New Super Mario Bros: 23ds Link New

In the underground ROM hacking and modding community, there is a persistent effort to add features Nintendo never did. One popular fan project is "New Super Mario Bros. 2 Deluxe" or various "online multiplayer patches" that attempt to restore link functionality over the internet using pretendo (a custom Nintendo Network server).

When modders succeed, they often label their work as "New Link Mode" or "NSMB2 Link New." However, these are unofficial, require custom firmware, and cannot be used on standard 3DS hardware without hacking. So if you see a video titled "New Super Mario Bros. 2 3DS Link NEW – Co-op Story Mode!", it is almost certainly a fan-made mod, not an official feature.

The most logical explanation for the phrase involves Download Play. When New Super Mario Bros. 2 launched, it allowed two players to link using only one game card. This was a "new" feature compared to the original New Super Mario Bros. on DS, which required two cartridges for multiplayer.

In that sense, the "link new" could be nostalgic gamers searching for a tutorial on how to use the then-revolutionary single-cartridge linking system. Even today, forums like Reddit and GameFAQs are flooded with questions like:

To clarify: Download Play allows a second player to join only the Coin Battle mode (versus), not the full story mode. Many players mistakenly remember a "new" link that enables true co-op story progression. That does not exist. new super mario bros 23ds link new

  • "New": Part of the official game title.
  • If you were looking for a specific item to purchase or a specific detail about the game, please clarify
