New Super Mario Bros. 2

6

New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a video game published by Nintendo for the 3DS. The cartridge is light gray with a small outdent at the top right. The sticker graphic is a standard DS layout with white bands at the top and bottom and an image in the center. The game's title is consistent in appearance with its predecessor, with the addition of a yellow “2” on the right side. The illustration exaggerates the gameplay and color scheme to highlight the addition of a coin-collecting minigame. Mario is shown in his iconic jumping pose to connect this game to other similar ones. This design is important to the archive because it shows how Nintendo used recognizable imagery to market new games to its audience.
