    This is ridiculously fun, I didn't know that I wanted this so badly until I got it. I'd recommend this to anyone who owns a Wii U and is looking for a new game

    Got home yesterday evening at 6:30pm. Played this game and didnt put it down until 12:00am. It is a fantastic game and if you own a Wii U it should be definitley in your collection. Making good levels is so much fun you could easily spend hours on the one level without even feeling time pass you by. A lot of the community levels are really fun and creative.You owe it to yourself to ownGot home yesterday evening at 6:30pm. Played this game and didnt put it down until 12:00am.

It will be the one of the biggest games at the forefront of our memories of the Wii U.… Expand

    In short. Simply an amazing idea and the game that got me to finally buy a Wii U with some games I missed until now.

    I would give this a 10 out of 10 if the game weren't missing some key components, like the ability to place slopes, water or checkpoints in levels. Combine this with the fact that you can't put searchable keywords in your level, or the fact that you cannot search by    In short.

    I would give this a 10 out of 10 if the game weren't missing some key components, like the ability to place slopes, water or checkpoints in levels. 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.

    Mario lovers, look no further. This is a must-buy that will keep you occupied with 2d mario games for the foreseeable future.    … Collapse

    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]
