Only the JAP version has been released so far. Of course I played this version.
a few corrections from my opening post:
-After you complete the game, if you select a world different than World8 then you'll get to play several times the n-matching game. Dunno if it's a bug or a feature. (maybe the game thinks that once beaten the game the score should reset so makes you play once per every 80000 points in your total)
-super sliding images game: when you win at the normal minigame you find on Spade spaces, all Spade spaces become Heart spaces. the Heart sliding images game has a Leaf picture instead of the Star. it worths 7 lives. If you win then all Heart become Clubs spaces. The minigame now features a "3" symbol instead of leaf. Complete it for 10 lives. Win this version to make all clubs become Diamond spaces. the diamond version makes you automatically complete a picture depending on how well you performed in the previous versions. After Diamond, the spaces reset to Spades
-there are 2 types of e-cards so far: Levels (blue) and Items (green).
When you scan an Item card the pictured item is added to your item reserve. Not much useful since you can visit mushroom houses at will after beating the game 100%. They can be of some use if you can't beat it by your own.
Level cards are WAY more interesting: the one I've seen lets you play level 1-1 of SMB with SMB3 (SNES) graphics!
If you jump over the final pole you'll get a secret exit.
also there are items and enemies that will become available only by using e-cards. This includes Big Boo, Charging Chuck, Rip Van Fish and others. As for items, I've seen Trampolines, Huge Veggies, Cape Feather and Boomerangs.
No yoshi for now. He wasn't supposed to be in the game anyway.
The game is hardly hackable with cheating devices. Looks like Nintendo don't like cheaters. :)
