Famitsu is reporting that over 3.2 million courses have been created in Super Mario Maker. About a month ago, that number was at 2.2 million units.

Famitsu also has news about its collaboration content in Super Mario Maker. In order to obtain Nekki – the magazine’s mascot – as a costume for Mario, players will need to clear a level designed by the editorial team.

Some of you may be aware that Famitsu reviews are often published by four different editors. The magazine decided to settle on the level that will be made available to players in Super Mario Maker by reversing things a bit. Four Nintendo representatives were put in charge of judging and ultimately determining the level that will be distributed. The lineup includes producer Takasahi Tezuka, director Yosuke Oshino, senior director Yoshikazu Yamashita, and Yamamura from Nintendo News.
