Super Mario Maker is an upcoming game creator application for the Wii U which allows players to create and share their own 2D Super Mario levels. It allows players to insert blocks, enemies, items, and more from the Super Mario Bros. series. The game also allows switching between the graphical styles of various 2D Mario games. The game was announced at E3 2014 and is set to be released in September 2015 (originally early 2015), as part of the 30th Anniversary of Super Mario Bros.[1].

The four graphical styles used in the game.

The game will give players the option to choose the graphical styles from various 2D Mario games.[2] There are four game styles to choose from. These games include:

Traditional themes in the Mario series, various enemies, blocks, and certain items that didn't appear in certain styles, such as the Koopa Clown Copter, can be used in all four styles, with new assets made to make them fit in to the respective games. However, certain gameplay elements, such as wall jumping, spin jumping, some game-exclusive power-ups, such as the Cape Feather, and the end-level goals, are exclusive to their respective styles.

Available objects

One noticeable detail is that when placing an object, a distorted voice will say the name of that object, entwining with the stage's music.

All or most objects can ride on top of other objects and bounce off springboards.

The following objects can have wings added to them; in the case of some enemies (such as Goombas and Koopas), it makes them look and act like their "Para" variations in previous titles:

The following enemies can be made huge by dragging Super Mushrooms onto them:

Players can drag:

onto:

which will make the latter produce the former object.

The following objects can be made to move along rails by dragging them onto one:

The following objects can be put into Koopa Clown Copters. The copter will resize to fit the enemy, if it does not fit. If it has an object in, it will try to drive into Mario. Mario can also ride Koopa Clown Copters, and he gains control when doing so and can shoot fireballs while flying. If it has nothing in, it will stay still, until Mario enters it:

Piranha Plants can be put into Lakitu's Clouds. Mario can also ride Lakitu's Clouds, like he does in Super Mario World. If it has nothing in, it will stay still, until Mario enters it.

Power-ups

All styles

Super Mario Bros. exclusive

  • Mystery Mushroom - by tapping amiibo onto the Wii U GamePad, that character can be inserted into the game as a transformation for Mario in the form of this item.[6]
  • Luigi Mushrooms[7]
  • Big Mushroom - tapping the 30th Anniversary Mario amiibo allows this to appear and make Mario larger. Enemies will also feature Mario aesthetics and the screen will change to look like an old TV screen.[6]

Super Mario Bros. 3 exclusive

Sharing system

Super Mario Maker will have a dedicated way to share course creations with the rest of the Mario Maker user base and Nintendo is implementing a system to share courses online, similar to what was done with Pushmo World and the later games in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. Uploading levels is limited to 10 at first, but players will be able to earn the ability to upload more when more players online recommend them. Players can even create worlds, which are set up like in Super Mario Bros., with four levels per world. In order to share a stage online, players must be able to complete it. Players can download, play, and even alter stages made by other players, but they are unable to re-upload those altered stages to the online servers, as to avoid issues of stealing.

Differences from base-games

Although the recreation is mainly faithful, there are some minor differences in each styles

Players can also experience a 100-Mario Challenge, where the goal is to clear 16 player-made levels with up to 100 Marios. Players can obtain up to 3 1-Ups in each stage.

Super Mario Bros.

  • Moving platforms and mushroom platforms could not be jumped through from underneath in the original game; this was possibly changed to be consistent with the platforms in Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U.

New Super Mario Bros. U

  • Springboards can be carried in the original game, but they cannot here. This was possibly changed to be consistent with Super Mario Bros..
  • Switches cannot be carried in the original game, but they can here. This was possibly changed to be consistent with Super Mario World.

Development

Shigeru Miyamoto had shown interest in developing a user-generated 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.[16]

References to other games

  • Mario Paint: Undodog reappears, and sometimes a Gnat roams through the screen. Also, the game's logo is similar to the title screen of this game. A frog icon on the left in the edit screen is the same as the one used in the music composer mode. The eraser icon is also the same. The rocket that deleted everything on the screen also reappears. A robot icon also looks similar to the robot that appeared when saving something in this game, when selecting a level to play in Mario Maker, the screen used is also based off of the robot.
