Minecraft is a game released by Mojang Studios. It is a 3D sandbox game with a blocky aesthetic centered around gathering resources to survive from environmental hazards or hostile mobs, exploring the randomly generated terrain, and creating worlds and sculptures using a variety of colorful blocks and tools, though the objective is largely based on the player's direction. It was originally released as an indie game for the PC and handheld devices on November 18, 2011. The Wii U version of the game, known as Minecraft: Wii U Edition, was originally released for the Nintendo eShop on December 17, 2015,[2] and later released with a physical edition on June 17, 2016.[3] A Nintendo Switch port, known as Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition, was released for the Nintendo eShop on May 11, 2017.[4] Aside from the different controls and an increased map size, it is otherwise identical to the Wii U game. An edition of Minecraft for the New Nintendo 3DS, aptly titled Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition, was launched on September 13, 2017. The original game includes references to the Super Mario franchise, such as a painting featuring 100m from Donkey Kong (which was based on a painting by Kristoffer Zetterstrand), and the Wii U, New Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo Switch editions keeps these references.[5] However, all three Nintendo versions of the game also feature the exclusive Super Mario Mash-up, a complete Super Mario-themed reskin of the game's original objects, which was also released alongside the Wii U and Nintendo Switch physical editions.[3]

A new version of Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch, named simply Minecraft, was released digitally and physically on June 21, 2018. The new version allows cross-play with other platforms, namely Windows, ChromeOS, Android, iOS, iPadOS, Fire, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation VR, which shares the same codebase known as "Bedrock" (originated from Minecraft: Pocket Edition). Players who purchased the Nintendo Switch port can have an option to upgrade to the new version for free.

Minecraft: Wii U Edition was discontinued after its final update in 2018 along with other legacy console platforms except for PS4 and Xbox One.[6] Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition was also discontinued on January 15, 2019.[7]

Steve, Alex, a Zombie, and an Enderman from Minecraft all appear as playable DLC characters (the last three being alternate costumes of Steve) in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, along with a stage based on Minecraft, Minecraft World.

Super Mario Mash-up

The Super Mario Mash-up was released as downloadable content for the Wii U version on May 17, 2016 (though it comes bundled with the physical release), alongside the Nintendo Switch version on May 11, 2017, and as part of a free update to the New Nintendo 3DS version on June 5, 2018.[8] It was developed in conjunction with Nintendo.[9] Though the mechanics of Minecraft remain the same in the pack, everything has been visually changed to match the aesthetics of the Super Mario franchise, which includes different skins for the player and every block, item, and mob. There is also a premade world containing several Super Mario landmarks and multiple enemy gauntlets and jumping challenges;[10] additionally, the Mash-up comes with its own soundtrack comprising almost entirely of music from Super Mario 64.

Skins

Template:More images Skins are textures that the player can apply to change their appearance. There are forty Super Mario-themed skins that come with the pack. The skins, as they are titled and ordered from the selection screen, are:

These skins cannot be used in cross-platform multiplayer.

Mobs

Mobs make up the creatures that can be found across the world, both friendly and aggressive. Once again, all of them retain the same behaviors and sounds of their original Minecraft counterparts (e.g. the Hammer Bro-skinned Zombies charge in on players and make moaning noises like Zombies in the base game rather than throwing hammers and emitting their own voice clips in the Super Mario franchise), as mash-up packs bear no gameplay differences.

Super Mario enemies and characters are listed first, followed by the original mob in parentheses.

Map

In-game map of Minecraft's Super Mario Mashup Pack
In-game map of the pre-built world

Many large-scale, notable Mario landmarks make an appearance in the pre-built world, including Peach's Castle, Delfino Plaza, an Airship, the Sunken Ghost Ship, and many more generic locations including a Ghost House and end-of-level Castles.

Locations are often connected by Warp Pipe contraptions or World Map-like paths. Large sprite recreations and 3D statues appear across the entire map. Treasure, including Minecraft Music Discs and Gold Ingots, are often hidden at points of interest.

Entering Minecraft's Nether dimension through a recreation of the Valley of Bowser entrance features an explorable Bowser's Castle and additional landmarks. The Nether itself is based on World 8 from modern platformers.

Paintings

The paintings are often used throughout the map as decoration.

Pre-release and unused content

Unused images (presumably intended for use in the digital manual) in the files for Minecraft: Wii U Edition show that different skins were originally going to be used, rather than the ones in the final version. These include Hooktail as the Ender Dragon instead of Gobblegut, Midbus as the Pigs, and Yoshi as the Horses. Another image shows the Ender Chest with a Mr. I-themed design, rather than the Shy Guy-themed design it has in the release version. Zombie Villagers were originally Boomerang Bros, though they were changed in an update to Hammer Bros. wearing the clothes of the Pianta they were before they were transformed. Similarly, Zombie Pigmen resembled Rex prior to being redesigned and renamed to Zombified Piglins, which now look like Pom Pom instead.

The screenshot showing the Yoshi horses was actually used in the "Horses" section of the "How to Play" menu, prior to the patch adding the Battle Mini Game.

Media

Template:More media The Super Mario Mash-up reuses music from Super Mario 64. The only songs from Super Mario 64 that do not appear are "Dire, Dire Docks", "Looping Steps", and "Staff Roll".
