A New Look at Mario as He Jumps into 3D
Past Mario™ games have let the blue-suspendered hero roam around fully rendered 3D landscapes. Now, for the first time, players can see true depth of their environment without the need for special glasses. Super Mario™ is a 3D evolution of classic Mario platforming featuring new level designs and challenges.

FEATURES:
•3D visuals make it easier for players to judge the depths and distances in their environments. Players can more accurately judge the jump to the next platform or how far Mario is from a question block.
•New and familiar abilities add unique game-play strategies to the adventure. Mario can perform a rolling somersault attack or run fast with a dash move. Or, as Tanooki Mario, he can use his tail to hover, perform floating jumps or attacks.
•The Circle Pad gives players complete control to confidently move Mario through fun and challenging environments.
•New enemies include Goombas with tails, tall stacks of Goombas and a Piranha Plant that spits ink to obscure a player's view.

You can see NSMBW Star Coins in the 2 right pics.

EDIT: Actually they look more like Mario Galaxy 2's Comet Medals. Could it be in Mario Galaxy style after all? Just look at levels like Gusty Garden in Galaxy 1, where they are not all necassarily in space. The fact the levels seem to be floating in the air support this. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
