    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

After you finish a level, you can post it for others to play and you will get ratings by other players. There is a 100 life challenge where you playthrough a series of levels with 100 lives.

    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!

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

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.

    Why haven't I reviewed this yet? Anyway, it's awesome. There is some sort of satisfaction in creating a level and uploading it to the servers. Each game style is similar but they all offer at least something unique. This game is a blast to play. An easy recommendation from me. 10/10

    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.

    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.
