't knock the series in the platforming/level design and control department. It's fantastic stuff.

You know Wario stars in games with TREASURES Not just gold, right? So it isn't a bad thing that he isn't in this game.

I'm I the only one who was a little sad when going through world 4 and not getting to have a Penguin Suit?

Though I love your idea of it unlocking a Wario costume, is it really so bad not to have a reward? Playing games is about the experience, not about the end result.

When does anyone think the DLC levels will start popping up? Reggie had said that the developers hadn't been making them yet, but I think they are now that the game has been out for more than a week. I wonder what they'll look like?

I hope we get the eReader levels from SMA4 SMB3

I'm too lazy to go and find a facepalm image but.. Facepalm

Having now spent significant time with Mario's newest "New" adventure — I have 225,000 coins and have completed 2 save files 100% and working on my 3rd — I have some good and bad things to say about my experience.

We'll start with the good here: I have enjoyed the coin gimmick. Something about that little ticker that counts every single piece of gold I collect in the game is awesome. Sure, you can't spend them on anything and everyone by now has spoiled the fact that you only get a new title screen for collecting a million but I WANT that title screen! BAD.(end spoils) And aiding me in my coin-grabbing bonanza to unlock it has been the golden flower, a power-up which I've loved. There's something amazingly satisfying about being able to rip through a stage and make everything around you explode into cold, hard cash.

Now we'll talk about what I consider to the the biggest down point: The things that were taken out from the previous game. I played through the first world of NSMBW today just to kind of compare the two and it's astounding the amount of things that were left out of NSMB2 that made the Wii version so great. For example, in NSMBW, enemies roam the map in each world, threatening to throw you into an mini-endurance round at every turn; the maps in NSMB2 are barren aside from the occasional flying coin block. Another thing that was erroneously dropped between games were the toad rescue challenges that squeezed tons of replayability into each world. They could have used both of those sidebar opportunities to shower you in coins and make the long trek to a million more interesting, but instead they just left them out for no good reason.

Bottom line: Have I enjoyed NSMB2? Sure, it's been fun and there have been a few small ideas scattered about that I've found brilliant. Could the game have been more? Yes, it definitely could have, because we have proof of that in the previous one.

Would have been nice to to get something other than a "Wow, you actually did it...um...good for you!" though.

Despite what you may think - you dont show sarcasm very well through text on the internet.

Hmm, that's odd. I saw it very clearly as sarcasm. I think you're the only one who didn't get it man.

I may just be stupid and missing something obvious, but there is just one level I have yet to unlock, and that is the World 2 Cannon. I've found all of the other secret exits just fine, but I just can't seem to find the one in the World 2 ghost house. Does anyone know where it is?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just figured it out! And I guess it wasn't a cannon after all, I just assumed it would be one.

Well, it may be just me being bad at platformers, but this game is actually quite hard! (at least harder than NSMB and SM3DL).
Getting all the big coins is proving to be a fun challange!

Other than the no auto-saving (I ask..why?), my experience so far with the game, which to be fair is the first two levels, has been joyous.

I thought it was pretty obvious.

I just streetpassed a guy that I know works at EB Games. His coin rush starts with 2-4, so obviously it's probably a really good score. I missed the first flag pole, but kept playing it anyway, and wound up with a lousy 14,000 expecting to lose. Turned out he only had 2000 coins, because he played with white raccoon Mario, lol. I wish I could see the expression on his face when he gets to the end of my 2-4 coin rush (with his white raccoon Mario no doubt) and sees my score.

Haha, well done. I've only tried Coin Rush a couple times, and kinda sucked at it. But I'll get into it more once I complete the main mode, which I'm also taking my time with to make it last since it's the last game I will have bought for myself this year (barring possible games I could get for Christmas).

Ok I might have missed this somewhere but how come when I finish a level sometimes a winged gold brick appears flying over the level on the world map.
