A Super Smash Bros 4 pic released yesterday shows off a level that has an 8-bit design which gives it the appearance of an NES game.

This image is part of the game's director Masahiro Sakurai's Pic of the Day series and it features Mario engaged in a balloon fight in the 3DS version of the upcoming fighting epic. See it here.

"Here's a special stage exclusive to the 3DS version, Balloon Fight!" he wrote. "The stage loops on the left and right sides so you can walk off one side and appear on the other."

These pictures are used to reveal that characters and levels for both versions of the game.

Nintendo confirmed to IGN earlier this month that the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros will launch sometime in the summer this year. Wii U fans will have to wait until the winter to get their hands on this epic fighting title.

Sakurai also discussed how multiplayer will work in the game with the publication. He stated that players can play online with friends and can also engage in a handful of different multiplayer modes. There will be two distinct forms for multiplayer including "For Fun" and "For Glory."

For Fun only records players wins, and pits opponents against each other in random stages that include all items. For Glory levels the playing field by removing items and setting every match on a Final Destination version of certain levels. Wins and Losses will be tracked in For Glory.

Players can customize the rules for regular multiplayer and online play.
