You might think it's neat that North American Club Nintendo members will net extra coins (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/20/new-super-mario-bros-2-download-nets-twice-the-nintendo-club-co/) for downloading the digital version of New Super Mario Bros. 2, but Japanese fans get an even sweeter bonus: An entire game (http://club.nintendo.jp/download_campaign/index.html). Specifically, Japanese downloaders will get Donkey Kong: Original Edition, which features a factory level not found in the original NES release (pictured).
As Wired (http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2012/07/nintendo-donkey-kong/) notes, Donkey Kong: Original Edition has never been sold, though it was included as a pre-installed Virtual Console game on the Mario 25th Anniversary Red Wii bundle (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/11/super-mario-wii-and-dsi-xl-systems-coming-to-europe/) in Europe.
