Super Mario Maker lets you create your own sound effects

Today’s Super Mario Maker revealed a brand new element of the game: sound customization.

Players can eventually unlock the sound effect frog, which lets them drag sound effects into the editor. It’s also possible to create entirely new sound effects. A demonstration in the video seemed to show the player talking into the Wii U GamePad, and then using their voice in-game.

Here’s the news about Super Mario Maker’s sound effect options straight from Nintendo:

New sound effects and music block customisation – You can create your own sound effects in Super Mario Maker, with some sounds even generating fun visuals! And by shaking a classic Note Block during level creation, it becomes a Music Block. When something activates one of these Music Blocks, it will play a note based on its height, allowing players to arrange songs of all types.
