The Mario experience of your dreams has arrived and is bursting with creativity… including yours! Play a near-limitless number of intensely creative Super Mario levels from players around the world. It’s easy enough to create your own levels with the Wii U GamePad controller that it may feel like you’re simply sketching out your ideas on paper, but you can now bring enemies and objects into a playable course in ways you could only dream of before. What was impossible in traditional Mario games is now impossibly fun, so let your imagination run wild!

A free March 9 update will add a Super Expert mode to the 100-Mario Challenge.

The mode is unlocked after players clear Expert mode. Super Expert Mode dishes out six extremely tough courses.

Additionally, 12 new Mystery Mushroom costumes have been added to 100 Mario Challenge.

The update also provides level creators with even more tools:

• Shake a P Switch to turn it into a key. Shake a Door to turn it into a Key Door. Creators can make enemies hold keys, meaning players can’t advance without defeating mandatory bosses.
• Shake a Coin to turn it into a Pink Coin. Players must collect them all to make a key appear.
• Shake a Thwomp to turn it into a massive Skewer column from Super Mario World.
• Additionally, the Super Mario Maker Bookmark site will see additions such as ranking categories for world records and the number of first clears on courses, inspiring new ways to experience the main game.
