Luigi has golden ears and tail because he's a REAL MAN.

So while Mario gets gold, Luigi only gets silver? Poor guy, always his brother's shadow.

I wonder if Silver Luigi is different then Gold Mario....

Luigi is so Foxy!

Also, silver is prettier than gold IMHO.

@Light_Wolf

what if hes platinum?

Still great to see some artwork, and im glad they are keeping luigi with the fox theme to balance out mario's tanooki one.

i want this game so bad

im buying two NSMB2 (one digital for the wife/one retail because i love having the boxes)
and as soon as NSMBU comes out... it wiil be mine too

Hmm I don't think that makes Luigi more of a man, when the fox form is mostly linked to females based off Japanese folklore.

Luigi reminds me of Tails in so many ways right now. XD

LOVING the 3 nostalgia it's the first Mario I played in my life but...

...who do I have to kill to get at least ONE level ending with walking off into a black background again? I'll still play it regardless but-y'know..everything else is there.

And hell yes, Silver Luigi looks more awesome than Gold Mario. He's like some kind of hyper metal Luigi or something. :-)

Looks way better than NSMBU, I just like the coin concept to this game and how ridiculous the power-ups will be!

I like the artwork, but I have to wonder one thing...

Why is there two pictures of a Goomba? Can someone tell me why Nintendo thought making art showing two near identical poses of the same enemy character was better than making a new piece of artwork for a more obscure one like Reznor or the like?

Still, love how Luigi's new power up seems to turn him silvery and the art showing him with Tanooki ears and a tail. The design reminds me of his Tanooki form in Super Mario 3D Land a bit.

@CM30

These pieces of artwork are used for stuff like the official websites and the game's boxart. Having more than 1 Goomba with a different pose means they can have a group of them by each other and it's not obviously the same exact Goomba art.

Either way, I will still wonder if he's different then Gold Mario.

I love NSMB2's art assets, especially when it includes more Koopalings and Goomba art.
