Mercedes-Benz has created an original Super Mario Maker level that comes with a special costume for free, Nintendo has revealed.
The course is called Mercedes-Benz Jump’n’Drive and it takes the player through an automotive-related area. The Mercedes-Benz GLA costume puts the player in the driver seat.
"Super Mario Maker continues to grow and evolve with new courses and content," said Nintendo of America’s Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Scott Moffitt. "It’s great that a luxury car brand like Mercedes-Benz recognizes the ability to create fun courses and share them with others."
Vice President of Marketing at Mercedes-Benz cars, Dr. Jens Thiemer, added: "We are delighted to once again be represented in a blockbuster game like Super Mario Maker. Mercedes-Benz and Super Mario have a lot in common. Above all, they share the same vision: to inspire their customers and fans."
This is the second time Mercedes-Benz has teamed up with Nintendo. The first was with the release of the GLA and other free vehicles for Mario Kart 8.
