There's rarely time to breathe, let alone consider your options. Not that you are able to, as many levels keep the threats coming as you barrel through the stage. Do I dare check the skies for treasure, or stick to the road ahead? The player only has one life to live, so there's no time to dilly dally. Time isn't the only goal collecting a small fortune of golden coins is just as important. A refreshing addition to the series, it forces players to think on their feet, affording them only 99 seconds to reach the awaiting flagpole. While it appears to be pushed off to the side of the primary adventure, it's what has kept me coming back. Admittedly, the "Coins, coins, coins!" hook adds little to the main portion of the game, but it certainly proves itself elsewhere.Ĭoin Rush Mode is, frankly, where it's at. While there's certainly been an abundance of 2D platformers as of late, no one does it like Mario. While the pipes remain green and the Goombas have yet to address their underbites, nothing takes away from the fact that this remains an excellent game. The game just screams fun, and contrary to popular belief, it being the third entry in six years doesn't mean it's a simple retread of what's come before. Secrets are tucked away as deviously as ever, but the beaten path is packed with just as many thrills. While the settings are typical fare, NSMB2's level design is top-notch. 2 needs to make its impression, a challenge the title doesn't take lightly. But this is expected it's in other areas that New Super Mario Bros. Mario's physics and controls have been so fine tuned it should be illegal to overlook them. 2's merit as a contender for the best of the 3DS comes from what it delivered: a noteworthy experience that added more to the Mario formula than it was given credit for.įirst and foremost, it's a side-scrolling Mario game, so right off the bat the thing is in good shape.
Thankfully, the game refuses to be a victim of circumstance.
