Super Mario-kun, a manga series from CoroCoro Comic, has been seeing publication since 1991. It’s now been revealed that Super Mario Maker will be adding a costume based on the series.

In Japan, Super Mario-kun author Yukio Sawada will be coming out with a Super Mario Maker course on November 6. It’s unclear when exactly the costume is joining the game.

Super Mario-Kun is the third new costume coming to Super Mario Maker. Last month, we heard about plans to add in Famitsu mascot Nekki. It was also announced a couple of weeks ago that GameCenter CX’s Shinya Arino will be receiving his own costume.

To be perfectly honest, I’ve never fully played through a Yoshi game. I’ve always wanted to, but I just never really got around to it. Sure, the cutesy visual style of the Yoshi titles should appeal to someone like myself, but because of the seemingly simplistic gameplay, the series was never quite at the top of my list. With Yoshi’s Woolly World, however, Nintendo brought the cuteness the series is known for to a whole new level, finally pulling me in enough to try one of these games out to the fullest. Having played through what most of Yoshi’s Woolly World has to offer, I can now say that calling this game adorable is an understatement.

Update: Other Wii download listings on the server include The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Super Paper Mario, Metroid: Other M, Wario Land: Shake It, and Mario Strikers Charged.

Yesterday we made mention of a listing found within Nintendo’s servers for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. It was unclear at the time just how valid that speculation was, but additional evidence has emerged to support the original rumors. Just to be clear, the official description in Nintendo’s database is “The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD” – note the “HD” on the end. But naturally we don’t know what will come from that listing at this time.

Another item found within the same server is for Super Mario Galaxy. Unlike Twilight Princess, this does lacks the “HD” term at the end. It’s listed twice – once for Japan, and again for Europe. Super Mario Galaxy is already out on the Japanese Wii U eShop, but today’s findings could be a sign of an upcoming European release.

Note that even though these listings were absolutely uncovered on Nintendo’s servers, we’re still marking these posts as rumors. It’s always best to maintain some skepticism without an official confirmation!

By pre-ordering Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations at GameStop on Wii U, you’ll receive the bonus chapter “Artifact Checking”. GameStop’s 3DS bonus is for the Sword of the Dead. Meanwhile, you can reserve any version on Amazon for $5 digital downloads credit.

Gamestop Exclusive Bonus Offer – All Gamestop pre-orders for the PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii U will receive a code to download an exclusive sixth chapter of the game at launch for free! The Artifact Checking bonus chapter will only be available to Gamestop customers and will allow gamers to play as Marceline, the Vampire Queen, a playable character exclusive to this pre-order! Just like the five main chapters in Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations, Artifact Checking plays out like an episode of the show. In it, Finn and Jake discover that Marceline is having a yard sale and is selling off all the magical artifacts hidden in Billy’s Cave! What the stuff?! While Finn and Jake set off to track down Billy’s sword, Marceline must find and retrieve all of the dangerous artifacts she has sold and restore peace and order to the Land of Ooo.

Gamestop Exclusive Bonus Offer for Nintendo 3DS – Every Gamestop 3DS pre-order will receive an exclusive code to unlock the powerfully-awesome Sword of the Dead at launch! Striking an enemy with this sword temporarily turns that baddie into a ghost warrior homie that fights alongside Finn and Jake for short period of time. When the ghostly form wears off that enemy is defeated. The Sword of the Dead is one of five magical swords in the game, and once these blades are in a player’s inventory they can be swapped on the fly. When it’s “Ability Time” each sword wields a unique power. Schmowza!!
