GN Version 4.0
Coming from the latest issue of Game Informer...



- dozens of levels across one world map, like Super Mario World
- map can be panned around and explored at any time
- game features an auto-scrolling, Boost Rush mode for more of a challenge
- multiple branching paths that let you pick which way to go
- this is much more than the tradition level choosing, which usually gives you only two paths to choose from
- Game Informer spotted 7 worlds: Acorn Plains, Sparkling Waters (tropical), Frosted Glacier, Layer Cake Desert (complete with melting desserts), areas similar to Forest of Illusion and Sky World and a world surround by a tornado
- mid-world fortresses guarded by Boom-Boom
- end-level castles guarded by Koopalings
- Super Acorn power-up makes you a flying squirrel
- Bowser kidnaps Peach once again

More screens here (thanks FourSwords!)
