Last week, Nintendo stunned the world by killing off Luigi during its Super Smash Bros. Direct. Now, some fans think the shock death of Mario’s brother was actually a clue pointing to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s under-wraps secret mode.
In the same broadcast last week, Smash Bros. boss Masahiro Sakurai showed off Ultimate’s main menu, where the icon for a major mode was blurred out pending its reveal at a later date.
Fans reckon they have pieced together the mode’s blurred out icon by peering into the video’s pixelation frame-by-frame and then piecing together the unpixelated areas. It’s a remarkable effort, undertaken by Twitter user noctulescent.
