New Super Mario Brothers 2 is a very good game on a technical level, but falls short of satisfying because it feels far too similar to other games in the series. Super Mario 3D Land was able to try new things with 3D Mario gameplay, but NSMB2 really doesn’t do anything new, and as a result, isn’t able to usurp 3D Land as the Mario game to own.

At the end of the day New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a good game, plain and simple. With solid visuals, familiar but tight gameplay, and that famed “Mario-esque” sound, you really can’t go wrong. That being said, I am sure some people may argue it brings nothing new or innovative to the franchise, and in many ways they are right, but in the end it is a good game, and that is what matters.
