Gosh, it's almost looking too good to be true. Please just do the online sharing right.

Nice Flappy Bird reference at the end. Still some questions about this though, like what will be the maximum level size, how are they implementing the different physics for each version and how easy will it be to share and find levels.

Kuribo's shoe needs to be in this. Also I could swear the last few seconds of this vid are a jab at flappy bird.

That part at the end looks more challenging than probably anything in the original game?

I kind of hope the music isn't tileset-specific. Classic SMB music in everything, please.

Totally cool with this game now! My last hope is for the ability to create super long levels.

@spunkyhepanda: The online sharing is what makes or beaks this for me. I don't have much interest in creating levels myself, because I'm depressingly uncreative, but I'm really excited at the idea of playing all the crazy shit other people make. If they fuck that up, It'd be a real bummer.

if Nintendo does right and has a great online componet such as Top Rated Levels, Top Nintendo Picks, and just a search funtion, this could be fantastic

The SMB3 tileset part having a high detail enemy-goes-poof effect was a bit weird.

Awww yeah, glad to see tilesets, varying sizes, and interesting tweaks like the cannons shooting coins. REALLY hope they nail sharing, and that they add some kind of way to link between pipes and other maps, and then this is basically GOTY next year for me.

I'm honestly wondering if it will be possible to recreate each of these games completely. That would be an absolute must.

This is already looking more exciting than what they showed at E3. Definitely picking this up.

I would say the fact that I've watched this 3 times is a good sign for this game.

Definitely, the length of the level will be very important in the end, though with good online sharing, and long levels people might just end up recreating every single 2D Mario before, and after this.. thus stealing money!

I'm interested to see if they maintain the feel of each game. I feel like it would be unfortunate to be able to switch to original mario bros. yet it plays like the new ones.

Mario Paint introduced me to things like pixel art and digital composition. With games/tools like this, minecraft, little big planet, etc. I wonder what the game developers of the future will be like.

I hope this has a dope music sequencer/I hope Wii Music 2 is basically hidden beneath this game.

I too hope Nintendo gets the online sharing, searching, filtering, and curating right. It's sad that this is a concern, but it's the world we live in. The only baseline we can establish are the sharing functions of WarioWare DIY, Pushmo World, and the forthcoming functionality for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Was Pushmo World's sharing functions good enough?

As for the level length and being able to make entire worlds, I'm sadly expecting rigid limits on both. I predict that the level length is set to a short limit and that users won't be able to string multiple levels in to a world. Heck, we have yet to see Mario Maker go down a pipe.

Lastly, I assume we'll be stuck with the Super Mario Bros. (1) physics until Nintendo says otherwise.

I am sooo pumped about different areas of mario that we can now make (underwater, lava, underground, outside and probably many more places)! I am also smiling ear to ear with the addition of Super mario 3 and super mario world (my 2 favorite mario games ever)! SOOOOOO PUMPED THIS IS 2015 GOTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They haven't shown much (anything?) in the way of boss fights, so I wouldn't be surprised if those aren't available. They also are stressing that these are 'courses' so I suspect that the idea is to make small, challenging segments in which people can compete via time and score.

That being said, the timer for the parts in this trailer was always at or slightly below the 500 mark, so it's probably possible to recreate and create plenty of full stages even if some of the extremely gimmicky stuff in certain Mario levels likely won't be here (ex: some of the Ghost House and Forest of Illusion stages from Super Mario World).

This seems like it would be neat for an afternoon of downloading other people's levels (assuming Nintendo has a online sharing options, which they absolutely must have). I wouldn't make any of my own because I'm just not creative or have the patience to deal with making levels.

I must have a heart of stone, because I can't see myself spending time to create levels if they can still only be transferred via flash drive.

If they can be shared via Internet, then I can't wait for the UPF with this game.

Oh man I was super not interested in this when they showed it at E3 and now it's to the point where I kind of want to buy a WiiU just for this. I love the Mario Maint title screen font at the end there, too.

I wasn't impressed at all when this was first announced, but the addition of a Super Mario World tileset has me intrigued. I have about 3-4 notebooks full of custom Super Mario World levels I would dream up, and maybe Mario Maker will be what gets me to buy a Wii U and make those levels a reality.

Hopefully there aren't that many constraints.

They were pretty cagey about saying whether it has online sharing or not, right?

I like Nintendo and the Wii U a whole lot, but I would not be shocked if online sharing isn't possible.
