Two new costumes are now available in Super Mario Maker. After finishing the new Event Course, players can unlock outfits based on Hello Kitty and My Melody.

Here’s an overview of the course:

Sanrio characters Kitty and Melody find themselves in the world of Super Mario! At first it seems like a fun place, with cute blocks shaped like apples and flowers. But they’d better be careful, because there’s danger up ahead! Won’t you help them find their way safely to the goal?

And some footage:

Note that you need to complete the level twice in order to obtain both costumes.

A new user-made Super Mario Maker level has been making the rounds as of late. It’s very impressive (at least in my eyes), so I felt it was worth sharing. One particular section has players fleeing from a creature known as “Bowzilla”, which is arguably the highlight of the course.

Here’s a look at “Super Mario Vs Mecha Bowzilla” by KiavikView:

If you want to play the course for yourself, you can find it on the Super Mario Maker Bookmark site here.
