The Super Mario Maker “hackathon” event at Facebook concluded earlier today. The winning level? “Ship Love”.

This level will be available as a free download for Super Mario Maker players when the game launches on September 11. We don’t have a great look at the course yet, but an off-screen image was posted by Nintendo’s Kit Ellis on Twitter – see above.

The Japanese Super Mario Maker website contains a few additional details about the game.

First, when it comes to Super Mario Maker’s download, the file size will be 1.4 GB. Save files are 80 MB, and you can have one for each Wii U user.

Super Mario Maker will be compatible with a whole bunch of controllers. In addition to the GamePad, players can use the Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Remote, and Classic Controller.

One last interesting tidbit: it’s possible to save up to 120 courses in Super Mario Maker.

Nintendo has two Super Mario Maker Wii U bundles planned for Japan. They’re essentially the same, but one comes with one of the 8-bit Super Mario amiibo.

Nintendo opened the official Japanese website for Super Mario Maker today. Thanks to information included on the page, we have additional details about how amiibo works in the game.

Super Mario Maker will support over 99 amiibo costumes. With the exception of the Mii fighters, there will be compatibility for every figure, including Pokemon, Chibi-Robo, and some of the Animal Crossing cards.

We have one other important tidbit as well: players will be able to obtain the various costumes without amiibo. It’s possible to earn them by playing through the 100 Mario Challenge.

Nintendo is including a booklet with all physical copies of Super Mario Maker. In Japan, we’re hearing that the item will be sold directly by Nintendo online to anyone who bought the digital version. They’ll also have access to a free PDF version – as is the case in Europe.

In the latest trailer for Super Mario Maker, the game’s Japanese packaging was unveiled. What you see above is the “box” it will come in. And inside is the Super Mario Maker disc (with its own boxart) and artbook.

It’s basically a throwback to the boxart for the original Super Mario Bros. on Famicom! Pretty neat stuff.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
