Build and Play Custom Levels with Super Mario Maker (09/11/2015)
The long awaited Super Mario Maker releases Friday, September 11, 2015 for the Wii U. With this game, you will be able to create and share your own levels using themes and tiles from Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros U.
If making levels isn’t your thing, you have access to an almost infinite number of levels created by other users and game developers alike, with several hundreds of levels available at launch. In fact, many developers and people of the press have been making levels for this game since over a month in advance, and some levels were even used during the 2015 Nintendo World Championships. Ranging from easy to near-impossible, casual to hard-core gamers will be able to find something suitable to their tastes for a very long time with this game.

If you don’t already own a Wii U, Walmart is offering a Super Mario Maker bundle which is actually a really good deal as it includes the black 32GB Wii U Deluxe console, the Super Mario Maker game (digital download), and a Super Mario Bros 30th Anniversary Modern 8-bit Mario Amiibo (red and blue).
Super Mario Maker with Idea Book
If you already have a Wii U, your best bet will be just to get the standard edition, which comes with an idea book to help you get started in creating levels of your own. Although the modern red and blue 8-bit Mario Amiibo is exclusive to Walmart’s Wii U Bundle at launch, the classic red and brown 8-bit Mario Amiibo will be available in stores on September 11, 2015.
