Super Mario Maker was originally conceived as a tool by Nintendo's internal development team, to be used only within the company.

In contrast, he also expressed disappointment in particular limitations, such as the absence of a checkpoint as seen in, and the vertical and horizontal limits of each stage.

The increasingly rich online library of has been individually showcased and praised by reviewers, and has been praised by Mario series co-creator. He described Nintendo's restraint in the gameplay difficulty of its own content, in the interest of mass appeal. He expressed both appreciation and caution for the fact that the users do not necessarily share the same restraint in their creations. I expected that the users who wanted to play more of the hard courses would be attracted to Super Mario Maker. It was quite a surprise how much fun it was to watch the videos, without even playing myself.

There are so many intriguing and inventive courses, like one which you couldn’t beat if you picked up a mushroom. It’s been a huge motivation for us developers to do better. However, there were many players criticizing Nintendo for removing their online courses without warning or explanation. Patrick Klepek of wrote that 'Ultimately, the lack of communication is what’s frustrating. If Nintendo wants to have strict policies, that’s fine, but let creators know what they’re dealing with, so they can work around it.'

Power-up use is integral to the series. The series has had installments featuring both two and three-dimensional gameplay. In the games, the (usually Mario) jumps on platforms and enemies while avoiding their attacks and moving to the right of the scrolling screen. 2D Super Mario game levels have single-exit objectives, which must be reached within a time limit and lead to the next sequential level. Introduced the, a map of nonlinear levels that branches according to the player's choice. Introduced levels with multiple exits. 3D installments in the series have had two subgenres: exploration based games and more linear 3D games with a predetermined path.

Levels in the open world games,, and, allow the player to freely explore multiple enclosed environments in 360 degree movement. As the game progresses, more environments become accessible. The linear 3D games, whose titles include either 'Galaxy' or '3D', feature more fixed camera angles and a predetermined path to a single goal. Items [ ] Most items in the Super Mario series appear from item blocks, which originated in and persist throughout the series, where Mario hits a block to receive either coins or power-ups. Mushrooms [ ]. Described the Super Mushroom as 'the power-up'.

Mushroom appear in almost every Super Mario game. The most iconic of these is the Super. The Super Mushroom increases Mario's size, turning him into 'Super Mario', and allows him to break certain blocks.

When hit by an enemy, Mario reverts to his smaller size instead of losing a life. When Mario is in his 'Super' form, most blocks that would contain a Super Mushroom instead offer a more powerful power-up such as the Fire Flower. The Super Mushroom is similar in appearance to the, with an ivory stalk below a most commonly red and white (originally red and orange) spotted cap. Created by chance, stated in an interview that beta tests of Super Mario Bros. Proved Mario too tall, so the development team implemented mushrooms to grow and shrink Mario. The Poison Mushroom, first introduced in the Japanese, is a dark blue-capped mushroom that has the same effect as getting hit by an enemy or spike when touched. In later games, the Poison Mushroom looks almost exactly like the Super Mushroom with a red cap, but has a meaner-looking face.

The Mini Mushroom is a small blue mushroom, a recurring item in the New Super Mario Bros. Series, which shrinks Mario into miniature size, allowing him access areas and pipes that Mario normally cannot reach. Mini Mario also jumps higher, floats midair, bounces off enemies without hurting them except by ground pounding, and can run across the surface of water and then jump from it as if he was on land. Mario is more vulnerable in this form and loses a life upon receiving one hit in miniature form. The Mini Mushroom in lets Mario run up walls.

The Mega Mushroom, introduced in and further appearing in and, is a more recent addition to the series that grows Mario into a towering, invulnerable giant who destroys enemies and the environment by running through them. It has an orange-yellow cap with red spots, like the Super Mario Bros. Super Mushroom, but with an inflated cap. Features an item simply called 'Mushroom' that grants the same abilities as the Mega Mushroom.

In the Super Mario Galaxy franchise, the Bee Mushroom gives Mario the Bee Suit, and the Spring Mushroom puts Mario inside a metallic coil. The Mystery Mushroom in Super Mario Maker provides a 'costume' based on one of many characters in addition to the abilities of the Super Mushroom. 1-Ups [ ] is a common item shown as a green and white mushroom, its appearance similar to the Super Mushroom's, which gives Mario an.

They were introduced in Super Mario Bros., sometimes hidden in invisible item blocks, and typically displayed as orange caps with green spots. In the 3D games, 1-Ups will sometimes appear when walking in particular areas. 1-Ups can take other forms, such as the 3-Up Moon from Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. Projectile flowers [ ] The flower power-ups let Mario shoot projectiles.

The Fire Flower, introduced in Super Mario Bros., transforms Mario into Fire Mario, who can throw bouncing fireballs at enemies. Was the first 3D Mario platformer game to have the Fire Flower. In Super Mario Land, the Superball is a obtained from a Super Flower, which Mario can use to defeat enemies and collect coins. The Ice Flower transforms Mario into Ice Mario, where he can shoot balls of ice as projectiles similar to that of the Fire Flower; it freezes enemies in a block of ice, to be used as platforms or as thrown projectiles.

In Super Mario Galaxy, this item turns Mario into ice and lets him walk on lava or water for a limited time by freezing the surface. In and, it instead allows Mario to throw ice projectiles that freeze enemies inside an ice cube, rendering them immobile. Mario then has the option of picking up this resulting ice cube, for use as a projectile. Lastly, 's Gold Flower lets Mario turn bricks into coins and earn bonus coins for defeating enemies. Invincibility [ ] Invincibility is an effect first appearing in the three Super Mario Bros.

Games, where it is granted by a 'Starman', an anthropomorphized, flashing star. The star has also been named the 'Super Star' in the two Super Mario World games and the 'Rainbow Star' in the two Super Mario Galaxy games.

Picking up the star makes Mario temporarily, able to resist any harm. Use of the item is accompanied by a distinctive music track that appears consistently across most of the games. The player character flickers a variety of colors — and in some titles, moves with increased speed and enhanced jumping ability — while under the Star's influence. While invincible, Mario kills any enemy upon contact with it.

In, the star gives the normally immobile baby Mario the ability to run as well as become invincible. In Super Mario 64, invincibility is provided when Mario wears the metal cap or the vanish cap.

The Mega Mushroom provides invincibility with the addition of giant size and environment destruction (see ). Power Stars and course tokens [ ] The games often feature found in levels in order to progress in the overworld, most frequently with the visual motif of a star.

They are typically situated in locations that are not readily found or reached, or awarded for completing stunts, or objectives given. They include the Power Stars in and the Super Mario Galaxy games, Shine Sprites in Super Mario Sunshine, Star Coins in the New Super Mario Bros. Games and Super Mario 3D Land, Green Stars in the Galaxy games and Super Mario 3D World, and Power Moons in Super Mario Odyssey. In Super Mario Land 2, there are six Golden Coin tokens that must be collected to finish the game. Flying [ ] Flight is a common theme throughout the series, first enabled with the item in the international Super Mario Bros. The Super Leaf and Tanooki Suit items, first appearing in provide Mario with an animal-suited tail, which in turn acts as a flight propeller.

The Tanooki Suit returns in, and the Super Leaf returns in. In the games, the Spin Block and the Propeller Mushroom let Mario spin up into the air and slowly descend. In, Mario pilots a yellow airplane with unlimited ammunition called the Sky Pop. Introduces various forms of flight: the feather item provides a cape, the P Balloon puffs Mario into a floating balloon figure, and Yoshi can carry a blue Koopa shell which gives him wings.

In, flight is granted by a Winged Cap. In, Mario has limited flight and gliding capabilities in a Flying Squirrel suit and can also command a pink Baby Yoshi to puff up into the form of a floating balloon. In, Mario can obtain a special red star that transforms him into Flying Mario for a limited time. 's cloud can be commandeered in several of the side-scrolling games. Power-up suits [ ] Several suits work as power-ups, many of which are based on animals.

Debuting in Super Mario Bros. 3, the Raccoon Suit (provisioned by a Super Leaf) and the Tanooki Suit each provide Mario with a tail which acts as a flight propeller.

In addition, the Tanooki Suit lets Mario spontaneously change into an invincible statue for about five seconds. In Super Mario 3D Land, the Raccoon Suit reappears and is accompanied by a silver-colored variation called a Statue Leaf. Super Mario Bros.

3 includes a suit, which allows Mario to throw hammers as projectiles, to defeat enemies at a distance, taking what the Hammer Bros does to Mario and turning it around. While wearing the suit and ducking, Mario is invulnerable to fire attacks. The Hammer Suit was so powerful that in later games, it was downgraded. Super Mario 3D Land features a 'Boomerang Suit' which provisions long-distance boomerang projectiles. Other animal suits include the Frog Suit, Tanooki Suit, Penguin Suit, Cat Suit and Bee Suit. Coins [ ] Super Mario level design traditionally incorporates many distributed coins as puzzles and rewards. Most Super Mario games award the player an extra life once a certain amount of yellow coins are collected, commonly 50 or 100.

Several coin variants exist, such as silver coins, dragon coins, star coins, and more. In,,, and, coins replenish health (and air, when Mario is underwater). In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, collecting 100 coins in a level results in a Power Star or Shine Sprite respectively.

There are also stages in that game reward a Power Star for collecting eight red coins in a level, worth two normal coins each. In Super Mario 64, a blue coin is worth five normal coins. In Super Mario Sunshine, blue coins act as a side quest when brought to the Delfino Bank. In Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, after finishing each game once, stages unlock where Mario can collect a certain amount of purple coins to earn a Power Star.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, they can also be used to feed some hungry 'Luma' characters that can turn into either an item or another planet. Warp Pipes and Warp Cannons [ ]. See also: The Warp Pipe is a common method of transportation used in many of the Mario series games.

Warp Pipes are most often green but also appear in other colors (early games included silver pipes, newer games have introduced red, green, blue and yellow pipes), and have many uses in the series. Warp Pipes can also contain enemies, usually, and sometimes launch the player into the air (most commonly seen in ). In early Mario games such as, special, well-hidden areas known as contain pipes that allow players to skip several worlds (handfuls of levels) at once.

In the New Super Mario Bros. Series, pipe-shaped Warp Cannons work similarly to the Warp Zones of the earlier games and are unlocked by finding secret exits in levels. Appear in most of the 3D games in the series starting with. Mario uses the cannon by jumping into the barrel, aiming himself and being fired at a distant target. This allows Mario to progress through a level or reach an otherwise inaccessible area. Yoshi [ ] Mario's dinosaur friend has appeared as a mount to the player character in several Super Mario games since. In the sequel, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, a tribe of Yoshi had found Mario and helped him to save Baby Luigi.

In this game and Super Mario 64 DS, instead of the player merely riding on Yoshi's back, Yoshi is the player character. Yoshis generally have abilities including eating enemies, flying, and breathing fire. Miyamoto had originally wished for Mario to be able to ride a dinosaur in Super Mario Bros., but this wasn't possible due to the technical restraints of the system. Settings [ ] • The ( キノコ王国, Kinoko Ōkoku) is the primary Super Mario series setting, having been introduced in Super Mario Bros.

The species in Sarasaland are range from monsters to aliens to gigantic, as well as enemies similar to enemies from other games in the series. The kingdoms that make up Sarasaland include Birabuto (an -like kingdom), Muda (an ocean kingdom), Easton (an -like kingdom), and Chai (an Ancient -like kingdom). • introduced Dinosaur Land, a separate continent where Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool vacation after the events of Super Mario Bros.

The worlds in the game are reached by jumping into paintings, which are portals to imaginary worlds created by Bowser. As such, the game is largely not set in the Mushroom Kingdom. However, Peach's Castle itself is located in the Mushroom Kingdom and specifically Toad Town as seen since Paper Mario.

This was also shown to be the case in more recent games like and its sequel. • introduced Isle Delfino, a tropical island somewhere outside the Mushroom Kingdom.

It contains several harbors, beaches, hotels, parks, and villages. Instead of Toads or humans, most of the residents on Isle Delfino are tropical creatures called Nokis and Piantas. Its main village Delfino Plaza serves as the central hub world in Super Mario Sunshine. Different areas of the island can be accessed through portals created by spray paint in different parts of the plaza.

Besides Delfino Plaza, the different locations of Delfino Island are Delfino Airstrip, Bianco Hills, Ricco Harbor, Gelato Beach, Pinna Park, Sirena Beach, Noki Bay, Pianta Village, and Corona Mountain. While Isle Delfino has only appeared in one game in the Super Mario series, it has been commonly used in Mario spin-off games, including the. • and are set in outer space and contain various galaxies. • takes place in the Sprixie Kingdom, where the Sprixies live.
