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.
