Nintendo Rewarding Millionaire Coin Collectors In New Super Mario Bros. 2

500 billion.... Wow those gamers love collecting coins

great, do you have to use your last name too?! -_-

wait... it's in Australia

this really needs to come to Europe too; i'd love to have a certificate

Yikes! I'd better get on it!
And I'm glad we get an exclusive for once... Club Ninty AU suck...

Well, first of all I need New Super Mario Bros. 2......

Then I'm going to need to take a few months off.....

I completed this game a little while ago. So, what actually happens in the game if you get 1 million coins? While I was playing it (and thoroughly enjoying it I should add) I was always assuming that all the coin collecting would become important or relevant at some point, but it never happened. It seemed that apart from the 1 million total (which I was so far off even after full completion and had so little interest in getting to), it was all completely pointless.

@Haywired all you get is a new title screen. sucks, I know

I like to imagine Nintendo has a machine to convert those coins into real money.

Or you could just hang the photo of you self and your 1 million coins on the wall, same thing as a certificate with only half the effort.

Too bad they couldn't come up with anything useful for those who have made it to 1 million coins, like, IDK, a free DL pack perhaps?

@rjejr yeah, plus you don't have to give out your personal info! XD

@CaptainMorpheus I wish that was be true, lol

A certificate? That's borderline offensive, Nintendo. Give them a free DLC pack or something, sheeeeesh.

"There's no denying that most of us have checked into therapy to overcome our coin collecting addiction in New Super Mario Bros. 2"

What? I can handle the puns on this website, but hyperbole like this is getting a bit ridiculous. Some of these articles seem to read like Nintendo marketing...

Is this just Australia?? I think it's a pretty neat idea actually! Maybe I'm just a more positive kind of guy but I think it would be a neat thing to collect with the rest of my Nintendo stuff.

Coin Rush = The answer to the world debt crisis.

@Joshers744 yeah, it's probably just Australia. you're not the only one either, I'm a positive person myself too!

Noo!!! What about Europe???

Instead of some certificate, it would be a lot better imo if Nintendo did something similar to when they gave Club Nintendo members here in North America that Mario trophy with Mario , Luigi , Peach , Yoshi , Toad & Bowser on it about I think it was, like a year or almost 2 years ago. Almost like a New Super Mario Bros. 2 themed one in this kind of mini congratulations to all who collected over 1,000,000 coins. Sucks though that all the North American gamers over here don't get nothing for it like how Australian gamers are getting something at least for the efforts. True, I may be a bit jealous, but congrats to anyone in Australia who earned it.

Only two days left to get that one pack for free? Forgot about that, thought it went into February. Still need to pick this game up.... but man I hate DLC. Really hoping they do a Game of the Year Edition for both this and Theatrerhythm with all DLC included. I just really cannot stand buying something that isn't all there.

As for the award, that's nice and all, but I would rather have like 50 free Club Nintendo points or something. Good to see people are playing the game though.

I'm sure those certificates look great on job applications.

Is it for Australia only?

What about the US?

Finally! A exclusive for Nintendo AU!

Also stop your sulking, If you dont like the idea of getting a certificate then dont bother participating... Nintendo NA Has had their good share of exclusives as well.

so all you get is some crappy certificate thing which you are inevitably going to just toss somewhere and forget about? that's really un-inspiring. how about bonus levels, or a whole bonus world in the game, or at least a cool figurine from the game or something.

@CosmiC

I don't think it's more of a thing of sulking about this. I'm just saying like a New Super Mario Bros. 2 themed kind of mini trophy or something close to that would be better. Besides, something like a certificate is a bit easy to have misplaced, lost or destroyed by accident.

I'm only around 100,000 coins. Thanks, but no thanks.

@RupeeClock second extra title screen! now i have something to strive for!

I have my certificate since October... It isn't really new and I am from Germany.

Just translate those 500 billion coins into Yen and Nintendo will be set for life!

500 billion? And only Australia's celebrating? C'mon NOA and NOE, jump on the band wagon why don't ya?

I have more than 1,000,000 coins and let me tell you this, right when your about to get it your all like and stuff but then you realize oh no now I have to get to 9,999,999!!! see what I mean. On my profile I have 5 stars they mean 1: crown lives 1,110 lives 2: all levels done 3: all star coins found 4: I don't remember. 5: I don't remember!
