Topic: New Super Mario Bros 2

....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.

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.

~Green cubes of movement shall hinder the way, be patient and follow to end up where you may~

Caution! Hints on how to unlock 1-Cannon

Hint: 1- Fortress.
Hint 2: Through a door.
Hint 3: Follow the green.

How to get loads of coins!

Go to level 5-A.
Kick a koopa shell in the Gold Thing,
Play this level all day.
And activate the big gold ring.

Thanks for the awesome hints guys, gonna give this a shot now

I'd just rather find the secrets on my own, that's all.

Stuck again. I'm on world 6. got all the big coins on all levels apart from this last level I cant get too because its on a secret island

Any idea's what level I need to search to find the secret passage to get to the small island?

I'm thinking there's a hidden passage somewhere on the haunted house level, then after you find it and do the level. mario will jump from the haunted house onto the big head bones and then from there jumps on to the secret island.

I'm currently halfway through the 3rd world,and again it's a really fun game,way better than the previous 2 efforts.
I'm hoping it'll get harder,though..

Can you play as Luigi in the single player mode?Like you could in the original.

yeah, u just hold the two bumper buttons on the title screen i think..

Anyway, figured out my problem and have since had this wonderful message come up saying all coins collected. I spent ages looking for all them big coins.

Now i just need to do complete star world, get 10000000000 coins and do the rainbow level on each world then that's it 100% completed.

Only after all that, I will focus on coin rush mode and will be whooping some records. :

2 more hours for me...had a somewhat bad day (headache, lol) and fell asleep. Waiting for something is a pain...xD

Random thought I just had: I think the event of the Princess geting captured repeatedly is some sort of time loop, but spread out in different alternate universes where some have had kidnappings and some didn't, since it's referenced in Super Mario Sunshine how Peach get's captured more than once. Because surely, a kingdom/high power isn't dumb enough to let it happen far too many times right?...

Whatever the case, how dare people make fun of the recurring plot, it's clearly more complex!

Mario Plot: More elaborate than you might think.

looks at imaginary watch
ALRIGHT its midnight, where's my game?! T.T
Oh....ok then. downloads xD

One more hour for me.

Woooo, it really did release at midnight. Can't wait to freaking play this.

I'm downloading it right now! I'm so hyped!

I logged onto the eShop at exactly midnight, I live in Pennsylvania. Downloading it right now, can't wait!

Took me only 20 minutes. :3
goes to play game in bed xD

I guess I'm gonna be one of the people whose download takes 45 minutes to an hour. Been at it since about 10-15 after and I'm barely at 40%.
