Mario Hits the Mushroom Kingdom Jackpot
Bowser has once again kidnapped Princess Peach, but this time, Mario has another objective. The Mushroom Kingdom is bursting with more gold coins than before. Each level is littered with gold as coins rain down from overhead pipes, trails of coins are left behind special gold enemies and gold pipes transport Mario into coin-filled caverns. It's up to players to collect as many coins as possible throughout their adventure.
FEATURES:
- The game records all the coins players collect throughout the game, so completing a level is only part of the fun. Every level is filled with golden opportunities, such as gold rings that turn enemies into valuable gold versions and a Gold Flower that gives Mario the ability to turn almost anything in his path into coins.
- Coin Rush Mode allows players to collect as many coins as possible across three levels and challenge friends to beat their record via StreetPass.
- New Super Mario Bros. 2 is an all-new side-scrolling adventure game featuring Mario and Luigi. Two players who each own the game will have the option to play the entire game in two-player multiplayer mode using local wireless.
- The return of Raccoon Mario gives Mario the ability to fly and access hidden areas.
- Players will have the option to either purchase the game at retail stores or download the entire game through the Nintendo eShop.

Story
At Princess Peach's castle, Mario and Luigi take off in their Raccoon forms to collect coins in the sky, but upon their return, they discover that the Koopalings have kidnapped the princess. Thus, the two set out to rescue her.
Gameplay
New Super Mario Bros. 2 plays similarly to the previous entries in the series. Because of the focus on coins, stages now features more coins than they normally would, and new items and power-ups have been added to help in collecting coins, such as the Gold Flower and Gold Rings, while Raccoon Mario returns as a form with the Super Leaf. The game keeps track of the total amount of collected coins through a counter that is shared between all save files and Coin Rush. Two players with a copy of the game can also play through the main game in a two-player local co-op mode; players share a coin counter and a life counter, and an individual item store; most other mechanics are taken from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
The game also features a new mode, Coin Rush, in which players must travel through three stages within a more strict time limit, collecting as many coins as possible. Losing a life at any point automatically ends the challenge, and players must restart from the beginning of the challenge. Players can also send their recorded Coin Rush record over StreetPass, which allows other players to challenge them. Before playing through a round, players have the option to use standard Mario, or the invincible White Tanooki Mario.
