Super Mario Bros.: Lost Levels Now Available In eShop

Posted on Thursday, December 27 @ 10:04:33 Eastern by Keri_Honea


Nintendo is just full of classic Super Mario Bros. news today. The last bit of news was a bit of a tease, but this new eShop release is ripe for all 3DS owners. As of today, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels is available for download from the eShop for $4.99.

The Lost Levels was originally relesaed in Japan as Super Mario Bros. 2, as it was a new rendition of the original Super Mario Bros., with Poison Mushrooms, backward Warp Zones, and the delight of wind gusts that could blow you forward to help or backward to hinder progress.

I've never had a chance to play The Lost Levels, so I'm going to dig out some Christmas cash for the eShop.

    I remember playing it on the SNES when All Stars came out.

    I also remember backwards warping from near end game to mid game and never playing again. It was pretty frustrating experience.

    Ah, you'll probably going to smash your 3DS then. It's a hard game. Not to the point of *******-ness from some of hacked versions floating out but hard enough that you'd want to punch the level designer.

    Super Mario Bros 2 was deemed "too difficult" for the Western audience so Nintendo had the idea of taking a completely different game and just re-skinning it and calling it Super Mario Bros 2. I'm glad to see the REAL sequel being released again here :)
