Earlier today, Nintendo announced Mr. Saturn and Master Belch costumes for Super Mario Maker. Both of these are now available and can be unlocked once two new Event Courses are completed.

Below are overviews of the levels:

Welcome to Saturn Valley

“This is Saturn Valley. The Mr. Saturns live happily here, along with many unusual creations. Try searching for the Mr. Saturns hiding over the place – in houses, caves, and more! If you reach the goal as Mr. Saturn, you’ll have good luck all day long! … Probably.”

Belch Base

“Nobody can stop you when you’re the great Master Belch! Use your slime powers to assert dominance over, er… your own base.
By the way, you have precisely 4 chances to transform into the great Master Belch. If you find them all, you’ll be filled with an overwhelming sense of satisfaction! Probably.”
