Super Mario Maker arrived on the Wii U in September 2015, released as part of the 30th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. It let players create, play, and share courses in the styles of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. U. Critics praised its user interface and course editing tools, and by May 2016 players had built more than seven million courses, played over 600 mill
A 3DS port followed in December 2016, though without the ability to upload courses to the online portal, and a sequel arrived on Switch in June 2019. Sale of the original on the Wii U eShop ended on January 12, 2021, with course uploads and the bookmark portal site following. The legacy lives on in the sequel — and in millions of courses that only existed because ordinary players became designers.
