Earlier today, Nintendo announced Mr. Saturn and Master Belch costumes for Super Mario Maker. Both of these are now available and can be unlocked once two new Event Courses are completed.

Below are overviews of the levels:

Welcome to Saturn Valley

“This is Saturn Valley. The Mr. Saturns live happily here, along with many unusual creations. Try searching for the Mr. Saturns hiding over the place – in houses, caves, and more! If you reach the goal as Mr. Saturn, you’ll have good luck all day long! … Probably.”

Belch Base

“Nobody can stop you when you’re the great Master Belch! Use your slime powers to assert dominance over, er… your own base.

By the way, you have precisely 4 chances to transform into the great Master Belch. If you find them all, you’ll be filled with an overwhelming sense of satisfaction! Probably.”

Next week, Nintendo will be bringing out several new features for Super Mario Maker. We’ll be seeing some new game elements as well as the Bookmark portal site.

Below are the full patch notes for Super Mario Maker’s latest update, version 1.30:

• Add objects such as Fire Koopa Clown Car.
• Add linkage with the Super Mario Maker Bookmark portal site that will allow a more detailed course search.
• Users will no longer be able to use the words “Like”, “Yeah!”, and the “?” symbol in their course names. Please change the course name when saving a course that includes these words.
• “World Record (fastest player to clear the course)” and the “First Clear (first player to clear the course)” will be listed for each course.
• For courses that were posted prior to the Ver. 1.30 update, only the “World Record (fastest player to clear the course)” will displayed.
• Adjustments will be made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.

Super Mario Maker will require 298MB of free space for its 1.3.0 update.

Nintendo has added in yet another Event Course and costume in Super Mario Maker. Players can begin taking on the “Nintendo Badge Arcade” level, which nets them an arcade bunny costume once finished.

Here’s a trailer for the costume:

And the Nintendo Badge Arcade course description:

“Hey there! Welcome to the Nintendo Badge Arcade! It’s the place to be if you want to play crane games and catch badges you can use to jazz up your HOME Menu.

…HUH?! The arcade got turned into a Mario course?! Ooh. I hope the boss approved this, or I’m gonna be in big trouble!”
