Super Mario Maker has added two new costumes. Players can nab both Callie and Marie from Super Mario Maker after completing the “Squid Sisters vs. Bloopers” Event Course twice.

Here’s an overview of the level:

“Urgent report from the Squid Research Lab! The Squid Sisters have been spotted in the world of Super Mario Maker, and the local squids don’t seem to be giving them a very warm welcome! It’s up to Callie and Marie to show those Blooper bullies that the new squids on the block aren’t about to be messed with. May the freshest squid win!”

And here’s some footage:

Splatoon received a new update earlier this week. Perhaps as an unforeseen side effect, a significant glitch has been spotted by the community.

The glitch in question involves players becoming invisible, and they appear to be ascending to heaven on the kill cam. It happens after superjumping right before you hit water or an area out of bounds. You’ll be invisible to teammates as well as enemies starting with the superjump enemies, and your squid icon will be off the GamePad to teammates.

As for the kill cam, it’s shown in a certain way because you’re stuck in superjump animation to everyone else. Shots don’t do damage, but reports say that bombs are effective.

This video shows how chaotic things can become when both teams become invisible:

Later this month, Splatoon will be holding its very final Splatfest. The news prompted some players to be concerned about the future of the shooter’s online gameplay in general. Thankfully, there’s nothing to fear. Nintendo told Kotaku that Splatoon’s “general online experience and service will continue.”

The last Splatfest will be held around the world beginning on July 22 for a full two days. Players are being asked to choose between the two Squid Sisters: Callie or Marie.
