Gaming New Super Mario Bros 2: Official Hype Thread

[RupeeClock]

Finally got a streetpass hit for NSMB2 today, two actually.
Two players called Nicole and Debbie, played the Mushroom pack. You don't see their record until you clear their challenge.
I challenged their records and did well, 10684 and 10624 respectively, they both played 1-A and 1-5, but then had a different fortress for each run.
Nicoles record turned out to be just 2090, Debbie scrounged up only 730. To make matters worse, they used White Raccoon Mario too.

I think they're gonna flip when they see my 30,000 coin rush record, haha.
I think I'll try their challenges as White Raccoon Mario, see if I can do better even with the handicap.

Raccoon Mario handicaps you D:?

Think about it.
Perma-invincibility, no kicking koopa shells or jumping off goombas.
Severely limits your prospects after jumping through a gold ring.

You also won't get to use a Gold Flower, if you're beaten the game.

How did you get that much?!

I think Super Mario 3D Land's better

It definitely is, but NSMB2 stands on its own as a good title too.

Got tired of grinding. I now have 3.5m+ coins. The 9,999,999 coin rumor has to wait some more.

Hmm, twice as many as I have at the moment.
I'd still like to try for 9,999,999 coins but whatever.

It's Interesting that Nintendo didn't put anything in the Manual about the consequences for using the Invincibility leaf. I suppose it was wishful thinking to expect to consequences for actions users may take in the game, to be put in the manual. That is classic Nintendo.

The White Raccoon Suit is basically the YOU SUCK suit anyway. For some people, they couldn't possibly earn more coins without it.

Fun fact, White Raccoon Mario can walk on water, just like Mini Mario. I cannot think of the actual need for this except for one specific level in the game, which was designed for Mini Mario.

Does anyone know if you need to beat the star worlds to go from three to five stars? As in, if I have three now, can I get four stars without the need of getting the moon coins in the star world? I'm asking because right now I have three from lives, all star coins, and beating the game. However, I've followed IGN's guide to see which areas should be accessible once using secret exits, and I have all of them available.

I think you also get one star for finding each exit AND beating every level, so yeah. You have to beat star world.

So the 9,999,999 rumor is true.

You get another

Still aiming for that.

 

[YoshiKart]

9,999,999 coin reward STILL has no love for Luigi.
Oh well. Guess I'll aim for that slowly and steadily.

 

[broitsak]

I have about 16,000 now
