Free Gold Classics Pack DLC adds 3 new Coin Rush stages to New Super Mario Bros. 2

As expected, Nintendo has released another new batch of DLC for its Silver Award-winning 3DS platformer, New Super Mario Bros. 2.

This fresh piece of downloadable content is called the Gold Classics Pack, and it features three new 'Coin Rush' levels.

If you're a long-term fan of Nintendo's fat pipe-loving plumber, you'll probably recognise these new stages. Ninty has taken levels from Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros. 3 and mashed them together to create new challenges.

For those of you not familiar with New Super Mario Bros. 2's Coin Rush mode, it boasts a rather simple concept.

You're given a single life and a target number of gold coins to collect (30,000 in this new DLC), and you have to make it through each stage in a timely fashion without falling prey to a stray Goomba.

The good news doesn't stop there, though: this Gold Classics Pack is available to download completely free of charge until January 31st. After that, Nintendo will charge.
