New Super Mario Bros’ Lost Levels
GameSetWatch has an interview with a teenage hacker named Treeki who has uncovered some locked-away levels in New Super Mario Bros.
The discovery of hidden/unused levels is undoubtedly one of the most interesting aspects of gaming culture. Well, it’s one of my favourite things about games, at least. Especially since I lack the skill to dig up what others far younger than me seem to find more easily than a clean pair of socks.
Here’s one such lost NSMB level. Gaze upon the Forbidden Desert! Then remind me and the rest of the world to stop applying Indiana Jones to Super Mario.
Totally agree. One of the most fascinating but creepy parts. :D
It strikes me as interesting in just how incomplete the game looks. I’m not used to seeing game levels that look that incomplete so it’s fun to me to compare just what wasn’t done yet.
Yeah, there’s definitely a lack of polish here for obvious reasons. It’s like looking up NSMB’s skirt. Oh my!
That joke was so out of left field I can’t even figure out what to come back with, in the common internet parlance, owned.
I’m sorry. It was just a visual that popped into my head and I just had to write it down.
I’m perfectly fine with that, I found it quite entertaining, I just was surprised by it.
