Nintendo promised downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros. 2. Today, the company finally provided a look at DLC in the game through a (very short) Nintendo Direct presentation.

Take a look below:

So here’s the deal. Starting on October 2, New Super Mario Bros. 2 DLC will be released for 200 yen a piece.

There are three packs planned. First up is “Go! Go! Gold Mario Pack”, which offers three courses and up to 30,000 coins. Next, “Challenge the Record Pack A”. Those who receive the top worldwide scores will be featured on the site’s homepage. Last but not least is “Survival Panic Pack” for the best players out there.

Keep in mind that DLC packs aren’t random. There are fixed three stages each.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 owners will be able to access DLC via the “Shop” button on the bottom of the Coin Rush mode menu. You’ll need to read a SpotPass notice for this to appear – this should be delivered on October 2 mid-day.

Details on Nintendo’s North American plans should be coming shortly.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, responding to this and the handheld’s sales in general, jokingly said:

“When he said that, I had a sharp pain in my neck. It was in the middle of the night, and I viscerally reacted to it.”

Fils-Aime followed up with more serious commentary, confirming that sales in Japan have indeed been better than sales in North America:
