It got an 8.5.
'It is impossible not to be drawn in by the simple perfection of New Super Mario Bros 2s mechanics and level design this is as pleasurable and effortless as 2D platforming gets. But its also impossible not to be disappointed that its over so quickly, and doesnt offer anything really new. The best Mario games reinvent themselves at the same time as paying loving homage to what went before; they take something you know and love and make it feel new all over again. New Super Mario Bros doesnt do that - but its a delightful game while it lasts, and still the best 2D platformer on the 3DS.'
So a well made, but wholly unremarkable game, then. Sounds about right.
