Nintendo is teaming up with the San Francisco Public Library to teach kids the basics of video game level design with Super Mario Maker. An event will be hosted later this month at The Mix, a creative space at the Main Library. Kids and teens will be able to create, learn, engage and share using all sorts of different tools. This comes as a nationwide push for more computer science education and digital learning for children.

Here’s an overview of the event:

“During the Super Mario Maker event, kids and their parents will have the opportunity to attend special workshops hosted by Nintendo game experts that will introduce them to video game level design using the Super Mario Maker game. Kids will be split into groups and given hands-on time with the game and shown the ins and outs of game level design. The kids will be encouraged to work together to design their own courses in the game – the more creative, the better! The courses will then be available to play by anyone that owns Super Mario Maker and has Internet access by entering special course codes in the game. Course codes will be shared after the event concludes.”

The Super Mario Maker event at the San Francisco Public Library will be held on March 30. Activities will take place between 3 PM and 7 PM.

Last week’s Super Mario Maker update made a small but notable tweak to one of the game’s items. The P-Switch’s hitbox has been modified, meaning it’s now more difficult to jump off it. Some players aren’t even sure if this was an intentional change or a glitch.

In any case, how the P-Switch works now is causing some issues. Courses made before the latest Mario Maker update use the old way of jumping off the item. However, levels made after the patch use the new method. And finally, if you were making a level before the patch and now make a change post-patch, the new P-Switch rules are applied. Because of this, it can be tough for players to determine how they should jump off a P-Switch in the game.

“Keiichi1996” attempts to show the change in this video:

Mario and Luigi were on hand at the 2016 Kids Choice Awards earlier tonight. The two famous brothers appeared in CGI form to help present the winner for “Favorite Voice From An Animated Movie”. There was more to it than that, however.

Before the winner was announced, the cast of Nickelodeon’s Game Shakers appeared for a live-action sequence that involved jumping over Goombas and hitting coin blocks. They ultimately needed to finish the level and grab the envelope from the flagpole.

Here’s a low-quality video of the segment:

In other news, viewers chose Just Dance 2016 as their favorite video game. It beat out Super Mario Maker, Disney Infinity 3.0, Minecraft: Story Mode, SpongeBob HeroPants, and Skylanders SuperChargers.
