New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)

I've played New Super Mario Bros. 2 a lot before, and recently fully completed the game. Here's what I have to say.

Gameplay
Much like New Super Mario Bros., New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U, it's a side-scrolling game, which I appreciate. Some obstacles are a bit annoying to navigate. 7/10 for me.

Visuals
Because of the Nintendo 3DS' visuals, it's alright. The 2.5D aspect, which has been present in the games mentioned above, is really great, as it's half 2D, half 3D. 7.5/10 for me.

Music
Not much to say here, as the music is just a remade version of the New Super Mario Bros. Wii music. 4/10 for me.

Challenge
The main objective of the game is... coins. Just collecting coins. 1,000,000 coins, and then 9,999,999 coins. That's the whole point of the game. Collecting those damn golden coins! It's not a good challenge. 2/10 for me.

Power-ups
The power-ups added to the game are the Tanooki leaf (with the white Tanooki leaf), as well as the gold/silver flower, which makes Mario (or Luigi) make brick blocks turn into coins. This goes with hitting enemies, as you get coins from them. They are really good and feel amazing, as they were present in Super Mario Bros. 3 (1990) and Super Mario 3D Land (2011). 8/10 for me.

Overall
Overall, the game is alright. After its launch in 2012, people have just forgotten about this game. But I kept playing since I got it, and I'm finally done it. I give this game a 7 out of 10.
