Drop-Road Dash
– Set in the cloudy skies
– Navigate thin pathways made of Donut Lifts
– Donut Lifts are the same platforms from Super Mario Bros. 3 that slowly breakaway before plummeting from sight
– When you can’t jump to save yourself, these precarious platforms are a quick trip back to the restart menu
– Run and find stable places to stand and run between small patrols of ladybug-like Biddybuds
– Red boost pad near the end of the level shoots you across the last narrow platforms at a high speed
Drift-Along Canyon
– Art/assets are like the poison-filled moats and jungles I jumped through in SM3DW
– Toad has ride little lifeboat-sized islands across purple moats
– Toss turnips to activate switches and get hidden gems
– One portion of the level has you tossing turnips while under fire from Missile Banzai Bills
– Missile Banzai Bills are red variants of the recognizable Mario enemy that have limited homing abilities
– New enemy in the level called Mole
– Mole travels by tunneling underground and has a four-leaf clover for a head
– If you plug it from the ground by its head, you’ll get gems and other rewards
– These include an invincible Pickaxe that’ll rip through enemies and patches of grass
Up ‘n’ Down Terrace
– Start off perched atop a two-story gazebo
– Tiny garden on the ground floor has a few maze-like hedges and P-block switches that raise and lower different wooden gates

– All stages have alternate challenges that are tougher
– In this level, the challenge is to clear the stage by only using three switches,
Beep Block Sky Plaza
– Captain Toad riffs on a tense, fun music stage from Super Mario Galaxy with some twists
– Fire Bro is on an an elevated platform near the end of the stage and throws fireballs down to try and hit Toad

– Ladders on the sides of some blocks hang suspended after some blocks have disappeared

Bandai Namco shared various sales figures in its latest financial report. We’ve now learned that One Piece: Unlimited World Red has sold 500,000 copies worldwide.
One Piece: Unlimited World Red originally landed in Japan as a 3DS-only title last November. The game made its way to overseas territories and additional platforms – including Wii U – this past summer.
Nintendo is launching a pair of transparent 2DS systems in Europe tomorrow. It appears that there are plans to bring the same handheld to North America, but only in blue.
A leaked ad from Target confirms that the “2DS Crystal” will be available on November 16. You’ll be able to purchase it on release day for $100 ($30 in savings).
