Super Mario Maker’s latest costume and Event Course have gone live. After finishing “Barbara in Tomatoland”, you’ll receive the Barbara the Bat outfit.

“Hello, my dears! I’m Barbara the Bat. …What are those blank looks for? Don’t you know who I am?! I’m the star of a little series called Jam with the Band. It’s quite big in Japan! You should all be thankful for this precious opportunity to join the ranks of my minions!”

And here’s a full playthrough of the Event Course:

A few Zelda Wii U Easter eggs have been spotted in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. In Chudley’s Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium, pieces of art from the upcoming game can be found. It’s nothing mindblowing, but it’s still pretty neat!

iSpot has the North American commercial for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. As usual, we’ve attached the video below.

The Japanese Zelda Twitter account continues its tweets about Twilight Princess HD with a new message from Malo. Today, the topic is the Gale Boomerang.

Here’s our translation:

“…It’s Malo. A boomerang that generates a tornado the same time it’s thrown, huh… It can pull items and spin windmills, so it’s handy indeed. …Hey, don’t use it inside the shop, okay? If you break my goods you’ll have to compensate for it in double.”
