Super Mario Maker

Takashi Tezuka, Yosuke Oshino, Koji Kondo, and Nintendo EAD's infinitely joyful, revolutionary, and tool-democratizing 2D platformer level-creation sandbox masterpiece across Wii U and Nintendo 3DS (Super Mario Maker), released in September 2015 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original *Super Mario Bros.* franchise, nominated for Game of the Year and winning Best Family Game at The Game Awards (TGA 2015) while holding an 89% GameRankings and 88/100 on Metacritic and selling over 4 million copies (and generating over 7 million player-created levels within months), standing as the absolute finest, most intuitive utilization of the dual-screen Wii U GamePad touchscreen stylus in gaming history ahead of *Super Mario Maker 2*, opening the legendary 30-year design vaults of Nintendo to global players, single-handedly pioneering the brilliant "Drag-and-Drop Course Editing & Real-Time Playtesting" engine (swapping seamlessly between four iconic Mario eras: *Super Mario Bros.*, *Super Mario Bros. 3*, *Super Mario World*, and *New Super Mario Bros. U* at the tap of a button), shaking enemies to create new variants (flying winged Bowsers, giant Goombas), the global Course World network with the grueling 100-Mario Challenge, Mystery Mushroom Amiibo costumes, and Koji Kondo's dynamic, interactive musical editing sound effects.
