Title: Classic Super Mario Levels coming to New Super Mario Bros. 2 - for free
Post by: David on November 26, 2012, 09:36:23 PM: A new Nintendo Direct was released by NCL today, revealing that a special classic level pack will be released for New Super Mario Bros. 2 (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/nsmb2). In celebration of gamers collecting over 300 billion coins in the game, the pack will be free until January 31st. The pack will consist of rearranged levels from Mario Bros. (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/mb-arcade), Super Mario Bros. (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/smb), and Super Mario Bros. 3 (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/smb3), and will feature new secrets hidden within the classic layouts.

At the moment, the level pack is only confirmed for Japan; hopefully a U.S. Nintendo Direct will appear shortly.

Post by: Toad on November 27, 2012, 09:32:13 PM: Hmmm.. it appears there are only three levels in this special pack. According to video (since I don't own the game): SMB 1-1, SMB3 1-1, and Mario Bros stage

Not that I'm complaining too much, I hope.. I just kinda thought it would be moreso "select handfulls of levels from *insert game here*" (except Mario Bros. There are only so many ways to make that stage a new stage..)

Post by: BriGuy92 on November 27, 2012, 11:16:06 PM: From what I've found, the levels contain bits of other levels (or entire other levels) hidden within them. SMB 1-1, for instance, contains all of 1-2 inside a pipe.

Post by: Toad on November 28, 2012, 12:27:47 PM: Ah.. that would make sense, I guess..

Post by: Weegee on November 28, 2012, 04:02:31 PM: They're only playable in Coin Rush, right?

EDIT: Downloaded them. I'm impressed at the amount of content in the throwback stages.

Post by: Luigison on November 29, 2012, 05:54:35 PM: The levels were better than I'd expected. I thought they would simply be the classic levels with NSMB art, physics, and coins everywhere. I like how they mixed a few things up.

Post by: Toad on January 10, 2013, 06:15:46 PM: Do you think Nintendo will reissue these levels? I don't see myself getting NSMB2 before the end of January.. :(

Post by: Toad on January 10, 2013, 07:13:38 PM: Oh! I thought they would become unavailable.. I don't mind paying a bit more after the end of this month then.
