Super Mario Maker’s latest costume is now available. After completing the new Event Course, players can obtain Statue Mario.

Here’s an overview of the level, which is titled “Secrets of Statue Mario”:

“From Super Mario Bros. 3, Statue Mario finally makes his Super Mario Maker debut! But there’s no Tanooki Suit in this game, and he can’t move on his own, so… I guess we’ll just have to carry him. He’s heavier than he looks, you know!

Can you carry him all the way to the goal”?

This information comes from a Nintendo representative…

“Motion controls cannot be entirely disabled in Star Fox Zero, although players will have some options to choose how they are implemented. The game was designed to be played with motion controls, and it would be incredibly difficult to complete certain areas of the game without the independent aiming and flight that they offer.”

“Malo” is still tweeting away on the Japanese Zelda Twitter page about Twilight Princess. Today, he talks a bit about fishing… and shares probably the funniest message yet!

Here’s our translation:

“…It’s Malo. Sometimes you’d better take a breather… Tips for fishing well? Ah right… don’t get distracted by the woman behind you. For some reason all adult males are unable to do that though…”
