New Super Mario Bros. 2 runs and jumps onto shelves across Europe today, so to celebrate its release we've dug up a video of one dedicated player reaching a total of one million collected coins in the Japanese version of the game.
Nintendo are encouraging players to amass one million coins in NSMB2, with a running counter keeping track of players' tallies on the over-world screen. However, you might be wondering just what the reward is for accomplishing such a feat. Well wonder no longer, YouTube user NiNTENDOMiNATi0N has already completed the gruelling task. This is what happens [We surely don't need to point it out but we will anyway... !!!!SPOILERS!!!!]:
