New Super Mario Maker Update goes Live Today

The latest update for Super Mario Maker goes live today.

More than 6.2 million courses from players around the world are available for others to play, and now tomorrow’s update will add a Super Expert mode to the 100-Mario Challenge. The mode is unlocked after you 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.

These are exciting new tools for the game and it certainly expands what you can do and what you can make in the game.
