Super Mario Maker

Super Mario Maker is a platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. It was released as a 30-anniversary celebration of the Super Mario Bros. franchise. A port for the Nintendo 3DS, known as Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, was released on December 1, 2016.

The game received a sequel named Super Mario Maker 2, released for the Nintendo Switch on June 28th, 2019.

Why It Builds A World

 * 1) Awesome use of editing from past Mario games, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and the New Super Mario Bros. games. You have access to pretty much everything that appears in those Mario games.
 * 2) The level builder is very user-friendly and easy to get used to.
 * 3) If you're not into building levels then you can instead just focus on playing levels others made.
 * 4) The Weird Mushroom is a really interesting power-up. It lets you jump higher than usual.
 * 5) You can use filters and ID searching to find the levels you want.
 * 6) Colorful graphics for a Wii U game.
 * 7) Millions of possible levels to play, both made by you and found online.
 * 8) Good controls that simulate the original games almost perfectly, ALMOST.
 * 9) Challenge modes test your Super Mario Bros. abilities.
 * 10) Huge amount of replayability.
 * 11) When playing in Super Mario Bros. style, you can use the Mystery Mushroom item to give Mario special costumes based around tons of different characters from multiple franchises, even including some non-Nintendo IPs like Sonic the Hedgehog, Chitoge Kirisaki from Nisekoi, Hello Kitty and Shaun the Sheep.
 * 12) * You can use Amiibos to unlock costumes right away.
 * 13) * Several characters have their own sound effect.
 * 14) Older stage types are given new obstacle types not available in the original games.
 * 15) The Big Mushroom is a cool new power-up in this game, allowing Mario to break blocks by jumping on top of them or running into them.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The physics in each Mario stage type aren't exactly the same as the originals.
 * 2) It's quite lacking in objects and tiles. The sequel game fixed the problem.
 * 3) * There are only two boss enemies, and they are Bowser and Bowser Jr.
 * 4) * There aren't that many power-ups or level themes. For example: the Hammer Suit and Mini Mushroom are absent. On top of that, slopes are absent.
 * 5) Bowser's AI in Super Mario Bros. 3 is flawed. While it can be nice to recreate the final boss from Super Mario Bros. 3, Bowser doesn't always jump to where you are and even tends to randomly jump away or past you.
 * 6) The 3DS version is inferior as it suffers from frame rate issues and removes many features such as uploading courses and removes some items such as the mystery mushroom and the giant mushroom.
 * 7) You have to wait a long time for new objects and themes.
 * 8) The search system is rather clunky. If you want to find a certain level, you have to type in a sixteen-character-long ID.
 * 9) Due to the success of the sequel, Nintendo announced that the game will be removed from the Nintendo eShop on January 12, 2021, and on March 31, 2021, players will no longer be able to upload their courses online. Luckily, players can still access the eShop/play courses that were purchased/uploaded before the discontinuation. Also, the game can still be bought physically in used condition.
 * 10) Unfortunately, it is Nintendo EAD's final overall game, Nintendo EAD went defunct on September 16, 2015.

Reception
Super Mario Maker received critical acclaim upon its release, with reviewers praising the game's user interface and course editing tools. In May 2016, Nintendo announced that over 7.2 million courses had been created worldwide, which had been played over 600 million times.
