It's not long until Super Mario Maker graces Wii U systems all over the world, and our own personal interest surrounding this intriguing DIY title grows with each snippet of fresh news.
Today's interesting titbit is a new video from Nintendo of Japan which shows off the game's mechanics in a surprisingly level of detail, as well as illustrating how amiibo support will work in the game.
Link, Bowser and Wii Fit Trainer are all shown interacting with the game, as is the unique "classic" Mario amiibo which launches alongside the title.
Super Mario Maker launches in Japan on September 10th, and in the rest of the world a day later.
Also, check out the Japanese packaging - it's like a Famicom box!

Because we haven't heard enough about SMM! Lol
That being said, I do like the Japanese packaging, it looks like a board game!
It would be awesome if the Silver and Gold Mario amiibo would make Mario silver or gold in the game.
I used to be on the fence about this game, but this honestly looks really fun now. I want to get it now!
100 Mario mode confirmed!
Also, it looks like you can wear shell-hats!
Also, giant 8-bit Amiibo "Mariofies" everything in the game!
Can't wait for this.
The more I look at this the more I'm amazed at what a well designed tool this is. No wonder they can crank out the NSMB games when they need to.
The packaging is sweet.
Let's be honest, if the decision to skip Minecraft for Wii U hadn't happened, we wouldn't have this game. So, in the immortal words of Falco Lombardi, "perhaps I should be grateful."
SMM is going to consume a large amount of the gaming time, especially with the SMW levels. The problem for me is that most of my gaming time is taken up with Splatoon, and I haven't touched Yoshi's Wholly World yet and Zelda SS has taken a back seat.
Hype is building nicely for this game.
@tysonfury Uh....huh? How does Minecraft effect this game?
@TeeJay
I think (just my opinion) that Mario Maker was Nintendo's response to fans who wanted a minecraft style creation-game on the gamepad
I never realised how much till now u can actually do with this game! I love the amiibo stuff too!
Ive wanted this ever since I heard about it. Though I never got into the amiibo stuff. Is there really anything to it? Seems sort of dumb.
@icedude545
Ew.
@tysonfury It's really not. The staff had gotten good, versatile tools for course creation in all 2D Mario styles, so the idea came from there and not from anything related to Minecraft.
Anyone notice one of the levels was named Body is Ready?
I really wish I paid more attention to my JWOW lessons... translation anyone?
Man this thing looks fun. Ill be making mostly SMW themed levels personally. On a side note, I wonder what Ness will look like.
Nintendo need to make Super Mario Player for 3DS that plays all user created levels, all of the styles also exists in 3DS, so it should be possible.
One thing I still don't know is if we can make an entire game from this (ie say 6 consecutive worlds which you can "complete", or is it just a single level or world? I haven't seen a map either, if we create our own map for each world that would be incredible, maybe as DLC?
@BLPs - It's OK if Japan gets it before the west, it's only bad when the EU and US get it on different days. Anything good that releases in Japan we just consider ourselves lucky to be getting it at all.
@BLPs I wanted to ask you about something. What is the best way I can contact you?
