《New 超級瑪利歐兄弟2:：金幣衝衝衝》（New Super Mario Bros. 2）是由任天堂開發並發行的首款3DS瑪利歐系列遊戲，於2012年推出。第一代的「New 超級瑪利歐兄弟」於Nintendo DS主機推出發售，在很短的時間內全球累計銷售已經高達2,909萬片以上；2009年「新超級瑪利歐兄弟Wii」於Wii主機發售，全球累計銷售更達2,626萬套以上。此次推出的2代遊戲，共有80種以上的關卡，可以由兩台主機及兩套遊戲同時進行挑戰。

故事描述瑪利歐和路易吉在城堡中與碧姬公主（Peach）聊著冒險的趣事，兩人離開後準備專心收集金幣。沒想到庫巴與手下們突然出現抓走碧姬公主。於是瑪利歐和路易吉再次踏上旅程，準備從庫巴和他的手下拯救被綁架的碧姬公主。與系列的其他遊戲類似，故事相對簡單，主要是作為一個背景框架。必須穿越多個世界，對抗庫巴的孩子們和各種敵人，最終面對庫巴，成功解救公主。

延續2D橫向卷軸平台遊戲的經典玩法，同時也加入一些新的機制和挑戰，特別強調「收集金幣」的要素。操作和系列傳統保持一致，控制瑪利歐或路易吉在不同關卡中移動、跳躍和攻擊敵人。可以使用不同的道具來幫助通過關卡，例如經典的「火焰花」，可以讓瑪利歐發射火球來擊敗敵人；「狸貓葉」則讓瑪利歐變身成狸貓瑪利歐，讓他可以短暫飛行和用尾巴攻擊敵人。此外，本作新增一種道具「金幣花」，當拿到這個道具後，火球會變成金色，能將擊中的物體變成金幣，進一步強化遊戲的金幣收集主題。還可以變身巨大或超小模式輾壓或進入隱藏地點。

關卡設計上，包含多個不同主題的世界，有世界1:原野、世界2:沙漠、世界三:海洋與森林、世界4:冰原、世界5:天空，此外還有許多不同的舞台。每個世界都由數個小關卡組成，挑戰通過這些關卡，避開或擊敗敵人，並找到隱藏的路徑和秘密道具。與前作類似，有許多隱藏地區，可以找到隱藏的星幣和秘密出口，進而解鎖額外的關卡或通道。這次的亮點在於「金幣衝衝衝模式」，連續挑戰三個隨機挑選的關卡，當成功通關後就能記錄所獲得的金幣數量，通常限定的時間比正常關卡還少。遊戲中充滿大量金幣，且每個關卡中都有很多獲得金幣的方法，目標是收集一百萬枚金幣取得金色瑪利歐。這個要素為遊戲添加長期的收集挑戰，讓玩家在完成故事後仍然有目標可追求。

在市場評價方面，《New 超級瑪利歐兄弟 2》受到良好的反響，特別是對其經典平台玩法的延續和改進得到讚賞。專業機構認為整體的控制簡單且流暢，讓新手和老玩家都能輕鬆上手。金幣收集的元素被認為是本作的一個創新，使得遊戲增加挑戰性和重玩價值。不過，也有一些評論認為遊戲的創新元素不夠多，與系列前作相比變化不大，導致部分玩家可能會覺得遊戲體驗差。

總體來說，這是一款優秀的2D平台遊戲，延續瑪利歐系列的經典魅力，並加入有趣的金幣收集機制。儘管其創新性有所限制，但其豐富的關卡設計和高重玩性使它成為任天堂3DS平台上一款受歡迎的作品。

New Super Mario Bros. 2: Coin Rush is a game developed and published by Nintendo, released in 2012 as the first Mario series game for the 3DS. The first installment of the New Super Mario Bros. series was launched for the Nintendo DS, quickly reaching global sales of over 29.09 million copies. In 2009, New Super Mario Bros. Wii for the Wii console achieved cumulative global sales of 26.26 million units. The sequel introduced in this installment features over 80 levels, with the option for two players to challenge these stages simultaneously using two systems and two game copies.

The story revolves around Mario and Luigi chatting with Princess Peach in the castle about their past adventures. After leaving, they focus on collecting coins, but Bowser and his minions suddenly appear and kidnap Princess Peach. Mario and Luigi embark on yet another journey to rescue her from Bowser and his crew. Like other games in the series, the plot is relatively simple, serving mainly as a background for the adventure. Players must travel through various worlds, battling Bowser’s children and numerous enemies, before facing Bowser himself to rescue the princess.

The gameplay continues the classic 2D side-scrolling platform style, but also introduces new mechanics and challenges, with a particular emphasis on coin collection. The controls remain consistent with series traditions, allowing players to move, jump, and attack enemies as Mario or Luigi across different levels. Various power-ups are available to help players progress, such as the iconic Fire Flower, which allows Mario to throw fireballs at enemies, and the Super Leaf, which transforms Mario into Tanooki Mario, enabling him to glide briefly and use his tail to attack foes. A new power-up, the Gold Flower, turns fireballs into golden ones, which can turn objects into coins, further enhancing the game's coin-collecting theme. Additionally, Mario can transform into giant or micro versions, crushing obstacles or entering hidden areas.

In terms of level design, the game features multiple worlds with different themes, including World 1: Plains, World 2: Desert, World 3: Ocean and Forest, World 4: Ice Fields, and World 5: Sky. Each world is composed of several sub-levels, and the player must navigate these levels, avoiding or defeating enemies, and discovering hidden paths and secret items. Like previous games, there are many hidden areas where players can find star coins and secret exits, unlocking additional levels or pathways. One of the game's standout features is the "Coin Rush" mode, where players challenge three randomly selected levels consecutively. After completing them, the total number of coins collected is recorded, and the time limit in these stages is shorter than in normal levels.

The game is packed with coins, and each level offers numerous ways to collect them. The goal is to gather a total of one million coins to unlock the special Gold Mario. This element adds a long-term collection challenge, giving players something to strive for even after completing the main story.

In terms of market reception, New Super Mario Bros. 2 received positive reviews, particularly for its continuation and refinement of the classic platforming gameplay. Reviewers praised the simple and fluid controls, which made the game accessible for both new and veteran players. The coin-collecting element was seen as a refreshing innovation that added extra challenge and replay value. However, some critics felt that the game didn’t introduce enough new features, with little change compared to previous installments, which could leave some players feeling the experience was too familiar.

Overall, New Super Mario Bros. 2 is an excellent 2D platformer that preserves the classic charm of the Mario series while introducing a fun coin-collecting mechanic. Though its innovation may be somewhat limited, its rich level design and high replay value make it one of the more popular titles on the Nintendo 3DS platform.
