Gamespot: Super Mario Maker is a Mario Fever Dream You Make Yourself
In Super Mario Maker's online play mode, you can download other users' levels to play and edit. However, you can't re-upload a version of another person's level that you yourself have edited. This is another way Nintendo hopes to protect users' original creations, by preventing others from changing a block or two and then passing it off as their own for credit.
Player-created levels can also be rated, and there is a search function within Super Mario Maker's online component where you can test the highest rated levels of the day, the week, of all-time, or within specific regions. More popular levels will show up in a featured section, and you have the option to favorite and follow individual creators to keep up with their newest levels and to look up specific levels by individually ascribed alphanumeric codes.
More info from a Treehouse demo earlier:
- Confirmed two new themes: Airship and Ghost House
- You can make things move on paths that change directions.
- You can make auto-scrollers.
