User Created Mario Stages Are A Possibility

In an interview with GamesTM magazine, Masataka Takemoto, the director of New Super Mario Bros. U was asked about the possibility of user created Mario stages.

He had this to say:

		I think the Coin Edit feature in Coin Battle is a step closer to that. There is a possibility of this happening in the future, but there’s no use just blindly making that feature available. We would need to carefully think about how to make such a system work. The important thing is that it has to be something that is uniquely Nintendo. Where a beginner can easily make something and have a good time, and simultaneously, someone who is really into Mario can delve into it deeper and make something more complex. So that is a challenge we will need to tackle in the future.

Currently Coin Battle Mode is the closest players can get to creating a level, allowing users to play coins within levels. A level editor would be perfect for New Super Mario Bros. U, giving players even more play-time out of their favorite game.

Being able to share levels and compete for the communities favorites would add something more to the game.

That's a great idea, not sure why they haven't done this yet...but that would definitely be dope...

Yeah...not too excited for that unless they can do it right.

Remeber the "create your own stage" in super smash bros brawl? we was all excited fer that.

that !! sucked. [pic]

Mario games are well known for their level design...this could really go either way, hope it turns out good.

Eh, it's already been done.

Little Big Planet >>>>

They haven't done it cuz if they do it right there would probably be no reason to buy a sequel

my post was regarding the level design... Little Big Planet has already done it... so if we're to say Sony copies !! from Nintendo, then what the !! is Nintendo doing here? LBP is a platformer like Mario, but also allows users to create their own levels. Mario has never done that before... so if 'copying' proven methods is stealing, then its fair to say Nintendo is jocking a Sony exclusive here...

although, I do think LBP >>>> Mario in general

lbp is a !!ty platformer tried getting into it but couldn't shoddy platforming mechanics slow and floaty

to each his own...

it felt off at first to me also but that's just cause not a lot of platformers use that floaty mechanic, but once you're used to it, playing it becomes as easy as playing any Mario game... and its more fun too and a lot more creativity goes into each level...

you can already create your own mario stages off the internet. these nintendo niccas is late as !!.

ok, yeah i agree now that you've explained it [pic] Mario doesn't allow you to make whole new games within it.


so true.
