Super Mario Maker 2015

Is it still worth playing?

A September 2015 game for the Wii U, with a 3DS version in 2016, that hands you the parts of Super Mario to build levels with. They are drawn on the GamePad in four styles, from Super Mario Bros. to New Super Mario Bros. U. Making a level is as simple as touching an object and placing it on a grid, with toys such as Kuribo's Shoe and Giant Goombas that split into more Goombas. One rule kept courses honest. A course could only be published once its maker had played it to the end. Others found those courses in Course World, starred and ranked, and the 100 Mario Challenge ran players through random uploads on a hundred lives. In May 2016 the count stood at 7.2 million courses played 600 million times, and the servers closed on 8 April 2024. Building a course and having to beat it yourself still defines it today.
