lowkey getting mad at people hating nsmb2 because fuck you mean the shitty little bowser Jr fight is sovl but Reznor is evil 2010's mario slop. I'm going to start a diologue.

(Side note, yes, I even liked NSMB2 (tho it's definitely the weakest of the NSMB games, I won't deny that), bite me)

nsmb2 & u bringing back random shit from mario world but none of the gameplay mechanics people love about it is funny to me
the ability to kick items up? varied secret exits? seamless map? different yoshi power ups? nope. fuck you. you get reznors, the background crystal, and one singular 3 up moon

And after this they really dont do that again. As much as nsmbu and 3d world are considered generic they have loads of new guys and new power ups and ideas.

Nsmb2 is like a unprocessed fully mandated mario media.

NSMB2 is like fascinating because it’s structurally sound and well designed but I don’t think it has a single new idea of any note whatsoever, maybe truly the most iterative Mario game made?
September 28, 2026 at 8:14 PM
I'm remembering a Youtube trailer for NSMB2 back in 2012 that showed off Reznor.

Someone commented "Reznor's back and better than ever!" And then someone replied with, "more like back and exactly the same" and I still think about that after all this time.

I feel like nsmb2 specifically is the game that really proves mario needs new things. Its a game of entirely old ideas and generally regarded as the worst of the bunch because of it.

Black Ops, NSMB2 and Oneshot on the same list

This is why i fw you lil dude

15. NSMB2
Is this a Wario game? Your goal here is not incredible platforming feats but raking in as much bling as possible. The levels are jam-packed with coins, and you want 'em all. There's even a power that turns enemies into coins. It's fine, but the usual level of Mario polish is missing.

Ever wanted to hear someone flap their gums about Coin Rush from NSMB2 for 8 minutes?

Then I've got just the thing for you! Come find out why it's some of the coolest side content in Mario history! Enjoy:

i’m in solidarity with you. they’re all good, though nsmb2 is my favorite of them

Yeah, it was the mix of timing and also just how iterative these particular entries were.

- NSMBU was just more NSMBW with slightly changed visuals, in a year that ALREADY had NSMB2 on 3DS, which was visually identical to NSMBW.
-3D World is way better than 3D Land, but looks and plays very similar
Something a little less talked about with Wii U failure is how iterative and soon the major games were

Mario Wii - Mario U = 3 years
3D Land - 3D World = 2 years
Mario Kart 7 - Mario Kart 8 = 3 years
DK Returns - Tropical Freeze = 4 years

Most normal people were like "I already played this game"

Just unlocked NSMB2 level 4-🌈 while on a whole other sidequest, unintentionally unlocking it.

I don't pay any attention to the timer, so when I did it I was so confused. #newsupermariobros2

like genuinely not even NSMB2 expecting you to Just Know that you should save all your big coins for the postgame is this evil
September 14, 2026 at 12:39 AM
bonus points for nsmbu coming out a couple months after nsmb2, leading to even more fatigue over very similar games
September 12, 2026 at 10:37 AM
NSMB2 werkt ook 🥳
September 10, 2026 at 8:47 PM
I absolutely did NOT expect to hear BowieZ's old fanmade theme for NSMB2 from 18 years ago
September 7, 2026 at 11:22 AM
Exactly

My biggest critique of NSMB2 is that I felt the mushroom and fireflower worlds were really not the most necessary, and can have been replaced by other types of world

The sparkly, colourful void thing really only worked best for the star world imo
September 7, 2026 at 1:16 AM
My favs are probably NSMBW and NSMB2
September 7, 2026 at 1:11 AM
Have you played NSMB2 on the 3DS?
September 7, 2026 at 1:04 AM
New NSMB2 Any% PB during my marathon run at @gamersforhope.bsky.social along with an NSMB1+2 Any% PB!!

Also I got burner clip for the first time in a run and it had to be during a marathon run (same as reward in NSLUDX which I pulled off at Prevent-A-Thon 5)
September 6, 2026 at 12:45 PM
all the NSMB games being 8.6 except NSMB2 is really fascinating to me

Having a late (eepy) start today, so stream will be towards 4pm EDT or after!

We're starting NSMB2 today! I decided the play order is NSMB2->U Deluxe->NewerDS Mod->NewerWii Mod!

See you all later!!

oh, it's NSMB2's (English) birthday today, too

NSMB2, the 3DS XL, and Nintendo's first digital retail game all dropping on my birthday way back when was a sign
