‘I fear there may be a new breed of ghost lurking somewhere in this old mansion! Hurry and investigate! You’ll have to wait for yourself what haunted secrets await!'”

And a look at the level as well as the new outfit:

Super Mario Maker’s online functions were taken down for “emergency maintenance” earlier this week. Nintendo didn’t say what was happening, aside from how they would be addressing a bug that occurs in “Create” mode. So what exactly was this all about?

Kotaku has a more in-depth explanation, but below are some excerpts from the site’s report:

“Joseph discovered a video where another player claimed their level had been hacked, as someone else had managed to achieve a world record on a puzzle level in less than three seconds.

Joseph realized the “hacker” had access to items that weren’t in the original level. In Mario Maker, it’s possible to download other people’s levels and edit them, but that’s not what was happening here. The “hacker” was playing the level on the server, which is why their world record times were being recorded.

Today’s patch simply addresses a glitch while in “Create” mode. It’s a 298MB download, in case you’re curious.
