The folks over at GameXplain found an invincibility glitch in Super Mario Maker. For the glitch to activate, you need to place a door on a set of spikes while ensuring that Mario has a second-tier powerup (Fire Flower, Propeller Hat etc.). You need to step on the spikes and enter the door during the period when Mario is invulnerable after taking damage. When you emerge from the other door, Mario can’t be damaged in any way. Check out the video below which demonstrates the glitch in greater detail:
The black standard-sized New Nintendo 3DS will be available in Australia and New Zealand from October 17th.
It was revealed during Tokyo Game Show that Fiora from Xenoblade Chronciles and Chrom & Lucina from Fire Emblem Awakening would join the cast of Project X Zone 2. Bandai Namco have now published an English subtitled version of the announcement trailer. The game footage itself is still in Japanese. Check it out below:
Project X Zone 2 will be released in the West in February 2016.
