The developers originally considered calling the game "New Super Mario Bros. Gold" because of its theme of "one million coins", and the various features surrounding the idea. However, they felt that many of the games levels stood on their own, even without considering the coin collecting elements, and so they decided to emphasize that it still had the classic Mario gameplay by calling it New Super Mario Bros. 2.

With the development of New Super Mario Bros. 2 and New Super Mario Bros. U happening simultaneously, Nintendo created a "Mario Cram School" to teach developers from outside the core Super Mario team how to design levels. Most of the core developers of New Super Mario Bros. 2 were "graduates" of this program, while New Super Mario Bros. U was developed by the same core team that made prior games in the series.
