    When this game released, it was super fun. I had so much fun making levels, playing other people's levels, finding some great creators, commenting on levels on how fun they were. At release, this game was a 9 outta 10.

    Fast forward 3 months. The number of troll levels increases tenfold, Content Creators from YouTube get so much attention that it completely overshadows everyone else,    When this game released, it was super fun.

    The number of troll levels increases tenfold, Content Creators from YouTube get so much attention that it completely overshadows everyone else, Game Grumps makes over 100 episodes of their dumb show trying to beat levels and wastes even more of our time. After 3 months I was being sent troll messages and barely anyone was playing my levels, I was beginning to despise the game. Next thing we knew, Nintendo was just straight up deleting levels. My own levels were deleted permanently from the game's server, I was starting to get angry. Fast forward even more and Nintendo announces that Miiverse is being shut down; every post, every picture and every reaction to these levels were about to just disappear and never return. I have no idea if the messages were kept on a separate server, because by then I had completely given up on this "Game" that used to make me smile. By the end of this game's life, it is a 1/10.

    Thankfully they turned everything around with the sequel.    … Expand

    Super Mario Maker cant really be considered a game but more Nintendo trying to squeeze a couple more pounds from the big plumber. This laziness shows in lack of lack of freedom and gets boring fast. the community don't help either as most levels are extremely difficult and consist of hundreds of enemies and a secret hidden block so the creator can publish it.

Or you stand still and watch Mario bounce from spring to spring until he reaches the flag. If you think that sounds fun be my guest pick it up but prepare to play most of the game with out touching the game pad… Expand

    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.
