Twitter user NWPlayer123, who is known for data mining Nintendo games, has come across an interesting discovery. It appears that there are files within the game for the Angry Sun. That’s leading to speculation of DLC, though there’s definitely no such confirmation currently.

Welp, DLC is coming for sure now.

Plinko · Sep 24, 2015

Desert theme would be worth the money.

epmode · Sep 24, 2015

Slopes and checkpoints pls.

trixx · Sep 24, 2015

That's going to be spammed. Still one of the if not the most memorable Mario 2d levels.

Fishlake · Sep 24, 2015

No! I hate that sun. I don't need people adding it to their levels. You can't even kill or steal a cloud from it.

Anything else of significance found?

and the ability to create "worlds"
so you can string together a set of stages and have your lives/powerups carry between like a real game

mclem · Sep 24, 2015

Angry Sun's an oddity, since I don't really regard it as an enemy placed within the level, as such, more as a trait of a level. Think of the original SMB implementation of Lakitu for something similar; it exists mostly independently of the level itself.

daydream · Sep 24, 2015

i'd be pissed too if i wasn't included

Tagyhag · Sep 24, 2015

Now just add Phantos that can follow you without a key and the monstrosity will be complete.

Scientist Supreme! · Sep 24, 2015

Tsk tsk another unfinished game.

sarcasm

hamchan · Sep 24, 2015

At least it's not fucking Phanto.

DedValve · Sep 24, 2015

Lakitu is greasing his hands at the devious new tools he'll soon use.

Kouriozan · Sep 24, 2015

I smell DLC/update.

Freedom = $1.05 · Sep 24, 2015

Here's hoping its splatoon dlc free and not paid dlc

PAULINK · Sep 24, 2015

why can't nintendo just give everything at once?

Ooh those three would be perfect

omnislayer · Sep 24, 2015

Hopefully you can spawn him with a chainchomp riding a Bowser riding a Bowser junior riding him.

PigSpeakers · Sep 24, 2015

That jellyfish thing is new, yeah? Or maybe I just haven't gotten it. Just like the blobby ghosts that are stuck on floors and ceilings. Or tall mario. Or numerous other things I've see used in levels.

Fewr · Sep 24, 2015

*sigh*
I'm not a big fan of these data mining findings, they spoil surprises. I can live with it, it doesn't bother me much.

For financial reasons.

Alaskanbullworm · Sep 24, 2015

Oh yes

Just hope that it's not cut content and that it's free

Jpope · Sep 24, 2015

I would pay 5 dollars for a pack that contains slopes, chargin chucks, checkpoints, and the koopalings.

JazzmanZ · Sep 24, 2015

I knew it, it was the only thing missing from that About page for Super Mario's 30th anniversary website, probably planning a desert pack or something later on.

Athletic theme on sky levels too please!

I dunno, the Angry Sun can't kill you in the first second Mario's on screen so I don't think the 12-year-olds will really care.

You can absolutely kill it. All you need is a shell or something to throw at it.

Which assholes who put down fifteen of them in one level will not give you.

SirPenguin · Sep 24, 2015

This doesn't imply DLC - gotta remember there are way more cases of finding unused or cut content via data mining than there are cases of finding DLC

bounchfx · Sep 24, 2015

doesn't really mean anything, could be DLC, or more likely cut content

jnWake · Sep 24, 2015

Maybe they're adopting Splatoon's DLC model for this game. It'd be damn cool and smart.

friskykillface · Sep 24, 2015

Find the football Mario world enemies next

I can see someone have nothing but angry Suns for a level

sixteen-bit · Sep 24, 2015

black hole sun DLC when?

Wowfunhappy · Sep 24, 2015

This isn't NECESSARILY DLC, they might have been experimenting with different items and this is just a leftover file.

Vital Tundra · Sep 24, 2015

Or something like Splatoon.

Anyway I hope this leads to many content updates.

Reversed · Sep 24, 2015

Don't forget Phanto, please.

Shiggy · Sep 24, 2015

On-disc DLC, Nintendo surely is a master of that. Let's hope it'll be free at least.

weevles · Sep 24, 2015

Isn't Japan getting Mario Maker DLC for sure?

thiscoldblack · Sep 24, 2015

"Downloadable" content (DLC).

It's not inherently DLC if it's on disk and unusable. If they charge for it then yes, but as of yet, it could only mean as much as what they do with Splatoon.

kevm3 · Sep 24, 2015

Nintendo would be out of their minds not to have downloadable contain for this game.

Platy · Sep 24, 2015

Oh god the stages are already near impossible without this SURVIVAL HORROR element

Hatty · Sep 24, 2015

Give me phanto when I shake the sun and I'll make the worst levels imaginable

lamaroo · Sep 24, 2015

YES

If it's already on the disc it'll likely follow the Splatoon model as free updates.

Rebel Leader · Sep 24, 2015

We want Chuck

Dicer · Sep 24, 2015

SMB2 pack plz....

Nishastra · Sep 24, 2015

Phanto would logically require keys and locked doors, which would also be cool.

aaaaaa · Sep 24, 2015

Level editors for Mario have been available since at least 1997 -- does this mean the official one is incomplete compared to the fan-made ones? I hope Nintendo doesn't nickel and dime their customers.

Lunar Magic is waaaaaay more powerful, and always will be. Seriously, the amount of objects you have to play with in all of Super Mario World + enemies ported from Mario 1, 2, & 3 in INSANE. And this is speaking as a college student who hasn't touched the program since he was in middle school--it's probably gotten better since then. Anyone who is seriously interested in (Mario) level design should check it out.

But Mario Maker is more fun.

I sure do love black sprite SMB3 sun, clearly that's finished
