'''''Super Mario Maker''''' (tentatively called '''''Mario Maker''''' when announced at E3 2014) is a 2D platforming and level creation game for the [[Wii U]].

To build a course, players can use a variety of objects such as [[block]]s, [[List of enemies|enemies]] and [[List of items|items]]. They can also set a theme and incorporate their course into the styles of four previous ''Super Mario'' games (''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''), each with distinct mechanics and features. While the game typically uses the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|GamePad]], whose touchscreen is used to design courses, other controllers such as the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]], [[Wii#Wii Classic Controller|Wii Classic Controller]], and [[Wii U#Wii U Pro Controller|Wii U Pro Controller]] are also compatible.<ref name="NEW Super Mario Maker Details">{{cite|language=en|author=GameXplain|date=July 29, 2015|url=youtu.be/aDilf1Rue5U|title=NEW ''Super Mario Maker'' Details: 99 amiibo Costumes (Isabelle!), Pro Controller Support, & File Size|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 1, 2024}}</ref> Additionally, the game has compatibility with [[amiibo]], which can be scanned to unlock different [[Mystery Mushroom]] costumes based on the amiibo figurine.

The game is set up so that players can design their very own 2D ''Super Mario'' courses. They are able to set up and edit the length and width of the stages, the course's theme, and game styles, and are able to use various objects, items, and enemies. Players are able to switch between editing and playing their created stages, and can easily make any changes using the tools provided. A outline mode can also be used to show Mario's movements and to make positioning objects easier.

An outline mode can also be used to show Mario's movements and to make positioning objects easier.  


The game starts with only one row of course elements, as the game features a unlocking system, in which a set of elements will be available for the next day, so long as they spend at least five minutes using the tools they have. As part of a Day 1 patch, however, the elements can be made available immediately by spending enough time placing elements on the course. Players can also add [[Sound Effects]] to their courses, using the SFX frog (which uses the frog icon from ''Mario Paint''). These effects happen when Mario walks over them in the play mode, with some effects generating visuals. Players can even record their own sound effects and add them to the game. However, these custom sound effects are replaced with a generic parrot/chicken squawk when uploaded to Course World.<ref>[http://www.polygon.com/2015/8/20/9183179/super-mario-maker-gameplay-custom-sound-effects]</ref>

In ''10 Mario Challenge'', the goal is to clear 8 randomly selected sample courses with up to 10 lives. Players can obtain up to 3 1-Ups in each course, but must be able to complete the course to collect them. As many as 56 different sample courses appear in this mode, and they'll be added onto the Coursebot's sample courses list when completed.

===Course World===
===Course World===
Course World is ''Super Mario Maker''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s dedicated way to share course creations with the rest of the user base. The sharing system is similar to what was done with ''[[wikipedia:Pushmo World|Pushmo World]]'' and the later games in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]]. Uploading courses is limited to 10 at first, but players will be able to earn the ability to upload more when they are given more stars by players.

The sharing system is similar to what was done with ''{{wp|Pushmo World}}'' and the later games in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]]. Uploading courses is limited to 10 at first, but players will be able to earn the ability to upload more when they are given more stars by players.


In order to share a course online, players must be able to complete it, and have access to [[Miiverse]]. Players can download, play, and even alter courses made by other players, but they are unable to re-upload those altered courses to the online servers, as to avoid issues of stealing. Once a course is uploaded, players can comment on it, and/or choose to give it a star if they liked it.

Once a course is uploaded, players can comment on it, and/or choose to give it a star if they liked it.


It should be noted, however, that uploaded courses that haven't been played within a set amount of days can end up being removed from the ''Super Mario Maker'' servers without any warning. The Miiverse posts for the courses will only be removed if the player deletes the courses; if deleted by Nintendo, the Miiverse posts will still be present, but the course IDs will not work.
Players can also bookmark courses on the official [https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/ Super Mario Maker Bookmark] website, then access the bookmarked courses in the courses section of Course World.

====100 Mario Challenge====
Course World also features a variant of 10 Mario Challenge, known as 100 Mario Challenge, which gives the player 100 Marios to clear a certain number of user-created courses; 8 courses on Easy; 16 courses on Normal and Expert. Courses marked as the selected difficulty (based on clear percentage) are used. Unlike with 10 Mario Challenge, players can save their progress while playing the 100 Mario Challenge, and they can choose to skip a selected course to try another one instead. At first, only the Easy and Normal difficulty levels can be selected, but the player can unlock the Expert difficulty by completing the Normal difficulty 100 Mario Challenge at least once.
Course World also features a variant of 10 Mario Challenge, known as 100 Mario Challenge (Japanese: 100人マリオチャレンジ, ''100 Nin Mario Charenji''), which gives the player 100 lives to clear a certain number of user-created courses; 8 courses on Easy; 16 courses on Normal and Expert; 6 courses on Super Expert. Courses marked as the selected difficulty (based on clear percentage) are used. Unlike with 10 Mario Challenge, players can save their progress while playing the 100 Mario Challenge, and they can choose to skip a selected course to try another one instead. At first, only the Easy and Normal difficulty levels can be selected, but players can unlock the Expert difficulty by completing the Normal difficulty 100 Mario Challenge at least once, and if they clear Expert once, then the players will unlock the Super Expert difficulty.
 
Clearing 100 Mario Challenge will reward the player with a random Mystery Mushroom costume. However, there is a limit to how many costumes can be unlocked on a single difficulty level; this in return, means that the player has to complete all the difficulty levels a certain number of times in order to unlock every random costume in the game.
<!-- Below is the possible unlock limit for each difficulty level. It is hidden until fully confirmed.


Without using any amiibo, the player can unlock up to 95 different Mystery Mushroom costumes in 100 Mario Challenge. The unlock limits are as follows:

Prior to the release of update version 1.40, without using any amiibo, the player could unlock up to 95 different Mystery Mushroom costumes in 100 Mario Challenge. The unlock limits were originally as follows:
*Easy: 20 clears
*Easy: 20 clears
*Normal: 45 clears

*Expert: 30 clears
*Expert: 30 clears
 
As of version 1.40, additional costumes have been added onto 100 Mario Challenge, which also increases the unlock limits for each difficulty level (except Easy).
If the player uses any amiibo to unlock the costumes, then the unlock limit for each difficulty level will decrease. Also, when the players have unlocked all the Mystery Mushroom costumes at a certain difficulty level, a notice will appear to notify them.
*Normal: 48 clears
 
*Expert: 34 clears
-->
*Super Expert: 5 clears
If the player uses any amiibo to unlock the costumes, then the unlock limit for each difficulty level decreases, depending on which amiibo figures were scanned. Also, when the players have unlocked all the Mystery Mushroom costumes at a certain difficulty level, a notice will appear to notify them.


==Differences from original games==
==Differences from original games==
Although the recreations are mostly faithful, each style has some minor differences from its source material (disregarding console limitations, etc.):
Although the recreations are mostly faithful, each style has some minor differences from its source material (disregarding console limitations, etc.). Some of these changes bring one or more styles in line with others, although this is not universal (for an example of a difference that remains, Koopa shells cannot be picked up in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' style).
 
===General===
===General===
* Thwomps can be stood on, but Mario will take damage unless he is riding a Yoshi.
*The HUD for all four styles is laid out like the HUD from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', with the coin counter on the left and the score and time counters in the top-right.
* All castle areas end with a boss bridge and an axe. This is to keep consistent with ''Super Mario Bros.''
*An in-game "second" on the [[Time Limit|timer]] is actually one second, as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', rather than 0.4, 0.6 or 0.7 seconds.
* Mario does not need to enter the fortress in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles. He just needs to grab the Goal Pole to complete the level.
*Button inputs are based on ''New Super Mario Bros. U''; as such, any inputs performed by {{button|NES|B}} in the NES titles (e.g. dashing, grabbing objects) are now {{button|WiiU|X}}/{{button|WiiU|Y}} (although ingame settings allow players to map them to {{button|WiiU|B}}/{{button|WiiU|Y}}), inputs performed by {{button|SNES|A}} in ''Super Mario World'' (e.g. [[Spin Jump]]) are now any one of {{button|WiiU|L}}/{{button|WiiU|R}}/{{button|WiiU|ZL}}/{{button|WiiU|ZR}}.
** It's also possible to jump over the flagpole.
*Mario reverts to [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] in all styles if he is hit as [[Fire Mario]], [[Raccoon Mario]], [[Caped Mario]] or [[Propeller Mario]]. In the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario World'' and Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' games, he reverted directly to [[Small Mario]] (although in ''Super Mario World'', he could have a replacement power-up stored in the [[item storage|Item Stock]], which is absent here).
** Also Mario does not have to reach the door after beating a castle level in all 4 themes.
**Similarly, if a "second tier" power-up is grabbed as [[Small Mario]], he will go straight to the appropriate form instead of only growing to [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] like in  ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
* To be consistent with non-Japanese versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and all versions of ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', Mario can take two hits if he has a "second tier" power-up (such as a [[Fire Flower]]). That is, he will revert to [[Super Mario]] instead of [[Small Mario]].
*As in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', Mario cycles between his normal and Fire Mario forms when he obtains a [[Fire Flower]] and a rainbow cycle when he collects a [[Super Star]]. Previously, in ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]'', whenever Mario collected a Fire Flower or a Super Star, he cycled through a set series of different palettes (Mario's current palette and the three current palettes of the other sprites in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3''; the palettes of Mario, Fire Mario, Luigi and Fire Luigi in ''Super Mario World''). This is achieved by overlaying a rainbow palette filter over top of the white-colored Mario model.
** Similarly, if a "second tier" power-up is grabbed as [[Small Mario]], he will go straight to the appropriate form, instead of only growing to [[Super Mario]], as in the original ''Super Mario Bros.''.
*[[Bowser]] cannot throw [[hammer]]s; [[Bowser Jr.]] (with wings) has that option instead. However, a [[Hammer Bro]] or winged Bowser Jr. can be put on Bowser's head to simulate this.
** Power-ups in ? Blocks couldn't have status dependency (or couldn't be edited to change depending on Mario's status). For example, a Super Mushroom placed in a ? Block won't change into a Fire Flower while Mario is in Super form. This was prior to the 1.2 update on November 4th, however.  
*All castle areas end with a boss bridge and an [[Axe]], even in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'' styles (where the original games featured boss fights such that the boss had to be directly defeated to progress).  
*The Ghost House and Airship themes are available in all four styles, even though airships didn't appear in ''Super Mario Bros.'' or ''Super Mario World'', and ghost houses didn't appear before ''Super Mario World''. As such, new music has been composed for these themes, arranged to fit the styles of the original games<ref>Nintendo World Report TV (June 23, 2015). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HavOMKYuvTQ" Super Mario Maker - Level Creation Fun (E3 2015)"]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 9, 2015.</ref>.
**The axe itself is much bigger, akin to the first phase of Bowser's boss battle in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' (albeit without the giant switch that activates it, as it is activated by touching the axe itself as in ''Super Mario Bros.''), whereas in ''Super Mario Bros.'' it was the same size as power-ups and blocks.
* In the ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles, Yoshi can be used in the Ghost House, Airship, and Castle themes, despite never appearing in, or even being allowed in those courses. New Yoshi drum beats were added to match the music.
**Similarly, all airship areas end with a normal goal rather than a boss fight.
** Similarly, new Yoshi drum beats were added to the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' Underwater music, since Yoshi did not appear in underwater levels in either ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' or ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' (where most of the music of ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' originated).
*It is possible to jump over the [[Goal Pole]], Axe or [[Giant Gate]]; whereas the original games treated these as touching the goal. The player must now directly touch the goal to complete the course.
* Many items found in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' ([[Frog Suit]], [[Tanooki Suit]], [[Hammer Suit]], [[P-Wing]]) and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' ([[Super Acorn]], [[P-Acorn]], [[Ice Flower]], [[Mini Mushroom]], [[Penguin Suit]]) are not available. In addition, the [[P-Balloon]] from ''Super Mario World'' is also not available.
**Anything that happens after touching the Goal Pole, the [[Goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''-styled levels, the Giant Gate, or the axe is purely cosmetic - Mario does not need to enter the fortress or progress off-screen.
** However, these power-ups are referenced in the Weird Mario easter eggs.
**Gates and Goal Poles are found inside ghost houses rather than outside.
* [[Lakitu's Cloud]] in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' styles is wider and can be ridden on, consistent with the ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles.
*In the ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can be used in the [[Ghost House]], [[Airship]] and [[Castle]] themes, despite never appearing in or even being allowed in those courses. New Yoshi drum beats were added to match the music.
* The Underground, Underwater, and Castle backgrounds have been given extra details (statues, railings, skeletal remains, seaweed, etc.), when originally only the Overworld had such details. This also extends to the Ghost House and Airship backgrounds (lanterns, grandfather clocks, bolts, small flags, etc.), which didn't feature extra background details when shown off at E3 2015.
**Similarly, new Yoshi drum beats were added to the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' Underwater music, since Yoshi did not appear in underwater courses in either ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' or ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' (where most of the music of ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' originated).
* The HUD for all four games is in the style of the HUD from ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', with the coin counter on the left and the score and time counters on the right.
*[[Thwomp]]s can be stood on, but Mario will take damage unless he is in a [[Goomba's Shoe]], spinning, or riding a Yoshi.
* An in-game "second" on the [[Time Limit|timer]] is actually one second, rather than 0.4, 0.6 or 0.7 seconds.
*Mario can "soft-toss" carriable items (such as [[trampoline]]s, shells and [[POW Block]]s) by releasing {{button|WiiU|Y}} while tilting down on {{button|WiiU|LeftStick}}, allowing Mario to drop them without throwing or activating it.
* Bowser cannot throw hammers; Bowser Jr. (with wings) has that option instead. However, a Hammer Bro or a winged Bowser Jr. can be put on Bowser's head to simulate this.
*The Ghost House and Airship themes are available in all four styles. (Airships did not appear in ''Super Mario Bros.'' or ''Super Mario World'' while Ghost Houses did not appear before ''Super Mario World''. As such, new music has been composed for these themes, arranged to fit the styles of the original games.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo World Report TV|date=June 23, 2015|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=HavOMKYuvTQ|title=''Super Mario Maker'' - Level Creation Fun (E3 2015)|language=en|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 1, 2024}}</ref>) Interestingly, the Airship's Ground and Semisolid Platforms in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style are in a metallic color scheme and design as opposed to wooden and ropey, and the Ghost House's Ground and Semisolid Platforms are in turquoise and gray for the ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' styles respectively to be consistent with the original games' palette color limitations.
* In ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and ''Super Mario World'', whenever Mario collects a Fire Flower or a Super Star, he cycles through different palettes (Mario's current palette and the three current palettes of the other sprites in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and the palettes of Mario, Fire Mario, Luigi, and Fire Luigi in ''Super Mario World''). In this game, to be consistent with ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', Mario cycles between his normal and Fire Mario forms when he obtains a Fire Flower, and a rainbow cycle when he collects a Super Star.
*Defeating multiple enemies with shells or a [[Super Star]] in all styles cause the points to increase when the player defeats each enemy, and when the player defeats the eighth enemy, they earn an extra life in a similar manner to the infinite 1-Up trick, as in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
* Mario can swim better underwater when holding an item in all styles that allow carrying items; this is to keep consistent with ''Super Mario World''.
*[[Lakitu's Cloud]] in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' styles is wider and can be ridden on, consistent with the ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles.
* Gates and flag poles are found inside ghost houses rather than outside.
*Hammer Bros. in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' styles (and by extension [[Sledge Bro]]s. in the latter game style) throw hammers less frequently, as in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', thus they are much easier to avoid than they were in the original games.
* Enemies don't turn into coins when Fire Mario's fireball hits an enemy, consistent with the other ''Mario'' games.
*[[P Switch]]es can be carried, as in ''Super Mario World''.
*Mario can swim better underwater when holding an item in all styles that allow carrying items as in the original ''Super Mario World''.
*Semisolid Platforms in the second phase while using the Ground theme in the ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario World'', and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles are darker versions of the solid Ground elements.
*Spike Traps do not appear as beds of spikes as in the mainstream games; instead, they are block-shaped and can be placed in mid-air.
*A new cutscene for the 100 Mario Challenge on Normal, Expert and Super Expert difficulties depicting Mario rescuing Peach is created, in the style of arches and a clear daytime sky, and Peach's quotes are "Thank you, Mario, You're my hero!" on Normal and "Oh, Mario! It can't be easy to make it here. You truly are my hero!" on Expert and Super Expert. The style of the arches are the same in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'' styles, but toned slightly differently.
**Also, the alternate cutscene where Mario encounters Toad after clearing the 10 Mario Challenge or the 100 Mario Challenge on Easy difficulty, Toad does not thank Mario, but instead acts more serious about the situation where Peach has been taken to another castle. Toad's quote is "Mario! It's terrible! Princess Peach has been taken to another castle!".
*Warp Doors and [[Beanstalk]]s now only send Mario to another section within same area, while pipes are the only means of transporting him from the main area to the sub-area and vice-versa.
*Enemies do not transform into coins when Fire Mario's fireball hits any enemy, as in ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
*When a Monty Mole pops out, its cutout is not shown.
*Red [[Cannon]]s, [[One-Way Wall]]s, [[Music Block]]s, Fast [[Lava Lift]]s, [[Shoe Goomba|Stiletto Goomba]]s, [[Bumper (Super Mario series)|Bumper]]s, [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Maker)|Pink Coin]]s, [[Key Door]]s and [[Fire Koopa Clown Car]]s were not present in any of the original games.
*Buzzy and Spiny Shells now have their "empty" forms, and they can be worn onto Mario's head.
*The points of Skewers in the mainstream series were pointed, as the name of the obstacle would suggest. In ''Super Mario Maker'', the points are flattened. They will only cause the course to rumble if coming into contact with Ground, Semisolid Platforms, Mushroom Platforms, and Spike Traps.
*Mushroom Platforms can now be used in the underwater course theme, consistent with other themes, but with stalks in the forms of scales and the caps inside out.
*[[3-Up Moon]]s which were once present in ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' do not exist. Instead, the players reserve up to three extra lives if they clear the course by collecting 1-Up Mushrooms within the course on the 10 Mario Challenge and 100 Mario Challenge.
*[[Big Boo]]s who were present in the latter two games do not appear. Instead, Boo Buddies can be enlarged with a Super Mushroom and retain their physical appearances, consistent with other game styles.
*Lava in the Castle theme in all four styles are across the entire course and at the very bottom and in front of all course elements that can be placed there, instead of being between solid platforms and various heights.
*Boo Buddies have never had the ability to shrink and grow in the main ''Super Mario'' franchise. However, this effect can be accomplished by adding wings to the Boo Buddies.
*[[Muncher]]s, originally invincible to direct attacks, can now be defeated with a giant Goomba's Shoe, Spiny Shells, or [[POW Block]]s.
*[[Coin Heaven]] does not exist in any of the four styles.
*''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'' styles use the same font for received points as ''Super Mario Bros.'' They also share the new green 1UP icon for receiving extra lives.
**Furthermore, ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'' styles now have a drop shadow effect on all in-game sprites and elements.

* Moving platforms and mushroom platforms could not be jumped through from underneath in the original game; this was changed to be consistent with the platforms in ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
*The screen can scroll backwards, allowing the player to backtrack, and auto-scrolling is present as an option.
* All shells now have spinning sprites, unlike in the original. This is consistent with the other styles.
*The player gets extra height from jumping on an enemy, just like all games since ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''.
* The player gets extra height from jumping on an enemy, just like all games since ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''.
*Hitting blocks and bricks with shells will cause them to break or otherwise react as if Mario were to hit them, consistent with the other styles.
* The player can now fully backtrack.
*Mario can jump through moving platforms and mushroom platforms, as in later games.
* Water and lava are animated, and trampolines make sounds when Mario jumps on them, much like in the other styles and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]''.
*Mario can hit ? Blocks and bricks underwater, consistent with other styles.
* Hitting blocks and bricks with shells will cause them to break or otherwise react as if Mario were to hit them, consistent with the other styles.
*Enemies typically found on land, such as Goombas, can be stomped underwater.
* The player can hit coin blocks underwater, just as in other styles.
*Visually, beanstalks now have [[Piranha Plant]] heads on their tops, making them consistent with other styles.
* The beanstalks have Piranha Plant heads on their tops, making them consistent with other styles.
*Lava in the Castle theme is animated and trampolines make sounds when Mario jumps on them, much like in the other styles and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]''.
* Enemies no longer have different color schemes in underground or castle levels, except for Munchers, Chain Chomps, Bob-ombs, Buzzy Beetles, and Bullet Bills, due to them being black.
**Lava now has a hitbox, meaning Mario now loses a life instantly when he touches lava, rather than passing through it and falling off-screen. This is to keep consistent with other game styles.
*The Underwater theme is completely underwater, consistent with other game styles.
*All shells now have spinning sprites, like in the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series.
*Enemies and [[? Block]]s do not have different color schemes in underground or castle levels, except for Munchers, [[Chain Chomp]]s, [[Bob-omb]]s, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s and [[Bullet Bill]]s, which would otherwise blend in with the black background.
*[[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mushroom]], [[Mystery Mushroom]], [[Goomba's Shoe]]s, and the [[Big Mushroom]] did not exist in the original game.
*No timer event exists to trigger [[fireworks]] after completing a stage, although a firework SFX exists and can be triggered by Mario walking from the Goal Pole if the level designer includes them.
*The Underground, Underwater and Castle backgrounds have been given extra details (statues, railings, skeletal remains, seaweed, etc.), when originally only the Overworld had such.
**This also extends to the Ghost House and Airship backgrounds (lanterns, grandfather clocks, bolts, small flags, etc.), which did not feature extra background details when shown off at E3 2015.
*P Switches and Warp Doors are now present. The Warp Doors in this game's style are similar in appearance to the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s doors, but in green.
*Boss music can now be played, but is taken from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s Enemy Battle theme. (''Super Mario Bros.'' had no boss theme.)
**For similar reasons, the P Switch's music is taken from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
*Palette color restrictions do not necessarily apply to newly-created sprites, including most [[Costume Mario]] characters, which feature their color scheme from later games.
*Shells can collect coins, unlike in the original game in which they would pass through them.
*The first Semisolid Platform type in the Ground theme has a wider base compared to its original design.


===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
* P Switches could not be carried in the original game, but they can here. This is consistent with ''Super Mario World''.
*As part of the use of the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' HUD layout, the [[P-Meter]] is placed under the coin counter in the top left of the screen, rather than below the playing area.
* Fire Flowers were colored white and blue in the original, but are colored red and green here. This is consistent with ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
*[[Raccoon Mario]] can defeat [[Dry Bones]], similar to [[Cape Mario]]'s mechanics in the ''Super Mario World'' style.
* Similar to its [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|GBA remake]], the score counter is not present on the bottom of the screen. The P-Meter has also been moved to below the coin counter.  
*Instead of reusing their ''Super Mario Bros.'' sprite with a different palette, Buzzy Beetles have a new sprite with a black outline to better fit with other sprites in the style.
* Bowser hopped in place in the original game, but here he hops forwards and backwards, and can jump normally; this is consistent with the other styles.
*Fire Flowers are colored red, rather than white or blue.
* Mario cannot go into the background when ducking on a White Block platform. Instead, Mario will do a short hop in-place and a noise will play.<ref>GameXplain (August 22, 2015). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owRYdqX4twM "Cool Bits - Super Mario Maker's SMB3 White Block Secret"]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 9, 2015.</ref>
*When Mario touches the [[Goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]], he does not get a card, as they do not exist in ''Super Mario Maker''. Instead, he receives points for whatever that was displayed in the roulette at the time he touches it. A [[Super Mushroom]] is worth 100 points, a [[Fire Flower]] is worth 800 points, while a [[Super Star]] is worth 4,000 points. A [[1-Up Mushroom]] is added to the roulette to give Mario a chance at getting an extra life instead of points.
* Mario could not get out of the Kuribo's Shoe unless he hit an enemy in the original, but here Mario can exit the shoe by pressing ZR. This is consistent with the Yoshi mechanics in ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
*As of their introduction, [[Checkpoint Flag]]s can be used in this style, when in the original, checkpoints were not available, due to the shorter level length.
* When Mario touches the [[Goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|Goal]], he doesn't get a card, as they do not exist in ''Super Mario Maker''. Instead, he recieves points for whatever that was displayed in the roulette at the time he touches it. A [[Super Mushroom]] is worth 100 points, a [[Fire Flower]] is worth 800 points, and a [[Super Star]] is worth 4,000 points. A [[1-Up Mushroom]] is added to the roulette to give Mario a chance at getting an extra life instead of points.
*Bowser hops backward and forward between ground pounds, rather than merely hopping in place.
*[[Raccoon Mario]] can defeat [[Dry Bones]]. This is to be consistent with [[Caped Mario]]'s mechanics in the ''Super Mario World'' style.
**As in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Bowser's lower body can damage Mario, rather than being intangible.
* Checkpoint Flags can be used in this style, when in the original, checkpoints were not available, due to the shorter level length. This is to keep consistent with the other styles.
*Mario can exit a Goomba's Shoe by pressing the R or ZR Buttons, as with the Yoshi mechanics in the other styles, rather than being stuck in the shoe until damage is taken.
*Mario cannot go into the background when ducking on a white Semisolid Platform. Instead, Mario will do a short hop in-place and a noise will play.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=GameXplain|date=August 22, 2015|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=owRYdqX4twM|title=Cool Bits - Super Mario Maker's SMB3 White Block Secret|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 1, 2024}}</ref>
*The following power-ups present in the original game are not included: [[Frog Suit]], [[Tanooki Suit]], [[Statue Mario]], [[Hammer Suit]] and [[P-Wing]]. Instead, the Frog Suit and Statue Mario now serve as Mystery Mushroom costumes in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style. However, Weird Mario in any of the power-ups all present in the original game will appear if the player repeatedly taps the normal Warp Door in Edit Mode.
*Warp Doors which were originally doorless entryways are swing-open doors based on ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. The Key Doors prior to unlocking with the Key depict the keyholes in the center as opposed to below the door knob, consistent with other game styles.
*The Boom Boom and Koopaling boss music is the only music played for a boss theme. The enemy battle music is instead used for the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style.
*When Mario rescues Peach in this game's style after beating the 100 Mario Challenge on Normal or Expert, Peach stands still and does not have her crying pose.
*In the Airship theme, most of the Ground blocks representing boards and logs have different patterns except for the wide vertical pillars.
*Functionally, [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s and [[Fire Bar]]s replace Missile Bills from the original game and [[Roto-Disc]]s, consistent with other styles.
*Aside from being two times bigger, big enemies are now identical to normal sized enemies in appearance, consistent with ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
**[[Big Goomba]]s split into two normal sized Goombas when jumped on, consistent with ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
**Mario can no longer grab Big Koopa Troopa shells, consistent with ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
*Mushroom Platforms actually take the form of real mushrooms. Originally, there were Wooden Platforms that would take the shape of the latter.
*Dry Bones turn around at edges of platforms instead of going forward, consistent with ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
*Thwomps are gray rather than blue, consistent with ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' as well as in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' and ''Super Mario Advance 4'' remakes.
*Super and 1-Up Mushrooms always move rightward when released from a block, regardless of the direction Mario is facing.
*Mario keeps facing left or right while entering a pipe, rather than looking at the screen.
*As in ''Super Mario Advance 4'', ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', Mario can carry objects through pipes to another area.
*Piranha Plants and Fire Piranha Plants are always red and have shorter height, rather than some being green and taller, consistent with later titles.
**Fire Piranha Plants' head has a redrawn sprite.
*Chain Chomps are tied to a stump rather than a Hard Block, consistent with ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
*Red Koopa Paratoopas turn around and look at Mario when he jumps over or passes under them, rather than keep facing left.
*Mario can stomp, grab and kick upside-down Spiny shells safely, as in ''Super Mario Advance 4'' and the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, whereas in the original game Mario would take damage from them even when they are flipped upside down.
*Fire Mario can no longer throw fireballs while climbing a vine.
*Shells function properly while being lifted by Raccoon Mario's tail whip, rather than becoming intangible.
*Munchers no longer turn into coins by P Switches, or become [[Empty Block]]s by Raccoon Mario's tail whip.


===''Super Mario World''===
===''Super Mario World''===
* [[P Switch]]es turn [[Block (empty)|Used blocks]] into [[Coin]]s in the original game, but here they turn [[Rotating Block]]s into coins. This is consistent with ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', in which [[P Switch]]es turn [[Brick Block]]s into [[Coin]]s ([[Rotating Block]]s are the ''Super Mario World'' equivalent to [[Brick Block]]s).
*There is no [[item storage|Item Stock]].
* Bowser now features a new sprite that more closely resembles his modern design than his sprite in the original game. He can also be used outside of the Koopa Clown Car, consistent with the other styles.
*Fire Piranha Plants replace [[Jumping Fire Piranha Plant]]s.
* Yoshi cannot change Red Koopa Shells into fireballs after eating them. This is consistent with ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', as well as due to the lack of Yellow and Blue Koopa Troopas.
*The enemy originally known as "Goombas" in the original game is now referred to as "[[Galoomba]]s" by the UI, matching their appearance from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' onward.
**Instead, when Yoshi eats a Lava Bubble, he spits three fireballs, similar to the original Red Koopa Shell fireballs. Yoshi can eat fire from a Rocket Engine and release a single fireball.
*[[Hammer Bro]]s. (and by extension [[Sledge Bro]]s.), [[Rocky Wrench]]es, Chain Chomps, [[cannon]]s, [[Burner]]s, and [[Fire Bar]]s did not exist in the original game.
**In the original game, the players got a 1-up for finding a Yoshi Egg when they already had a Yoshi, but in this game, another Yoshi hatches. If two Yoshis are present, the egg hatches into a [[Super Mushroom]] if the player is [[Small Mario]], a [[Fire Flower]] if [[Super Mario]], a [[Cape Feather]] if [[Fire Mario]], and a [[1-Up Mushroom]] if [[Caped Mario]].
*The players cannot clear the course just by passing through the [[Giant Gate]]; they must touch the tape. Touching the tape at the very top results in a 1-up, similar to the flagpole in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''
** Yoshi can eat hammers and spit them out. This is consistent with ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
**[[Goal Star]]s do not exist. Instead, Mario receives points equal to one hundred times the number of stars displayed when touching the tape. He can get either 500, 1,000, 2,500 or 4,000 points depending on where the tape is.
** Like ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and the latter's corresponding style, Yoshi has collision detection, which means Mario will "push" him if he runs into him.
**When Mario passes through the Giant Gate while the [[bonus game (Super Mario World)|bonus game]] theme plays, the ending fanfare will be from this bonus game.
* Upon clearing the [[Giant Gate]], Mario stops and turns to face it, rather than keep walking away from it.
**Upon clearing the [[Giant Gate]], Mario stops and turns to face it, rather than continuing to walk away from it. And if he walks to his ending mark after touching the tape, he will retain his "peace sign" pose until the screen transitions.
** The players cannot clear the course just by passing through the [[Giant Gate]]; they must touch the tape. Touching the tape at the very top results in a 1-up, similar to the flagpole in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''.
***If he does not reach the designated posistion before his "peace sign" pose, he will face left and duck after the pose, similar to the other game styles.
** [[Goal Star]]s no longer exist. Instead, Mario receives one hundred times the number displayed when touching the tape. He can get either 500, 1,000, 2,500, or 4,000 points depending on where the tape is.
**After the course clear fanfare, the whistle sound effect and the iris transition, used in the original game to take the player back to the map, is not implemented.
** When Mario passes through the Giant Gate while the [[Bonus Game (Super Mario World)|Bonus Game]] theme plays, the ending fanfare will be from this Bonus Game.
*The [[Midway Gate]] is replaced by the [[Checkpoint Flag]], as used in the other styles.
* In the original game, when Mario loses a life, he goes into his death pose, but it isn't animated until he starts flying upwards. In ''Super Mario Maker'', his death pose is now animated from the moment he dies onward.
**This is because the Midway Gate is one block wider than the Checkpoint Flag.
* [[Bob-omb]]s and [[Muncher]]s have more detailed sprites.  
**However, after touching this flag, the sound of the Midway Gate is used.
* Yoshi's sprite has green arms, instead of the orange arms in the original. The green is also of a brighter tone, thus making him resemble his ''Super Mario Advance 2'' sprite.
*Bowser now features a new sprite that more closely resembles his modern design than his sprite in the original game. He can also be used outside of the Koopa Clown Car, consistent with the other styles.
* The [[Koopa Clown Car]] has been scaled down to the size of a Junior Clown Car.
*When in a Koopa Clown Car, Bowser will throw Bob-ombs instead of [[Mechakoopa]]s, as with Bowser Jr.'s second fight in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
* Grinders, Lava Bubbles, and some other enemies can no longer be spin-jumped on.
* Fishbones home in on the player, as in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series.
* When in a Koopa Clown Car, Bowser will throw Bob-ombs instead of [[Mechakoopa]]s, similarly to Bowser Jr.'s second fight in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
**This is also due to the Mechakoopa's lack of presence in the game.
**This is also due to the Mechakoopa's lack of presence in the game.
**Bowser Jr. will throw Green Koopa Shells when in a Koopa Clown Car.
**Bowser Jr. will throw Green Koopa Shells when in a Koopa Clown Car.
* When Mario goes through doors while carrying a P-Switch or Koopa Shell, it doesn't disappear.
*The [[Koopa Clown Car]] has been scaled down to the size of a Junior Clown Car.
* When the timer reaches the last 100 seconds in the original game, the music speeds up uninterrupted while the warning simultaneously plays. In this game, however, the music stops as the warning plays, then restarts with the faster tempo. This is consistent with the other styles.
*Yoshi cannot change Red Koopa Shells into fireballs after eating them. This is consistent with ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', as well as due to the lack of Yellow and Blue Koopa Troopas.
* Doors actually open when Mario enters them.
**Instead, when Yoshi eats a Lava Bubble, he spits three fireballs, similar to the original Red Koopa Shell fireballs. Yoshi can eat fire from a [[Burner]] or [[Fire Bar]] and release a single fireball.
* The Boo Circle had a mixture of three different Boos in the original, while in this game they are all the same.
**Yoshi will no longer swallow items that are in his mouth after a set period of time.
* Jumping Piranha Plants are taller. This is to keep consistent with the other styles.
**Yoshi can eat hammers and spit them out. This is consistent with ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
* The [[Midway Gate]] is replaced by the [[Checkpoint Flag]]. This is consistent with the other styles.
**Yoshi can eat [[coin]]s. This is consistent with ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
** This is because the Midway Gate is one block wider than the Checkpoint Flag.
*In the original game, the players got a 1-up for finding a Yoshi Egg when they already had a Yoshi, but in this game, another Yoshi hatches. If two Yoshis are present, the egg hatches into a [[Super Mushroom]] if the player is [[Small Mario]], a [[Fire Flower]] if [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]], a [[Cape Feather]] if [[Fire Mario]] and a [[1-Up Mushroom]] if [[Cape Mario]].
** However, after touching this flag, the sound of the Midway Gate is used.
**However, 1-Up Mushrooms can still appear from giant Yoshi Eggs regardless of form.
*Like ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and the latter's corresponding style, Yoshi has collision detection, which means Mario will "push" him if he runs into him.
*Yoshi's sprite has green arms, instead of the orange arms in the original. The green is also of a brighter tone, thus making him resemble his ''Super Mario Advance 2'' sprite.
*[[P Switch]]es turn [[Empty Block]]s into [[coin]]s and vice-versa in the original game, but here they turn [[Rotating Block]]s into coins. This is consistent with ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', in which [[P Switch]]es turn [[Brick Block]]s into [[coin]]s ([[Rotating Block]]s are the ''Super Mario World'' equivalent to [[Brick Block]]s).
**Also, the P Switch time limit is shorter, consistent with other game styles.
*When Mario goes through doors while carrying a P Switch or Koopa Shell, it does not disappear.
*[[Grinder]]s, Lava Bubbles and Boos cannot be spin jumped on without taking damage.
**When spin jumping on enemies that get destroyed, Mario will do a maximum height jump off of it, instead of just destroying it.
*Fish Bones home in on the player, as in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series.
*Jumping Piranha Plants are taller. This is to keep consistent with the other styles.
*[[Bob-omb]]s, [[Muncher]]s and Grinders have more detailed sprites.
*In the original game, when Mario loses a life, he goes into his death pose, but it isn't animated until he starts flying upwards. In ''Super Mario Maker'', his death pose is now animated from the moment he dies onward.
*When the timer reaches the last 100 seconds in the original game, the music speeds up uninterrupted while the warning simultaneously plays. In this game, however, the music stops as the warning plays, then restarts with the faster tempo. This is consistent with the other styles.
*The Super Star invincible form now has the same sound effect as the P Switch for indicating that the effect is about to run out, similar to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
*Warp Doors actually open when Mario enters them as opposed to the screen pixelating.
*The Boo Buddies had a mixture of three different Boos in the original, while in this game they are all the same.
*The [[Power Balloon]] power-up is not included.
*Lakitu's cloud remains and can be hijacked after killing him in any way - in the original game, jumping on Lakitu caused the cloud to disperse.
*Mushroom Platforms have slim stalks like in [[Butter Bridge 1]] but are lighter toned and have red and yellow cap variations, consistent with the other game styles. Originally, green was the only color for the caps of the Mushroom Platforms.
*Berry bushes do not carry Berries, which are absent from the game, and are part of the background in the Ground theme and are not available for course elements.
*[[Urchin]]s are absent, but this game style's Underwater theme's Spike Traps take the form similar to those enemies.
*P Warp Doors are a recolored version of regular Warp Doors (instead of having their own pattern) and have a P emblem on them while active, and have framed lines while inactive, consistent with the other game styles. Originally, there were no framed lines where the P Switch doors should be.
*When Mario rescues Peach in this game's style after beating the 100 Mario Challenge on Normal or Expert, she does not kiss him at all.
*Skewers, which were first introduced in this game have a completely new design and go vertically and/or horizontally, corresponding with other game styles. Mario can now pass through them, but will still sustain damage while doing so.
*Keys no longer require being lifted to use; instead, they automatically follow Mario after obtaining them. Additionally, they now have a vertical sprite instead of horizontal.
*Toad appears in this game's style for the first time, based off of his appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', but only in the cutscene after clearing the 10 Mario Challenge or the 100 Mario Challenge on the Easy difficulty.<ref name="toad">{{cite|language=en|author=NWEpic|date=November 18, 2015|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nSs6bBCjvw&t=1091s|timestamp=18:11|title=''Super Mario Maker'': 10 Mario Challenge FINAL|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=Febuary 23, 2024}}</ref>
**On a side note, the "Egg Is Rescued" song plays during this cutscene.<ref name="toad"/>
*Dry Bones and doors have slightly different sprites.
*Koopa Troopas lack a sprite when turning from a side to another.


===''New Super Mario Bros. U''===
===''New Super Mario Bros. U''===
* The Goal Pole base was wider than one block in the original game, as well as in reveal build at E3 2014, but it is only one block wide here. Additionally, after jumping off the pole, Mario enters the castle without doing his victory animation, but he'll still say '''"Oh yeah, Mario Time!"''' before entering. These were possibly changed to be consistent with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style.
*The HUD is solid white (except for the score, which is solid black) as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and the early version of ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' instead of the metal opaque color from the final version of the base game.
* Carriable objects cannot be carried above Mario's head, only at his side, unlike in the original game. This was possibly changed to be consistent with ''Super Mario World''.
*The Goal Pole base was wider than one block in the original game, as well as in reveal build at E3 2014, but it is only one block wide here. Additionally, after jumping off the pole, Mario enters the castle without doing his victory animation, but he will still say "Oh yeah, Mario time!" before entering.
* Mario can now [[Spin Jump]] on Piranha Plants and other spiked enemies. This was possibly changed to be consistent with ''Super Mario World''.
*The Goal Pole will not play the original ''Super Mario Bros.'' course clear music when the last two digits on the timer are the same.
* The face on Lakitu's Cloud doesn't turn when flying, and instead faces the screen. This was possibly changed to be consistent with ''Super Mario World''.
*Yoshi enters the fortress with Mario after touching the Goal Pole while riding him, rather than Mario leaving him behind and Yoshi waving goodbye.
* When attacking Dry Bones, their heads do not fly off their bodies, and instead stay on their bodies. This was possibly changed to be consistent with the other styles.
*Carriable objects cannot be carried above Mario's head, only at his side like in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.
* Bowser can destroy breakable blocks with his body and his fire.
*Stars do not appear when Monty Moles bump into other ones.
* Yoshi can eat Hammer Bros.
*[[Propeller Mushroom]]s lack a unique sound effect when released from a block, with the standard "item released" sound playing instead.
* The HUD is solid white as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' instead of the metal opaque color from the base game.
*[[Ground Pound]]ing object-containing blocks attached to a solid floor has a different behavior. Originally, the power-up would fly out of the block and land on the ground, but in this game, blocks behave as if they are in the air even if they are attached to the floor, thus non-coin objects are treated as crushed (as if they were stuck between two solid objects) and disappear once they are released from the block.
* Fishbones do not collapse if they collide into each other.
*P Switches are dark blue rather than cyan.
* Bullet Bills do not collide with each other. This was possibly changed to be consistent with the other styles.
*[[Coin Block]]s do not produce five more coins even if they are hit fast enough.
* The goal pole will not play the original ''Super Mario Bros.'' course clear music when the last two digits on the timer are the same. This was possibly changed to be consistent with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style.
*Bowser can destroy breakable blocks with his body and his fire.
* Mario does not look directly at any enemies or items whenever he's near them.
*When eating a fire-based enemy (Fire Piranha Plants and Lava Bubbles), Yoshi will spit out three fireballs instead of one.
* There is no cheering or applause during chains of 1-Ups.
*Yoshi can eat Hammer Bros.
* The sprites used here are actually in 2D, rather than the 3D models used in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. Because of this:  
*Yoshi can swim underwater.
** Some animations have fewer frames compared to the animation's equivalents in said game.  
*Mario can now [[Spin Jump]] on Piranha Plants and other spiked enemies.
** Flowers and grass are stationary; they do not move when Mario touches them and spin jumping near a flower does not produce a coin.
*The sounds emitted from [[Note Block]]s are affected by the course themes rather than the background music.
** Objects do not dance to the music. This was possibly changed to be consistent with the other game styles.
*Piranha Plants and Fire Piranha Plants act like if they are inside a pipe even when they are placed on the ground or ceiling, whereas in the original ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, Piranha Plants and Fire Piranha Plants on the ground and ceiling have slightly different behaviors from the ones in a pipe.
* Yoshi enters the fortress with Mario after touching the goal pole while riding him, rather than Mario leaving him behind and Yoshi waving goodbye.
*[[Mega Dry Bones|Big Dry Bones]] can be knocked out simply by Spin Jumping on top of it, instead of having to Ground Pound them (Ground Pounding still has the same effect).
**When attacking Dry Bones, their heads do not fly off their bodies.
*[[Mega Wiggler|Big Wiggler]]s can be made angry, making them more consistent with normal Wigglers.
*Cannons cannot fire Bob-ombs; however, Bob-ombs can be put on Bill Blasters to simulate this.
*[[Fish Bone]]s do not collapse if they collide into each other.
*Bullet Bills do not collide with each other.
*[[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s and [[Bull's-Eye Blaster]]s are now colored entirely red, much like in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' to distinguish from normal Bullet Bills and Bill Blasters, while in the original game, they are black with blinking red eyes and black like normal Bill Blasters, respectively.
*Fires emitted from [[Fire Bar]]s are smaller than in the original game. This is to keep consistent with ''Super Mario Bros.''
*Likewise, [[Chain Chomp]]s are slightly smaller, and can interact with terrains when released, to be consistent with ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Additionally, the stump do not produce coins upon defeating it.
*Pipes cannot be entered from the edge of them.
*Enemies and coins bounce upon interacting with a Note Block, instead of acting just like other solid terrain.
*Bowser's default size is smaller than in the original game to be consistent with ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
*Spin jumping near a flower does not produce a coin.
*The sprites used here are actually in 2D, rather than the 3D models used in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' (except Mario, Yoshi, Bowser and Bowser Jr.), as evident in the following:
**Some animations have fewer frames compared to their equivalents in said game.  
**Flowers and grass are stationary; they do not move when Mario touches them.
**Objects and enemies do not dance to the music.
**Mario does not look directly at any enemies or items whenever he is near them.
**The face on Lakitu's Cloud does not turn when flying, instead facing the screen at all times.
*Skewers received a new design rather than using that of the original game. It is now more round and has more spikes, similar to the ''Super Mario World'' style, however, it is colored black and the spikes are colored gold, much like the ones from the original ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games.
*There is no cheering or applause during chains of 1-Ups.
*The following power-ups present in the original game are not included: [[Super Acorn]], [[P-Acorn]], [[Ice Flower]], [[Mini Mushroom]], and [[Penguin Suit]].
*[[Grinder]]s were not present in the original game, and they use their design from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.
*The font for received points has been turned white, while the 1UP icon is smaller and green.
*The screen transition with Bowser's emblem does not appear when the player loses a life.
 
===Obsolete===
*Prior to the 1.20 update on November 4, 2015, power-ups in ? Blocks or Brick Blocks couldn't have status dependency (or couldn't be edited to change depending on Mario's status). For example, a Fire Flower placed in block wouldn't change into a Super Mushroom while Mario was in small form. From 1.20 onward - although the default remains non-status-dependent - dragging a Super Mushroom onto a Fire Flower, Super Leaf, Cape Feather, or Propeller Mushroom will make them show a small mushroom in their lower-right corner. The combined item is status-dependent and can be placed into a block as normal.
*Prior to the 1.30 update, P Switches were orange rather than blue in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles, and showed a ? rather than P in the latter case.

Released December 28, 2015, the only official note is that ''Adjustments have been made for a more pleasant gaming experience''<ref name="SMMupdates"/>
 
===Version 1.32===
This was an update solely to "Fix [an unspecified] glitch occurring in “Create” mode", which had led to the online portion of the game being taken down for maintenance for twenty hours on January 28, 2016.<ref>{{cite|author=Lite_Agent|url=www.perfectly-nintendo.com/super-mario-maker-new-update-available-ver-1-32|title=''Super Mario Maker'': new update available (Ver. 1.32)|language=en|publisher=Perfectly Nintendo|date=January 28, 2016|accessdate=July 1, 2024}}</ref>
 
===Version 1.40===
An update has been released on March 9, 2016, which adds several new features to the game.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20160304085538/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arl3ACzJCBI|title=Nintendo Direct 3.3.16|timestamp=08:27|publisher=YouTube|author=Nintendo|date=March 3, 2016|accessdate=July 1, 2024}}</ref> These include a Super Expert difficulty level for 100 Mario Challenge, along with new Mystery Mushroom costumes. The new Mystery Mushroom costumes can be unlocked by completing the Normal, Expert, and Super Expert difficulty levels, with some of the costumes being exclusive to the Super Expert difficulty level.
 
Four new course creating elements have also been added:
*Shaking a [[Thwomp]] will transform it into a [[Skewer]]. They will extend to crush Mario at regular intervals and can be positioned horizontally.
*Shaking a P Warp Door will transform it into a Locked Door. The doors are only usable when unlocked by a [[Key]].
*Shaking a P Switch will transform it into a Key. They can be carried to Locked Doors to unlock them, and if one is dragged onto an enemy, it will be dropped when that enemy is defeated.
*Shaking a [[coin]] will transform it into a [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Maker)|Pink Coin]]. They act similarly to [[Red Coin]]s, and if all within a course are collected, a Key will appear.
Three new restrictions on giving out stars were implemented:
*If a player tries to star a course using another Nintendo Network ID on the same [[Wii U]] console as the user who uploaded the course, the game now gives a message telling the player they cannot do that.
*Players cannot star courses unless they have beat or failed at said course at least once; if the player opens up the interface with the star touch button on it without doing so, the icon will be faded out and un-clickable.
*Players cannot star more than 100 courses within 24 hours of real life time.

{{main|List of Super Mario Maker glitches}}
'''NOTE:''' This glitch only works on update versions before 1.20.
===Black hole===
'''NOTE:''' This glitch has been partially patched.
 
This glitch involves a Big Thwomp, Muncher, and another item with which the player wishes to surpass the enemy limit. The player then places the Giant Thwomp with a Muncher on the left side under it. On the other side on the bottom of the giant Thwomp, the player has to place the enemy to be duplicated, start the game and then go out again. Then, the player should duplicate the enemy to be duplicated before going into the play mode again. By doing this over and over, the player can create an infinite number of enemies.
 
An alternative way to do this glitch was discovered afterwards, which is not patched yet and even works on the [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo 3DS version]]. First, the player must have a Bill Blaster four blocks below the second level line, while still have it above it. Then, the player must place a Big Thwomp on it. Then the player must put the enemy they want to clone right by it. It helps to have a Bob-omb on top of the enemy the player wants to clone, but another video on Ceave Gaming's channel shows it with stacks of Big Goombas. After preparations are made, the player must be viewing the bottom screen and place a coin. Then they must erase the Bill Blaster, get out of Erase mode, and hit undo twice. Player repeats the process after preparations until desired number is reached, but 36 coins can only be on the screen at once. It should be noted that duplicated enemies on the Nintendo 3DS version shows up in Edit mode, but not in Play mode, where only the max number of enemies can be seen until some are defeated and moves the camera, or the player goes through a door and encounters different enemies.
 
If the player goes above the normal enemy limit in an extreme level, the editor may crash and their progress will not be saved. Therefore, the player should save the glitched level at multiple occasions. Also, this glitch can cause the game to lag if used to bypass the normal 100 enemy limit.{{ref needed}}


For this glitch, the player must have a power-up that will turn them into [[Super Mario]] when hit. If the player takes any form of damage and enters a door when the invincibility frames are about to end, Mario will retain the invincibility for the duration of the course; he cannot take damage from enemies or obstacles, except for bottomless pits or lava which automatically cause the player to lose a life. While in this state the player also cannot collect any power-ups except for [[Super Star]]s.<ref>GameXplain (September 20, 2015).

==''Super Mario Maker Bookmark''==
[[File:Super Mario Maker Bookmark home page.png|thumb|Home page, as of April 17, 2019]]
'''[https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net ''Super Mario Maker Bookmark'']''' was an official website which allowed users to search and bookmark ''Super Mario Maker'' courses from PC and smart devices to play them later. It launched on December 22, 2015,<ref name="SuperMarioMakerBookmark">{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=December 17, 2015|url=youtu.be/mWhJVA_jmrc|title=''Super Mario Maker'' Bookmark Update!|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=April 17, 2019}}</ref> coinciding with the game's version 1.30 update, and shut down on March 30th, 2021 at 5 PM (PST).<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20210115185853/https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net|title=SUPER MARIO MAKER BOOKMARK|publisher=Nintendo|language=en|accessdate=January 19, 2021}}</ref> Users were able to bookmark a course from the website by signing in with their Nintendo Network ID. While logged in, they could also visit their profile to view their own uploaded courses.


This likely happens due to how post-damage invincibility functions in the game. By entering the door at the end of the invincibility frames, the player circumvents the invincibility timer. Therefore, even though he is not blinking, when he exits the door, he is still invincible.
The website featured three tabs where the player could search for courses. The Recommended Courses tab featured highly popular courses that could be sorted by All, Easy, Normal, Expert and Super Expert. The tab also contained an area called Special Collections, which users could access to view courses featured at special events such as ''{{wp|GameCenter CX}}'' and Tokaigi, or courses selected by the game's development team based on a theme such as Costume Mario and ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.


=== {{conjecturaltext|Invisible platform}} ===
The Course Search tab allowed users to filter courses by game style, course theme, region, difficulty, tag, and upload date. There was also an option to sort courses by star rate, total stars, lowest clear rate, times shared, and most recent.
This glitch requires a cloud platform, a track piece, and an invisible ? block. Put the invisible ? block on the track, then change the tab to a different object.
Next, put the track over the cloud platform, then switch to the track tab. Finally, touch the track, and pull it towards the platform. If the player sees the cloud platform in front of the invisible ? block, then the glitch didn't work, but if the player just sees the invisible ? block, then the glitch did work.


=== {{conjecturaltext|brick/solid block glitch}} ===
Lastly, the Maker Rankings tab featured a top 100 of course makers ranked by a certain category: total stars, number of world records, number of first clears, or number of 100 Mario Challenge clears. Users could also view similarly-organized course rankings,<ref name="SuperMarioMakerBookmark"/> although this feature was removed prior to the website shutting down.
This glitch is similar to the invisible platform glitch and requires a brick block, a track piece, and a solid block. Put the brick block onto the track. Make sure that the tab is not on the track. Move the track so the brick block is overlapping the solid block. Select the track tab, grab an end of the track and side it toward the brick block. If the brick block disappears into the solid block, then the glitch worked. Now when Super Mario hit the solid block from below, the block will break. Or when Mario hits a p-switch and touches the block, the block will disappear and a coin will be added to your total.
 
The following are the course sets from the Special Collections.

|''This is a selection of courses chosen by the development team, based on the theme of "Super Mario Bros. 3."<br>The Super Mario Maker development team ranges from people who worked on creating the original Super Mario Bros. 3 to people who weren't even born when it released!<br>But everyone has their own ideas about what made that game special. Though the Super Mario Bros. 3 game style seems to have been less popular than we might have hoped, we've picked out the very best courses that breathed new life into this classic title.

Love 'em or hate 'em, spiky elements are an important part of the Mario series. So for this selection, we've picked out courses whose creators showed a lot of love for our spiky friends.<br>Courses with lots of spikes have a tendency to end up hard as nails, but this time we've focused on courses that are lots of fun to play despite all that!

Super Mario Maker (tentatively called Mario Maker when announced at E3 2014) is a 2D platforming and level creation game for the Wii U. It is the eighteenth entry in the Super Mario series.[1][2] It allowed players to design and share their own 2D Super Mario courses, alongside viewing and playing courses made by other creators until the discontinuation of Nintendo Network on April 8, 2024. To build a course, players can use a variety of objects such as blocks, enemies and items. They can also set a theme and incorporate their course into the styles of four previous Super Mario games (Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U), each with distinct mechanics and features. While the game typically uses the GamePad, whose touchscreen is used to design courses, other controllers such as the Wii Remote, Wii Classic Controller, and Wii U Pro Controller are also compatible.[3] Additionally, the game has compatibility with amiibo, which can be scanned to unlock different Mystery Mushroom costumes based on the amiibo figurine.

The game was announced at E3 2014 and was released in September 2015 (originally set to be released in early 2015), as part of the 30th Anniversary of Super Mario Bros.[4] Limited editions of the game launched alongside an artbook with codes that can be entered in the in-game manual. The Nintendo eShop version of the game requires at least 1.4 GB[3] of storage memory to be downloaded.

Starting on November 7th, 2017, Nintendo has terminated the Miiverse service, removing support for comments on uploaded levels. Super Mario Maker was removed from the eShop on January 13th, 2021,[5] leaving the game only available in retail. On March 31st, 2021, the ability to upload new courses and view the most starred courses online was discontinued,[6] but players could still play courses that were uploaded before the discontinuation until April 8, 2024, when the Nintendo Network service shut down, rendering the game no longer playable online.[7][8]

A port of this game was released for the Nintendo 3DS in December 2016. A sequel, titled Super Mario Maker 2, was released for the Nintendo Switch on June 28, 2019.

Pre-title screen animations

Each day the startup screen has a different animation associated with getting Builder Mario off the screen. All of the objects listed here are in the Super Mario Bros. game style.

  • Sunday - Luigi enters, shoots a fireball at Builder Mario causing him to fall off, and then runs across the screen. Several characters (including Peach) and a "Happy Sunday" ("Today is Sunday" in the British English version) banner are also shown on top of the logo, alongside a speech bubble containing text saying, "Let's get making!"
  • Monday - A Koopa Shell goes across the screen, hitting Builder Mario and causing him to fall off the screen.
  • Tuesday - A Magikoopa appears and turns Builder Mario into a Goomba, which walks off the screen.
  • Wednesday - A Super Mario Bros. style platform with wings carries Builder Mario off the screen.
  • Thursday - Three Goombas enter in, pick up Builder Mario, and carry him off the screen while tribal music plays.
  • Friday - A fly picks up Builder Mario, but a fly swatter swats it causing Builder Mario to fall off the screen. (NOTE: At the beginning, in English versions, the day of the week is called "Flyday", but after the fly has been swatted the word falls with Builder Mario and is called Friday.)
  • Saturday - A Thwomp falls on Builder Mario causing him to fall off the screen and then raises back up.

Title screen

The title screen for Super Mario Maker.
The title screen of Super Mario Maker.
The effect of the letter K on Super Mario Maker's title screen.
The screen goes into a sepia tone after the player clicks on the letter K.

In a similar fashion to Mario Paint, the title screen is highly interactive. A randomly generated stage will appear, and players have the option to choose "Create" and edit the stage, or "Play", to choose either Course World or 10 Mario Challenge. Players can even complete the stage before starting. When pressed, each letter will cause a different effect on the game title screen.

  • SUPER: Five Super Stars will appear and a random voice or voices will shout "Super Mario Maker".
  • M - The letter M flips upside down and spells Super Wario Maker, and a Mystery Mushroom with a Wario costume appears (in the Super Mario Bros. game style only). In addition, Wario will taunt the player.
  • A - The letter A will summon a cluster of multi-colored stars to fall behind in the background. All enemies and shells present on the screen will be defeated. A train whistle can also be heard.
  • R - The legs of the letter R will extend and will shoot a shower of coins, similar to a Bill Blaster shooting coins. A cash register sound and a "Ta-da!!" music jingle will also play.
  • I - The parakeet from Nintendo DSi Sound, which appears in the recording option, will appear and sit on top of the letter I, making it look like a lowercase I. Like in the application it debuted in, it will also record any sounds, and repeat them with a different effect. The parakeet will leave after a while.
  • O - The letter O will summon a Koopa Clown Car (Junior Clown Car in the New Super Mario Bros. U style). A cymbal clang can be heard.
  • M - The second M will summon an empty Buzzy Shell or Spiny Shell, and either can be worn as a helmet. An explosion sound can be heard.
  • A - Touching the second A will cause it to act like a Reset Rocket, with an intercom counting down before it shoots off; it will return soon after. It also clears all items and enemies on screen.
  • K - The letter K will turn the screen into a sepia tone. The music for the title will also turn into an 8-bit variation. Pressing the K again will revert the screen back to normal.
  • E - Touching the letter E will summon a Trampoline for Mario to use. An oriental drum can be heard.
  • R - The second R will extend like the first R, turn around and summon either an empty Goomba's Shoe or a Yoshi's Egg (depending on the game style). If there are two Yoshis, any more Eggs summoned will hold a Super Mushroom. When using Yoshi, an extra drumbeat will be added to the title screen music.
  • Clicking randomly on the screen will summon a Goomba, Koopa or, rarely, a Bowser.
  • Dragging the stylus on the screen will produce a stream of magic dust, similar to how Kamek powers up an enemy in the Yoshi's Island and New Super Mario Bros. games.

Gameplay

The game is set up so that players can design their very own 2D Super Mario courses. They are able to set up and edit the length and width of the stages, the course's theme, and game styles, and are able to use various objects, items, and enemies. Players are able to switch between editing and playing their created stages, and can easily make any changes using the tools provided. An outline mode can also be used to show Mario's movements and to make positioning objects easier.

The game starts with only one row of course elements, as the game features an unlocking system, in which a set of elements will be available for the next day, so long as they spend at least five minutes using the tools they have. As part of a Day 1 patch, however, the elements can be made available immediately by spending enough time placing elements on the course. Players can also add sound effects to their courses using the Soundfrog (which uses the frog icon from Mario Paint). These effects happen when Mario walks over them in the play mode, with some effects generating visuals. Players can even record their own sound effects and add them to the game. However, these custom sound effects are replaced with a generic parrot/chicken squawk when uploaded to Course World.[9]

Players can save up to 120 different courses onto their Wii U profile.[3] They can be found in Coursebot, the course selection screen. Locally saved and downloaded courses can be arranged into worlds, which are set up like in Super Mario Bros., with four courses per world. There is no way to upload courses in worlds; players can only upload single courses.

Sample courses

Below is the full list of all the 68 sample courses that are in the game. The sample courses that are in worlds 1 and 2 are unlocked as the player unlocks new course sets. The sample courses that are in worlds 3 through 16 are used in the 10 Mario Challenge. The world 17 courses, which are the courses that were shown off at the 2015 Nintendo World Championships, are unlocked after the player has completed all the 10 Mario Challenge sample courses. Completing all four of those levels, in turn, allows the player to freely use the Weird Mushroom when creating levels.

Six of the course themes used in Super Mario Maker.
The six course styles used in the game.

The game gives players the option to choose the game and course styles from various 2D Super Mario games. There are four game styles and six course styles to choose from. Each game style retains its respective gameplay elements and physics from its base game. For example, Mario cannot carry items in the Super Mario Bros. style, can triple and wall-jump in the New Super Mario Bros. U style, and is able to throw Koopa Shells upward in the Super Mario World style only. Each game style has its own exclusive elements, such as Yoshi being available in the Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U styles, but is replaced in Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 styles by the Goomba's Shoe, as well as its exclusive power-ups and end-goals. Changing a course theme changes the assets, objects and the music of the edit mode to appropriately share the theme. These game and course themes include:

Game modes

In addition to the Course Maker, Super Mario Maker features two game modes: 10 Mario Challenge, and Course World.

10 Mario Challenge

In 10 Mario Challenge (Japanese: 10人マリオチャレンジ, 10 Nin Mario Charenji), the goal is to clear eight randomly-selected sample courses with up to ten lives. Players can obtain up to three 1-Ups in each course, but must be able to complete the course to collect them. As many as 56 different sample courses appear in this mode, and they'll be added onto the Coursebot's sample courses list when completed.

When the player plays 10 Mario Challenge for the first time, the eight courses that appear are predetermined, and will never change until the player has completed 10 Mario Challenge once.

Course no. Course name Game style Course theme(s)
1 Pipeline to the Other Side Super Mario Bros. style Main area: Ground themeSub area: Underground theme
2 Block Town New Super Mario Bros. U style Main area: Ground theme
3 1-1 Remix (Ground) Super Mario Bros. style Main area: Ground themeSub area: Underground theme
4 Spinning Boo Buddies! New Super Mario Bros. U style Main area: Ghost House theme
5 A P Switch's Journey Super Mario Bros. 3 style Main area: Underground theme
6 Switch It Up! Super Mario World style Main area: Castle theme
7 1-1 Remix (Raccoon Mario) Super Mario Bros. 3 style Main area: Ground themeSub area: Underground theme
8 1-4 Remix (Castle) Super Mario Bros. style Main area: Castle theme

After the player has completed 10 Mario Challenge for the first time, any courses that appear in the 10 Mario Challenge will be chosen at random, instead of being predetermined.

Course World

Course World is Super Mario Maker's dedicated way to share course creations with the rest of the user base. The sharing system is similar to what was done with Pushmo World and the later games in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. Uploading courses is limited to 10 at first, but players will be able to earn the ability to upload more when they are given more stars by players.

In order to share a course online, players must be able to complete it, and have access to Miiverse. Players can download, play, and even alter courses made by other players, but they are unable to re-upload those altered courses to the online servers, as to avoid issues of stealing. Once a course is uploaded, players can comment on it, and/or choose to give it a star if they liked it.

Players can also bookmark courses on the official Super Mario Maker Bookmark website, then access the bookmarked courses in the courses section of Course World.

It should be noted, however, that uploaded courses that haven't received at least one star within a set amount of days can end up being removed from the Super Mario Maker servers without any warning. The Miiverse posts for the courses will only be removed if the player deletes the courses; if deleted by Nintendo, the Miiverse posts will still be present, but the course IDs will not work. Lastly, any courses that are deleted by Nintendo are blocked from being uploaded again, regardless of whether they get updated.

As part of the 1.20 version update, an "Event Courses" section has been added to the Course World. Event Courses allow players to play courses created by Nintendo, and potentially obtain Mystery Mushroom costumes as well.

Medals

Whenever players receive stars, they earn medals, based on how many stars are earned. Below are all the medals that the player can obtain, along with the star requirements needed to get them. Even if a course is deleted, the stars remain.

  • Goomba: Receive 1 star.
  • Koopa Troopa: Receive 50 stars. Allows the player to upload up to 20 courses.
  • Piranha Plant: Receive 150 stars. Allows the player to upload up to 30 courses.
  • Spiny: Receive 300 stars. Allows the player to upload up to 40 courses.
  • Cheep Cheep: Receive 500 stars. Allows the player to upload up to 50 courses.
  • Blooper: Receive 800 stars. Allows the player to upload up to 60 courses.
  • Lakitu: Receive 1300 stars. Allows the player to upload up to 70 courses.
  • Bowser: Receive 2000 stars. Allows the player to upload up to 80 courses.
  • Toad: Receive 3000 stars. Allows the player to upload up to 90 courses.
  • Princess Peach: Receive 5000 stars. Allows the player to upload up to 100 courses.

100 Mario Challenge

Course World also features a variant of 10 Mario Challenge, known as 100 Mario Challenge (Japanese: 100人マリオチャレンジ, 100 Nin Mario Charenji), which gives the player 100 lives to clear a certain number of user-created courses; 8 courses on Easy; 16 courses on Normal and Expert; 6 courses on Super Expert. Courses marked as the selected difficulty (based on clear percentage) are used. Unlike with 10 Mario Challenge, players can save their progress while playing the 100 Mario Challenge, and they can choose to skip a selected course to try another one instead. At first, only the Easy and Normal difficulty levels can be selected, but players can unlock the Expert difficulty by completing the Normal difficulty 100 Mario Challenge at least once, and if they clear Expert once, then the players will unlock the Super Expert difficulty.

Clearing 100 Mario Challenge rewards the player with a random Mystery Mushroom costume. However, there is a limit to how many costumes can be unlocked on a single difficulty level; this in return, means that the player has to complete all the difficulty levels a certain number of times in order to unlock every random costume in the game.

Prior to the release of update version 1.40, without using any amiibo, the player could unlock up to 95 different Mystery Mushroom costumes in 100 Mario Challenge. The unlock limits were originally as follows:

  • Easy: 20 clears
  • Normal: 45 clears
  • Expert: 30 clears

As of version 1.40, additional costumes have been added onto 100 Mario Challenge, which also increases the unlock limits for each difficulty level (except Easy).

  • Normal: 48 clears
  • Expert: 34 clears
  • Super Expert: 5 clears

If the player uses any amiibo to unlock the costumes, then the unlock limit for each difficulty level decreases, depending on which amiibo figures were scanned. Also, when the players have unlocked all the Mystery Mushroom costumes at a certain difficulty level, a notice will appear to notify them.

Differences from original games

Although the recreations are mostly faithful, each style has some minor differences from its source material (disregarding console limitations, etc.). Some of these changes bring one or more styles in line with others, although this is not universal (for an example of a difference that remains, Koopa shells cannot be picked up in Super Mario Bros. style).

General

  • The HUD for all four styles is laid out like the HUD from New Super Mario Bros. U, with the coin counter on the left and the score and time counters in the top-right.
  • An in-game "second" on the timer is actually one second, as in Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Super Luigi U, rather than 0.4, 0.6 or 0.7 seconds.
  • Button inputs are based on New Super Mario Bros. U; as such, any inputs performed by B Button in the NES titles (e.g. dashing, grabbing objects) are now X Button/Y Button (although ingame settings allow players to map them to B Button/Y Button), inputs performed by A Button in Super Mario World (e.g. Spin Jump) are now any one of L Button/R Button/ZL Button/ZR Button.
  • Mario reverts to Super Mario in all styles if he is hit as Fire Mario, Raccoon Mario, Caped Mario or Propeller Mario. In the original Super Mario Bros., Super Mario World and Japanese Super Mario Bros. 3 games, he reverted directly to Small Mario (although in Super Mario World, he could have a replacement power-up stored in the Item Stock, which is absent here).
  • As in New Super Mario Bros. U, Mario cycles between his normal and Fire Mario forms when he obtains a Fire Flower and a rainbow cycle when he collects a Super Star. Previously, in Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, whenever Mario collected a Fire Flower or a Super Star, he cycled through a set series of different palettes (Mario's current palette and the three current palettes of the other sprites in Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3; the palettes of Mario, Fire Mario, Luigi and Fire Luigi in Super Mario World). This is achieved by overlaying a rainbow palette filter over top of the white-colored Mario model.
  • Bowser cannot throw hammers; Bowser Jr. (with wings) has that option instead. However, a Hammer Bro or winged Bowser Jr. can be put on Bowser's head to simulate this.
  • All castle areas end with a boss bridge and an Axe, even in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World styles (where the original games featured boss fights such that the boss had to be directly defeated to progress).
    • The axe itself is much bigger, akin to the first phase of Bowser's boss battle in New Super Mario Bros. U (albeit without the giant switch that activates it, as it is activated by touching the axe itself as in Super Mario Bros.), whereas in Super Mario Bros. it was the same size as power-ups and blocks.
    • Similarly, all airship areas end with a normal goal rather than a boss fight.
  • It is possible to jump over the Goal Pole, Axe or Giant Gate; whereas the original games treated these as touching the goal. The player must now directly touch the goal to complete the course.
    • Anything that happens after touching the Goal Pole, the goal in Super Mario Bros. 3-styled levels, the Giant Gate, or the axe is purely cosmetic - Mario does not need to enter the fortress or progress off-screen.
    • Gates and Goal Poles are found inside ghost houses rather than outside.
  • In the Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U styles, Yoshi can be used in the Ghost House, Airship and Castle themes, despite never appearing in or even being allowed in those courses. New Yoshi drum beats were added to match the music.
    • Similarly, new Yoshi drum beats were added to the New Super Mario Bros. U Underwater music, since Yoshi did not appear in underwater courses in either New Super Mario Bros. U or New Super Mario Bros. Wii (where most of the music of New Super Mario Bros. U originated).
  • Thwomps can be stood on, but Mario will take damage unless he is in a Goomba's Shoe, spinning, or riding a Yoshi.
  • Mario can "soft-toss" carriable items (such as trampolines, shells and POW Blocks) by releasing Y Button while tilting down on Left Stick, allowing Mario to drop them without throwing or activating it.
  • The Ghost House and Airship themes are available in all four styles. (Airships did not appear in Super Mario Bros. or Super Mario World while Ghost Houses did not appear before Super Mario World. As such, new music has been composed for these themes, arranged to fit the styles of the original games.[12]) Interestingly, the Airship's Ground and Semisolid Platforms in the Super Mario Bros. style are in a metallic color scheme and design as opposed to wooden and ropey, and the Ghost House's Ground and Semisolid Platforms are in turquoise and gray for the Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 styles respectively to be consistent with the original games' palette color limitations.
  • Defeating multiple enemies with shells or a Super Star in all styles cause the points to increase when the player defeats each enemy, and when the player defeats the eighth enemy, they earn an extra life in a similar manner to the infinite 1-Up trick, as in New Super Mario Bros. U.
  • Lakitu's Cloud in the Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 styles is wider and can be ridden on, consistent with the Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U styles.
  • Hammer Bros. in the Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 styles (and by extension Sledge Bros. in the latter game style) throw hammers less frequently, as in New Super Mario Bros. U, thus they are much easier to avoid than they were in the original games.
  • P Switches can be carried, as in Super Mario World.
  • Mario can swim better underwater when holding an item in all styles that allow carrying items as in the original Super Mario World.
  • Semisolid Platforms in the second phase while using the Ground theme in the Super Mario Bros., Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. U styles are darker versions of the solid Ground elements.
  • Spike Traps do not appear as beds of spikes as in the mainstream games; instead, they are block-shaped and can be placed in mid-air.
  • A new cutscene for the 100 Mario Challenge on Normal, Expert and Super Expert difficulties depicting Mario rescuing Peach is created, in the style of arches and a clear daytime sky, and Peach's quotes are "Thank you, Mario, You're my hero!" on Normal and "Oh, Mario! It can't be easy to make it here. You truly are my hero!" on Expert and Super Expert. The style of the arches are the same in the Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World styles, but toned slightly differently.
    • Also, the alternate cutscene where Mario encounters Toad after clearing the 10 Mario Challenge or the 100 Mario Challenge on Easy difficulty, Toad does not thank Mario, but instead acts more serious about the situation where Peach has been taken to another castle. Toad's quote is "Mario! It's terrible! Princess Peach has been taken to another castle!".
  • Warp Doors and Beanstalks now only send Mario to another section within same area, while pipes are the only means of transporting him from the main area to the sub-area and vice-versa.
  • Enemies do not transform into coins when Fire Mario's fireball hits any enemy, as in Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and Super Mario Bros. 3.
  • When a Monty Mole pops out, its cutout is not shown.
  • Red Cannons, One-Way Walls, Music Blocks, Fast Lava Lifts, Stiletto Goombas, Bumpers, Pink Coins, Key Doors and Fire Koopa Clown Cars were not present in any of the original games.
  • Buzzy and Spiny Shells now have their "empty" forms, and they can be worn onto Mario's head.
  • The points of Skewers in the mainstream series were pointed, as the name of the obstacle would suggest. In Super Mario Maker, the points are flattened. They will only cause the course to rumble if coming into contact with Ground, Semisolid Platforms, Mushroom Platforms, and Spike Traps.
  • Mushroom Platforms can now be used in the underwater course theme, consistent with other themes, but with stalks in the forms of scales and the caps inside out.
  • 3-Up Moons which were once present in Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U do not exist. Instead, the players reserve up to three extra lives if they clear the course by collecting 1-Up Mushrooms within the course on the 10 Mario Challenge and 100 Mario Challenge.
  • Big Boos who were present in the latter two games do not appear. Instead, Boo Buddies can be enlarged with a Super Mushroom and retain their physical appearances, consistent with other game styles.
  • Lava in the Castle theme in all four styles are across the entire course and at the very bottom and in front of all course elements that can be placed there, instead of being between solid platforms and various heights.
  • Boo Buddies have never had the ability to shrink and grow in the main Super Mario franchise. However, this effect can be accomplished by adding wings to the Boo Buddies.
  • Munchers, originally invincible to direct attacks, can now be defeated with a giant Goomba's Shoe, Spiny Shells, or POW Blocks.
  • Coin Heaven does not exist in any of the four styles.
  • Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World styles use the same font for received points as Super Mario Bros. They also share the new green 1UP icon for receiving extra lives.
    • Furthermore, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World styles now have a drop shadow effect on all in-game sprites and elements.

Super Mario Bros.

  • The screen can scroll backwards, allowing the player to backtrack, and auto-scrolling is present as an option.
  • The player gets extra height from jumping on an enemy, just like all games since Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.
  • Hitting blocks and bricks with shells will cause them to break or otherwise react as if Mario were to hit them, consistent with the other styles.
  • Mario can jump through moving platforms and mushroom platforms, as in later games.
  • Mario can hit ? Blocks and bricks underwater, consistent with other styles.
  • Enemies typically found on land, such as Goombas, can be stomped underwater.
  • Visually, beanstalks now have Piranha Plant heads on their tops, making them consistent with other styles.
  • Lava in the Castle theme is animated and trampolines make sounds when Mario jumps on them, much like in the other styles and Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.
    • Lava now has a hitbox, meaning Mario now loses a life instantly when he touches lava, rather than passing through it and falling off-screen. This is to keep consistent with other game styles.
  • The Underwater theme is completely underwater, consistent with other game styles.
  • All shells now have spinning sprites, like in the Super Mario Advance series.
  • Enemies and ? Blocks do not have different color schemes in underground or castle levels, except for Munchers, Chain Chomps, Bob-ombs, Buzzy Beetles and Bullet Bills, which would otherwise blend in with the black background.
  • Weird Mushroom, Mystery Mushroom, Goomba's Shoes, and the Big Mushroom did not exist in the original game.
  • No timer event exists to trigger fireworks after completing a stage, although a firework SFX exists and can be triggered by Mario walking from the Goal Pole if the level designer includes them.
  • The Underground, Underwater and Castle backgrounds have been given extra details (statues, railings, skeletal remains, seaweed, etc.), when originally only the Overworld had such.
    • This also extends to the Ghost House and Airship backgrounds (lanterns, grandfather clocks, bolts, small flags, etc.), which did not feature extra background details when shown off at E3 2015.
  • P Switches and Warp Doors are now present. The Warp Doors in this game's style are similar in appearance to the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 3's doors, but in green.
  • Boss music can now be played, but is taken from Super Mario Bros. 3's Enemy Battle theme. (Super Mario Bros. had no boss theme.)
    • For similar reasons, the P Switch's music is taken from Super Mario Bros. 3.
  • Palette color restrictions do not necessarily apply to newly-created sprites, including most Costume Mario characters, which feature their color scheme from later games.
  • Shells can collect coins, unlike in the original game in which they would pass through them.
  • The first Semisolid Platform type in the Ground theme has a wider base compared to its original design.

Super Mario Bros. 3

  • As part of the use of the New Super Mario Bros. U HUD layout, the P-Meter is placed under the coin counter in the top left of the screen, rather than below the playing area.
  • Raccoon Mario can defeat Dry Bones, similar to Cape Mario's mechanics in the Super Mario World style.
  • Instead of reusing their Super Mario Bros. sprite with a different palette, Buzzy Beetles have a new sprite with a black outline to better fit with other sprites in the style.
  • Fire Flowers are colored red, rather than white or blue.
  • When Mario touches the goal, he does not get a card, as they do not exist in Super Mario Maker. Instead, he receives points for whatever that was displayed in the roulette at the time he touches it. A Super Mushroom is worth 100 points, a Fire Flower is worth 800 points, while a Super Star is worth 4,000 points. A 1-Up Mushroom is added to the roulette to give Mario a chance at getting an extra life instead of points.
  • As of their introduction, Checkpoint Flags can be used in this style, when in the original, checkpoints were not available, due to the shorter level length.
  • Bowser hops backward and forward between ground pounds, rather than merely hopping in place.
  • Mario can exit a Goomba's Shoe by pressing the R or ZR Buttons, as with the Yoshi mechanics in the other styles, rather than being stuck in the shoe until damage is taken.
  • Mario cannot go into the background when ducking on a white Semisolid Platform. Instead, Mario will do a short hop in-place and a noise will play.[13]
  • The following power-ups present in the original game are not included: Frog Suit, Tanooki Suit, Statue Mario, Hammer Suit and P-Wing. Instead, the Frog Suit and Statue Mario now serve as Mystery Mushroom costumes in the Super Mario Bros. style. However, Weird Mario in any of the power-ups all present in the original game will appear if the player repeatedly taps the normal Warp Door in Edit Mode.
  • Warp Doors which were originally doorless entryways are swing-open doors based on Super Mario Bros. 2. The Key Doors prior to unlocking with the Key depict the keyholes in the center as opposed to below the door knob, consistent with other game styles.
  • The Boom Boom and Koopaling boss music is the only music played for a boss theme. The enemy battle music is instead used for the Super Mario Bros. style.
  • When Mario rescues Peach in this game's style after beating the 100 Mario Challenge on Normal or Expert, Peach stands still and does not have her crying pose.
  • In the Airship theme, most of the Ground blocks representing boards and logs have different patterns except for the wide vertical pillars.
  • Functionally, Bull's-Eye Bills and Fire Bars replace Missile Bills from the original game and Roto-Discs, consistent with other styles.
  • Aside from being two times bigger, big enemies are now identical to normal sized enemies in appearance, consistent with New Super Mario Bros. U.
    • Big Goombas split into two normal sized Goombas when jumped on, consistent with New Super Mario Bros. U.
    • Mario can no longer grab Big Koopa Troopa shells, consistent with New Super Mario Bros. U.
  • Mushroom Platforms actually take the form of real mushrooms. Originally, there were Wooden Platforms that would take the shape of the latter.
  • Dry Bones turn around at edges of platforms instead of going forward, consistent with New Super Mario Bros. U.
  • Thwomps are gray rather than blue, consistent with Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U as well as in the Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance 4 remakes.
  • Super and 1-Up Mushrooms always move rightward when released from a block, regardless of the direction Mario is facing.
  • Mario keeps facing left or right while entering a pipe, rather than looking at the screen.
  • As in Super Mario Advance 4, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U, Mario can carry objects through pipes to another area.
  • Piranha Plants and Fire Piranha Plants are always red and have shorter height, rather than some being green and taller, consistent with later titles.
    • Fire Piranha Plants' head has a redrawn sprite.
  • Chain Chomps are tied to a stump rather than a Hard Block, consistent with New Super Mario Bros. U.
  • Red Koopa Paratoopas turn around and look at Mario when he jumps over or passes under them, rather than keep facing left.
  • Mario can stomp, grab and kick upside-down Spiny shells safely, as in Super Mario Advance 4 and the New Super Mario Bros. games, whereas in the original game Mario would take damage from them even when they are flipped upside down.
  • Fire Mario can no longer throw fireballs while climbing a vine.
  • Shells function properly while being lifted by Raccoon Mario's tail whip, rather than becoming intangible.
  • Munchers no longer turn into coins by P Switches, or become Empty Blocks by Raccoon Mario's tail whip.

Super Mario World

  • There is no Item Stock.
  • Fire Piranha Plants replace Jumping Fire Piranha Plants.
  • The enemy originally known as "Goombas" in the original game is now referred to as "Galoombas" by the UI, matching their appearance from Super Mario 3D World onward.
  • Hammer Bros. (and by extension Sledge Bros.), Rocky Wrenches, Chain Chomps, cannons, Burners, and Fire Bars did not exist in the original game.
  • The players cannot clear the course just by passing through the Giant Gate; they must touch the tape. Touching the tape at the very top results in a 1-up, similar to the flagpole in New Super Mario Bros.
    • Goal Stars do not exist. Instead, Mario receives points equal to one hundred times the number of stars displayed when touching the tape. He can get either 500, 1,000, 2,500 or 4,000 points depending on where the tape is.
    • When Mario passes through the Giant Gate while the bonus game theme plays, the ending fanfare will be from this bonus game.
    • Upon clearing the Giant Gate, Mario stops and turns to face it, rather than continuing to walk away from it. And if he walks to his ending mark after touching the tape, he will retain his "peace sign" pose until the screen transitions.
      • If he does not reach the designated posistion before his "peace sign" pose, he will face left and duck after the pose, similar to the other game styles.
    • After the course clear fanfare, the whistle sound effect and the iris transition, used in the original game to take the player back to the map, is not implemented.
  • The Midway Gate is replaced by the Checkpoint Flag, as used in the other styles.
    • This is because the Midway Gate is one block wider than the Checkpoint Flag.
    • However, after touching this flag, the sound of the Midway Gate is used.
  • Bowser now features a new sprite that more closely resembles his modern design than his sprite in the original game. He can also be used outside of the Koopa Clown Car, consistent with the other styles.
  • When in a Koopa Clown Car, Bowser will throw Bob-ombs instead of Mechakoopas, as with Bowser Jr.'s second fight in New Super Mario Bros. U.
    • This is also due to the Mechakoopa's lack of presence in the game.
    • Bowser Jr. will throw Green Koopa Shells when in a Koopa Clown Car.
  • The Koopa Clown Car has been scaled down to the size of a Junior Clown Car.
  • Yoshi cannot change Red Koopa Shells into fireballs after eating them. This is consistent with New Super Mario Bros. U, as well as due to the lack of Yellow and Blue Koopa Troopas.
    • Instead, when Yoshi eats a Lava Bubble, he spits three fireballs, similar to the original Red Koopa Shell fireballs. Yoshi can eat fire from a Burner or Fire Bar and release a single fireball.
    • Yoshi will no longer swallow items that are in his mouth after a set period of time.
    • Yoshi can eat hammers and spit them out. This is consistent with New Super Mario Bros. U.
    • Yoshi can eat coins. This is consistent with New Super Mario Bros. U.
  • In the original game, the players got a 1-up for finding a Yoshi Egg when they already had a Yoshi, but in this game, another Yoshi hatches. If two Yoshis are present, the egg hatches into a Super Mushroom if the player is Small Mario, a Fire Flower if Super Mario, a Cape Feather if Fire Mario and a 1-Up Mushroom if Cape Mario.
    • However, 1-Up Mushrooms can still appear from giant Yoshi Eggs regardless of form.
  • Like Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, New Super Mario Bros. U and the latter's corresponding style, Yoshi has collision detection, which means Mario will "push" him if he runs into him.
  • Yoshi's sprite has green arms, instead of the orange arms in the original. The green is also of a brighter tone, thus making him resemble his Super Mario Advance 2 sprite.
  • P Switches turn Empty Blocks into coins and vice-versa in the original game, but here they turn Rotating Blocks into coins. This is consistent with Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Super Mario Bros. U, in which P Switches turn Brick Blocks into coins (Rotating Blocks are the Super Mario World equivalent to Brick Blocks).
    • Also, the P Switch time limit is shorter, consistent with other game styles.
  • When Mario goes through doors while carrying a P Switch or Koopa Shell, it does not disappear.
  • Grinders, Lava Bubbles and Boos cannot be spin jumped on without taking damage.
    • When spin jumping on enemies that get destroyed, Mario will do a maximum height jump off of it, instead of just destroying it.
  • Fish Bones home in on the player, as in the New Super Mario Bros. series.
  • Jumping Piranha Plants are taller. This is to keep consistent with the other styles.
  • Bob-ombs, Munchers and Grinders have more detailed sprites.
  • In the original game, when Mario loses a life, he goes into his death pose, but it isn't animated until he starts flying upwards. In Super Mario Maker, his death pose is now animated from the moment he dies onward.
  • When the timer reaches the last 100 seconds in the original game, the music speeds up uninterrupted while the warning simultaneously plays. In this game, however, the music stops as the warning plays, then restarts with the faster tempo. This is consistent with the other styles.
  • The Super Star invincible form now has the same sound effect as the P Switch for indicating that the effect is about to run out, similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
  • Warp Doors actually open when Mario enters them as opposed to the screen pixelating.
  • The Boo Buddies had a mixture of three different Boos in the original, while in this game they are all the same.
  • The Power Balloon power-up is not included.
  • Lakitu's cloud remains and can be hijacked after killing him in any way - in the original game, jumping on Lakitu caused the cloud to disperse.
  • Mushroom Platforms have slim stalks like in Butter Bridge 1 but are lighter toned and have red and yellow cap variations, consistent with the other game styles. Originally, green was the only color for the caps of the Mushroom Platforms.
  • Berry bushes do not carry Berries, which are absent from the game, and are part of the background in the Ground theme and are not available for course elements.
  • Urchins are absent, but this game style's Underwater theme's Spike Traps take the form similar to those enemies.
  • P Warp Doors are a recolored version of regular Warp Doors (instead of having their own pattern) and have a P emblem on them while active, and have framed lines while inactive, consistent with the other game styles. Originally, there were no framed lines where the P Switch doors should be.
  • When Mario rescues Peach in this game's style after beating the 100 Mario Challenge on Normal or Expert, she does not kiss him at all.
  • Skewers, which were first introduced in this game have a completely new design and go vertically and/or horizontally, corresponding with other game styles. Mario can now pass through them, but will still sustain damage while doing so.
  • Keys no longer require being lifted to use; instead, they automatically follow Mario after obtaining them. Additionally, they now have a vertical sprite instead of horizontal.
  • Toad appears in this game's style for the first time, based off of his appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3, but only in the cutscene after clearing the 10 Mario Challenge or the 100 Mario Challenge on the Easy difficulty.[14]
    • On a side note, the "Egg Is Rescued" song plays during this cutscene.[14]
  • Dry Bones and doors have slightly different sprites.
  • Koopa Troopas lack a sprite when turning from a side to another.

New Super Mario Bros. U

  • The HUD is solid white (except for the score, which is solid black) as in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and the early version of New Super Mario Bros. U instead of the metal opaque color from the final version of the base game.
  • The Goal Pole base was wider than one block in the original game, as well as in reveal build at E3 2014, but it is only one block wide here. Additionally, after jumping off the pole, Mario enters the castle without doing his victory animation, but he will still say "Oh yeah, Mario time!" before entering.
  • The Goal Pole will not play the original Super Mario Bros. course clear music when the last two digits on the timer are the same.
  • Yoshi enters the fortress with Mario after touching the Goal Pole while riding him, rather than Mario leaving him behind and Yoshi waving goodbye.
  • Carriable objects cannot be carried above Mario's head, only at his side like in New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. 2.
  • Stars do not appear when Monty Moles bump into other ones.
  • Propeller Mushrooms lack a unique sound effect when released from a block, with the standard "item released" sound playing instead.
  • Ground Pounding object-containing blocks attached to a solid floor has a different behavior. Originally, the power-up would fly out of the block and land on the ground, but in this game, blocks behave as if they are in the air even if they are attached to the floor, thus non-coin objects are treated as crushed (as if they were stuck between two solid objects) and disappear once they are released from the block.
  • P Switches are dark blue rather than cyan.
  • Coin Blocks do not produce five more coins even if they are hit fast enough.
  • Bowser can destroy breakable blocks with his body and his fire.
  • When eating a fire-based enemy (Fire Piranha Plants and Lava Bubbles), Yoshi will spit out three fireballs instead of one.
  • Yoshi can eat Hammer Bros.
  • Yoshi can swim underwater.
  • Mario can now Spin Jump on Piranha Plants and other spiked enemies.
  • The sounds emitted from Note Blocks are affected by the course themes rather than the background music.
  • Piranha Plants and Fire Piranha Plants act like if they are inside a pipe even when they are placed on the ground or ceiling, whereas in the original New Super Mario Bros. games, Piranha Plants and Fire Piranha Plants on the ground and ceiling have slightly different behaviors from the ones in a pipe.
  • Big Dry Bones can be knocked out simply by Spin Jumping on top of it, instead of having to Ground Pound them (Ground Pounding still has the same effect).
    • When attacking Dry Bones, their heads do not fly off their bodies.
  • Big Wigglers can be made angry, making them more consistent with normal Wigglers.
  • Cannons cannot fire Bob-ombs; however, Bob-ombs can be put on Bill Blasters to simulate this.
  • Fish Bones do not collapse if they collide into each other.
  • Bullet Bills do not collide with each other.
  • Bull's-Eye Bills and Bull's-Eye Blasters are now colored entirely red, much like in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker to distinguish from normal Bullet Bills and Bill Blasters, while in the original game, they are black with blinking red eyes and black like normal Bill Blasters, respectively.
  • Fires emitted from Fire Bars are smaller than in the original game. This is to keep consistent with Super Mario Bros.
  • Likewise, Chain Chomps are slightly smaller, and can interact with terrains when released, to be consistent with Super Mario Bros. 3. Additionally, the stump do not produce coins upon defeating it.
  • Pipes cannot be entered from the edge of them.
  • Enemies and coins bounce upon interacting with a Note Block, instead of acting just like other solid terrain.
  • Bowser's default size is smaller than in the original game to be consistent with Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3.
  • Spin jumping near a flower does not produce a coin.
  • The sprites used here are actually in 2D, rather than the 3D models used in New Super Mario Bros. U (except Mario, Yoshi, Bowser and Bowser Jr.), as evident in the following:
    • Some animations have fewer frames compared to their equivalents in said game.
    • Flowers and grass are stationary; they do not move when Mario touches them.
    • Objects and enemies do not dance to the music.
    • Mario does not look directly at any enemies or items whenever he is near them.
    • The face on Lakitu's Cloud does not turn when flying, instead facing the screen at all times.
  • Skewers received a new design rather than using that of the original game. It is now more round and has more spikes, similar to the Super Mario World style, however, it is colored black and the spikes are colored gold, much like the ones from the original New Super Mario Bros. games.
  • There is no cheering or applause during chains of 1-Ups.
  • The following power-ups present in the original game are not included: Super Acorn, P-Acorn, Ice Flower, Mini Mushroom, and Penguin Suit.
  • Grinders were not present in the original game, and they use their design from New Super Mario Bros. 2.
  • The font for received points has been turned white, while the 1UP icon is smaller and green.
  • The screen transition with Bowser's emblem does not appear when the player loses a life.

Obsolete

  • Prior to the 1.20 update on November 4, 2015, power-ups in ? Blocks or Brick Blocks couldn't have status dependency (or couldn't be edited to change depending on Mario's status). For example, a Fire Flower placed in block wouldn't change into a Super Mushroom while Mario was in small form. From 1.20 onward - although the default remains non-status-dependent - dragging a Super Mushroom onto a Fire Flower, Super Leaf, Cape Feather, or Propeller Mushroom will make them show a small mushroom in their lower-right corner. The combined item is status-dependent and can be placed into a block as normal.
  • Prior to the 1.30 update, P Switches were orange rather than blue in the Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. U styles, and showed a ? rather than P in the latter case.

Updates

The following is a list of updates that Super Mario Maker has received.

Version 1.01

Released September 10, 2015, Nintendo provided an official description of the update:[15]

  • Added a small Easter egg when making courses.
  • Added a secondary method for unlocking Course elements faster.
  • Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.

With this update, course sets are unlocked sooner than was planned during development. This is achieved by placing at least 500 items in the Course Maker after all new items are used from a delivery.

Version 1.10

Released September 23, 2015, an official description was provided:[15]

Note: This update requires about 223MB of storage space.
  • Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.

This update adds support for official Nintendo courses, including inserting into the game's data the message, "This course was uploaded by Nintendo, so it cannot be reported.".[16] Courses made by Mary O. and Yamamura with this designation were added on, October 14, October 20, and November 4 (the latter before the V1.20 update).[17][18][19]

Version 1.20

Released on November 4, 2015, update version 1.20 added some new features to the game:[20][21]

  • Up to two Checkpoint Flags (one for each Sub Area) can be placed onto courses by shaking an arrow sign to add a checkpoint to the course, and before uploading, the player must be able to clear the course from the checkpoint, as well as normally.
    • Flags have rotation arrows, rotating at 45° angles. They do not require anchoring and can hover in free space.
  • Players can place a Super Mushroom on top of a power-up to make it status-dependent (if the player is Small Mario, the item is a Super Mushroom, but if they are Super Mario, the item is whatever the mushroom was placed on).
  • By shaking a Muncher enough, King Watinga will spawn from it in addition to the flies, and hitting him will allow players to play a more difficult version of Gnat Attack.
    • Completing the hard version of Gnat Attack will unlock the Fighter Fly Mystery Mushroom costume.
  • In the Course World menu, an "Official" tab was added to the Makers section, which allows players to find courses created by Nintendo.
  • An Event Courses button was added to the Course World menu, allowing players to access special courses for partners outside Nintendo. These courses can unlock new Mystery Mushroom costumes based on something pertaining to the partner involved. Those that do are clearly marked by a Mystery Mushroom next to the course title. The first six Event Courses were released: Ship Love, Super Bakarhythm Land, Arino Maker, Arino Maker Returns, New! Arino Maker and Tri Force Heroes.

Some additional adjustments have also been made:

  • Players can now skip the segment between courses and the intro in the 10/100 Mario Challenge by pressing "A". Players can also skip the loading when Marios are setting up before playing a course for the first time.
  • Some glitches that were present in the previous updates have been fixed.

Cosmetic changes:

  • The "Featured" tab and the "Up & Coming" tab in Course World's Courses section were renamed "Highlights" and "New Arrivals" respectively.
  • An easter egg was added to the Course Maker where the player is able to knock on a Warp Door by tapping it. Knocking it enough times causes Weird Mario to answer it in one of five poses, each different depending on the game style. If the player doesn't knock enough times then a loud knocking sound will be heard answering.

Version 1.21

Released November 12, 2015, the only official note is that Adjustments have been made for a more pleasant gaming experience[15]

Version 1.30

Released on December 21, 2015. This update adds support for the portal site, Super Mario Maker Bookmark. In addition, the "Bookmarks" tab is added in the Course World's Courses section. The "World Record" and "First Clear" are also added for each course in Course World.

New Elements:

  • 3 new elements have been added to the game.
    • Shaking a Koopa Clown Car or Junior Clown Car will transform it into a Fire Koopa Clown Car or Fire Junior Clown Car. This will enable it to shoot fire.
    • Shaking a Warp Door will transform it into a P Warp Door. The doors will only be usable when a P switch is activated.
    • Shaking a Grinder will turn it into a Bumper. This donut-shaped object will bounce anything away that touches it.

Cosmetic changes:

  • The ? Switches in the New Super Mario Bros. U theme are now blue P Switches. This was possibly changed to be consistent with Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.
  • The Orange P Switches in the Super Mario Bros. theme are now blue. This was possibly changed to be consistent with Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.

Players can now have an option to retry a course when a course is cleared.

Version 1.31

Released December 28, 2015, the only official note is that Adjustments have been made for a more pleasant gaming experience[15]

Version 1.32

This was an update solely to "Fix [an unspecified] glitch occurring in “Create” mode", which had led to the online portion of the game being taken down for maintenance for twenty hours on January 28, 2016.[22]

Version 1.40

An update has been released on March 9, 2016, which adds several new features to the game.[23] These include a Super Expert difficulty level for 100 Mario Challenge, along with new Mystery Mushroom costumes. The new Mystery Mushroom costumes can be unlocked by completing the Normal, Expert, and Super Expert difficulty levels, with some of the costumes being exclusive to the Super Expert difficulty level.

Four new course creating elements have also been added:

  • Shaking a Thwomp will transform it into a Skewer. They will extend to crush Mario at regular intervals and can be positioned horizontally.
  • Shaking a P Warp Door will transform it into a Locked Door. The doors are only usable when unlocked by a Key.
  • Shaking a P Switch will transform it into a Key. They can be carried to Locked Doors to unlock them, and if one is dragged onto an enemy, it will be dropped when that enemy is defeated.
  • Shaking a coin will transform it into a Pink Coin. They act similarly to Red Coins, and if all within a course are collected, a Key will appear.

Three new restrictions on giving out stars were implemented:

  • If a player tries to star a course using another Nintendo Network ID on the same Wii U console as the user who uploaded the course, the game now gives a message telling the player they cannot do that.
  • Players cannot star courses unless they have beat or failed at said course at least once; if the player opens up the interface with the star touch button on it without doing so, the icon will be faded out and un-clickable.
  • Players cannot star more than 100 courses within 24 hours of real life time.

Version 1.41

Released March 17, 2016, the only official note is that Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.[15] This patch also fixed Wolf Link's entry in the Mystery Mushroom Menu from Japanese to English.

Version 1.42

Released April 6, 2016, the only official note is that A number of issues have been fixed to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.[15]

Version 1.43

Released May 19, 2016, Nintendo provided an official description of the update.[15] Unusually for a 0.01 update, it includes actual details:

  • The Star Ranking list in Course World has been changed to display courses that have received the most stars relative to the number of people who have played them. [A message to this effect also pops up when opening the Star Ranking page]
    • Previously, when searching for courses in the Star Ranking list, results could be set to either “Weekly” or “All-Time” but will now be limited to “All-Time.”
  • “Super Expert” difficulty has been added to the difficulty filters when searching for courses.
  • This update (ver1.43) must be downloaded and applied in order to use the Internet features of Super Mario Maker.

In addition, the Mystery Mushroom "Costume Collection" the player has obtained can now be viewed directly from the Main Menu, with the Notifications, Options and Manual buttons being slightly shrunk to allow it to fit.

When choosing costumes by tapping the Mystery Mushroom can now be navigated using +Control Pad and selected/canceled using A Button/B Button, alongside the GamePad touch screen.

Cosmetic changes:

  • Rather than being displayed as "★ Stars / 👣 Plays" in lists, the values are now displayed as "★ Stars [👣 Plays]"

Version 1.44

Released July 22, 2016.[15]

  • Commenting on courses during or after playing them will no longer cause them to receive a star.
  • Changed the conditions that cause the fly to appear while creating courses.

In addition, the player gets notified with a reason (i.e. unpopularity, bugs, inappropriate content), when their course(s) gets deleted from the server. Previously, the player gets notified without a reason.

Version 1.45

Released November 30, 2016, the only official note is that A number of issues have been fixed to make for a pleasant playing experience.[15]

Version 1.46

Released April 27, 2017, the only official note is that A number of issues have been fixed to make for a pleasant playing experience.[15]

Released September 5, 2017, an additional update was added to Version 1.46:

  • Addressed an issue that caused text in the e-manual to display incorrectly.

Version 1.47

Released November 7, 2017.[15]

  • Accompanying the ending of the Miiverse service, new comments can no longer be added and existing comments can no longer be viewed on uploaded courses. Courses can still be uploaded, played, and evaluated.
  • A number of issues have been fixed to make for a pleasant playing experience.

The "Comment" button has been removed from the "Course Clear" menu and the pause menu, and the "View Comments" button has been removed from the Course World menu. Various glitches have been patched. Additionally, there were many changes to the in-game physics, such as being able to immediately jump on upside down unshelled Koopas without spin jumping, thrown Bob-ombs moving differently and springs sinking in lava now giving Mario high jumps instead of acting like a regular platform.

Development

Shigeru Miyamoto had shown interest in developing a user-generated Super Mario game since at least 2009, citing the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series and Flipnote Studio as examples of Nintendo products already featuring such content to demonstrate how open he is to the idea.[24]

Pre-release and unused content

Promotion

  • A demo of the game was playable at select Best Buy locations between June 17 and June 20, 2015.[25]
  • An online activity based on this game was released on the Play Nintendo website. In it, users can design wallpapers for their PC or mobile device in a similar vein to how courses are built in the game.
  • A series of comics called Super Mario Maker: Crash Course were released on the Super Mario Maker and the Nintendo Kids Space websites. The comics follow Yamamura's efforts to teach and critique Mary O. on building her own courses in the game.

Reception

Critical reception

Super Mario Maker has received generally positive reviews from critics. Currently, the game has an average score of 88 on Metacritic,[26] an 89% average on GameRankings,[27] and an average score of 89 and recommendation score of 94% on OpenCritic.[28] IGN gave the game a 9.6, praising the game's social elements and highlighting the 10 Mario Challenge in a positive light, stating that players would "see a genuine reverence for Mario’s history" in the online modes.[29] Destructoid, Nintendo World Report and VideoGamer.com gave the game an 8 out of 10, while Game Informer[30] and GameSpot[31] gave a 9 out of 10, and EGM[32] and Polygon[33] gave it an 9.5 out of 10.

The game has been praised for its simple but well designed and expansive interface, social elements and highlighting the 10-Mario Challenge. Some criticisms towards the game include the lack of certain elements, with slopes being the most common, and the issue in finding courses from friends on the Course World feature. The game has also been criticized for its level-sharing organization and quality control such as Michael Thomsen from The Washington Post, who lambasted the game by calling it "an engine for circulating bad ideas and broken gimmicks as if there weren’t already an overabundance of them."[34] Patricia Hernandez from Kotaku, on the other hand, as a direct response to Thomsen's argument, has defended Super Mario Maker, stating that "Mario Maker isn’t a worse game simply because all these shitty levels exist" and praising its simplicity of level creation, but has agreed that the content-sharing aspect of Super Mario Maker is highly flawed.[35]

Sales

As of the end of September 2015, Super Mario Maker has sold over a million copies worldwide. It was the fourth-fastest selling Wii U title since the system's launch[36] As of the end of March 2024, Super Mario Maker sold over 4.02 million copies.[37]

Glitches

Main article: List of Super Mario Maker glitches

Black hole

NOTE: This glitch has been partially patched.

This glitch involves a Big Thwomp, Muncher, and another item with which the player wishes to surpass the enemy limit. The player then places the Giant Thwomp with a Muncher on the left side under it. On the other side on the bottom of the giant Thwomp, the player has to place the enemy to be duplicated, start the game and then go out again. Then, the player should duplicate the enemy to be duplicated before going into the play mode again. By doing this over and over, the player can create an infinite number of enemies.

An alternative way to do this glitch was discovered afterwards, which is not patched yet and even works on the Nintendo 3DS version. First, the player must have a Bill Blaster four blocks below the second level line, while still have it above it. Then, the player must place a Big Thwomp on it. Then the player must put the enemy they want to clone right by it. It helps to have a Bob-omb on top of the enemy the player wants to clone, but another video on Ceave Gaming's channel shows it with stacks of Big Goombas. After preparations are made, the player must be viewing the bottom screen and place a coin. Then they must erase the Bill Blaster, get out of Erase mode, and hit undo twice. Player repeats the process after preparations until desired number is reached, but 36 coins can only be on the screen at once. It should be noted that duplicated enemies on the Nintendo 3DS version shows up in Edit mode, but not in Play mode, where only the max number of enemies can be seen until some are defeated and moves the camera, or the player goes through a door and encounters different enemies.

If the player goes above the normal enemy limit in an extreme level, the editor may crash and their progress will not be saved. Therefore, the player should save the glitched level at multiple occasions. Also, this glitch can cause the game to lag if used to bypass the normal 100 enemy limit.[citation needed]

Super Mario Maker Bookmark

Home page
Home page, as of April 17, 2019

Super Mario Maker Bookmark was an official website which allowed users to search and bookmark Super Mario Maker courses from PC and smart devices to play them later. It launched on December 22, 2015,[38] coinciding with the game's version 1.30 update, and shut down on March 30th, 2021 at 5 PM (PST).[39] Users were able to bookmark a course from the website by signing in with their Nintendo Network ID. While logged in, they could also visit their profile to view their own uploaded courses.

The website featured three tabs where the player could search for courses. The Recommended Courses tab featured highly popular courses that could be sorted by All, Easy, Normal, Expert and Super Expert. The tab also contained an area called Special Collections, which users could access to view courses featured at special events such as GameCenter CX and Tokaigi, or courses selected by the game's development team based on a theme such as Costume Mario and Super Mario Bros. 3.

The Course Search tab allowed users to filter courses by game style, course theme, region, difficulty, tag, and upload date. There was also an option to sort courses by star rate, total stars, lowest clear rate, times shared, and most recent.

Lastly, the Maker Rankings tab featured a top 100 of course makers ranked by a certain category: total stars, number of world records, number of first clears, or number of 100 Mario Challenge clears. Users could also view similarly-organized course rankings,[38] although this feature was removed prior to the website shutting down.

The following are the course sets from the Special Collections.

Thumbnail Name Official description Number of courses Link
Thumbnail used for the "Tokaigi 2016" collection Tokaigi 2016 These courses were created by the "King of Course Creators" challengers nominated for the final round of the "King of Course Creators" / "King of Course Players" contest at Tokaigi 2016. 96 [link 1]
Thumbnail used for the "GAMECENTER CX Super Mario Maker Special" sets GAMECENTER CX Super Mario Maker Special (set 1) These courses were chosen by the staff of GAMECENTER CX for a challenge in which Arino KACHO took on courses in a 120-minute live broadcast. 120 courses were selected from over 10,000 submissions by the public, and these are the first 60.

Thumbnail used for the "Course Selects: Super Mario Bros. 3" collection Course Selects: Super Mario Bros. 3 This is a selection of courses chosen by the development team, based on the theme of "Super Mario Bros. 3."
The Super Mario Maker development team ranges from people who worked on creating the original Super Mario Bros. 3 to people who weren't even born when it released!
But everyone has their own ideas about what made that game special. Though the Super Mario Bros. 3 game style seems to have been less popular than we might have hoped, we've picked out the very best courses that breathed new life into this classic title. 		7 [link 4]
Thumbnail used for the "Course Selects: The World of Costume Mario" collection Course Selects: The World of Costume Mario Costume Mario, who can take on the form of all kinds of different characters, is a power-up unique to Super Mario Maker.
We're thrilled to see just how many courses you've all created featuring Mario in his many different guises.
We crafted each costume's pixel art and sound effects carefully in the hope that they'd make fans of each individual character happy. For this selection, we've picked out courses that will make fans of the original characters smile, but provide lots of fun even for players who are meeting them for the first time. 		6 [link 5]
Thumbnail used for the "Course Selects: Spikes Galore" collection Course Selects: Spikes Galore This is a selection of courses chosen by the development team, based on the theme of "Spikes Galore."
You probably won't find many Mario fans who claim to like spikes, but there's no denying they add some extra spice that many courses just wouldn't be the same without. Love 'em or hate 'em, spiky elements are an important part of the Mario series. So for this selection, we've picked out courses whose creators showed a lot of love for our spiky friends.
Courses with lots of spikes have a tendency to end up hard as nails, but this time we've focused on courses that are lots of fun to play despite all that! 		7 [link 6]
Thumbnail used for the "Course Selects: Tricky Challenges" collection Course Selects: Tricky Challenges This is a selection of courses chosen by the development team, based on the theme of "Tricky Challenges."
This selection's focus is simple: courses that are so hard, they made even our most confident staff members weep. But difficulty isn't all we were looking for! These are the kinds of courses that you can't stop coming back to for one more try. It takes a lot of work to make courses with this level of finely tuned suffering!
If you're not a hardened Mario veteran, you might find these courses a little too much to handle, but it can't hurt to give them a try! 		6 [link 7]
Thumbnail used for the "Course Selects: Simple Yet Fun" collection Course Selects: Simple Yet Fun This is a selection of courses chosen by the development team, based on the theme of "Simple Yet Fun."
There's something almost magical about this kind of course. They don't take that much effort to complete, yet by the time you reach the end, you feel like you've achieved something wonderful. In a sense, these might be the courses that represent the pinnacle of game design—because at the end of the day, aren't games all about making sure the player has a good time?
Let's hear it for all the creators who really know how to put the player first! 		8 [link 8]
Thumbnail used for the "Course Selects: Above the Clouds" collection Course Selects: Above the Clouds This is a selection of courses chosen by the development team, based on the theme of "Above the Clouds."
Is there anything more inherently thrilling than standing high above the world? In the Mario series, the Athletic courses represent that kind of thrill.
Everyone loves them, so it's always tempting to try to design your own. But the more you try to bring out that sense of precarious height, the more frustrating the courses always seem to get. For this selection, we've picked out our favorite courses that find the perfect balance between thrill and difficulty, for a truly tremendous airborne experience! 		6 [link 9]
Thumbnail used for the "Course Selects: Visual Splendor" collection Course Selects: Visual Splendor This is a selection of courses chosen by the development team, based on the theme of "Visual Splendor."
This selection showcases courses that have managed to transcend the limitations of the elements Super Mario Maker has to offer, constructing fascinating scenes that are a wonder to behold. Because there's no denying the importance of atmosphere! And of course, they're fun to play, too. We tip our hats to your creativity. 		10 [link 10]
Thumbnail used for the "Course Selects: Beneath the Waves" collection Course Selects: Beneath the Waves This is a selection of courses chosen by the development team, based on the theme of "Beneath the Waves."
Mario's swimming style can be something of an acquired taste, so underwater courses are among the trickiest to design in any Mario title. We were worried that you'd struggle with them in Super Mario Maker too, but as usual, you've exceeded all our expectations! Enjoy this selection of entrancing underwater escapades. 		10 [link 11]
Thumbnail used for the "Course Selects: Traditional Style" collection Course Selects: Traditional Style This is a selection of courses chosen by the development team, based on the theme of "Traditional Style."
For this selection, we've picked out courses that capture the core of the Mario experience, providing pure platforming action. Each course challenges the player while never overwhelming them, and the items and Checkpoint Flags are always perfectly placed. Even when you fail, you'll always feel ready to get right back into the action in these expert creations. 		10 [link 12]
Thumbnail used for the "Course Selects: Befuddling Puzzles" collection Course Selects: Befuddling Puzzles This is a selection of courses chosen by the development team, based on the theme of "Befuddling Puzzles."
One area that we really focused on in our updates to Super Mario Maker was adding elements that could be used to create puzzle-based courses. The Pink Coins and Key Doors in particular were two elements that we really worked hard to get just right, so we were a little nervous to see how they would be received.
In the end, though, we needn't have worried—you created tons of courses that used them in a multitude of creative ways!
So for this selection, we've picked out our favorite puzzling courses that opened up our minds to a world of new ideas. 		10 [link 13]

Course Selects: Through the P Warp Door The mysterious P Warp Door only appears once a P Switch is pressed. For this selection, we asked makers to create courses that use this advanced item in unique ways, and the development team chose their favorites. 3 [link 14]
Thumbnail used for the "Course Selects: Summer Fun" collection Course Selects: Summer Fun For this selection, we asked makers to create courses perfect for the summer season—be they courses that exude a sense of sweltering heat, or courses that might cool you down after a day in the summer sun. As always, the development team picked their favorites to be included. 3 [link 15]
Thumbnail used for the "Course Selects: Brrrrrring!" collection Course Selects: Brrrrrring! One of the sound effects available in Super Mario Maker is a ringing telephone. Even the development staff weren't quite sure how to use it in a course, so we asked makers to give them some great ideas. Their favorites are included in this selection. 3 [link 16]

The Course World menu music and 100 Mario Challenge map music are both cover versions of the Grass Land map theme.[40] Using the boss battle SFX in the Super Mario Bros. game style will make the Hammer Bros. battle music from this game play. The P Switch theme in this game style is also from this game. The Toad sprite that appears when beating 10/100 Mario Challenge in the Super Mario World style is based on his sprite from this game.

Ironically, when Mario is moving, the kart's engine sound is actually coming from Bowser and Donkey Kong Jr.'s karts, rather than his and Luigi's.
  • Mario Paint: Super Mario Maker is inspired in many ways by this game, and thus features similar elements. The game's logo and the interactive title screen is similar to this game's logo and interactive title screen.

A frog icon, used to add sound effects to the level creator, appears on the left in the edit screen, which is the same as the one used in the music composer mode. Mr. Eraser, Undodog, the "Reset Rocket" that deletes everything on the screen, and the robot that appears when saving something in this game also reappear. When selecting a level to play in Super Mario Maker, the screen used is also based off of the robot.

Trivia

  • On very rare occasions, when Mario falls into a pit, the death jingle is preceded by one of the eight longer sound clips (e.g. one of them which would whisper the game's title).[42][43]
  • Holding +Control Pad down, A Button, and B Button while a course loads will cause it to be displayed as if it were on a CRT television screen, similarly to the Big Mushroom; unlike the Big Mushroom, this Easter egg is functional in all four game styles.[44]
