Super Mario Maker should be receiving another new costume very soon. Some players managed to get their hands on Mashiko, but the outfit is no longer available. It seems that new Event Courses for Mashiko and Wolf Link went live very briefly several hours ago.

Mashiko, otherwise known as Mary O, is Super Mario Maker’s manual guide.

We’ll let you know when Mashiko and her new Event Course are officially made available.

Thanks to jikes10 for the tip.
