Following yesterday’s leak, the Mashiko / Mary O costume and Event Course are now available in Super Mario Maker. After completing the “Mary O.’s Lunch Break” level, the new outfit will be yours.

Here’s an overview of the Event Course:

“Mary O., the friendly guide from the Super Mario Maker manual, finally makes her in-game debut!

‘It’s my lunch break, so I’m heading out for a quick bite to eat. Out of the office, across the street, up some… vines?! Maybe this won’t be so quick after all…'”

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.
