NSMB2 looks really samey. The Wii U version seems to have some cool stuff going on with its environments and music.

As a whole the NSMB games have pretty run of the mill music, and that's always a shame. I wasn't pleased to hear more generica when NSMBU was "revealed", but I did see one level with really nice music. I'll link it later. It seems like its the sky level from the show though.

Edit: And though NSMB usually has very average to sub-average music, there were some standout tracks from NSMBW. Oh and ironically, I rather like the NSMB theme, but it's overstayed it's welcome at this point.

I was very happy with Mario 3D Land's main theme. It reminded me a lot of both Super Mario 3 (which it took some parts from) and Super Mario 64.

Koopalings and Co-op confirmed? Did we know about co-op?

Is it local and wi-fi, or local only?

@sirmastersephiroth
That they haven't said yet.

@PogueSquadron
I'm almost certain that the music is new. It's quite similar but not exactly the same.

@anon_mastermind

If that beachy music isn't EXACTLY the same, it's very close. I distinctly remember it because it sounded more appropriate for a Mario Kart game. That's the same song. I'll pull it up if I get a chance.

The beach music of NSMB2 is the same composition as the beach music in NSMBWii, if it isn't the exact same tune.

Same deal with NSMB2's desert:

And underground theme. And the tower theme. If they aren't using the same exact MIDI files here, they are so very similar that only side-by-side comparisons would reveal the differences.

@PogueSquadron@Mop it up
Yeah, you'e right actually. The sound effects fooled me into thinking it was a different arrangement. BTW Mop that desert music is with the Yoshi drums.

That's a shame. I know it's a new game and everything, but it's things like this that just make it seem like an expansion pack for another game.

Let's wait and see. Last E3, I remember being pissed that Mario Kart 7 used samples from Mario Kart Wii, but thankfully it turned out otherwise in the end.

My sister and I rolled our eyes when we saw the coin gimmick. Seems like it would get old very fast.
