New Super Mario Bros. 2: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

''New Super Mario Bros 2'' is the second sequel to ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', following ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' in that regard. The first NSMB was ''the'' side-scrolling Mario title for the [[Nintendo DS]], just as NSMBWii was for the [[Wii]], and now NSMB2 fills the same role for the [[Nintendo 3DS]].

Most notably, the game's existence was leaked in early 2012 [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/120127/03.html among various (typically Nintendo-like) sales charts], as well as through [~~http~~://~~www~~.supermario4.com a registered -- and vague -- domain name/HTML address] as soon as in April in the same year. Later in the same month, Nintendo confirmed the game's actual title, as well as a worldwide near-simultaneous release date for August 2012. Despite the unlikeliness of such a quick development cycle, this stunt is still impressive.

Known information so far includes (but is not limited to) further throwbacks to ''[[Super Mario Bros 3]]'' (akin to ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart|Mario Kart 7]]'') -- namely, Raccoon Mario's first polygonal appearance<ref> (if you're nitpicky, it's the second one following the Raccoon Mario trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros Melee]]'')</ref> (just as ''3D Land'' did the same for Tanooki Mario) as well as the classic P-Charge Bar featured in ''Bros. 3''.
