| Description | DANGER! This pack is for pro players only! |
The Impossible Pack is the tenth and final downloadable course pack for the Coin Rush mode of New Super Mario Bros. 2, released along with the Mystery Adventures Pack on December 20, 2012. The difficulty rating is even higher than five stars out of five (above the Nerve-Wrack Pack) and the icon depicts Dry Bowser's emblem on a red-and-black-striped background. Unlike any other courses in the game, there are no coins in any of the courses in this pack, and Star Coins are absent as well; players can only earn coins based upon the time remaining at the end of each stage, hence the 100 coin target. The courses also contain no power-ups; if the player has the Gold Flower in their inventory at the start, they cannot use it at any point. Additionally, at the beginning of each stage is a green + Clock barred by several blocks, which only disappear when not playing as White Raccoon Mario.
Difficulty rating[edit]
In the standard game, the difficulty rating is displayed as "Difficulty: DANGER!" (compared to the Nerve-Wrack Pack which is displayed as "Difficulty: ★★★★★"). In Japanese, the difficulty rating is displayed as 「あそぶなきけん！」 (compared to the Nerve-Wrack Pack which is displayed as 「なんいど ★★★★★」).
In the Gold Edition, the difficulty rating is displayed with five copies of Bowser's emblem (as "Difficulty: ") compared to the Nerve-Wrack Pack which is displayed with five Super Star icons and no blanked-out star outlines (as "Difficulty: 
").[2] The Gold Edition also added in-game descriptions for each DLC course pack, and the phrase "DANGER!" has been moved there. (The equivalent also applies in Japanese.)
On the official Nintendo of America website, the difficulty is displayed as five stars, identically to the Nerve-Wrack Pack.[3] On the official Japanese website, the difficulty is displayed as 「難易度 測定不能」 ("Difficulty level: Unmeasurable") instead of 「難易度 ★★★★★」 ("Difficulty level ★★★★★").[4]
