This is so because archive memory is based on Flash technology and it technically has a limited number of writes to it. The number is really big but if every program would write many times it could really decrease the life of your calc.
Anyway, press [2nd] then [+] to go to memory menu, press [2] here and then press [1] to see all programs. Select the level set you want and press [Enter] to unarhive it. Archived items have a star (*) next to them. Also note that there are two versions of mario, 1.2 and 2.0 so 2.0 levels will not work on 1.2 and some 1.2 levels will glitch on 2.0. Hope this helps.

Edit | Mario will let you run archived levels, or at least mario 1.2. You can't edit them though. |
