Our favourite Italian jumps into action himself and goes currency- crazy in New Super Mario Bros 2.
The first title sold 29 million units and this sequel looks set to become
another Nintendo system shifter.
This entry sees Mario saving the Mushroom Kingdom from an influx of coins that litter each world as well as continue his ongoing quest to rescue the princess.
Players can now complete the whole side-scrolling adventure in the two-player co-operative multiplayer using local wireless, playing as Mario and Luigi. Much like New Super Mario Bros Wii, players will need to keep up with each other as the camera follows the player in front. A new Coin Rush mode allows users to collect as many coins as possible in a single life. Running across three levels, all 1-up mushrooms and items are replaced with coins as players rush to get as many as possible with scores being shared via StreetPass. Nintendo no doubt hopes New Super Mario Bros 2follows the success of the first DS game, which has managed to shift 29 million units worldwide so far. This sequel is sure to be another Nintendo system seller.
