We have an image of another amiibo costume included in Super Mario Maker. Above, you can get a first look at the silver Mario outfit (which may also feature the Super Mario 64 finishing jingle if a Miiverse post is to be believed). The gold Mario figure works as well, but we don’t have any screenshots of it just yet.
Thanks to Anthony for the tip.

Splatoon – Rainmaker now live in the Ranked Battle playlist
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Splatoon has now added a new mode: Rainmaker. This can be played in the Ranked Battle playlist alongside Splat Zones and Tower Control.
As a reminder, here’s what Rainmaker is all about:
In Rainmaker, both teams compete to snag the, uhhh, Rainmaker. Once you’ve got it, the goal is to carry it into the other team’s base!
How’s it work, you ask? As soon as the battle begins, grab onto that Rainmaker! It’s guarded by a shield, though, so you’ll need to bust it out first. Once you snag it, head for the other team’s base. And be quick about it!
If you run out of time or get splatted, the Rainmaker will be dropped and its shield will also reactivate. The Rainmaker is crazy heavy, so you can’t Super Jump while carrying it. Hopefully your teammates will watch your back!
But don’t think the Rainmaker is just some shiny object – it can shoot ink like an Inkzooka. You can even hold to charge the Rainmaker up for an extra-powerful shot! The closer you get to the enemy base while holding the Rainmaker, the lower your goal distance will drop. If you retreat too far while holding the Rainmaker, it’ll explode sooner! If the battle ends without anyone carrying the Rainmaker to the goal, the team with the lowest goal distance will win.
