### About

Mario's Dream 2 takes place in not only Mario's head, but also Luigi's and Yoshi's. Phantario decides, after his loss against Mario, that he is going to infect the dreams of Mario's loved ones, and send his own monsters in to kill them. This will be sure to lower Mario's morale, making him an easier target. However, what Phantario doesn't know, is that a secret person is helping them survive. A notable feature for this game is the considerably better art style, with much more time and effort being put into it.

This game also has a lot more replayability than the first, including 3 brand new modes, 2 of which can be played with a new experience each time.

### Gameplay

The gameplay changes depending on the character chosen. Luigi plays like Mario in the first game, having a flashlight, and the only way to defend yourself is running away or, this time, hiding. This time, however, the battery will not run out. Yoshi will wield a baseball bat he finds laying around in his dream. Yoshi can swing at targets, but will get fatigued if attacking too much. Mario is equipped with a hand cannon. He can blast enemies, but must reload after firing.

Each level is a completely random location created by Phantario, with different mechanics each. None of the locations match together.

### Unlockables

The player will be able to unlock new cosmetic items for their heroes AND enemies. This time, players can unlock entire skins instead of just different flashlight beams. Skins can be unlocked during events, by completing goals, or through Birdo Quests, and following social media. Enemy skins can be unlocked the same way. Enemy skins are applied to every mode that enemy can appear in.

### Online

An Online mode will be included in Mario's Dream 2. This will include a public chat section, and an online survival (?), where global scores will be shown.

### Survival

Survival is a new mode introduced in Mario's Dream 2. This mode has the player survive for as long as they can. Points are earned by surviving and killing/avoiding enemies. If the player chooses Luigi, their exposure meter will go down on it's own. If the player chooses Mario or Yoshi, the exposure bar is replaced with a Health bar, and they must use their weapons to defend themselves from hordes. An announcer will also be present in the game, saying various lines while playing.

### Versus

Versus returns in Mario's Dream 2. It functions similar to the mode in the first game. However, the player can now customize the enemies.

### Chaos Mode

Chaos Mode is an unlockable mode, gained after completing Campaign. It is able to be selected when clicking Campaign. Chaos Mode allows the user to play a challenge level and customize what characters are going to attack them or not. Every Campaign enemy is able to be turned On or Off. Additionally, the player can select a Pre-Set challenge, and get rewards for doing it.

### Early Concepts

Mario's Dream 2 was going to be a very different game in concept art. Originally, there were only going to be 5 levels, each with a new character. There was also an Easy, Medium, and Hard option for each campaign level.

The player would've been able to obtain tickets and keys from completing levels and events. These tickets and keys would have been used to unlock content packs, containing new skins, a new level, and an Emote. Emotes were little effects the player could use during a level that would display a phrase infront of the screen.

The player would have a Rank which leveled up upon completing levels in-game. The higher your rank, the more stuff you would've unlocked.

Bowser Jr. was originally going to be an enemy in the game, having gone insane and murdering everyone in Bowser's Castle, with only Larry Koopa surviving. He was replaced by Mutant Bone.

These early concepts were never implemented into the game, due to the developer feeling like it would make the game feel too clunky, and feeling like it wouldn't have worked as planned in the first place.

* Mario's Dream 2 has a considerably larger amount of replayability than the first game.

* Mario's Dream 2 is the last game in the series.
* Unlike the first game, nothing in Mario's Dream 2 is going to be rushed.
* This is one of Epic's biggest and most content-packed games of all time.
