New Super Mario Bros. 2 players have cumulatively collected over 300 billion coins, and to celebrate Nintendo has released free DLC for the game that features classic levels from the original Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario Bros. 3. The DLC is available immediately and includes recreations of the first two levels and Bowser's castle from the original Super Mario Bros., what appears to be a sort of greatest hits collage from Super Mario Bros. 3, and more.

You can see the announcement below, as well as some video clips from the DLC, and instructions on how to download it. The DLC is free for now, but starting on February 1, it will cost $2.50.

Makes me even sadder that I can't find my 3DS :[

Awesome, hopefully it will be a bit more fun then the rest of that lackluster game. Seriously, as much as I like the NSM franchise, this was the worst iteration yet. Thank god for the wiiU one, it's helping get that bad taste out of my mouth.

Man, what if they just completely remade all those classic games as DLC for this? That'd be amazing!

Sweet!! that's awesome!! I already got in the morning early.

Was it just me or was that video super boring and did nothing to get me excited for the DLC?
by zeldayogi Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 11:08 AM

Thats awesome I've got to download it. I wish they would have added some super mario bros 2 though. Thats one I haven't been able to play much.

Frig, and I just traded mine in after I beat the crap out of that game and all the DLC....way to go me, that's what I get for trading in!

Free classic DLC, sounds fun!
by NinjaPixel Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 11:56 AM

Is it just me or everyone I know who plays the Super Mario Bros. games, when speaking of the title, we actually say "Super Mario BROTHERS" and not "Super Mario BROS" ? @3:55

I'll be getting this for Christmas, so this is a pleasant surprise.

Mario!!! *jumps in the air and high fives*!

Nostalgia anyone? Seriously though, it will be cool to play through some of my favorite NES levels again.
