Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS will be undergoing a bit of maintenance next week. The game’s online aspects will be down for 90 minutes on Wednesday.

Here’s the breakdown of times:

– 10:30 PM PT (Tuesday) – 12:00 AM PT
– 1:30 AM ET – 3:00 AM ET
– 6:30 AM in the UK – 8:00 AM in the UK
– 7:30 AM in Europe – 9:00 AM in Europe

I’m mainly bringing this maintenance up since the new Super Mario Maker stage is being added next week. I imagine that it will be available shortly after the servers go back up!

Twitter user NWPlayer123, who is known for data mining Nintendo games, has come across an interesting discovery. It appears that there are files within the game for the Angry Sun. That’s leading to speculation of DLC, though there’s definitely no such confirmation currently.

NWPlayer123 also came across a couple of other interesting things. Also found through data mining, it seems as though there were originally plans to allow players to place Bullet Bills without a launcher. Moreover, Goomba’s Shoe was considered for New Super Mario Bros. U mode.
