The whole point of the game is to drift as far as you can and for as long as you can without crashing into the edges of the track. One such game is Drift Mania Championship 2, developed by RatRod Studio, a game where what you’re expected to do isn’t simply race around the track as quickly as possible but – as you may have guessed from the title – do so while gaining as many points as possible through drifting. We’re no strangers to racing games here at, we’ve even featured quite a number of them on Mobile Monday, and while the undisputed king of iOS racing titles is still the Real Racing series, there are a couple of games out there nipping at their heels. Expect to be humbled.ĭRIFT MANIA CHAMPIONSHIP 2 by Martin Baker : It may not be as well designed as the original Super Mario Bros., but it’s a unique piece of Nintendo’s history and one that’s worth a look if you’ve never played it before. If you’re used to the casual approach of modern day Nintendo game design, this game will surprise you. Within 30 seconds of playing the game, you’ll collect a mushroom only to find out that it’s poisonous and will kill you on the spot, while jumping certain gaps require pixel perfect mastery over Mario (or Luigi, who is selectable and jumps further than Mario, but is more difficult to control) with some levels featuring unavoidable wind currents that can make those jumps an absolute nightmare. The Lost Levels are truly for the masochistic Super Mario players out there, as it turns everything you know about the original game on its head, screwing you over at every turn. Music and sound effects are identical to its predecessor, with slightly prettier backgrounds being the only change to the visuals. This 3DS Virtual Console version is the original Famicom Disk System version, identical to the version previously released for a limited time only on the European Wii Shop Channel as part of Nintendo’s regular Hanabi Festivals (wherein Japan-only titles were released as Virtual Console titles in Europe). The game finally surfaced in the West as part of the Super Mario All-Stars collection on SNES, albeit renamed as The Lost Levels, with new 16-bit graphics and minor gameplay alterations. 2 in 1986 for the Disk System add-on for the Famicom (The Japanese version of the NES).ĭesigned as a challenging version of the original game, it was deemed too difficult for Western gamers, who instead received a modified version of Japanese title Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic, replacing the game’s original characters (mascots from a Japanese television network) with Mario and Co.

and was released in Japan as Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels is the original sequel to Super Mario Bros. So let’s get the obvious intro out of the way.
