Between Nintendos 100 courses, and seemingly no end of Wii U designs, you wont be left in want for something. If you've not tried Super Mario Maker on Wii U and aren't bothered by sharing your creations with the world, it's still very much worth your time. Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS offers a lot. Perhaps with a future update? We seriously doubt it. It's only besmirched by the fact online sharing is so very limited. Super Mario Maker 3DS is a great port, with creation tools that work wonders on the touchscreen and the Challenge mode is a brilliant addition.

The interaction between these two introduces an all-new tutorial and lessons that will help you hone your skills. Mary explains that Yamamura happens to be an expert course designer and that they are here to help you learn the art of creating courses. It's so frustrating because it seems like an incredibly easy feature to implement, especially as the infrastructure is already there from the Wii U release and really mars what is otherwise a fantastic 3DS port of an equally fantastic Wii U title. Review When starting Super Mario Maker on the 3DS, you are greeted by a pigeon named Yamamura and his assistant Mary. But again, it's reliant on you passing someone who also has Super Mario Maker 3DS and a level that's ready to share. The only way you can share levels from the 3DS is by StreetPass, the 3DS feature that swaps content with other 3DS players you might meet on your various travels. – and if you know your Mario games, you'll also know that these skins give Mario new abilities depending on their vintage, whether that's flight capes or fireballs. The core idea behind Super Mario Maker is the ability to create, play, and share your creation, but the 3DS drops the ball on the last part of that credo.Wat. You can even skin your levels to make them graphically resemble Super Mario, Super Mario 3, Super Mario World, or New Super Mario Bros. But thankfully the game gives you everything you'll need to do that. To begin with, it feels like you're just trying to make the game work as fast as your imagination to create the epic Super Mario level of your dreams, but in reality it takes a lot of work to create something truly amazing.

Like with the Wii U gamepad, the stylus-based touch controls makes it dead simple to start dropping in pipes, coin blocks, Goombas and more. The same great creation tools from the Wii U game are all here, with tonnes of tutorials that help make creating your very first Mario level not such a daunting experience. From the surface it looks like it's the very same game that launched on the Wii U at the end of last year.
