Super Mario Maker has just added three more significant costumes. Players can get their hands on Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.

Here’s a look at each one in action:

You can nab the Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle by completing the new “I Choose You!” Event Course. However, it needs to be completing three times to unlock each one.

Here’s an overview of the stage:

“This course is based on the beginning of any Pokemon trainer’s journey – from choosing your first partner in Professor Oak’s lab through reaching the first Gym. Clear the course to unlock a costume of whichever Pokemon you choose! Unlike the original games, it shouldn’t be too hard to clear it multiple times and catch ’em all!”

This Splatfest will be going live on February 19 at 10 PM PT / February 20 at 1 AM ET. It’ll last for a full day, with the results following soon after.
