Let me preface this by saying that I am already satisfied with what they've shown us so far about MM2 and am already hyped. But it never hurt anyone to think about new game modes that could be fun to add. This is not even speculation but more of a fun what-if scenario.

​

For those who haven't played before, here is what it was:

​

- You try to collect X stars before your opponent to win

- Stars spawn one at a time randomly on the map, or you can try to steal stars by knocking them out of your opponent

- When either player collects a new star, the map resets

- When a player collects enough coins they get a random powerup

​

I remember this being such a ridiculously fun game mode and was sad when it didn't return in SMB Wii. I think this could be a natural fit for a MM2 Vs. mode, all you would have to do that's different from making a normal stage is designate star spawn locations.
