Since Super Mario Maker came out last year, some players have been affected by levels that have been removed by Nintendo or courses that have just disappeared for seemingly inexplicable reasons. The company’s support page now has new guidelines covering deletions. Admittely though, they won’t help all users determine why their creations were taken down.
