Mario Maker is an upcoming game creator application for the Wii U which allows players to make their own 2D platform, Super Mario levels. It allows players to insert blocks, enemies, items, and more from the original Super Mario Bros.; it also contains some new modified power-ups, such as a Luigi Mushroom that changes Mario into Super Mario by stretching Small Mario's sprite. The game also allows switching between the graphical styles of various 2D Mario games. The game was announced at E3 2014 and was set to be released early 2015, as part of Mario's 30th Anniversary, but slated release dates were changed from "early 2015" to the more vague "2015".[1]
Graphical styles
The game will give players the option to choose the graphical styles from various 2D Mario games.[2] There are four styles announced thus far and it has been stated that others may also be available in the final game[3], including some visual styles from non-Mario games.[4] These games include:
So far, it's unknown whether the world themes of the later games will be used. Also, while the Super Leaf from Super Mario Bros. 3 has been confirmed, it's unknown whether the other game-exclusive items will appear, and whether or not they can be used in the other styles.
Differences from base-games
Although the recreation is mainly faithful, there are some minor differences in each styles. For example: in the original Super Mario Bros. game, Elevators could not be jumped through from underneath; this was possibly put in place to remain consistent with the Lifts in the New Super Mario Bros. series.
Sharing system
Mario Maker will have a dedicated way to share course creations with the rest of the Mario Maker user base and Nintendo is implementing a system to share courses online, similar to what was done with Pushmo World and the later games in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series.
Customization options
Mushrooms and most enemies can ride on top of other objects and bounce off springboards. Enemies can have wings added to them; in the case of Goombas and Koopas, it makes them look and act like their "Para" variations. Red Koopas can be spawned by shaking a standard Green Koopa until it turns red.
Enemies can be made huge, and players can add coins to multiple enemies and objects, which will make them produce coins. In addition, players can also use ridable Lakitu Clouds, and wall jumping and Ground Pounding will be possible.
