'''''Super Mario Maker''''', tentatively called '''''Mario Maker''''' when announced at E3 2014, is a 2D platforming and level creation game for the [[Wii U]]. Originally set to be released in early 2015 as part of the 30th Anniversary of ''Super Mario Bros.'', it was released proper on September 12, 2015.
Line 8:
''Super Mario Maker'' starts players with only one row of course elements - as long as they spend at least five minutes using the tools they have, another set of elements will be available for the next day; a Day 1 patch makes these other elements available immediately for player who spend enough time placing them on the course. Players can also add sound effects and their associated visuals to courses, and even record their own sound effects and add them to the game (though they are replaced with a generic parrot/chicken squawk when uploaded to Course World). There are also 68 sample courses that can be unlocked through course creation and play as well.
 
"Course World" is the hub for shared player-made levels, and includes compatibility with the now-defunct [[Miiverse]] service: Players can download, play, and even alter courses made by other players via Course World (though altered courses cannot be uploaded, in order to prevent theft); they can also comment on uploaded courses and give stars to levels they liked. Players could also bookmark courses on the official [https://web.archive.org/web/20210720071515/https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/ Super Mario Maker Bookmark] website, then access the bookmarked courses in the courses section of Course World. Version 1.20 added an "Event Courses" section that allows players to play courses created by Nintendo and potentially obtain Mystery Mushroom costumes this way.
 
On November 7th, 2017, Nintendo terminated the Miiverse service, which removed support for comments on uploaded levels; ''Super Mario Maker'' was removed from the eShop on January 13th, 2021. The bookmark website was discontinued on March 30th, 2021, with the ability to upload new courses discontinued the next day. Thankfully, players can still play courses that were uploaded prior to that date.
Line 44:
* [[Flying Seafood Special]]: Cheep-Cheeps and Bloopers can be used in any theme.
* [[Giant Mook]]: Any enemy can be increased in size by giving them a Super Mushroom during level creation.
* [[Guest Fighter]]: ''Tons''. Thanks to the Mystery Mushroom powerup, you can play as a plethora of characters from not just other video games, but even other forms of media, ranging from [[Wario Land|Wario]] to [[Star Fox (series)|Fox McCloud]] to a [[Monster Hunter|Felyne]] to ''[[Shaun the Sheep]]''.
* [[Helpful Mook]]: Lakitus can toss power-ups or coins.
* [[Homing Projectile]]: Bull's-Eye Bills are fired from red Bill Blasters, and pursue Mario for a certain amount of time.
