New Super Mario Bros. Secrets, and the Shame of Getting PINK'D |
 |
| |
|
"Working" at Nintendo has its perks. While I was slaving away earlier
this week doing some
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon "research," my boss's boss's boss strolls up
to me and dishes out an awesome code for
New Super Mario Bros. I revealed this gem earlier this week at the
Nintendo NSider Forums, and here it is again for everyone who may have
missed it:
Secret Challenge Mode
The secret Challenge Mode in New Super Mario Bros. allows you to replay
levels you've completed in a new way. In Challenge Mode, the screen will
not scroll to the left. So, if you pass up something good, you can't
backtrack to pick it up (like in the original Super Mario Bros.). This
makes the game even more challenging! Here's how it works:
1. Complete the game (see the ending at least once).
2. On the world map screen, press Start to pause the game.
3. Enter the following code: L, R, L, R, X, X, Y, Y.
4. If you enter the code correctly, a message will appear announcing
that you have accessed the secret Challenge Mode. A yellow arrow will
appear in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, indicating that
Challenge Mode is activated. Note that Challenge Mode can only be played
in areas that you have completed.
Also, you may have heard of this trick already, but if you beat the game
you'll learn a command that allows you to play as Luigi. Luigi's
abilities are identical to Mario's, but it's fun to switch things up as
Luigi.
And by the way ... have you tried touching the names on the credits as
they roll by?

PINK'D
Attention fellow Kirby fans! I'm pleased to announce that our heroic
pink friend is returning to 4KIDS.TV this Saturday at 10:30 am.
Kirby: Right Back at Ya! episodes will be airing this summer, so bust out
your cereal spoons and get ready to inhale your breakfast Kirby style.
Speaking of Kirby, I don't think I've ever shown anyone this picture of
my humble cubicle after being "Pink'd" by a mysterious group of
Kirby-centric guerilla marketers here at Nintendo:
The humiliation! I was finding shards of pink ribbon around my desk for
months ..."
