@vic. This thread is called "New Super Mario Bros. 2 is not what I want". If you didn't want to hear it, gtfo.


And I'm telling the reasons why NSMB2 is what I want.

PART 2

This next screenshot is certainly enough to get excited about, as it heralds the return of the P-Wing and Raccoon Mario from Super Mario Bros. 3. In fact, this image seems to indicate that New Super 2 will be drawing heavily from the legacy of SMB3 - which most definitely is a good thing. Unlike the more limited abilities of Tanooki Mario from Super Mario 3D Land, Raccoon Mario is able to fly high into the air then slowly float down. When this ability is gained via the P-wing, which you can see an icon for at the bottom-left of the screen, Mario is able to soar through the sky for an unlimited period of time (at least until he's hit by an enemy).

The power meter (which you can see beside the P-Wing icon) is also returning from Super Mario Bros. 3. This bar measures how much power Mario has built up by running without stopping. When this meter is full, it allows the plumber to fly as Raccoon Mario. In SMB3, the P-Wing power-up keeps this meter full at all times. One final note about this screenshot pertains to that big, blue block to the right.
As you can see, that block bears a striking resemblance to the colored blocks from SMB3 (which you can see in the screenshot above). Does this mean we'll be able to sink behind the level once more, and maybe even nab a Warp Whistle from a helpful Toad? Only time will tell.


Good read, but your profile pic total weirds me out.
