I’d pretty sure it’s called 2 because it’s meant to be a direct sequel to the DS game, whereas U is a sequel to Wii
My thoughts exactly.
You sure? Lol
@@zeroxenoverse9251 Alparently Super Mario 3 is a sequel to Super Mario Bross and Super Mario Bross 2: The Lost Levels (not Doki Doki Panic).
And appaeently Super Mario World is a sequel of Super Mario Bross 3.
Obviously.
Yeah but 3 would have made more sense. Especially because of the fact that the game has the tanooki leaf. The powerup from *Super Mario Bros. 3*
Which is ironic because it's generally far more similar to the Wii game than the DS one.
Character-wise, the coin collecting gimmick would work better with Wario.
Yeah it would even fit with its original name being New Super Mario Bros GOLD
Good one, it would have made even more sense
well then it would be just wario land, because thats literally what its about
That’s genius, you should work at Nintendo
Like someone else said it would be like Wario land
New Super Mario Bros. 2 is pretty solid actually. I really like the new dry goombas and piranha plants as well as the snake blocks present in a lot of levels. It's cool to see snake blocks in world 1, for example.
The level design is quite creative, especially in Worlds Mushroom, Flower, and Star. I'm surprised more people don't talk about the golden totem level in World 2 more. That's right up there with the sewer levels from DS and Wii and the Van Gogh levels from NSMBU and NSLU in terms of aesthetic. Also, the flashing clown car with the Koopalings that can turn you to stone in the final castle and the Star world castle is so unique. And I like the auto runner cannon levels.
Really, my only issue with the game is that it's much too easy.
Did you try any of the dlc levels? You'll wanna Smash your 2ds lmao
@@greenkoopa Oh, yeah, I beat every pack except the impossible pack. I can beat the first underwater level pretty consistently, but I've only beaten the second level once or twice. I've never made it past the third level.
AND THEY NEVER USE THE DRY GOOMBAS AGAIN!!!
@@marianokaz1503 Dry Gomba's??
@@StevenJones851 The blue ones that have skulls on them.
I played this game so often when I was a kid. I always saw the cannons but never understood their function. Then one day I saw a video of GameXPlain (xD) playing the cannon-level and it was awesome🤣 Btw this was a very good video!
Me to! Most underrated GAME of all time
Yeah it’s a decent game, pretty fun to go back to every now and then but personally I prefer 3d land
Same!
Dude same. Love how we all had the same questions
@@Joosher56 3D Land is pretty good
i still believe this game has some of the best level design in the series. if it only had original level aesthetics i believe itd be held as one of the best.
Yeah it had some good level Designs
But reusing assets is cheaper
My favorite was all of the very diverse backgrounds
I loved this game! Although the levels had a bunch of reused aspects, the level design itself was really good and it’s a lot of fun just to blaze through it
I still hope someday we get a new 2D Mario game that’s unique like the 3D mario games!
Like odissey and sunshine
i’m hoping we get something like that as the hype for the movie gets closer but im not holding my breath😭
@@0ctoberrr ehhh id say we are pretty close to the next entry so just wait it out lmfao
@@AL3X2PAC oh boy, how right you were
@@ferrangarcia1289 im always right about everything,like how i was right about my girlfriend wanting to break my heart
As a recent WR holder for the NSMB2 100% category, it is a very addictive game!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like this game could have been more, but Nintendo just didn’t push it enough. Also, I feel like the gold gimmick removes the idea of risk - it is basically impossible to get a game over.
BTW - you seriously need more subs and views. Your videos are awesome and very professional!
great video, i don't remember much about playing this game but all i remember is i loved the coin collecting and final battle, i guess i never beat world 9 when I played it and i kinda regret that now because that final level looks insane
Not even nostalgia can defend this game for me because I thought it was bad when i was 10💀
I always loved this game, cool to see I'm not alone.
I also very love your videos! You explain very well your points :)
I really enjoyed new super mario bros 2, there were many nights I'd crack open my 3ds while my parents were asleep and just, have fun. I remember when I finally got those 90 star coins and unlocked the star world, I had been looking forever for levels that had star coins that I didn't collect. And that one night when I discovered an infinite lives method, it was amazing. As for the name, I feel like 2 means 2nd new super mario bros game on a ds, not in the series.
Another notable thing about this game that I discussed with my cousin recently is that yeah, the scenery and atmosphere is really similar to NSMB WII’s, it makes up for it by being *much* more colourful and vibrant, which I actually enjoy seeing. The most obvious comparison in contrast for me is the in game backgrounds of the snowy areas. Wii’s is kinda grey and bleak like it would be in real life, 2’s made use of all sorts of different shades of blue. Great video, thanks for making it!
Yet another banger of a video, keep up the good work!
I will always be biased to this game because of nostalgia. I remember finding that final boss completely impossible for years, and how excited I was when I finally did it.
Your content is wayyy underrated btw how do you not have like 10k more subs
wow. 8:08 is simply fantastic, i probably rewound that section like 10 times. (love the video too)
This Game was my Childhood, I remember me and my friends racing to complete the game first, some of my best Memories!
You forgot to mention the rainbow stages unlock if you match the two digits in the timer from each world
This was an amazing video. The best and most relatable take I’ve seen. On one side I think it’s lack of originality is upsetting, and I hate how they took the Koopalings (my favorite Mario characters) and gave them lame uninspired fights. But in the other hand, I love busting out my 3ds and doing some coin collecting. It’s a fun game, really. I think 7/10 is the the friggin perfect score for this game. Bravo amazing vid
This game was my first serious game in general, not to mention my first Mario game, so I have a lot of nostalgia for it
I really enjoyed the release of NSMB2 after playing tons of the original NSMB DS when I was 13.
8 years later, while it's infamous for the lack of originality I still find it fun, appreciate the art style, and the accapella remixes.
While I’ve never played NSMB2, I remember watching SiloHawk’s video on it and I love the backgrounds of the levels; they’re weirdly creative compared to the other games imo. Also I love the bahs in the main theme for some reason
In my opinion it's definitely a solid game and satisfying by collecting all those coins
As a kid I really loved this game. Going back and playing it after finding my 3ds after years I still have no complaints. I went in with the mindset of if it’s not broke don’t fix it and I still had a blast
damn, i never played this game but ive played nsmb wii and & wii u. I definitely should give this game a try! Awesome video as always
be sure to give ds and luigi u a try, in my opinion they're the best in the series
I remember getting it as a freebie for my 3DS because 3D Land wasn't available. I still feel dumb for getting it over Black 2/White 2, Triple deluxe or Dream team. The game was uninspired and the coin collecting felt like a cheap gacha mechanic who made the game not punish your mistakes. It was just not a memorable game. I agree with you on the cannon levels though, they were actually fun, same for the mini mushroom one, but those are only 4 levels.
Bro this vid was very good you deserve more subs
this was my first ever mario game comparing it to U weegee U and new (nsmb1) its an amazing game
The New Super Mario Bros. 2, along with Sonic Generations and Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, is the game that got me to ask for a Nintendo 3DS for Christmas in 2012. And I enjoyed all three (Mario is the only one of them I have beaten).
This particular game was my childhood. Mario Wonder brings me back
I love the New Super Mario Bros. series. I believe i've actually played all of the New Super Mario Bros. games, because i know my third oldest brother had a DSI and NSMBDS, my two oldest brothers had a Wii and NSMBW, and a LONG time after my family (well, most of us) moved out of the Maysfield house, which is what we called the house that i believe my dad inherited from his dad, we moved into the Travis house, which is what we called the house that we moved into after we moved out of the Maysfield house. One Christmas, i got a 2DS which came with an SD card that had NSMB2 downloaded onto it. And finally, the latest NSMB game i've played was NSMBUD, but frankly, i think that NSMBUD and NSMBU are basically just the same game, but with a few differences.
Amazing review! You got me back into it lmao
8:52 I wasn't looking and thought you got confused with Sonic then I looked and saw what you were talking about...dang it looks like a Sonic ring lmao
Not that I don’t care about the majority of the fans not liking this particular game, but I love this, yes - game mechanics were repeated, music was recycled, design, powerups, levels are almost not that different - but people are forgetting, that’s what made people love the NSMB series. People ask for it, Nintendo gives it.
Now, just patiently waiting on the movie this yr, either the new 2d mario game or odyssey 2.
PS. Still hoping a remastered version of Galaxy 2 in switch.
Great video though! I agree in all aspects you explained. Hope to see more of this!
Would you ever consider covering the Newer hack for Wii? Ik it's unofficial, but it would still be interesting!
This is my favorite game in the series 👀
Solid fun platformer to pick up and play
I just got the gold edition and I love the coin rush levels!
This game is pretty good for me, it brings back a lot of forgotten enemies and adds new variants too, like bone goomba or bone poranha plant
This Game Clearly Showed what new Ideas can Bring to a Game the Basic Gimmick being the Same but with a New Power up in that Series that really only feels like that exact thing the Gold Flower being it’s main new Power up to Crush the Money bosses next I bet it’s New Super Mario Bros Bussiness Edition be the Next in the Series
It really says a lot that when I used one of the remixed songs of this game in a UA-cam video I got claimed for the Wii version. Not even Nintendo could distinguish between the two games.
The developers were definitely drunk off the success of NSMB and NSMB Wii. Its a good game with a few interesting ideas and great level design, but it most definitely borrowed way to many ideas-and especially assets-from its predecessor.
i remember getting 10k coins in the gold classics pack. it was the only one i had. but i had to be a young dumb and write over it with a smaller coin count...
New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the only NSMB Game where Mario could look Up.
Maybe it’s just me, but I LOVED that the soundtrack was pulled from NSMB Wii! When the game first came out, obviously Switch didn’t exist yet, so the 3DS/DS was my only handheld. I felt like I had a handheld version of NSMB Wii with this game! Now that NSMB U Deluxe exists on Switch, some of that special handheld magic for this game is definitely less, but it was great for younger me!
I remember playing new super Mario mods 2 on the 3DS a lot when i was younger. It was great
15:00 Also in world star, Star coins were changed to Moon Coins 🌙
Way before Odyssey
I remember only like 2 or 3 stages had the new fire gold Mario power up that turns block into coins. I was disappointed with this one because I remember the one for DS was more fun especially the mini games.
This game is still nostalgic by the way 🥺
Next 2d Mario game needs unlockable outfits that do things or characters that you get by earning and spending a lot of coins
I loved the coins in this game it really made it fun and replay able. I still have it and I’ll never let go of it :)
I love the bowser level
Only gripe with this game is that it’s too short!
I do like it a little better than 3D Land since it has a couple more things you can do.
I know the map themes for World Mushroom, Flower, and Star are one of the few original tracks of this game, but what is the fourth original track? It cannot be the red toad house theme as that was ripped from Super Mario 3D Land.
I think it’s the Koopaling boss theme.
@@quangamershyguyyz7166 No, that one is ripped from New Soup Wii.
Yeah, honestly coin rush alone kinda makes me prefer NSMB2 over NSMB, plus the tanooki suit is always awesome. It’s also nice to have a game where grabbing every coin sorta feels like it matters..it’s something new to do/play with in the levels, at least. I mean, it feels new at least because of the way they do it.
It isn’t as good as Wii or U/DX and not as original as NSMB, but it’s still a good game. Lazy, but fun, and with some good ideas.
*Racoon suit
"say hello... to Bone Bowser" i was expecting you to be like "ahem, sorry. Dry Bowser." to be honest because that's his name.
You made a 20 minutes long video feel like a hour straight documentary
0:36 I always called them NSMB DS, NSMB Wii, and NSMB 3Ds. Way easier to tell them apart and I’m surprised Nintendo didn’t do this, sounds like something they’d do
I love how you brought up Andre from GameXplain lmao
I think some people were just salty we got two NSMB games in one year. I think they would have gotten a better reputation if not for that. But these games are over 10 years old now, and I think it's time for Nintendo to revisit this sub-series for a new installment.
The only nsmb 2 levels I can remember off the top of my head are final bowser and the dark pyramid one with the mario 3 fire snakes
I got a spesial edition 2ds with this game, which is the reason this is my favorite Mario game (it was my first Mario game ever)
I Will always prefer DS Castle soundtrack rather than the song that appears since Wii. But the final boss soundtrack since Wii is gorgeous
The level design in this game is bizzare in a great way. It’s definitely the “Lost Levels” of the NSMB series
I actually like the reusing of stages, just as long as there is something to define it. I was 6 back in 1988 when I got my first NES. I had the 3 pack with the Super Mario, Duck Hunt, and the track game and had the power pad thing. I grew up with Mario and just love it. Even if they release a Mario game I am not a fan of, I will definitely play it just because. I’m talking about you Mario Sunshine
New Super Mario Bros 2 feels like it was titled at last second, it should've been named Super Mario: Treasure Rush and also have a different plot then same overused save the girl plot. It's main selling point was coins but the game had absolutely no reason for these bits of yellow other than a quick gimmick.
The original name for the game was apparently “New Super Mario Bros Gold”.
I will now use Kamek's basement as a euphemism for hell from now on.
I was like 6 at Disney world when this game came out, bugged my parents about it the whole trip🤣 beat the game before we even got home from the trip!
When you were showing off the DLC levels selection screen how come it was Green?
I love playing this game when I was 7 years old it was so much fun now I just think it’s decent
3:59
my younger self feels called out
Little story, I was in a toys r us store, and I was going to get a game, and I was between this and dream team, and I was really thinking about it, since I had Paper jam already and I thought, maybe I should try something new, bad decision I did, I didn't knew dream team was good, yes I had fun with new 2, but it got boring after I beated it, even after I beated paper jam I would get entertained doing something else like getting new high scores on the mini games or beat the boss rush over again with new card strategies, I sometimes think it was the worst purchase I've done, and wonder how would've went if I choosed dream team,
AMAZING new video mariomikester :)
Hey! Xenoblade did the same thing with the titles. You get XC2, but it's the 3rd entry.
I was watching this video at School. And then right when it ended, my school blocked UA-cam
My opinion is probably is affected by the fact I didn't play too much of all these games. I've played the first game alot as a kid. Didn't get a chance to play the wii or the wii u ones sadly. And it's only recently that I've played the second one. And I love it! But I can see why people would be kinda bored of some many of the same style of games while also using the same I guess areas? And I know mario does uses alot of the same places alot in his games. But some different Levels with different and entirely new places. That would've been at least get me to get the wii and wii u versions
The name made me think it was going to be a return to Subcon with the ability to play Peach and Toad, as well as Mario and Luigi.
I always just thought that it was called 2, cause it was a sequel the DS game, since it was also on a handheld
One of my favorite 3ds games
As a person who 100% the game as a kid, i had fun with it. I still do to this day when i pick up my 3ds and decide to play a simple 2d platform. Emphasis on the "Simple"
It’s weird hearing a UA-camr say that their childhood game was a game I also grew up with cause it reminds me that I am now an adult
This was my first Mario game so it’s one of my favourites
I think the games do blend in but I also think they are all fun. It's just that I wish they did more with them. Like the wii brought in 4 player Co op. The 3ds brought many coins.... K. And then the wiiu brought HD graphics......
This game is a big slap in the face to Wario Land
This game was my childhood. 😭😭 I remember begging my friend how to unlock Luigi
0:14 true. They could have stopped at the Wii version
as far as ive heard they had a new unexperienced dev team on nsmb2 while the main team focused on nsmbu, so you can see why everything felt a bit weird
The best in the NSMB series IMO. Gold Mario, Tanooki suit, coins coins and more coins, it’s an absolute blast!
Nintendo found the perfect formula for 2D Mario with the “New” series, so the fact that they’re all similar games is something I generally regard as a good thing.
It’s just a shame that this one can’t be played on the big screen in co-op like the others can.
I wish I could know if there was an alternate universe that had a more unique concept for this game.
The giant Mushroom last a couple of seconds and is only in a few levels
Bro was hitting the griddy 💀
I wouldn’t call Iggy’s fight identical, more so a progression of the idea
Especially since this game is holding itself as a sequel of sorts
The NSMB2 fight feels like a downgrade of the NSMB2 fight, though. It’s placed earlier in the game, and the arena itself isn’t as challenging to navigate.
I'd argue 2 is the best, while yes themes do return its a lot more rounded out than it was in wii and ds like the megamushroom is actually clearly used and isn't an underwhelming gimmick and this might be the only one where the mini mushroom actually has a neat level based around it yes there's the generic level themes like 1-4 is the sky but if I get this correctly its also where the gold rings are introduced plus the coins are fun to collect
2s the best? Are you serious? The abundance of coins trivialised the game, reducing any presence of a challenge. Your points about the megamushroom and mini mushroom are very insignificant. You may have enjoyed subjectively but objectively it is by far the worst
Although i love 2 it's not really the best i'd placed it in C tier if i was ranking it
@@rajgus7638 i mean life's were never a problem in any if the new super games you didn't really get punishes for getting a game over so getting life's easily isn't really a fair critism to me plus like I said the levels are wayyy more rounded out and unique but that's my opinion
@@Raddish-IS-Radd OK thats true, lives were never really a problem before. Yes it's still your opinion but I'm still baffled at how you think it's the best. I can reasonably understand you liking the levels more than ds and wii, there are some cool gimmicks and design elements but it still pales in comparison to U and LuigiU
@@rajgus7638 idk maybe because 2 was the first one I 100% completed (so I had played it the most), but I found luigi u a little boring for all the complaints the games get for reusing stuff luigi u doesn't do much different aside from the levels which i understand why people like them, they just don't leave much of an impression because as soon as something cool happens the level is over, 2 has that perfect balance for me I wanna nab as many coins as possible it has the best gimmick levels, best special levels and best replay value (aside from gaining all the star coins), and that's at least something different with this game compared to the rest of them although yes luigi u is better at having a personality because of the unique levels and the luigi physics, I still like nsmb 2 simply because the coins are fun to get and like I said it has the most replay value but I mean it's your opinion if you like luigi u go ahead and like it I just think 2 is better at most of the things the other games do (although all them have their own strengths and weaknesses)
I loved it so much I got a 5 star save file and 1,000,000 coins
It was honestly golden.
*crickets*
This was the first Mario game I ever played on the 3ds
This is my favorite nsmb game, and one of my favorite Mario games... It's a shame to see one of your favourite games shat on and then everyone agrees
the models in this game look better than any other!
tbh I’ve always had a soft spot for NSMB2. the levels are fun, and i just really enjoyed it tbh
I am so mad that this game didn’t get enough love, I loved this game & I thought it was one of the best games in the Mario series, it is in my top 2.
There’s another new super Mario bros game that was fan made called Newer super Mario bros DS and Wii and the game brings a blend of nostalgia and new
When I was a kid and this game came out I was so excited my father was gonna buy it for me….. when the day came to get the game I was showering at the time and I was so damn excited I ran out the shower ran out the bathroom and slipped while naked and my older brother yelled at me 😂😂 because it was a lot of noise I was making screaming of excitement 😂 ( I think I graded my towel I’m not sure, it probably fell off when I slipped)
