Super Mario Maker was released in Japan today and it has already received its first update. Patch 1.01, for which you’ll need 201 MB of free space, comes with these changes:

• “Create a course” scene: a small element was added
• Condition(s) for increasing the amount of useable parts (in the level editor) were added
• Various changes meant to improve the gameplay experience

It seems likely that this patch will also be applied to European and US versions of the game once they release tomorrow.
