This is the newly located Yoshi's Island 2 boxart. Upon closer inspection what do we find? IT looks like you might be able to play as baby versions of many characters, not just Mario. We find Baby Bowser, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong and Baby Wario as well as the standard Baby Mario.
What could this mean? Different characters for different situations? Character specific levels? Actual cooperation between mario and bowser? At this point it's all speculation but something that does catch the eye as being very important is the "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection" circle in the DS bar. Nintendo seems to have taken an approach at a complete juxtaposition to their previous ideals. Years ago with the GameCube Nintendo declared that the public didn't want online capabilities and so never started an online project. Yet here they are seemingly adding online capabilities to games that don't warrant it in any obvious form. Mario Kart DS and Metroid Prime: Hunters both had obvious extensions of their multiplayer modes to online, so what exactly could Nintendo be doing here?
Perhaps an online co-op mode? Or an online battle mode? I really don't know, and I can't seem to even speculate.
