    While the new level is awesome, seeing the mushroom kingdom in ruins is kind of depressing.


    I blame that giant bomb from the SSE movie.

    Holy crap, so from what i've gathered, it's basically the first levels from mario, starting from the beginning and sidescrolling all the way to the sewers! :D

    Also... Mushroom Kingdom looks pretty beat up. :O

    You're right


    The kingdom you once knew has turned to ruins over the long years, and it is now your battlefield.

    You’ll get to enjoy a wide range of familiar structures. Also, since the stage slowly scrolls sideways, battles here will require you to come up with a very different strategy for winning.

    Oh, and when you select this stage, it will occasionally load an alternate underground stage!

    I swear I recall one of the leaks mentioning a World 1-1 stage. (Not that it matters)

    The idea that it's fallen to ruin is indeed a bit unsettling, but I like that they're willing to do that to such an iconic setting. Not sure how much I'd play a constantly side-scrolling stage, but it looks cool, if in concept alone.

    Ah, the Mushroom Kingdom. Most Smash players will recognise this place from previous games in the series, where the world was represented in a pixel-art style reminiscent of the original Super Mario Bros.

    But why the "y" on the end of "Mushroom"? What’s the difference?

    stage23_080123a-l.jpg

    Oh, so that’s why!

    This time around, we’ve designed a stage that recreates the layout of World 1-1 in Super Mario Bros. – but with rich backgrounds added to the mix.

    stage23_080123b-l.jpg

    The stage scrolls forward at a leisurely pace.

    stage23_080123c-l.jpg

    Pieces of familiar scenery scroll by.

    The kingdom you once knew has turned to ruins over the long years, and it is now your battlefield.

    You’ll get to enjoy a wide range of familiar structures. Also, since the stage slowly scrolls sideways, battles here will require you to come up with a very different strategy for winning.

    Oh, and when you select this stage, it will occasionally load an alternate underground stage!

    This is the famous World 1-2. This one’s also quite charming.

    The Mushroomy Kingdom stage sports the most famous stage design in all of gaming.

    And the world-famous Mr Koji Kondo, creator of the music for Super Mario Bros., has kindly done us the service of arranging this theme for the stage!

    The original overworld theme in Super Mario Bros. had a certain almost-Latin flavour to it, but this time the theme features a piano arrangement that really goes along well with the atmosphere of Mushroomy Kingdom.

    It’s just wonderful.

    Mr Kondo, thank you for your help!

    So this is what would happen if the Mushroom Kingdom suffered some sort of apocalypse and turned the green hills into a desert wasteland.

    Ugh... I feel so hypocritical. I initially ragged on the new Advance Wars for doing just that. But this just comes off as bloody cool looking.

    Well, gonna be interesting coming up with new techniques for these new flat stages where the only way to KO is through the sides.
