No reversed cover either. Though to be fair, NOA just wants people to try out NSMB2 as a download, and there's nothing wrong with that, which is one of the reasons I love NOA a lot, even if they make a mess up.

I was counting on the cover to be able to be reversed, now this is super lame.
OF COURSE Nintendo of America.

Still really excited for this game regardless.

Going to go and pick up my copy soon (in Australia).
Apparently EB Games is doing a deal where you get $40 off the XL (which comes out next Thursday) if you buy New Super Mario Bros. 2.
As I've already paid for both, I shall pick up my game and get $40 back.

I got the game for £29.99 from Morrisons,which surprised me,as they're normally quite expensive.
I'm halfway through world 2,and so far,not that bad,even if it is very easy.

Got the game today. I'm actually loving it! Not the most innovative Mario game, sure, but that to me isn't to big of a deal for this game since it is so well made and fun!

Btw, the cover is reversable here in Europe. Shame for you Americans. :/

Anyone know how to get the two secret worlds at the bottom?

I'm looking at the world map on the bottom screen on my 3DS and I have worlds 1-6 that are all on the top row, but there's two worlds below on the world map that cant be unlocked through the normal way of just finishing levels..

Here's a pic I quickly edited:

How do I get access to these two worlds?

I think you have to find hidden exits and access the canon levels.

I have one of them now. I Just need the last secret world on the right below world 3-5. It looks like you get there by world 3, through a cannon I seen on it.

The cannon in world 3, I cant get there and I don't know which level possibly will get me to there.

Here's the pic:

It looks to me like the world you're standing on has a secret exit that leads to the cannon. I personally don't have the game yet (since I'm American) but there are already walkthroughs posted online. I'd check out one of those.

I'm not going to be able to get it till after this weekend, which sucks...

ok, cheers. Will look for a secret place on that level I'm standing on. I'm not looking at the walkthroughs as that takes the fun of out it.

Woah, spoilers.

Finally found here. I had to look for like 20 minutes on each level and i eventually found it,. Really impossible to find. Good luck to you lot, your gonna need it.

NOOOOOOO! This game doesnt look fun.

Caution! Hints on how to find the world 3 cannon.

Hint: World 3-Tower
Hint 2: Warp Pipe
Hint 3:Mini Mushroom
Edit: Wah! Double post, but I've deleted the other one. (Hooray!)

If you're worried about spoilers, I'd stay away from New Super Mario Bros and New Super Mario Bros Wii.

....Who cares about spoilers in a Mario game? xD
(besides the RPGs of course)

If you enjoyed either of the first two NSMB games then it will be plenty fun since it doesn't deviate much from those; however if you didn't like those games, you probably won't like this one either.

Looks like I'm going to have to wait a couple of weeks after NSMB2's release until i get mine bundled with the an XL Blue. For the first time ever, i won't be gettting a 2D SMB game on launch. eek!

Anyways! So how would you guys rate the temporary NSMB trilogy? Where does 2 rank for you boils and ghouls?

I'm having trouble getting to the world 1 cannon! Can anybody give me a hint? I feel better about asking on here than actually looking up a walkthrough.
