Super Mario Maker update details, unused costume references spotted
Posted on September 26, 2015 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U
On Wednesday, Nintendo pushed out a new Super Mario Maker update. The patch brought the game up to version 1.10. The small increase suggested that nothing major was introduced, and that was backed up by a single patch note from Nintendo: “Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.” So what was behind the new update?
Random Talking Bush, who is known for digging up information from game files, has passed along information that the Super Mario Bros. 3 goal star sprite is now fixed. A notice was also introduced saying that courses made by the Big N cannot be reported, and additional Nintendo-made course support was added. The only other files that have been touched are related to menus.
So the ONLY thing changed sprite-wise in Super Mario Maker v1.10 was fixing the sprite for the SMB3 goal star. pic.twitter.com/BZRN6GZg3O

(Cont'd) The entire sprite file was repacked just for that, and they did *not* fix SMW Mario's missing foot on his dash-jump sprite… ?_?

"This course was uploaded by Nintendo, so it cannot be reported" was added to SMM v1.10, along with additional Nintendo-made course support.

.@RandomTBush That's the gist of the Super Mario Maker v1.10 update's purpose. The rest of the updated files are all related to the menus.

One important note about the update: it’s not clear whether or not Nintendo has patched the invincibility glitch. I’ve seen people saying that it no longer works, while others claim that it does. I’m a bit surprised how difficult it’s been to get a straight answer on this front! If you haven’t seen the glitch before, take a look at the video below.
Finally, in related news, it appears that Super Mario Maker’s previous version (1.01) had references to a number of unused costumes. These include Baby Mario, Professor E. Gadd, Nabbit, and Tetris. Apparently there was a reference for the Windows logo. All of these names, which were included in the “CharaMarioTable”, were removed in Super Mario Maker version 1.10.
.@RandomTBush There's also BabyMario, EGadd, GoldenRetri, Mashiko, Muncher, Nabbit, Tetris and …WindowsLogo? What?!?

.@RandomTBush He's definitely not lying about it either, I just checked for myself and they are indeed in the "CharaMarioTable" file.
