'''''NES Remix 2''''' is a [[Nintendo eShop]] exclusive game on the [[Wii U]]. It is the direct sequel to ''[[NES Remix]]'', and was included with it in the compilation disc release ''[[NES Remix Pack]]''.
'''''NES Remix 2''''' is a [[Nintendo eShop]] exclusive game on the [[Wii U]]. It is the sequel to ''[[NES Remix]]''. Focusing on games released later in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]'s lifespan than its predecessor, it follows the same formula by taking portions from classic NES games, including a few ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games, and "remixing" them to provide a new challenge to players. ''NES Remix 2'' was released with ''NES Remix'' as a physical compilation, ''[[NES Remix Pack]]''. ''NES Remix 2'' was later removed from the Wii U eShop after its discontinuation on March 27, 2023, making users no longer able to purchase the title.


Focusing on games released later in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]'s lifespan than its predecessor, it follows the same formula by taking portions from classic NES games, "remixing" them to provide a new challenge to players.
==Gameplay==
Players must complete stages, split across one to eight challenges, based on excepted or "remixed" areas from various games, including some from the ''Super Mario'' franchise. In doing this, they can earn up to three stars per challenge, which unlock further games and stages with which to earn more stars. "Bits" are also awarded based on success, which unlock [[Miiverse]] stamps. Stars are awarded based on completion time; while a particularly quick time earns a further bonus, represented as the stars being outlined with an iridescent "rainbow" border and a larger bit award. Each stage gives a player one to eight lives to complete it - the player can continue mid-stage after a game over, but is capped at a maximum of one star if they do so and must complete it again in one set of lives to increase the award.


Originally, the game offered [[Miiverse]] integration, allowing players to share their level clear times with others and add [[stamp]]s to their posts, but this was discontinued with the closure of the Miiverse service on November 7, 2017. The game was not updated to remove the prompts and references to Miiverse and was later removed from the Wii U eShop after its discontinuation on March 27, 2023, making it no longer possible for players to purchase the title. However, players who purchased the game before this date can still play it as long as it is on their Wii U device.

===Championship Mode===
There is a third game mode called Championship Mode, which can only be played after the first game has been downloaded to the console. The mode uses a scoring system for three different games (''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]'') inspired by the ''[[Nintendo World Championships|1990 Nintendo World Championships]]'', which covered 29 cities in the [[United States of America]] and had players competing for the best total score on a special NES cartridge that combined gameplay from ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''{{wp|Tetris}}'', and ''{{wp|Rad Racer}}''.

After doing this the second challenge involves collecting 25 coins in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Finally, the player must earn as high a score as possible with their remaining time or until they lose in ''Dr. Mario''.
