Nintendo gives players a special surprise stage in new ‘Super Smash Bros.’ DLC

Nintendo released a new downloadable content, or DLC, pack for its popular fighting game, “Super Smash Bros.” Only a “Super Mario Maker” stage was planned for the DLC originally, but Nintendo also included more new content including stages and Mii Fighter costumes.

Aside from the constantly changing “Super Mario Maker” stage, “Super Smash Bros.” will also be getting a Pirate Ship stage, Gematsu reports. Though the Pirate Ship stage is currently available on the Wii U version of the game, the 3DS version of “Super Smash Bros.” will be getting a Duck Hunt stage.

The Pirate Ship stage first appeared in 2008’s “Super Smash Brawl” for the Wii. The stage takes huge inspiration from the ship that Link uses in “The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.” It is now available for purchase at the eShop for US$2 (AU$ 2.85) for the Wii U.

The “Super Mario Maker” stage, meanwhile, is priced at $2.50 (AU$ 3.56) for the Wii U and 3DS, but those who own both console versions can buy a bundle for $3.50 (AU$ 4.99). Loyal to the game it’s based on, the “Super Mario Maker” is a stage that changes its layout with every game, Gamespot reports. To make things more exciting, players can make a “Super Mario Maker” hand appear by hitting certain blocks in the stage. When the hand appears, it will re-animate the blocks again.

The DLC will also include another array of costumes for the customisable Mii Fighters in the game. Costumes will be based on popular titles including “Monster Hunter,” “Star Fox” and “Kid Icarus.” Players can also make their Mii Fighters look like Toad and Captain Falcon.

The DLC collection, including costumes and stages, is priced at $7.75 (AU$ 11.04) for the 3DS and $9.73(AU$ 13.86) for the Wii U. A special bundle for players who own both consoles is priced at $13.53 (AU$ 19.28).
