New Super Mario Brothers Wii has been out for, oh, about 48 hours, but the Wii homebrew scene is already on the case: GBAtemp user Tanks has recreated Level 1-1 from the original Super Mario Bros using a NSMB level editor called Reggie!, developed by a user named Treeki.

I don't know much about homebrewing or modding, but I do know something cute and nostalgic when I see it. Level 1-1 is kind of played out by now—if a level editor exists for any game, it is a divine rule of the universe that Level 1-1 must be recreated—but it's an impressive, and rather hasty, effort nonetheless. The framerate is totally buggered (probably because it's running in a Wii emulator), but I'm not one to judge.

Like I said, this isn't really my area of expertise, but if you're interested in Reggie!, you can check out more details and screenshots here. So far, it features sprite, object, and block editing with more coming soon. I have to wonder if that includes Super Guide functionality, although I doubt it.

If, like me, you take a more hands-off approach to gaming and prefer watching videos and reading text, Nick's got you covered: you can check out his review and his Super Guide demonstration.

I somehow expected a level shaped like Reggie. I'm not entirely sure what is wrong with me but I think it could be serious.

So the song that was played in that video was fucking amazing. Anybody know the source for it?

Reggie! is the greatest name! It's like buying a Porsche and naming it after your best friend's mom.

It was leaked a few days before release wasn't it? that gets them a bit more time to work on this kinda stuff

I just find it amazing how quickly they were able to make something like this. It's things like that really make me appreciate the homebrew scene.

I know it's a test, but the only way I'll really be interested is if they remake the first level of Adventure of Link.

Or just the whole of SMW. Super Mario Bros is good, but Super Mario World is better.

Its been a while since I've played Super Mario Bros., but I'm pretty sure the mushroom in that first bank of blocks is in the wrong place.

Yep, I'm impressed. If the homebrew community can put together a level editor this quickly, I hope it means we might someday see a Wii channel or something like that for NSMB level editing/sharing.

For only having two days to toy with the game, this is very impressive.

I'm loving the game.

My only single complaint is that the soundtrack feels too low key.It's just not as catchy,epic or memorable as past 2D Mario platformer games. However, everything else about the game is satisfying.

One of the best things about the game in my opinion is how it practically includes all all of the classic old enemies from Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World. The enemy variety is excellent.
