Update: Well, this all came to an end rather quickly. These sound file seem to be tied to the unlockable costumes (ex: star with get modern Mario). Thanks NicoRobin.

A pair of Super Mario 64 sound files have been found within Super Mario Maker’s various data. The music in question are the “Powerful Mario” and “Metallic Mario” tracks – both can be listened to below.

This may be interesting, but that doesn’t mean anything will necessarily come from it. We’ll update this post if anything further about the situation develops.

The app has since been updated to support Twitter notifications. Each time you’re online, a notification will be pushed out on Twitter. It’ll give your friends a heads up that you’re available for a battle!

You can check out the Splatoon web app right here.

Splatoon’s fifth North American Splatfest will take place next weekend, Nintendo has revealed.

In the new competition, art and science will face off. Here’s the official notice from the Splatoon Tumblr:

“The next Splatfest draws near! Next week, we pit art against science! Now, we here at the Squid Research Lab know that you’re a talented bunch of artists. We’ve seen what you can do in art contests, on Miiverse and, not to mention, all the rad fan art uploaded to Tumblr! It seems at first glance that art will have no problem taking it all. BUT! When you think about all the greats hanging out on the science side (Bill Nye! Neil deGrasse Tyson! Beakman!), it’s not hard to see how science could win this one!”

This new Splatfest will kick off on September 18 at 9 PM PT (12 AM ET on September 19). It will last through the following day.

There’s a simple code that can be used to unlock the CRT mode. On the level’s loading screen, simply hold down on the d-pad and press B and A together. That’s it!
