Next week, Nintendo will be bringing out several new features for Super Mario Maker. We’ll be seeing some new game elements as well as the Bookmark portal site.
Below are the full patch notes for Super Mario Maker’s latest update, version 1.30:
- Add objects such as Fire Koopa Clown Car.
- Add linkage with the Super Mario Maker Bookmark portal site that will allow a more detailed course search.
- Users will no longer be able to use the words “Like”, “Yeah!”, and the “?” symbol in their course names. Please change the course name when saving a course that includes these words.
- “World Record (fastest player to clear the course)” and the “First Clear (first player to clear the course)” will be listed for each course.
- For courses that were posted prior to the Ver. 1.30 update, only the “World Record (fastest player to clear the course)” will displayed.
- Adjustments will be made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.
Super Mario Maker will require 298MB of free space for its 1.3.0 update.
