Super Mario Maker lets people’s imaginations run wild. For the first time ever, friends can have fun playing through levels they create for one another. The Wii U GamePad controller makes it so easy for anyone to create levels; it may feel like simply sketching out ideas on paper. Players can enjoy a seemingly endless supply of inventive Mario levels from players around the world. The game includes a book totaling about 100 pages that illustrates the boundless possibilities in Super Mario Maker. Nintendo will also release two special Mario amiibo figures to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. game. Tapping these amiibo in Super Mario Maker adds a Big Mushroom power-up to your course, allowing Mario to grow big and bust blocks from any direction, as well as adding a retro visual filter to the game, reminiscent of older cathode ray tube televisions. In addition, many other amiibo will also be compatible with Super Mario Maker through the use of a new item called the Mystery Mushroom. This item allows Mario to take the appearance of many other characters, such as Link, Kirby or Wii Fit Trainer, complete with character-specific animations and sound effects. These character costumes can be unlocked by completing the 100 Mario Challenge mode and many can also be unlocked if the player taps the amiibo of the character to the Wii U GamePad. Read less

This was super cool when it first came out. The fact that you can now build your own mario levels in whatever style you want and post it for other people to play was super cool. The thing is, the novelty kinda wore off for me after a little bit. Don't get me wrong its still super cool and people …

The thing is, the novelty kinda wore off for me after a little bit. Don't get me wrong its still super cool and people are super creative. Very cool game overall with lots of cool features.

Just a few days ago, ChainChompBraden finally beat his Mario Maker level, Trials of Death (arguably the hardest Mario Maker level of all time), after 7 years of attempts.

Absolutely one of the nuttiest things I have ever seen lmao.

I tried my hardest to finish the Super Expert mode of this game at least once before the sequel comes out. But alas, it was not meant to be. Perhaps the advent of a dislike button will improve my chances for success in the world of 2?

Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh my god, yes! Mario can slide down a slope, finally!! They fixed the one thing I disliked about the first Mario Maker:

I didn't think this would be as fun and addictive as it is proving to be. So simple, yet the things you can create are vastly complex. And the little homages to Mario Paint sprinkled throughout are a delight.

The third used game disc I've had to exchange due to registering as an invalid disc in my Wii U. Three out of eleven discs that would not play. Either the store I bought them from doesn't check discs upon purchase, or Wii U discs damage extra easily. It is unfortunate to get to the same place in the Mario …

The third used game disc I've had to exchange due to registering as an invalid disc in my Wii U. Three out of eleven discs that would not play. Either the store I bought them from doesn't check discs upon purchase, or Wii U discs damage extra easily. It is unfortunate to get to the same place in the Mario Maker tutorial and see the game crash every time. This is why i usually buy digital copies.

My star rating on this one is strictly personal and not reflective of the game's overall quality.

My husband, who is a diehard 2D platform - especially anything Mario - fan absolutely adores this game.

Me? It taught me that I'm really not that fond of 2D platformers.
