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.
