The game includes much of the content from the original Wii U release, with notable exceptions being its sample courses, 10 Mario Challenge, the [[Mystery Mushroom]] and [[Big Mushroom]] power-ups (and thus the [[Costume Mario]] and [[Big Mario]] forms), and searching for courses by code. It is also possible to play courses made in the Wii U version, though not every course is compatible with the 3DS version due to version differences, such as the removal of Mystery Mushrooms and Big Mushrooms from the 3DS version.

 

Exclusive to ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' and replacing the Wii U version's sample courses, the game includes 100 new courses designed by [[Nintendo]] pre-installed. The courses also include medal objectives, in which the player must fulfill certain criteria, such as collecting every [[coin]] in the level, to earn a medal. Players can also send unfinished courses to other players, by way of Local Play, and they can team up, or collaborate, on stages. Stages made in this way have a special icon marked next to it. The editing mode of the game also includes Yamamura's Lessons,<ref>Nintendo. (November 17, 2016). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zhE5Sb45O4 ''Super Mario Maker 3DS'' - Overview Trailer (EN)].

The '''Super Mario Challenge''' (called '''Challenge Courses''' in the [[Coursebot]]) is a challenge mode containing 100 levels that replaces 10 Mario Challenge from the Wii U version. It has Challenge Medals to collect that come in handy for accessing the 19th world. Each time one of the first 18 worlds is cleared for the first time, some course parts are unlocked.

 

The are two types of '''Challenge Medals''' that can be collect through the playthrough or Coursebot for each level. Nintendo mentioned some of these challenges in trailers before the game came out. The first medal is the '''Goomba Challenge Medal'''. It is available on the first time play. The second harder medal is the '''Bowser Challenge Medal'''. This one doesn't show up until either it is completed or the Goomba Challenge Medal has been earned. The Bowser Challenge medal can be either a more advanced form, a total opposite, or a non-related challenge of the Goomba Challenge Medal. No Challenge Medals can be earned if the player loses a life after touching a [[Checkpoint Flag]].

'''Assist Items''' are items that could appear when the player loses five lives. The player can choose not to accept the item, but they would be asked again if they lose five more lives. If the item is activated, the Challenge Medal would become unobtainable. Assist Items can't be activated after the player touches the Checkpoint Flag, as it, too, removes the possibility of collecting Challenge Medals.

After the player rescues Peach, the credits roll while Mario walks. There are coins at the top-left corner possibly meaning lives added. When Mario enters the castle, the score of all 88 levels is rallied up. After that, a "To be continued..." message appears due to the player needing to play World in order to unlock bonus content.
