When you reach the final boss for New Super Mario Bros 2 you'll notice they recycled the bowser's castle overworld sprite from New Super Mario Bros DS. Not a shocker though, there was many recycled sprites and gameplay... sadly. After pressing "A" you're shown a not-so-exciting level, again, sadly. The stage is 1 minute long, not very long, the game is EASY. You continue walking until... BAM! A recycled phase where you need to stand in each gap to avoid pints of fire... not that interesting! You soonly (More like 5 seconds) reach the fight, but it sucks! It's exactly like the one is New Super Mario Bros DS, with a brief second of hammer throwing, which only activates if you're far away! Once that idiot called bowser jumps you press the button! You're done, SIKE, Peach's cage and Peach are dragged out of the screen. Just a question though, wasn't the "SIKE" thing used in New Super Mario Bros Wii? Either way, the "SIKE" moment has been recycled... laziness. You're then controlled by a CPU for about 5 seconds, doing what exactly? Jumping like an idiot thant jumping on these bone-like platforms that use a morsel of gravity. The boss is... is... mega bowser. Again, from New Super Mario Bros Wii! All you do is jump platform to platform while Bowsers hand destroys the platforms, it oddly doesn't hurt you, strange! I thought if a giant hand decided to smack me it would've hurt. You are then given a break, well, bowser breathes out (More like squirts) mini flames at you for merely a second, than the battle continues. Imagine that though repeated 2 more times, it's not over yet though! All you have to do is press the button (Again, really?) and mega bowser falls... the end? No, not a suprise "The End?" that would be unique? OF COURSE NOT, this 1 hour game is a rip off of every single element from the 2 games! Why couldn't Nintendo add beta elements of New Super Mario Bros DS or Wii? Does Nintendo care for the 3ds? One more thing, once you reach 99 lives you're not capless... although it is easy to reach 70 lives in world 3. Is there an epic final boss theme? NO! It's the EXACT same thing from New Super Mario Bros Wii. The ending is the same as the one from New Super Mario Bros Wii, once again, no shocker. There is an interactive credits screen, from New Super Mario Bros Wii.
