Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS

About Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS

Super Mario Maker hands you the tools of a Mario designer. Using the styles of classic Mario games, you place blocks, pipes, enemies and hazards on a grid and watch your ideas become playable courses in seconds. The Nintendo 3DS version brings the building joy to a handheld, with a generous set of parts and a campaign of Nintendo made courses that teach design by example. Super Mario Challenge sends you through those courses with limited lives, each world showing off ideas you can steal, remix and improve in your own creations later.

Building is wonderfully tactile. You drag parts onto the course with the stylus, shake some enemies to change their behaviour and test everything instantly by jumping in as Mario. Local sharing lets friends trade courses, and recommended courses from the bigger Mario Maker world arrive to keep your library fresh. The campaign courses are excellent in their own right, mixing gentle lessons with tricky finales. Whether you dream of kind courses for beginners or devilish trials for experts, the editor makes experimenting fast and fun, and finishing a course that plays exactly as you imagined is a thrill.

Here is the buying position for the Nintendo 3DS version. The Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, so new digital purchases have ended. A physical cartridge from a game retailer or a second hand seller is the standard route today. Creators who bought the game digitally in earlier years can still access their purchased games on their own system and keep building.

It is a toy box that turns players into designers.
