    Simply the best idea Nintendo has ever had! Super Mario Maker is a masterpiece that can be played and created for years to come! If you still don't own a Wii U and consider yourself a gamer, now is the time to switch over to pure gaming bliss! I can't give a higher recommendation - a must own! Well done Nintendo! 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What makes a Mario game fun? Is it the story? Doubt it. Is it the character development? Probably not. Is it the simplistic, yet challenging, level design that allows you to think that you've "got it this time" and makes you feel a sense of accomplishment when you finally do? For me, absolutely. Now you're telling me that there's a game where I get to design my own levels in great detail in worlds that have been revered as some of the most iconic in gaming? Give it to me now!

    Mario Maker is just that, a game that allows you to play the same game you've been playing for 30 years, but with the added notion that you can literally create your own levels and played the created levels of other players worldwide. That, as a concept, is too cool to pass down.

    The game allows you to play in the game worlds from the original Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World, and Super Mario Bros U. Each world has their own physics and unique gameplay mechanics, so every level feels like you are playing it within that title. There are also an incredible number of unlocks including secret costumes in the original Super Mario Bros world and over 50 creative items for you to build your dream course. Every completionist out there will have their work cut out for them and have a lot of fun doing it.

    You, as a player, now have the opportunity to make a level as exciting as you want or as difficult as you want and share it with your friends and the world. With themes being a big part of level design in Mario history, the addition of the secret costumes, unlocked by using amiibo or simply playing the game, will allow you to create innovative and fun levels based on other characters from the Nintendo universe, like Link, Marth, Pikachu, and even Mega Man. If they have an amiibo, the (almost) always can be played in this game.

    Without a doubt, this is one of the greatest Mario experiences of all time. While it may not be without its flaws, those flaws were there when you played that game before. The idea is not to create a whole new game, but to allow you to become a part of your favorite games from the past. It's truly innovative, fun, and absolutely endless, more than giving enough unique gameplay to warrant the standard price of a game. If you own a Wii U, you should leave right now and buy this game. If you don't have a Wii U, I strongly suggest you at least consider the purchase just for this experience.    … Expand

    This game is amazing. It has a beautiful interface, and enough tools to keep you playing. I wish there were a few more themes, like snow and desert, but what's here is awesome. The menus can get confusing, but that doesn't matter when the content within is spectacular.

    This is a fun game! You get to create your own Mario levels! The graphics are good. The controls are great. The gameplay is awesome! You can even do stuff that you can't do in previous Mario games. Super Mario Maker is a fun game and I would definitely recommend this game.

    A great online Mario game finally hits the market!

    To start off, let's take a look at the different game level designs to choose from ( Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros. 3, etc.). This method is actually one of the most detailed parts of the game, as each design matters depending on the course, as certain major gimmicks appear through some games, and others don't. Super Mario Maker    A great online Mario game finally hits the market!

    To start off, let's take a look at the different game level designs to choose from ( Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros. 3, etc.). This method is actually one of the most detailed parts of the game, as each design matters depending on the course, as certain major gimmicks appear through some games, and others don't. Super Mario Maker keeps each game true to its original and that is what I found the most impressing.

    The tutorial is pretty good for new Mario players ( although boring and it could've been better).

    Another thing that I would like to point out that is so great in the game is the use of different, more complex items as unlockables. I find this to be very essential so the game isn't a freebie with everything when you start the game so you have little to no experience becoming a level designer. Once you have more experience with the basic items, how the unlockables correlate are very well done so the game isn't so confusing.

    The online mode is amazing, other than some minor missteps. The completion system is perfect, the sections you want to play are easy to reach, and the difficulty setting, especially with the 100-Mario challenge, are mostly well done (despite some issues). The comment section is good, but flawed, as the game takes a "Minecraft" approach to online play and no censorship is done for younger players. Nintendo needs to be careful of this. Invisible blocks are a broken way of posting difficult online courses. Personally, I think Nintendo needs a way to stop that.

    One minor ( but biggest) problem with the game is the lack of some really cool additives that should've been used in the game, mainly the checkpoints.

    Even though it sounds like I would give this a 7/10, the game is nostalgia-bringer for the older adults/teens and a great start for younger children. Fun for all ages and can bring a challenge, anything you wanted in a Mario world is not limited to many fun features and gameplay that this game brings. The value is a steal! $60 for many greatly designed levels and hours of fun? Therefore, I give this a medium 9/10! Buy this game if you are a Mario fan. NOW!    … Expand

    But does this fancy tool have the Shigeru Miyamoto magic?

    Well let's find out

    Presentation-9/10

    I bet Nintendo was putting a lot of effort on the amazing tutorial when you load the game for the first time
    and the menu. The menu just shows you a random level which you could play on when you move up on the left analog stick and tapping on enemies with the sylus so yeah! the presentation is outstanding!

    Graphics- 10/10

    The color brightness,contrast,etc are absolutely perfect for 2 NES , 1 SNES and 1 WII U game styles
    unlike the exact port of all-stars for Super Mario's 25th anniversary which used the same graphics!

    Sound/Music- 9/10

    The sound effects were amazing and the music it's self is awesome and catchy to listen to!

    Options- 6/10

    Alongside the other stuff the options are a bit of a disappointment making the game rub off the magic out of Shigeru Miyamto because there are no things such as checkpoints, Blue Koopas and Chargin' chucks and the height limit is low!
    It really is missing out a lot of options! Although, hopefully the juicy DLC and updates come out as soon as possible to fix that!

    Online Functionality- 9.5/10

    The Online Function is Perfect in this game! You get too upload levels after you clear them and other people can play them too! You can also follow creators you like,star their courses,comment and download them too! The best part is that each level you upload will be posted on Miiverse automatically!
    One con is that finding courses need IDs not the course name!

    Gameplay- 9.4/10

    Just like a 2D Super Mario game: The gameplay is outstanding! The amiibo usage is amazing and the 100/10 Mario challenge is just great! The creation tool is great,especially for beginners!

    Lasting appeal- 9.5/10

    This game is worth at a lot of your gaming time!

    Verdict: Super Mario Maker may lack options and would not be a tool that miyamoto uses but it doesn't stop it for being a very nice way of celebrating Super Mario Bros.' 30th aniversary! Almost Everything about this game is outstanding! Almost everything!

    I give it a 9/10 which means Outstanding!

    Pros
    +10/100 Mario challenge
    +Clever Amiibo usage
    +Clean Creation interface
    +Neat palette
    +Level upload and troll verification
    +Perfect Graphics

O jogo conta com recursos incríveis de criação que simplificam e muito o trabalho real que a Nintendo tem em fazer jogos como esse. As vezes questionamos a Nintendo pela demora de um jogo mas SMM nos da uma pequena amostra do porque dessa demora. O processo de criação de fases não se da simplesmente em colocar os elementos e "dar o play". Você deve criar, jogar, experimentar, jogar de novo, pensar em mil e uma possibilidades que o jogador poderá tentar pra facilitar aquela determinada fase então só assim passar pra uma próxima. NSMBU tem mais de 90 fases, então imaginem a trabalheira que é. Uma das sensações mais legais que tive foi nostalgia e a possibilidade de ver a fase dos seus sonhos ganhando forma e vida. A parte negativa do jogo é um tanto contraditória. O jogo conta com bastante ferramentas e mesmo assim faltam muitos elementos pro jogo se tornar ainda mais completo. Senti falta dos cactos, do jogador de futebol americano, dos rinoceronte boss das fortalezas, dos rinocerontes azuis que aparecem em SMW entre outras coisinhas. Isso não atrapalha na experiência de jogo mas "limita" a criação. Talvez o jogo ganhe suporte futuramente com atualizações tal como vemos em Splatoon. No geral o jogo é muito bom doa a quem doer e é um jogo obrigatório pra todo fã do Mario.

    Super Mario Maker marks 30 years since the iconic plumber and his green-with-envy brother made their debut on the original Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was blocky, straightforward and absolutely spectacular.

    The game hasn’t aged a bit. It’s been spiced and spruced and given plenty of coats of paint, but Mario is still Mario, and Super Mario Maker, a new title for the Nintendo    Super Mario Maker marks 30 years since the iconic plumber and his green-with-envy brother made their debut on the original Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was blocky, straightforward and absolutely spectacular.

    The game hasn’t aged a bit. It’s been spiced and spruced and given plenty of coats of paint, but Mario is still Mario, and Super Mario Maker, a new title for the Nintendo Wii U, lets you play God with the Mushroom Kingdom.

    The game, billed as a do-it-yourself level creator, lets players choose between four distinct aesthetics: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U. Players can choose to “make” or “play” on the game’s menu. While making levels, each world has its own music and items, and every bit of the original game is intact, physics and all.

    Equipped with the Wii U GamePad, players use the touchscreen to build their levels. But in all honesty, some of us aren’t so good at making things. But that’s where the real meat of Super Mario Maker comes in: sharing.

    Players can share their levels to “Course World” or download levels made by gamers from around the globe. Give the game a few months and if you’ve got an idea for a level, chances are someone will have made it by then.

    Then there’s the “play” mode. This includes “10-Mario Challenge,” in which 10 levels are randomly selected for the player to traverse. In “Course World” this challenge gets amped up a bit to “100-Mario Challenge” and the game gives you 100 lives to make it through 10 randomly selected user-created levels. That means the level could be super-simple or gruelingly difficult. Roll the dice and take a chance.

    The game also supports Nintendo’s toys-to-life figurines, Amiibo, and they have an unbelievably addictive and wallet-damaging use. Just tap an Amiibo character to the base of the Wii U GamePad and the player can step into the shoes of 100 different icons like Link from The Legend of Zelda, Samus Aran from Metroid and even some more obscure ones like Chibi-Robo and the creepy owl from Animal Crossing.

    Amiibo usually cost $10 to $12, but the characters are completely unlockable in-game by playing the “100-Mario Challenge” mode. Relax, parents: It may be one less thing you’ll need to spend money on.
    Rest assured, Super Mario Maker is a delight. It’s a player-created wonderland packed full of content and a blast to play.

    One can only wonder what Nintendo has planned for future Mario anniversaries.

    Of course Super Mario Maker is a really great game. The only part that really stinks about this whole thing is it's an idea stolen from fans, and in the process of its making, harmed those fans and basically told them to screw themselves. But, despite the history of the games development, I must admit that this is so much fun to mess around with.

    Der Online-Modus funktioniert schnell und problemfrei (zumindest bei mir). Die Level werden schnell geladen und es kommt extrem selten zu Netzwerk bzw. Server-Problemen. Nur die Suchmaschine ist ein wenig umständlich. So kann man Level zum Beispiel nur nach Codes und nicht nach Namen suchen. Wenn man einen Baumeister favorisiert hat, kann man seine Level allerdings leichter finden, da sie einem direkt angezeigt werden.
    Der Amibo-Zugang ist sinnvoll und ist deswegen auch sehr gut. Dadurch, dass man auch mit Charakteren wie Link, Samua oder sogar der Wii-Fit Trainerin spielen kann, werden sehr viele Level abwechslungsreicher und haben einen eigenen Touch.
    Allen in allem kann man sagen, dass Super Mario Maker ein sehr simpler, aber guter Level-Editor ist. Auch wenn einige Elemente fehlen (die durch Updates nachgereicht werden können) bietet uns der Mario Maker mit vier verschiedenen Grafikebenen und vielen Items, Gegnern etc. ziemlich viel. Aufgrund der vorhin genannten Punkten gebe ich dem Spiel 8/10 Punkten. Außerdem eine klare Kaufempfehlung!    … Expand

    This game is one of the surprises of the year. This is all that a fan of Mario needs: tons of hours creating and playing levels made by users. It's practically an infinite game, and the possibilites with a non-complicated editor are amazing.

    Pros:
    -limitless possibliities for creating
    -if you are not creative, you can still enjoy playing other's levels
    -you can skip bad levels
    -power up costumes are great

    Cons:
    -many levels are automatic (fixed by being able to filter levels on the companion site)

Combine this with the fact that you can't put searchable keywords in your level, or the fact that you cannot search by name, only by ID. Also levels can only be 2 screens in height which limits you from creating falling levels.

    The problems above can be fixed with patches or paid DLC though, but upon the time of writing, that's not the case.

    Overall though this is an incredible fun experience both to play or create in and that has player created content that makes it last for a long long time to come.

Whatever day job tasks I had in front of me, I could only focus on one thing: the Mega Man-themed level I was going to make when I got out of work, bought my shiny new copy of Super Mario Maker, and scurried home. That's the kind of thing Super Mario Maker does to you: the very idea of such a game-slash-development-tool, a first in the Mario franchise, and quite likely the defining Wii U gamepad-centric title, is enough to inspire obsession.

    I believe there are two kinds of people who will want this game; let's call them Teddy and Jimmy. Teddy wants Super Mario Maker because he can't wait to see what shenanigans other players will come up with. He doesn't feel particularly excited with the creative challenges of coming up with his own levels, and as such that aspect of the game doesn't appeal to him. Is Super Mario Maker a worthy buy to Teddy? Perhaps. I can't really tell, because I am no freaking Teddy. No, my friends, I'm a Jimmy. In fact, I'm the Jimmiest Jimmy you can get.

    You see, Jimmy fancies himself a creator. He likes that extremely satisfying feeling of dreaming something up and watching it unfold. Jimmy likes to write songs, to create stories, to think up ideas for video games. Jimmy spent years as a kid inventing fictional countries with his brother and a couple of friends who lived next door, and went to the trouble of coming up with every imagineable aspect of said countries, from their ancient history to their soccer teams to their musical charts. Okay, maybe it was specifically Rick who did that, but you know what? If you have any crazy creative exercises you like to go through, you're a Jimmy. And you'll love Super Mario Maker.

    The game is a surprising addition to the Nintendo catalogue and, at the same time, exactly what you'd expect from the Kyoto company. It has one of the most brilliant presentations I've ever seen in a video game, with wit and charm permeating every tiny detail, no matter how inconsequential. It has an extremely well-thought-out interface that's easy to use and get the hang of, and it offers hours upon hours of lighthearted yet challenging fun. Like I said, this is all very Nintendo. What is not is the degree of freedom the game gives you, and that is a very welcoming change of pace for the company.

    With a gradually-unlocking set of tools that covers a limited chunk (more on that later) of Mario history, Super Mario Maker allows your imagination to go wild. You can make regular Mario stages, of course, and it's very advisable that you start there. As you get the gist of how things work, however, you'll be able to think of novel ideas, interesting ideas, and yes, utterly crazy ideas. Even within its limitations, the game is a veritable blank canvas for a tireless Jimmy mind.

    The process of unlocking tools is, at first glance, kind of cruel. After fiddling with the "Make" mode for five minutes, you have to wait one full day until the next unlockable update... or do you? As it turns out, you don't. If you, like the good Jimmy you are, start obsessing over every new unlocked set, putting it immediately to good use on a new stage, you can get the next delivery in a matter of minutes. This process also helps you start by thinking small, which I hear is very advisable in order to become good in any creative craft.

    With so many possibilities to pour your hours into, it's hard to fault the game for what it doesn't do. But, my friends, I told you I'm a hardcore Jimmy. I don't merely want to make my stages and call it a day. I want to come up with my own graphic backgrounds. I want to make new enemies and bosses. I want to access more power ups, such as the ice flower or the frog suit. I want to write my own tunes in a Mario Paint-like composer. Sadly, those aren't options here. But hey, downloadable content is a thing, so who knows? Maybe Nintendo isn't done throwing us delicious creative bones just yet.

    The good news is that, by playing with the available tools, you'll be surprised at the amount of ideas you can build from the ground up. For example, that Mega Man level I wanted to make? I spent fifteen hours (I kid you not) fine-tuning what was a very ambitious idea, and even though I had to make cuts to what I originally envisioned, it worked and I'm very proud of it (it's at 9438-0000-005A-C6FA if you feel like checking it out).

    So let me flat-out say it: Super Mario Maker is the real deal. I keep occasionally lamenting the lack of a few features (and especially the half-assed music-making options), but those are immensely overshadowed by what I am, in fact, allowed to do in the game, especially on the "Make" mode. The pixel-perfect Super Mario physics, as well as the creativity of a big international community, probably make the game still worth it if the only mode you wanna rock is "Play"... but Teddy boy, let me tell you: you're missing out.

    Simply the best idea Nintendo has ever had! Super Mario Maker is a masterpiece that can be played and created for years to come! If you still don't own a Wii U and consider yourself a gamer, now is the time to switch over to pure gaming bliss! I can't give a higher recommendation - a must own! Well done Nintendo!

    Wow the userscore matches the rankings scores. I really enjoy this game in that it's one of a kind. I'm hoping that Nintendo continues with this trend and creates a metroid type & zelda type just like this.

Without a doubt one of the best recent games in terms of replay value. Unfortunately, it can get a bit tedious in the beginning when you're playing purely to unlock the various parts to use in your level. But after that, it's only fun and good times to be had. Even if creating levels is not really your thing, you will have a really great time playing the creations of others. That is, if the levels you play do not involves copious amounts of enemy stacks or several hundred platforms in space. With checkpoints recently added, it would not seem unlikely for some DLC to be rolled out at some point in the future - namely slopes - which would make a lot of people very happy. Super Mario Maker is perhaps not everyone's cup of tea in terms of creating levels, but it's all great Mario goodness. And we love Mario goodness.… Expand

    Simply,a killer application of WiiU.And a MUST for any player that has even a little sympathy for the genre.
    Play a level of some friend that in his childhood was an hardcore gamer of Mario,and put his experience to create some hard level,is a challenge worth of the bought of this box of dreams

    A unique game that will have replayability years into the future, regardless of whether it is on the NX or not. Even if you never make a single course, there are many Mario games worth of excellent levels from Nintendo, famous designers, and ordinary people just like you. Nintendo will really have to one-up even excellent previous 2D Mario games in the future, because this is spectacular.

    A really fantastic game. Making levels is an amazing creative outlet, and even if you aren't feeling particularly creative, you still have hours and hours worth of other peoples levels you can play. It's also super fun that you can choose between several different styles of Mario, if you are into the older versions of Mario like I am.

    Super Mario Maker is the next big milestone in the 2D Mario series after New Super Mario Bros. Going into the game with relatively low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of fun I actually had with this title.

    Mario Maker's gameplay is clearly divided into two big facets: playing levels and creating levels. I actually got into Mario Maker because I thought playing    Super Mario Maker is the next big milestone in the 2D Mario series after New Super Mario Bros. Going into the game with relatively low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of fun I actually had with this title.

    Mario Maker's gameplay is clearly divided into two big facets: playing levels and creating levels. I actually got into Mario Maker because I thought playing other people's levels was going to be the really entertaining. To be honest, I've never really cared about the level creation. Being able to create my own Mario levels is something that has never got me excited, despite being a fan of 2D Mario platformers. But surprisingly, making levels ended up being my favorite part of the experience by far.

    One thing that should be noted if you’re planning to play Mario Maker is that this is a game that takes an active effort from your part to be truly enjoyable. This isn’t a game that you just put and enjoy. Well, you can do that if you only play levels, but to get the most out of Mario Maker it takes a bit of creativity and effort from the player. Initially I thought this was going to be a problem for me, believing that I would be staring at a blank level creator without any ideas on what to make at all. But fortunately, once you start messing around with the tools you’re given, fun ideas just emerge naturally. And once you get on a streak of creativity, that’s when Mario Maker realizes its full potential. That’s when the game becomes truly addicting.

    The level editor is very accessible and enjoyable to use. Some things are missing, sure, like pools of water, certain enemies, power ups and such, but overall it feels complete. It has a pretty big repertoire of tools from previous Mario games for the player to use. I wish the enemy limit would be a bit higher, but it’s still alright. Mario Maker is very self aware that people are going to create stupid and nonsensical levels, and because of this the game offers a lot of tools for doing just that, crazy levels that are pure nonsense.

    The presentation is very good. The developers clearly intended to make this game as user friendly as possible. The game is full of silly gags and secrets. Like once I got a notification with a random philosophical quote involving chain chomps. Funny things like that are all over the place.

    The online functionalities are well optimized. Uploading your courses and seeing other people give you stars and comments is always satisfying. You can even see the parts of your levels where people die, and also the clear percentage. There are also official courses uploaded by Nintendo, which are pretty good.

    But there’s a problem with Mario Maker’s online. One that anyone will notice very soon. The problem is that nobody in the world knows how to make good levels, or even decent ones. 90% of the levels are either a cakewalk made by a 5 year old, troll levels, levels that play themselves, levels full of dumb gimmicks, or in the opposite side, levels that are so hard that nobody but a hardcore Mario player can enjoy. There are good levels every now and then, and playing bad levels can be fun and even hilarious at first, but the novelty wears off quickly. There is always some fun to be had with 100 Mario challenges and such, and this is definitely a good option to have around if you feel like playing some Mario, but if you want to play good Mario levels that are actually well done, you better stick to New Super Mario Bros U.

    So overall, this is a game that never caught my attention because I didn't care about making my own Mario levels, but once I started playing it and dedicating myself to creating levels, Mario Maker finally clicked on me. I could finally see what all the people saw back in 2014 when the game was announced. Mario Maker was truly a great way to celebrate the ex-plumber's 30th anniversary, and is a game I can totally recommend to anyone interested in 2D Mario, creating platformer levels, or game design in general.

    There are a few features I wish this game had to help improve on the aspects of designing your own levels. A lot of this changes based on the game style you choose, Original, Mario 3, World, Wii U. Wish it would mishmash more of these but it is a wonderful sandbox Mario making game. I highly recommend this game I suggest if you own a WiiU you go out and buy it.

    Mario Maker is a fun time. Yes it may lack a lot of the mechanics that make the games so great but you'll find yourself building levels for months and months. It's community and creators pushed very "non Mario" levels foward that were crazy and unbearable. It had it's audience but I was not a part of it. Overall the game was super fun, not perfect but fun.

    This game is simply superb. To be honest, this is definitely one of the best ideas that Nintendo has ever had. When they first announced the game, I wasn't really that excited for it. Not that many people were. Sure, I was going to get it, but not a first-day buy. But then, when you saw the progress evolve in the game, with the extra tools and gadgets, and even online capability - you knowThis game is simply superb. To be honest, this is definitely one of the best ideas that Nintendo has ever had. When they first announced the game, I wasn't really that excited for it. Not that many people were. Sure, I was going to get it, but not a first-day buy. But then, when you saw the progress evolve in the game, with the extra tools and gadgets, and even online capability - you know that this game has got to be good. So, let's review each individual parts.

    A: Music/Sounds

    Everyone loves music in games, but Super Mario Brothers has never really been well known for its music. But in this game, the remixes during the creation of levels gets you more into the game. The way the speech goes with the tune - masterful! Though, unfortunately the music for each style/setting is locked, so you can't have New Super Mario Brothers U Castle music on a classic Super Mario Brothers Ground stage. Really limits the potential. But, with the all-new music block, you can literally create your own music. I won't really get into that, but it sure is amazing.

    7/10

    B: Gameplay

    Some of the best in Mario Games history. The jumping feels so smooth and superb, and doesn't lag a bit like in the older Mario Brothers games. Switching between gamemodes is extraordinarily easy, pretty much a tap of a button. The physics in each graphical style changes with what that game had. For example: In Super Mario Brothers U, you can Wall-Jump. In Super Mario Brothers 3, you can grab shells and throw them around. In Super Mario World, you can throw shells and even Galoombas upwards. Creating levels is also extremely easy, with a user-friendly interface and a tile-based placing system. Switching from create mode to play mode works like a charm, and there are barely no loading screens in the entire game.Unfortunately, when you start off the game, you're only given the essentials. Classical and New Graphical style, goomba, coins, koopa - stuff like that. Originally, it was extremely annoying as you had to wait 9 days to get everything, but they have now fixed that and you earn more blocks by creating more.

    9/10

    C: Online

    Seeing what other people have been coming up with is great and all, but unfortunately most of the levels are extremely horribly made, or are Automatic levels (Complete themselves without you pressing a button). I mean, an Automatic level is great and all. Seriously, some are really good. But for the 50th time, you tend to get a little bored of it. Another major problem, is the TROLL levels. Seriously, don't get me started on these guys. You can't upload a level unless you can complete it. Unfortunately, trolls are able to get around that by placing random invisible blocks that will miraculously reveal the path to the end. Not only is it a troll, but ruins the entire point of beating a level to upload it. This can make the Expert mode on the 100 Mario Challenge disappointing and impossible. Luckily though, you can get around that by skipping the level. I'm not going to get into the 100 Mario Challenge, that will be for you to discover and get rewards from.

    6/10

    Overall, Super Mario Maker is an amazing game with awesome potential. I can't wait to see all the DLC and competitions to come. My total rating, for this game is a...

    For the 30th Anniversary of the Super Mario Brothers series Nintendo has decided to go the create, share, play route with Super Mario Maker on Wii U. Released on September 11th 2015 this game is a culmination of the series (just the 2D ones) from its beginnings Super Mario bros. (1985) to its more current offering New Super Mario Bros U (2013). Super Mario Maker is that one of a kind gameFor the 30th Anniversary of the Super Mario Brothers series Nintendo has decided to go the create, share, play route with Super Mario Maker on Wii U. Released on September 11th 2015 this game is a culmination of the series (just the 2D ones) from its beginnings Super Mario bros. (1985) to its more current offering New Super Mario Bros U (2013). Super Mario Maker is that one of a kind game that can capture that nostalgic feeling while creating something fresh and new all at the same time.

    To create levels you are given a tool set which you control using the Wii u gamepad. You will use the gamepad to sift through different game skins (there are four available Super Mario Bros NES, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros U) as well as different materials to make levels like questions blocks, enemies and power-ups, however in the beginning you’re are only dealing with baby tools so to speak like coins, blocks, goombas and koopa troopas you begin to unlock more things as you create levels and use every new piece you acquire. This was a day one patch to fix the outcry from fans that did not want to have to wait 9 days to unlock everything and thank goodness Nintendo listened. While this game technically isn’t treading new territory it does get a lot of things right. This is a game solely on creating, uploading and sharing and while there is an offline mode that offers over 100 levels I couldn’t help but feel that if I didn’t have the internet I wouldn’t have enjoyed Super Mario Maker as much and that in large part is to the community. With over 1 million plus levels uploaded at the time of writing this the community in this game is very active.

    It’s shocking how fun it is to play a level created by someone on the other side of the world and in this Super Mario Maker does something different and something right that Nintendo has never done before. While there are a lot of levels that are real snooze fests (looking at you don’t press anything and automatic Mario.) there are some really thought out and fleshed out levels.

    The devotion of some of the community in the levels and tones of their levels is absolutely stunning. An example of this would be a Mario level where Sonic is the hero. The level was titled Battery Zone and was created to mimic the level of the Sega Genesis classic. The level was very fun and totally unexpected but that is what is so great about Super Mario Maker having your expectations blown.

    As mentioned earlier yes you can use Sonic infact through Amiibo integration or completing the 100 Mario Challenge (A mode where you play through 8 or 16 random user generated levels from the Super Mario Maker community also needs online connectivity.) these characters become available through the mystery mushroom and while can only be used on the original Super Mario Bros theme they add a unique appearance to make your play/creation time more enjoyable. But that is it, unfortunately these characters are purely cosmetic as they don’t change the fundamentals of the game which is both good and bad as I wished they brought something more to the game although the specific game themes that play after you finish a game with a mystery mushroom character are a nice touch.

    The game modes offered in Super Mario Maker are Course World (their internet hub) and 10 Mario Challenge which is the part of the game that you can play offline. The difference in these two types is that 10 Mario Challenge has maps made by Nintendo so while some are easy you won’t see really awful stuff. When you clear courses in 10 Mario Challenge they go to your Coursebot (your nifty companion who helps you save, upload and create) for later playing.

    Super Mario Maker is well aware of the game that it is and isn’t trying to be anything other than a fun time to distract yourself. This game lets you get intimate with the level designer within to create some of the most outlandish levels ever seen in Mario history. My only real gripe with the game is the fact that there are no checkpoints. Some of these levels can be really long and intricate and it feels like an absolute misstep to not include some kind of checkpoint system. It can be really frustrating getting through a real tough spot only to die on the next one and have to start over and while this was the basis for the original Mario games when Mario made the jump to 16 bit he also brought with him checkpoints so why this couldn’t be implemented is something that puzzles me.

    This is an incredible tool – it lets you create and test with exceptional ease, all without sacrificing the number of possibilities or sense of professionalism in the finished product. Super Mario Maker truly offers you more or less everything you need to create the level of your dreams.
