Do you dislike NSMB2?

I'd say I just beat New Super Mario Bros 2. Beat every level, got every star coin and visited every shop... but the game doesn't tell me I got them all and I still have 7 star coins left to spend.... I'm not sure if that's supposed to happen. Checked all maps too. Oh well.
 
It feels like a hack of NSMBWii with a Tanooki Leaf and lots of coins, but it was fun. The most memorable thing is all the koopalings at once turning you to stone with a flash in the final level, but I'll remember little else probably.

I think this game was hated because it came out at a bad time of sanitized Mario, but it's not horrible. Just a fun level pack. Star world levels were fun too, but bland compared to the star worlds of the other games, because they feel more like normal levels you see in other worlds rather than something gimmicky, or with at least a background color change or something.

I played it once, but the only thing I really remember was that I needed the golden leaf helper power up at the Bowser fight. It just felt kinda forgettable. I've heard that some of the DLC is interesting, but I didn't like the base game enough to give it a try.

That's a really good way to describe the game.

I don't dislike NSMB2, but I wasn't wowed by it either.

I didn't have a 3DS until relatively recently. I finished NSMB2 in early 2024, and I found it to be a decent experience. But in a world where NSMB Wii already exists, there wasn't much that made NSMB2 feel special.

I found the areas with ludicrous amounts of coins to be rather amusing, though.

Course clear! You got a card.

I like the game. Although, it's my least favorite of the New Super Mario Bros. games (especially compared to New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U). It's still fun to play, though.
