Originally released in Japan in 1986, Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels never made it as far as Europe, so it's only now that you can find out what you've been missing. Riffing on the original 8-bit Super Mario Bros, platforming action in The Lost Levels starts out very difficult and quickly becomes rock solid. As an early work of Nintendo's game design genius, Shigeru Miyamoto, it's brilliantly made, although you'll need some skills to see most of it. It's an interesting contrast with next month's prettier and far more forgiving Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, which is also coming to Wii U.
