happydolphin said: And you are more than welcome to, but none of this crap: "A much better read than endless ramblings." For part 2, alot of that we had noticed, many of us are long-time fans. The blocks with the screws in them were in the DS and Wii versions too. I liked part 2 better because the pic associated to it was much better (despite the grass). For DS (forgive the blurry shot):

Did you even played the game? This shot was not in the DS game...

Looks beta or fan made (hack) stuff. More chances of the latter.

They were, in fact, in 3D Land

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.

Dude, don't be a tard. I played the game but certainly not as much as I did SMB or SMB3. So yeah, I don't know if it was there or not. I get my screenshots from google, like most other people.

I know, bad choice, but it's a space ship cosplay, the only I found ... :(

 I love your pic, though... I'll change mine to a pixelated sprite soon enough!

BTW, this is not my text, it's IGN's

PART 3 and 4:

^Not much new here. Man am I the only one not impressed?? Shot 2 is okay, but shot 1 is aweful.

I think the writer made some great points about the screens, but forgot one I'm most intrigued.

I'm really excited about the background in the last screen, it could make some gameplay variations... like moving blocks from the background into the foreground.

@dolphin

Sorry, that was really way more offensive than I wished to be. Apologies.

^It's okay buddy. I'm just in a really aweful mood today and just needed to vent my Nintendo frustration once for good. I think I might be done with 2D, 2D/3D hybrid Mario though...

I never said those games were not "good" but they could be better, they can take that extra step to make it really special. but these games will sell well no matter what, so their is no incentive for them to take that extra step. Thats the point, nothing really wrong with that, its buisness, i still plan on getting Blops2(i like Treyarch) and this Mario game

^As long as people know what they're getting, I'm fine with it. But don't come telling me this is the path to awesomeness!!!

Mind you, Rol's post was very sensible, and possibly in terms of gameplay my mind may equal to blown. But when it comes to the graphics, and Rol also touched on that, but if it's what we have there, my mind will not be equal to blown, that will be my 3DS. (i kid)

The fact that asking if SMB2 is right for you, starting off with "Not what I want", arguing its graphics is lackluster, misinterpreting "Awesomeness" with high visual representation, clearly shows this game is actually not right for you. Sales and Awesomeness is subjective. You're overthinking the series; and you already have your mind set
