Super Mario Maker (スーパーマリオメーカー, Super Mario Maker) is a stage based on the game of the same name that appears as downloadable content in both versions of Super Smash Bros. 4. It was officially revealed on September 14th, 2015, and was released on September 30th, 2015.
Stage layout
A random cursor from Super Mario Maker customizes the stage's layout at the start of a match, in the style of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, or New Super Mario Bros. U. These themes will occasionally switch between each other, with the next theme being randomly chosen. Notably, the non-omega variant of the stage cycles through two of the four themes on the 3DS version, but all four on the Wii U version; both omega forms cycle through all four themes. The cursor also repairs blocks that break on the stage. Fighters start on pink temporary platforms that vanish when jumped off of, rolled on, or walked off of.
The randomly-generated stage may be a floating island or a walk-off stage with bottomless pits, and may feature slopes. Elements that can appear on the stage include:
- Stationary floating platforms (sometimes tilted)
- Platforms that move along rails
- Mushroom platforms
- Bridges protruding from walls
- Donut Lifts that fall when stood on
- Breakable blocks (in the Super Mario World style they become Flip Blocks, which spin when hit and become intangible until stopped by the cursor)
- Unbreakable blocks
- ? Blocks that yield items when hit (often items from Mario games; the cursor will refill these blocks periodically)
- Warp Pipes
- Blocks of slippery ice
- Conveyor belts
- Pools of lava
In the Wii U version, various Mario objects and enemies can fly by in the background, including Bullet Bills; a Hammer Bro., a Koopa Troopa, a Lakitu flying by in clouds, and a Goomba riding a Koopa Clown Car.
Ω Form
The Ω form of the stage features a single platform that extends downward slightly using inverse slopes. Although the theme will still change, the layout is always the same, making it one of two Ω stages to appear differently through different playthroughs.
Origin
In the game Super Mario Maker, players can create their own 2D Mario levels to play and share using the four themes found on this stage. While editing a level by tapping the Gamepad screen, a cursor appears on the TV screen, shaped like either a hand holding a stylus, a cat's arm, Mario's arm, or the hand cursor from Mario Paint. If a player tests their level with Mario placed above a bottomless pit, he will spawn on a small pink platform.
