Super Mario Bros Next – The Lost Levels Part 1

SMBNext: The Lost Levels is a huge collection of cut content that spans around three years of development. This page serves to guide you through this collection’s playable stages, with some behind-the-scenes development insight being sprinkled in along the way. Note that these levels have since been cut from the final game, and therefore do not hold up to our current standard of quality.

Levels are also out-of-order, and do not match what you may see on the world map. Please keep this in mind while playing. Without further ado, let’s-a-go! The first part of SMBNext: The Lost Levels is comprised entirely of levels developed pre-2018, back when what is currently SMBNext was known simply as “New Super Mario Classic“. These stages have aged rather poorly compared to later levels and were created when we didn’t have a uniform approach to level design.
