When this happens, the background music of Copacabana Beach is replaced with a vocal theme song, Canção do Rio, and five Miis at the beach give information about Brazil while the others talk about the ongoing carnival. After the first time, the carnival floats return after 3 tournaments not chosen using the "Past Tournaments" option.

If the player's Mii is wearing the full Lakitu costume, Lakitu will double the prize to 60 Coins and 60 Rings.Īfter winning all level 1 tournaments, Rio carnival floats can arrive at Copacabana Beach once a tournament ends. By talking to him the player receives 30 Coins and 30 Rings as a reward. Lakitu on his Cloud appears on the beach every five Gold Medals or 1st Place Medals earned.
There, the player can obtain items using coins or rings. Item Stands are gradually unlocked as tournaments are cleared. In addition to this, there are important locations and characters that can be talked to in order to access the game's modes, to purchase items or to obtain additional rewards, these are: When characters from Team Mario or Team Sonic are found at the beach, one Mii also gives additional information about one character, chosen randomly among at least two small pieces of information of this kind per character. Furthermore, after participating at least once in the Heroes Showdown mode, there is also one Mii that gives a tip card about the Heroes Showdown mode, if all said cards haven't been already collected. By talking to Miis of players from unknown countries or by talking the first time to characters from Team Sonic or Team Mario after entering the first tournament, countries' and characters' flags can be obtained respectively. Outside of tournaments, the player always controls their own Mii on the beach. The game always starts instead on Copacabana Beach, that is explorable and contains several characters the player can talk to, either characters from Team Sonic and Team Mario or Miis of other players. In the game, the main menu, called Shortcut Menu, is unlocked after winning a medal in the first tournament, is optional and is activated with the button.

However, other bosses are truly forgettable. I won't spoil it but it is one of the best final bosses in 2D Mario to date. However, the final boss itself is something special. This is a nice change from the standard plan of the Koopa King but still pretty generic. The final boss takes place in Peach's Castle as Bowser takes over the castle, transforming it into one more suitable for him. While the story is basically non-existent, Bowser kidnapped Peach, get her back. The Super Acorn has got to be one of the best power ups we have seen in 2D Mario and with the Propeller Mushroom and Penguin Suit also returning, the selection of power-ups here is very good. While it feels incredibly similar to the Wii version, the new additions to this game are very good at changing the gameplay. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
