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.

[BY2K]

Welp, DLC is coming for sure now.

 

[Plinko]

Desert theme would be worth the money.

 

[epmode]

Slopes and checkpoints pls.

 

[trixx]

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

 

[jooey]

That's going to be spammed.

In Super Mario Maker? Preposterous!

 

[GAMERG0D]

Slopes and checkpoints pls.

And big Boo

 

[Fishlake]

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?

 

[mattp]

Slopes and checkpoints pls.

this

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]

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]

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

 

[Tagyhag]

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

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Tsk tsk another unfinished game.

Spoiler

sarcasm

 

[hamchan]

At least it's not fucking Phanto.

 

[DedValve]

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

 

[Kouriozan]

I smell DLC/update.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

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

 

[PAULINK]

why can't nintendo just give everything at once?

 

[Beelzebufo]

this

Ooh those three would be perfect

 

[omnislayer]

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

 

[PigSpeakers]

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]

*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.

 

[BobLoblaw]

why can't nintendo just give everything at once?

For financial reasons.

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

Oh yes

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

 

[Jpope]

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

 

[JazzmanZ]

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.

 

[jholmes]

Slopes and checkpoints pls.

Athletic theme on sky levels too please!

In Super Mario Maker? Preposterous!

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.

 

[sonto340]

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.

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]

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]

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

 

[jnWake]

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

 

[friskykillface]

Find the football Mario world enemies next

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

 

[sixteen-bit]

black hole sun DLC when?

 

[Wowfunhappy]

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

 

[Vital Tundra]

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

Or something like Splatoon.

Anyway I hope this leads to many content updates.

 

[Reversed]

Don't forget Phanto, please.

 

[Shiggy]

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

 

[weevles]

Isn't Japan getting Mario Maker DLC for sure?

 

[thiscoldblack]

"Downloadable" content (DLC).

 

[Vital Tundra]

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

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]

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

 

[Platy]

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

 

[Hatty]

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

 

[lamaroo]

YES

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

 

[Rebel Leader]

We want Chuck

 

[Dicer]

SMB2 pack plz....

 

[Nishastra]

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

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

 

[aaaaaa]

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
