News: A new video for Super Mario Maker has just been released to whet your appetite for the game’s release next month.

Super Mario Maker will be released on the Wii U in approximately a month. To help whet your appetite Nintendo has released a new video with an overview so you know some of what to expect when you pick the game up. With Super Mario Maker anyone can create 2D Mario levels using the Wii U GamePad controller.

Making courses is easy. Players use the GamePad touch screen to easily drag and drop elements they want in their levels. Place blocks, pipes, lifts and enemies anywhere and play through the level. Want a Goomba to wear a Piranha Plant on its head, build a tower 10 Goombas tall or make a Piranha Plant fly by giving it wings? Players can instantly playtest and edit their creations on the fly. If something isn’t working, go back into edit mode immediately by tapping a button and make tweaks until everything is just right. With the tap of an icon, users can even switch the visual style between a classic 8-bit Super Mario Bros. look and the HD world of New Super Mario Bros. U in the E3 version.

Super Mario fans can look forward to the following releases on September 11th:

Super Mario Maker Wii U Premium Pack: a black Wii U Premium console, a physical copy of Super Mario Maker, a Hardcover Artbook and a Classic Colours Mario amiibo from the Mario 30th Anniversary Collection
