Super Mario Maker[a] is a 2015 platform game and game creation system developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U, released worldwide in September 2015. Players could create, play, and share courses online, free of charge, based on the styles of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. U.
Upon release, critical reception was positive, with praise for its user interface and course editing tools. By May 2016, more than seven million courses had been created by players worldwide, which had been played more than 600 million times. Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS[b] was released in December 2016, without the ability to upload levels to the online portal. It received more mixed reviews compared to the Wii U version.Super Mario Maker 2 was released for the Nintendo Switch in June 2019. Sale of Super Mario Maker on the Wii U's Nintendo eShop was discontinued on January 12, 2021, and course upload support and the bookmark portal site was discontinued on March 31, 2021.[1] The remaining online services for both the Wii U and 3DS versions of the game, such as playing levels uploaded before the portal site was discontinued, were shut down on April 8, 2024.[2]
