*The HUD for all four styles is laid out like the HUD from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', with the coin counter on the left and the score and time counters in the top-right.

*An in-game "second" on the [[Time Limit|timer]] is actually one second, as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', rather than 0.4, 0.6 or 0.7 seconds.

*Mario reverts to [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] in all styles if he is hit as [[Fire Mario]], [[Raccoon Mario]], [[Caped Mario]] or [[Propeller Mario]]. In the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario World'' and Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' games, he reverted directly to [[Small Mario]] (although in ''Super Mario World'', he could have a replacement power-up stored in the [[item storage|Item Stock]], which is absent here).

**Similarly, if a "second tier" power-up is grabbed as [[Small Mario]], he will go straight to the appropriate form instead of only growing to [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] like in  ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

*[[Bowser]] cannot throw [[hammer]]s; [[Bowser Jr.]] (with wings) has that option instead. However, a [[Hammer Bro]] or winged Bowser Jr. can be put on Bowser's head to simulate this.

*All castle areas end with a boss bridge and an [[Axe]], even in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'' styles (where the original games featured boss fights such that the boss had to be directly defeated to progress).  

**Similarly, all airship areas end with a normal goal rather than a boss fight.

*It is possible to jump over the [[Goal Pole]], Axe or [[Giant Gate]]; whereas the original games treated these as touching the goal. The player must now directly touch the goal to complete the course.

*[[Muncher]]s, originally invincible to direct attacks, can now be defeated with a giant Goomba's Shoe, Spiny Shells, or [[POW Block]]s.

*[[Coin Heaven]] does not exist in any of the four styles.

**Furthermore, ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'' styles now have a drop shadow effect on all in-game sprites and elements.

*The Underwater theme is completely underwater, consistent with other game styles.

*All shells now have spinning sprites, like in the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series.

*[[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mushroom]], [[Mystery Mushroom]], [[Goomba's Shoe]]s, and the [[Big Mushroom]] did not exist in the original game.

*No timer event exists to trigger [[fireworks]] after completing a stage, although a firework SFX exists and can be triggered by Mario walking from the Goal Pole if the level designer includes them.  

*As part of the use of the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' HUD layout, the [[P-Meter]] is placed under the coin counter in the top left of the screen, rather than below the playing area.

*[[Raccoon Mario]] can defeat [[Dry Bones]], similar to [[Cape Mario]]'s mechanics in the ''Super Mario World'' style.

*Fire Flowers are colored red, rather than white or blue.

*When Mario touches the [[Goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]], he does not get a card, as they do not exist in ''Super Mario Maker''. Instead, he receives points for whatever that was displayed in the roulette at the time he touches it. A [[Super Mushroom]] is worth 100 points, a [[Fire Flower]] is worth 800 points, while a [[Super Star]] is worth 4,000 points. A [[1-Up Mushroom]] is added to the roulette to give Mario a chance at getting an extra life instead of points.

*Skewers, which were first introduced in this game have a completely new design and go vertically and/or horizontally, corresponding with other game styles. Mario can now pass through them, but will still sustain damage while doing so.

*Keys no longer require being lifted to use; instead, they automatically follow Mario after obtaining them. Additionally, they now have a vertical sprite instead of horizontal.

*Dry Bones and doors have slightly different sprites.

*Koopa Troopas lack a sprite when turning from a side to another.

{{main|List of Super Mario Maker glitches}}

'''NOTE:''' This glitch has been partially patched.

An alternative way to do this glitch was discovered afterwards, which is not patched yet and even works on the [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo 3DS version]]. First, the player must have a Bill Blaster four blocks below the second level line, while still have it above it. Then, the player must place a Big Thwomp on it. Then the player must put the enemy they want to clone right by it. It helps to have a Bob-omb on top of the enemy the player wants to clone, but another video on Ceave Gaming's channel shows it with stacks of Big Goombas. After preparations are made, the player must be viewing the bottom screen and place a coin. Then they must erase the Bill Blaster, get out of Erase mode, and hit undo twice. Player repeats the process after preparations until desired number is reached, but 36 coins can only be on the screen at once. It should be noted that duplicated enemies on the Nintendo 3DS version shows up in Edit mode, but not in Play mode, where only the max number of enemies can be seen until some are defeated and moves the camera, or the player goes through a door and encounters different enemies.

==''Super Mario Maker Bookmark''==

*''[[Super Mario World]]'': The third game style is based on this game. The map theme for the 10 Mario Challenge is a cover version of the main map theme from this game. The "To Be Continued..." screen at the end of 10 Mario Challenge and Easy 100 Mario Challenge is a direct rip of the "[[bonus game (Super Mario World)|bonus game]] clear" music, and the credits music after clearing a 100 Mario Challenge quotes the ending music. In Version 1.20 and beyond, repeatedly tapping a Warp Door in Edit mode while in the Super Mario World game style causes [[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mario]] to answer the door, portrayed as either [[Cape Mario]], [[Balloon Mario]], striking the end level pose, or riding on [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. Also, update 1.4 on March 9, 2016 added [[Skewer]]s, available by shaking a Thwomp.

*''[[Super Mario Kart]]'': The invincible theme from this game is used when the Mario Kart [[Costume Mario#22|costume]] uses a Super Star. Also, the race start fanfare jingle is heard when Mario picks up the Mystery Mushroom. The 1st-4th place (course clear) and 5th-8th place (death) jingles are also heard. Ironically, when Mario is moving, the kart's engine sound is actually coming from Bowser and Donkey Kong Jr.'s karts, rather than his and Luigi's.

*''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'': The Warp Doors in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style are similar in appearance to the Warp Doors in this game's rendition of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', but are green instead of tan in order to be consistent with the original game's palette color limitations..

*''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'': Several sound effects and jingles from this game are used along with the [[Wario]] [[Costume Mario#16|costume]].

*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': The victory theme and [[Game Over]] theme from this game are used when the Mario, Silver Mario, and Gold Mario [[Costume Mario#2|cost]][[Costume Mario#11|um]][[Costume Mario#12|es]] complete a level or lose a life, respectively. The [[Wing Cap]] theme is used for the Mario costume's invincibility and the [[Metal Cap]] theme is used for the [[Gold Mario]] and Silver Mario costumes' invincibility.

*''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'': [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]] appears as an Event Course [[Costume Mario#121|costume]]. The E. Gadd and [[Luigi]] [[Costume Mario#4|costume]]s use various sound effects and jingles from the game.  

*''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'': In [[Bowser Jr. Playroom]], there appears to be Spiny [[Spiny Shell (red)|Shell Helmet]]s on the outfield wall.  

*''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' / ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'': The victory and death themes from these games are used when the [[Rosalina]] [[Costume Mario#17|costume]] completes a level or loses a life, respectively.

*''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'': The fanfare of beating 10/100 Mario Challenge (Easy) when in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style is the fanfare of rescuing disguised Kamek.

*''[[Mario Kart 7]]'': The [[Super Glider]] appears when the Mario Kart [[Costume Mario#22|costume]] jumps.

*''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'': The fourth game style is based on this game. [[Nabbit]] appears as a [[Costume Mario#134|costume]]. In Version 1.20 and beyond, repeatedly tapping a Warp Door in Edit mode while in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' game style causes [[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mario]] to answer the door, portrayed as either [[Penguin Mario]], [[Propeller Mario]], [[Flying Squirrel Mario]], [[Ice Mario]], or [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]].

*''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'': [[Cat Mario]] and [[Super Bell|Cat Peach]] appear as Event Course [[Costume Mario#105|cos]][[Costume Mario#106|tumes]] along with various jingles and sound effects from the game.

*''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'': When clearing a 10/Easy 100 Mario Challenge in a Toad costume, Toad will address Mario as "Captain", referring to [[Captain Toad]]. A [[Costume Mario#116|Captain Toad costume]] that uses various sound effects and jingles from the game is unlockable after beating the Captain Toad event level; the level itself recommends that the players don't jump to keep in spirit with the original game. [[Toadette]], based on her appearance from the game, appears as an Event Course [[Costume Mario#129|costume]].

*''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'': Mario's construction outfit reappears in this game as one of his alternate costumes, replacing his Wario-themed costume from ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''; the Super Mario Maker stage also reappears.

*''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'': The Key sprite from the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style is reused in one of the [[2D Event]]s.
