List of sound effects in Super Mario Maker

Sound effects are a feature in Super Mario Maker and its Nintendo 3DS port that can be accessed in Course Maker by tapping the Soundfrog icon. They can be placed onto the backdrop and will play if Mario touches them, but they can also be placed onto objects and enemies and will play the noise if the object does a specific thing (for example, hitting a ? Block from below). Most sound effects create visuals and will appear as the sound itself plays. Additionally, there is a sample course in the game called "Sound Effects" that shows the player how sound effects work and what they can do.

All sound effects are unlocked alongside the sixth shipment of editing tools, but are available from the start in the Nintendo 3DS version. A total of 28 sound effects are available in the game.
