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.
Players can design and share their own 2D Super Mario courses, as well as viewing, playing and commenting on courses made by other creators. To build a course, players can select a theme based on one of four previous Mario games: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U. Each theme has distinct mechanics and their own variety of objects, blocks, enemies and items.
Gameplay typically uses the Wii U GamePad; other controllers such as the Wii Remote, Wii Classic Controller and Wii U Pro Controller]] are also compatible. The game has compatibility with amiibo, which can be scanned to unlock different Mystery Mushroom costumes based on the amiibo figurine.
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, and on March 31st, 2021, the ability to upload new courses was discontinued. Thankfully, players can still play courses that were uploaded before the discontinuation.
A port of this game was released for the Nintendo 3DS in December 2016; a sequel, titled Super Mario Maker 2, was released for the Nintendo Switch on June 28, 2019.
