Nintendo has released details on the next free Super Mario Maker update that goes live on December 21st.
The update adds in never before seen items, as well as a new Bookmark Web portal that lets players search for courses on their PCs, tablets, and smartphones. The Bookmark Web portal is access using a players Nintendo Network ID.
"Players have already created and shared a huge number of courses, and now it will be easier and more fun than ever for players to create and find levels they will love to play," said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "Combining classic Mario game play with the creative fun of making and sharing levels, Super Mario Maker is a perfect experience for the holidays."
New features coming to the game include:
-
Fire Koopa Clown Car: This volcanic vessel is capable of shooting fireballs as well as a powerful charged shot that can even destroy Blocks. It’s perfect for creating shoot-’em-up-style courses.
-
P Warp Doors: Unlike regular Warp Doors, these are only visible while a P Switch is active – perfect for creating truly devious Ghost House courses.
-
Bumper: This bouncy donut-shaped object sends Mario bounding away when touched.
-
World Records: Now pages will display the World Record for each course uploaded, displaying the fastest clear time.
-
Super Mario Maker Bookmark: Levels that players have bookmarked to play later using the Web portal will be accessible from the Course World tab.

That bookmark feature will be a lifesaver.
Great update! I like the Fire Clown Car
I wish there a option where you can watch someone complete your lvl,so that you can learn if there are shortcuts in your lvls
Man there's a subculture out there that is likely salivating at the new world record feature. I just like watching them play lol
Still waiting to be able to link levels so I can make an entire game instead of random, disconnected levels.
