Come in for info on 2 new levels and statues of playable characters!!!

As you probably already know, Super Smash Bros. Melee has a level based on Super Mario Bros., not unlike the one found in the original. Now, thanks to KokiriKory's keen eye, PGC is happy to report that an airship has been sighted as a new location. Originally, we thought it was from Super Mario Bros. 3, but the background and wings suggest that it could be from Super Mario 64. Finally, it might be from another game PGC can't think of. Also of note is what appears to be a level based on Super Mario World--the blocks and background highly suggest so. It is possible that these scenes are just one big Mario remix level, but that seems next to impossible with the size of that airship. With all of these Mario Bros. Levels, NCL's excuse of Luigi being too busy to fight looks more and more like a joke to avoid saying, "He is a secret character."

Also of note are statues of playable characters like Mario, Kirby, and Samus. Mind you, they aren't in Trophy mode, but rather in what appears to be the opening demo, but this further suggests that at least some of the figurine characters will be revealed as playable characters in the future.

Check out the previously overlooked action on this official SSBM movie.
