Super Mario Maker Will Let You Build Your Own Mario Levels

Nintendo is letting players take control of its Mario platform game building tools with Super Mario Maker, and now we know when it’ll be available: September 11, 2015. The “game” allows people to create their own levels in either Super Mario Bros 8-bit graphics, or more modern 3D style (albeit with the same mechanics underneath), and then play them instantly.

During their digital E3 2015 event, Nintendo showed off an extended preview of the tool, and explained a bit about how they originally designed levels for the first Super Mario Bros. for NES. They suggested that people can build up serious game design chops by cutting their teeth on Super Mario Maker first.
