''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' is a 1986 side-scrolling, platformer action game developed and published by Nintendo as the sequel to the 1985 ''Super Mario Bros.'' The games are similar in style and gameplay apart from a large increase in difficulty. Like the original, Mario or Luigi venture to rescue the Princess from Bowser. Unlike the original, the game has no two-player option and Luigi is differentiated from his twin plumber brother by having less ground friction and higher jump height. ''The Lost Levels'' also introduces setbacks like poison mushroom power-ups, counterproductive level warps, and mid-air wind gusts. The game has 32 levels across eight worlds, and five bonus worlds. ''The Lost Levels'' was first released in Japan for the Famicom Disk System as on June 3, 1986, following the success of its predecessor. It was developed by Nintendo R&D4, the team led by Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto. Nintendo of America considered the game too difficult to sell in North America and instead sold a retrofitted version of Japanese game ''Doki Doki Panic'' as its ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. The game was not released in North America until its inclusion on the 1993 Super Nintendo Entertainment System compilation ''Super Mario All-Stars''. It was later ported to the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and Virtual Console (Wii, Nintendo 3DS, and Wii U). The game is known for its intense difficulty. Reviewers characterized the game as an extension of the original release, continuing the difficulty progression of its forebear. In this way, some recommended the ''The Lost Levels'' for those who mastered the original. Video game journalists appreciated the game's challenge in a speedrunning context. The game gave Luigi his first character traits and introduced the poison mushroom power-up, which would be used throughout the ''Mario'' franchise. ''The Lost Levels'' was the most popular game on the Famicom Disk System, for which it sold about 2.5 million copies. In 2014, IGN ranked the game among the bottom of its top 125 Nintendo games. == Gameplay == ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' is a side-scrolling, platformer action game similar in style and gameplay to the original 1985 ''Super Mario Bros.'', save for an increase in difficulty.〔〔〔〔 As in the original, Mario (or Luigi) venture to rescue the Princess from Bowser.〔 The player jumps between platforms, avoids enemy and inanimate obstacles, finds hidden secrets (like the warp zone and vertical vines), and collects power-ups like the Mushroom (which makes Mario grow), the Fire Flower (which lets Mario throw fireballs), and the Invincibility Star.〔 Unlike the original, there is no two-player mode〔 and the player chooses between the twin plumbers, who are differentiated for the first time, at the title screen. Luigi, designed for skilled players, has less ground friction and higher jump height.〔 Mario is faster.〔 The game's difficulty picks up from near the end of the original and progressively increases.〔 ''The Lost Levels'' introduces annoyances including poison mushrooms, level warps that set the player farther back in the game, and wind gusts that redirect the player's course mid-air. Some of the game's levels require "split-second" precision.〔 There were also some graphical changes,〔〔 though the soundtrack is identical.〔 After each boss fight, Toad tells Mario that "our princess is in another castle!"〔 The main game has 32 levels〔 across eight worlds and five bonus worlds. A hidden World 9 is accessible if the player does not use a warp zone. Bonus worlds A through D are accessible when the player plays through the game eight times, for a total of 52 levels.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
