New in-game footage of New Super Mario Bros. 2 for Nintendo 3DS surfaces

New in-game footage has surfaced online of Nintendo's upcoming portable platformer New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the 3DS.

The videos, which have been published on Nintendomination's YouTube channel, show the red plumber running, jumping, sliding, and flying through a number of familiar-looking environments.

The footage clearly reflects the new game's focus on coin collecting, with many of the levels packed full of shiny gold currency.

It's also evident that New Super Mario Bros. 2 will span all manner of terrain: from the classic green meadows of the early stages to snowy mountains, lava-filled pits, and aquatic environments.

We also catch a glimpse of the promised two-player co-op feature via a few seconds of footage that show Luigi and Mario working together in brotherly harmony.

Check out the videos below to see New Super Mario Bros. 2 in action.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be released in Europe on August 17th. It will also be the first downloadable 3DS title from the Nintendo eShop.
