''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.

* [[Continuity Nod]]: As seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXppbQwmb0o the Iwata Asks video], [[Super Mario 3D Land|Luigi's Raccoon form still has Kitsune ears and tail]].
* [[Co-Op Multiplayer]]: It can be played with two player, but only through Local Connection.
* [[Development Gag]]: In a sense. "New Super Mario Bros. 2" was the [[Working Title]] for ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.
* [[Gold Fever]]: In some places, you'll have to risk dangerous enemies in order to get coins, or your pursuit of coins might screw you out of getting a special item or something. With the goal being a whole million coins, Mario may not get Gold Fever, [http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/08/e3-2012-new-super-mario-bros-2-greed-is-good but the player might].
* [[Gold Makes Everything Shiny]]: [http://www.mariowiki.com/images/7/7a/NSMB2_screen3.jpg Sparkly golden variations of regular enemies], which reward you with coins upon defeating them.

** [[Lost Woods]]: Confirmed in the first released screenshots.
** [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: Confirmed in the first released screenshots.
* [[X Meets Y]]: The presence of the P-Charge bar alone is enough to declare this game the love child of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros 3]]''.
