One of the more publicized glitches in Super Mario Maker involved invisible platforms. This was addressed in an update last month, though levels that took advantage of it remained online.
Reports are now surfacing that these types of courses are now being removed. Nintendo hasn’t confirmed this officially, but that’s the word going around based on various user reports. One bright spot: all stars earned with the deleted levels have remained with their creators.

New Nintendo patent: Supplemental Computing Devices For Game Consoles (cloud gaming)
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 19 Comments
Last June, Nintendo filed a trademark in the United States database for “Supplemental Computing Devices For Game Consoles”. It’s essentially about increasing the speed or quality of the gaming experience – mainly in a cloud gaming context.
Here’s the patent’s abstract:
“Supplemental computing devices that provide processing and/or storage resources to game consoles to assist these game consoles in executing a game. In some instances, a game console locally executes a copy of a game using resources of the game console. In addition, however, the game console may couple to a supplemental computing device that includes resources that the game console may also utilize to increase the speed or quality of a user’s gaming experience. For instance, the supplemental computing device may couple via a physical connection (e.g., a wired connection) to the game console for processing data associated with the game and providing a result back to the console, and/or for storing game data on behalf of the game console.”
If you’d like to read up on more details regarding the patent, you should definitely head on over to this link. It’s interesting, but we’ll have to wait and see what (if anything) comes from this.
