Super Mario Maker: special episode of GameCenter CX incoming, cameo costume; more

GameCenter CX

Super Mario MakerIn Japan, Nintendo has decided to once again use GameCenter CX in order to promote Super Mario Maker. It’s nothing new, actually: during the NicoNico Chokaigi event, earlier this year, the game was showcased live (with Shigeru Miyamoto making a guest appearance on stage). It’s also not really surprising, as the show is extremely popular in Japan (and overseas)!

And this morning, Nintendo announced that a special episode of GameCenter CX would be broadcast on December 12th (10PM JST) on Fuji TV ONE, NicoNico and YouTube Live. Quite obviously, the episode will focus on Super Mario Maker, but there’s a nice twist: Shinya Arino will play levels submitted by fans.

Fans have until November 25th to submit their levels via this page. Please note that you need to use your own Nintendo Network ID to submit a level, which has to be your own (you can’t submit one for a friend, for example). You can also leave a comment, which has to be in Japanese (unfortunately, we don’t know if only levels submitted by Japanese players will be accepted… at least, the page isn’t region-locked!).

The episode will be broadcast on December 12th at:

  • Japan: 10PM
  • Europe: 2PM
  • UK: 1PM
  • North America (EDT): 11AM
  • North America (PDT): 8AM

But that’s not all… Nintendo also announced that the levels made by Shinya Arino for the NicoNico Chokaigi stage event will soon be added to Super Mario Maker (the date will be revealed later on the official website). Players who manage to clear them will be able to get a special costume for Mario, based on Arino himself! Unfortunately, we don’t know yet if the levels and/or the costume will also be released outside Japan.

Here’s a video of the costume:

Finally, Nintendo uploaded one last Super Mario SUP-tember episode for Nintendo Minute. In this one, Kit and Krysta make a level based on ideas submitted by fans… surely nothing can go wrong, right?

Today is a bittersweet day because it marks the end of Super Mario Maker SUP-tember. We’ve had so much fun sharing the game with you, but we’re ending in a big way with a really fun video. A while back we asked you what you’d like to see in a Super Mario Bros. level, and today we’re building it for you all to see! It’s called “Lakitu Lovin’” – that may be a hint about something you’ll see in the level. Maybe it’s great…maybe it’s not! Let us know what you think in the comments. We’ll be back on Friday with an all-new video taking a look at a different game – hope to see you then!
