Earlier builds

E3 2014

Originally called Mario Maker, this build of the game was first presented at E3 2014 with a demo that the attendees could play with the following differences compared to the final game:

• There was only one row with fourteen place-able course elements: Brick Blocks, ? Blocks, ? Blocks with Super Mushrooms in them, Ground Blocks, Pipes, Trampolines, Moving Platforms, Coins, Goombas, Koopa Troopas, Hammer Bros., Piranha Plants, and Wings.
• Ground Blocks were placed in a way similar to Semisolid Platforms.
• In the Super Mario Bros. style, objects had heavier shading, certain objects looked shinier (Coins, ? Blocks, and Brick Blocks), and the background had a grid pattern unlike the final's recreation of the Super Mario Bros. background.
• There was no sign at the beginning of courses.
• Coins emitted sparkles when collected.
• Details that automatically pop up when creating a course weren't in the game yet.
• Enemies exploded when Mario touched the flagpole.
• In the demo the timer was set to 999 unlike the final game which can only go up to 500 seconds.
• The icon for selecting which direction a moving platform should go was circular rather than square.
• Instead of the clock icon used in the final game, it instead said "Time" over the Time.
• Trampolines in the Super Mario Bros style had a different sprite that was more true to Super Mario Bros. compared to the final build.
• Super Mushrooms could not be placed on their own in the demo and were instead in a block automatically.
• The HUD in the editor looked completely different then in the final game.
• In the Editor, instead of the rocket ship was a trash can. Also, the Undodog and hand had their original sprites from Mario Paint.
• There was also an button for placing objects with a hand representing it.
• Weird Mario had a different sprite which looked more like a stretched out Small Mario instead of having his own unique sprite.
• In the New Super Mario Bros. U theme, the animations were different.
• The background was flat in the New Super Mario Bros. U theme and none of the objects (clouds, hills, etc.) moved along with the screen.
• Whenever the player finished a course in the demo, a voice saying Congratulations could be heard, confetti would fall along with some Super Stars, and a few hands would clap for the player. In the Super Mario Bros. style the hands were pixelated, while in the New Super Mario Bros. U style they were smoother.

Game Awards Trailer

During the Game Awards, a trailer for Mario Maker was released. While it was closer to the final game than the E3 2014 build, it was still very different.

• The object selector's color was red.
• The object selector had where the number is in the final an object that looked like a ninja star.
• The Super Mario Bros. 3 style's sign looked different.
• The Fire Flower's color in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style matched the original game's color.
• The Bill Blaster and Cannon both turned blue in castles and underground even in the Super Mario World style.
