[E3 2015] Super Mario Maker – New Details, Screenshots, Trailer

-

While Super Mario Maker has been known about for some time now, Nintendo have used their recent Digital Event livestream to highlight some of the many new features being incorporated into the game creation kit.

Players will have access to a multitude of tools to easily create the Mario level of their dreams through the Wii U GamePad. To provide a bit of assistance to those starting out, the game will include a Hardcover Artbook totalling approximately 100 pages, which seeks to illustrate “the boundless possibilities in Super Mario Maker”.

Nintendo will also release two special Mario amiibo figures, one of which will be part of a limited edition software bundle, 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, 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.
