Super Mario Maker wasn’t intentionally planned for Mario’s 30th anniversary

Super Mario Maker wasn’t specifically created for the series’ 30th anniversary. That’s according to Yosuke Oshino, who says that the way things lined up was “just a coincidence.”
Oshino recently said:
“This being Mario’s 30th Anniversary is just a coincidence, it’s not something we consciously planned. The idea started with the course editor for the side scrolling Mario games. This tool was previously running on PC, but the team in charge of it thought that it might be helpful for developing future Mario games if the tool ran on the Wii U GamePad and so they started doing some experiments. While doing this they realized how easy it was to make courses and how fun it was for people like them who had no experience with level design. So they decided to bring the idea of making this tool into a game to the producer, Tezuka-san.”
Even if it wasn’t intentionally planned, Super Mario Maker definitely makes the anniversary a little extra special!
