Update 2: Bumped to the top. Full announcement is in:

To celebrate the upcoming launch of the Super Mario Maker game for the Wii U console, Nintendo is hosting a special “hackathon” event at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park on July 28 and July 29.

Hackathon events are a unique element of the Facebook company culture, and an opportunity for employees to pursue a project outside their day-to-day responsibilities to rapidly create something that interests them. The Super Mario Maker hackathon is exclusively for Facebook employees to design a special level in the game. At the event, participants will be using the demo version of the game that drew rave reviews at the recent E3 video game trade show to create levels using the in-game tools that will become available to a wider audience when the game launches exclusively for Wii U on the 11th of September. The event will culminate with designers presenting their creations to a panel of judges from Nintendo and Facebook. The winning individual or team has the opportunity to make the level available for Super Mario Maker owners to play after the game’s launch. Nintendo will be making a video series documenting the event available for fans to view shortly after the event concludes, and fans can also check in to Nintendo’s social media channels on July 28 and July 29 for live updates.

“Facebook is known for connecting people through delightful shared experiences,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “Video games fit that mission perfectly, and we’re thrilled to work with a partner like Facebook to help more people form connections through the joy of games like Super Mario Maker. It’s easy for anyone to create levels in the game and share them with friends, and we can’t wait to see what the talented Facebook employees will create before the game becomes available to everyone starting on the 11th of September.”

Super Mario Maker is the ultimate evolution of the Super Mario Bros. series and lets players’ imaginations run wild. For the first time ever, friends can have fun playing through levels they create for one another. The Wii U GamePad controller makes it so easy for anyone to create levels that it feels like simply sketching out ideas on paper. Players with Internet access can enjoy a seemingly endless supply of inventive Mario levels inspired by Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U from players around the world. Everyone who purchases the game will also receive a special Super Mario Maker Idea Book providing inspiration and thought starters on the level-creation process. In addition to the game, Nintendo will also release a special Mario amiibo figure to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. game. To coincide with the anniversary, both the Super Mario Maker game and the 30th Anniversary amiibo launch the 11th of September.

Update: Both tweets have been removed from Nintendo’s Twitter account. Hmm…

Nintendo is celebrating the launch of Super Mario Maker through a new partnership with Facebook. Employees from the company will be making levels in the game, one of which will be made available to download on release day.

Nintendo announced on its Twitter account a few minutes ago:

These days, Nintendo games are sold both physically and digitally. So it makes sense then that Super Mario Maker will be made available on the eShop when it arrives in September.

You may recall that Nintendo previously said that all copies of the game will come with a hardcover art book. Thankfully, those who pick up Super Mario Maker digitally won’t be missing out on it entirely. Nintendo confirmed in its announcement of the game’s European Wii U bundle today that those who purchase Super Mario Maker on the eShop will be provided with a PDF of the artbook.

Keep in mind that if you’d like a physical copy of the book, it can only be obtained by purchasing the Wii U bundle, Limited Edition Pack, or Standard Edition Pack. These three options are all coming to Europe. At this time, Nintendo is only selling one physical version of Super Mario Maker, and each copy will come with the artbook.

When Super Mario Maker launches later this year, you won’t be able to upload tons upon tons of levels out of the gate. Nintendo has a couple of systems in place that limits the amount of content you can share.

The initial limit for all players seems to be ten levels. However, it’s possible to earn medals by creating stages that are rated highly by the community, with each one increasing the upload limit by ten. Based on the screenshot above, it appears that 10 medals can be obtained in total for an absolute limit of 100 level uploads.
