Super Mario Maker Ver. 1.30

On December 22nd, Nintendo will release a new update for Super Mario Maker: you can learn more about it (and check out some trailers) by clicking here!

Here’s the patch notes for Ver. 1.30:

Add objects such as Fire Koopa Clown Car.

Add linkage with the Super Mario Maker Bookmark portal site that will allow a more detailed course search.

Users will no longer be able to use the words “Like”, “Yeah!”, and the “★” symbol in their course names.

Please change the course name when saving a course that includes these words.

“World Record (fastest player to clear the course)” and the “First Clear (first player to clear the course)” will be listed for each course.

For courses that were posted prior to the Ver. 1.30 update, only the “World Record (fastest player to clear the course)” will displayed.

Adjustments will be made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.

The update will require 298MB of free space on your Wii U or external HDD. To download it, you will have two options:

let the console do its thing if you have automatic downloads activated. You should have the latest version the next time you lanch the game;
if not, you can launch Super Mario Maker from the Home Menu (not the Quick Start Menu) in order to trigger the download and installation of the update.

To check that you have the latest version of the game, simply launch it: you should see this at the bottom right corner of the screen:
