A 2D platformer construction kit where you build and share Mario levels. Place enemies, platforms, pipes, and power-ups using the Wii U GamePad's touch controls, then test your creation immediately. Switch between four visual styles—original Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. U—each with distinct physics. Upload finished levels for others to play, or download stages from a global pool. The Mystery Mushroom lets Mario take on costumes of other characters (Link, Kirby, dozens more), each with unique animations and sounds. Unlock these by clearing 100 Mario Challenge or tapping compatible amiibo figures. Special Mario amiibo add a Big Mushroom power-up that enlarges Mario to smash blocks in any direction. A bundled 100-page book demonstrates design possibilities. Good fit if you've ever sketched level ideas on notebook paper.
