I know Nintendo will never allow it to exist in the open but is this a way to archive the actual levels or just a list of names/codes? I'm genuinely sad thinking about the (very real) possibility of them vanishing forever.


There's a dataset on huggingface[0] from this API that has the data, and a decoder on github[1]

Just move on. I've realized that Nintendo finds a way to make me suffer in disappointment.

Gaming got a lot better when I ripped the Nintendo bandaid off. (And I stopped buying games that are less than 1 year old)


Most likely Nintendo (being an extensive AWS user) will just ship the levels to some S3 bucket; never to see the light of day. Even if each level were just 2 MB, that would cost them only $46/mo. to keep 1 million levels.


It includes the levels themselves. However, there's not any current way to play them. https://pretendo.network/ is working on it.
