    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.

    This game deserved be released a lot of years behind, in same time of Little Big Planet.

    Ok, the possibilities if you compare this game with LBP are less, too much less. But the Mario universe helps this game, and you can enjoy all Mario games across the years.

    Awesome game, must buy

Also there isn't everything you can put on your level, like the enemy spike, the squirrels and etc. They have some different enemies but they don't have all of the enemies.

    Also it's not limitless... there is a limit to how much stuff you can put on a level and it's gets annoying quite frankly. Because I'm a creative person and when I want to make interesting landscapes. I cannot because I'm limited to "XX" blocks....

    Great game, a great way to celebrate 30 years of mario. Level designing is simple to get into but can very creative based on the creator. The tools they give are great but i wish a few more tools were added and more baxkground were added as well. All in all its a great game and definetly worth 60 bucks

    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

    Super mario bros. has been the symbol of the gaming industry and Nintendo celebrated 30 years of breaking blocks, stomping Goombas, collecting Shrooms and more by bringing us: SUPER MARIO MAKER!

    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!

    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.

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...

    9.5/10

For those who are not as creative as others, you have the option to play any mario level under the sun, created by other users. Heavily popular music soundtrack related levels, nearly impossible levels, extremely easy levels, levels full of bombs, levels full of bowsers, levels full of coins, levels full of stars... this game has no limit on the type of level you want to create or play.

Making great Mario levels isn't limited by mastery of the elements, its limited be creativity. Which makes it such a disappointment that 90% of levels are utter garbage pumped out with no thought or neatness whatsoever. What makes it even worse is that, instead of giving a fair critique system to give people constructive criticism, downvote weakly designed levels and promote creative ones, Nintendo decided to make it an "everyone wins" kiddy game. You can't comment on a level without using the sole upvote button, making criticism and by extension improvement impossible. This baffling decision is by far the game's worst feature. There are many problems with the community as well. Traditional and creative Mario levels are thrown aside so that uncreative auto and troll levels can be thrown to the top of the standings, in other words cheap gimmicks are favored over actually good mario levels and creativity. I made a single troll level that took 20 minutes, and in 2 days it accumulated more likes and stars than my other 4 actual levels I spent days on combined. Which leads me to the star feature. Its incredibly obvious the "star" is to like levels, to give people a reward for working hard, but instead its treated as a "favorite" button, even though it isn't. People are absurdly stingy with stars, and a level with 100,000 plays can have less than 1,000 stars. However, there are many fantastic levels out there, and almost enough to combat the terrible ones. Kaizo in particular are extremely fun and challenging, and provide a constant distraction. Back to the level designer, a surprising number of notable Mario features are included, but 3 times as many are left out for absolutely no reason whatsoever, which greatly takes away from the substance of the game. In conclusion, Mario Maker is a deeply flawed game, which is only saved from a 7 by its ingenuity and creativity.… Expand

    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)
    -some levels are not very good (you can skip them)

    Super Mario Maker is a great game that deserves your attention. If Nintendo keeps giving the game free downloadable content regularly like they are currently, then it will be hard for you to get bored. This is a great 30th birthday present for Mario, as you can play an infinite amount of courses, even though are some bad levels here and there.

    Si os dijera que este juego me a hecho pasar los momentos mas horribles y divertidos de mi vida haciéndome recordar mis mejores momentos de mi infancia... ¿Como te quedas? Fuera ya la coña me encanta y vale mucho la pena, tanto si te gustaría crear tus niveles como si quieres retos difíciles y imposibles algunos.

    I honestly love this game it is primarily a 80$ level creator but it's worth it. It has enough modes to play if you don't feel like making the courses and there's also the awesome user made levels. If you ever wanted your own unique Mario levels then get this game

    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.

    Who could have expected such absurdly high quality from a level editor? [11/2015, p.62]

    Super Mario Maker is more than a just an amazing toolbox for content creation — it's also a big, beautiful toy box filled with all sorts of incredible, remarkable toys each with individual parts for you to spend hundreds of hours falling in love with. Even if you've never liked this type of game, Super Mario Maker may just win you over.
