So, we can assume that when you boot the cartridge up for the first time there will be a few levels available to select from, and many that are "locked". Once any player has earned the right to play in those levels they will permanently remain unlocked.
This comment isn't directed to anyone's thoughts so far, but I must say that if a game isn't worth playing after everything has been unlocked (yeech, I hate that word) then it wasn't much of a game to start with.

Does the 3DS have some type of universal 360-like achievement system? If it doesn't, then I don't see what the issue would be. It's not like you are prevented from still jumping through the hoops that require the bonus content to be unlocked, and nobody will ever see your e-penis gamerscore for comparison. I personally am not so sensitive that I would be offended if I finished the game without using a health spray but that perk had already been saved from the previous owner.

If you were to buy it used, at worst someone has filled the high score table up with 4th grade level dirty words, and at best you wouldn't have to slog through a bunch of inane shit to play the extra levels/characters/whatever. I can just see a steaming mad customer marching into Gamestop, bouncing the cart off the clerk's head, shouting "You mean everything is already unlocked?!? I demand a refund!"
