The limitations might be bothersome, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter because crafting your very own Mario levels makes for an incredible feeling, especially with how easy-to-use the interface is. Super Mario Maker is a supreme early leap into the world of game-making software for Nintendo, and I want to see them make more fascinating games like this, even if I can't place a Charging Chuck on screen.

Super Mario Maker is a remarkable game that only just falls short of what many have been dreaming of for 30-odd years. Anyone, regardless of skill and creative talent, can play and enjoy Super Mario Maker, and that is a rarity for creation tools. All I ever wanted to do back in the day was recreate Super Mario levels with interesting twists. Super Mario Maker encourages me to do so much more and try and be a game designer all by myself. And for that I love it.

It's unnecessary to beleaguer the points of what makes a Mario game great. Super Mario Maker is all about taking the classic assets, music, and experiences, and making them your own. It is extremely accessible to newcomers, and also offers quite a hefty challenge for those who can claim themselves veterans of the franchise. The title really is the gift that keeps on giving. It packs such a tremendous value that it will make purchasing feature Mario titles seem frivolous.

Ultimately though, Super Mario Maker will live or die on content sharing and Nintendo's long term support. And that's not a criticism or a compliment, it's just an observation of how this investment will be valued.
