It's probably just for decoration.
I hope boost rush mode is an endless highscore thing. I guess a stage with a goal with incentive to beat your best time is cool too though.

Another pic with Miis watching in the background, being Nosey Nancys. Hope they're not in the Witness Protection Program, or the wrong person might see them. (I bet these are Miis of people in your friend list)

• Three Yoshi variations
• Pink Yoshi: inflated with a GamePad/Wiimote shake
• This can take Mario even higher than the flying suit can
• Pink Yoshis don’t help in horizontal movement
• Large surface area useful for collecting a bunch of airborne coins
• Gold Yoshi: shake the controller to light up the immediate area
• Also stuns nearby enemies
• Gold Yoshis show up in the Fire Snake Caverns
• Blue Yoshi: can shoot bubbles
• Can ride the adult version of Yoshi in numerous levels
• Yoshi can still eat breaks
• Collect five to fill a meter
• This rewards Yoshi’s rider with a power-up
• Camera pans out a bit in co-op
• This helps you see hidden star coins and pipes that you normally wouldn’t come across in single-player
• Boost Mode: Place up to four floating platforms at a time
• Use the GamePad touch screen in Boost Mode to pop friends out of bubbles, stun enemies, make it easier to reach the flagpole, manipulate environmental objects, swat Paratroopas
• Turn on Boost Mode by powering up the GamePad – that’s it
• Players will go through pre-selected packs of levels in Boost Rush Mode
• Collecting coins makes the auto-scroll faster
• Limited amount of lives given at the start of each pack
• Dying doesn’t reset the clock

I agree with that for sure. Cannot wait for NSMBU though, going to be so much fun using the game pad.

Actually I would mostly consider New Super Mario Bros. a modern version of the original simply because they reused a bunch of the basic level structures the NES game had.

it is epic

pretty hard to see the mii at the top left corner lol

I didn't even notice that until I saw someone else mention it on the article! What in Peach's name are you doing up there? Unclimb that tree, mii!

Um, guys, is this $100 everywhere? Guy at GameStop said it was because it's a special kind of disc. For that kinda mony, this should have been the game to center around coins!

It's $60, that's just a placeholder. Some appear to only be $50, like Rayman Legends and Rabbids Land.

It is a Mario game after all.
