New Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japanese: New スーパーマリオブラザーズ 2 Hepburn: Nyū Sūpā Mario Burazāzu Tsū?) is a 2012 side-scrolling platformer video game in the Super Mario series developed by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS handheld console. The game is a direct sequel to the 2006 Nintendo DS game New Super Mario Bros., and is the first Nintendo-published game to be released simultaneously in both digital and physical forms.
The game's plot is similar to its predecessors, focusing on Mario and Luigi's efforts to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser and the Koopalings. New Super Mario Bros. 2 has a heavier emphasis on coin-collecting than other Super Mario games, with multiple unique items dedicated to producing large amounts of coins. The game features a specialized mode called "Coin Rush" that focuses exclusively on quickly completing a series of stages while collecting as many coins as possible. Additional Coin Rush stages were made available for purchase as downloadable content shortly after the game's release.
