Today's update is definitely unique. This stage is based off the original Super Mario Bros's stage World 1-1 as if it has been left in ruins. The player progresses through the stage at a very slow and leisurely pace. As one goes through the stage one will be hit with a sense of nostalgia that is common among older gamers. Items such as the flag pole and places such as the fort can be seen in the background but don't actually interfere with the stage. The layout of the bricks from the stage does seem to affect how one moves around on stage. While not exactly tournament friendly, it still adds a nice touch to the stages we are already familiar and also breaks away from the retro kick by introducing the aging of the stage.

It's interesting to note that Sakurai mentions that occasionally a different level will load which is reminiscent of World 1-2 from Super Mario Bros. With ideas like this who is to say we might not see other scrolling nostalgic stages such as ones from Link's Adventure, Metroid or other well known side-scrollers?
