And now the Nintenbots can cease and desist all operations:Kicks door down. A flurry of ROB bots enter the living room with SWAT gear. Little kids crying in the background as drawers and cabinets are emptied and the family computer is shaken upside down like a school bully giving a nerd a swirly.
Amidst the chaos a solitary agent emerges. He looks important. He has coffee in one hand, a cigar in the other, and on the back of his coat the Nintendo Seal of Quality. On his neck is tattooed a portrait of Shigeru Miyamoto:'Sir, where did you get that software?' 'Excuse me, are you guys with the FBI?' 'Don't get smart with me. Where did you find that software?'
'I don't know. I just found this link on Reddit!' 'Great there's more people involved. Trace those IP addresses. Then burn the PC!
If this ends up on youtube make sure we get 20%!' 'But I don't understand. I've played Nintendo all my life. I named my daughter Zelda.
That's my little boy Luigi over there. I just wanted to make classic games for my kids.' 'Hello, did we not create Super Mario Maker?
Did we not sell it to you for $60? And are we not in mid process of cycling out support for that game by slowing down the servers, ending the miiverse, and only making updates to fix your clever glitches? What more do you want? Copyright infringement is a crime.
You people sicken me.'
With uploaded in its first week, Super Mario Maker has taken the the console video game world by storm. I was skeptical after watching a few demos at PAX Prime 2015: great, so you get to pay a wad of cash to do the work of designing levels? That could be fun for all of two hours before it feels like work.
There are only so many times you can test the game physics’ limits by stacking pipes atop one another or flooding a screen with winged Koopas before you ask yourself existential questions like “What else is there?” and “Why am I here?”Surprised to see Nintendo's mega booth contained only SUPER MARIO MAKER. Fun but wouldn't spend $60 on it.— Lauren Hall-Stigerts (@hallstigerts)You are the product, and you are paying to do work for free. Karl Marx is spinning in his grave.
( who recognizes this dilemma.)But a peek at and player reactions made me realize I was missing something. A number of have come up with their own takes on celebrating Mario Maker, from streaming level construction every morning to crowdsourcing level construction.
Twitter is flooded with thousands of tweets about the novelty of creating your own Mario levels.So I ate my plumber hat and bought Mario Maker.OK, FINE. I broke down, bought Super Mario Maker. But only because it's related to work stuff. Kinda.— Lauren Hall-Stigerts (@hallstigerts)I’m a lifelong Mario fan. I played the first release of Super Mario Bros. Before I could form coherent sentences and insisted on a Super Mario Bros. 2 themed birthday party.
Cashing in on nostalgia is not something I frown upon, and I’ll happily delight in it. It’s just this dang idea of doing work for free that stops me before I even start.
Mario Maker Embraces the Spirit of the Maker MovementAnother thought gave me respect for what Nintendo is doing here. Mario Maker is simply capitalizing on the Maker Movement. This isn’t a stretch–it’s right there in the title. It’s for the people who want to understand how things work, test limits, break things, and build something better.The Maker Movement has been growing as a revolution against modern consumer culture. It’s rooted in design, design theory, and the desire to test and push boundaries.
The mid-2000’s saw a boost in new technologies and new possibilities with a revolt against the consumer drive that these new technologies were spurring. “How else can I create exactly what I want and need from what’s readily available?” Makers are, at their heart, hackers attempting to deconstruct the essence of objects and create something even better using their own skills.With so much passion, enthusiasm, and raw ingenuity, how can you not respect the Maker Movement? Combine this with a beloved game property like Mario Maker and it’s an irresistible combination for people who love to break and make. Democratizing Video Game DesignNintendo has essentially democratized the ability to “hack” a game and create something new. Previously, video game maker technology was limited to those who work at game development studios or those willing to learn how to break into the system and learn the language of manipulation. Nintendo has removed the restrictive elements and “opened” Mario games on their terms, making it both more accessible to those who want to tinker in a “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG) environment as well as controlling access to the backend of a system.I’ve given Mario Maker a cursory play-through. So far, designing levels has been my least favorite aspect of the game.
I haven’t had the time to properly map out clever level ideas and put them to the test. But there’s one aspect that’s worth looking into if you prefer to play completed levels than build them yourself: community-designed levels. Mario Maker’s Secret SauceLet’s take a look at the Maker Movement again to find parallels with Mario Maker. The success of building something new relies on community.
“Makerspaces” have been on the rise in urban locales. These are gathering places where like-minded makers can share ideas, resources, tools, and skills to help each other build what would otherwise take one person alone much longer to accomplish. Mario Maker’s remote nature might prevent makers from building levels together but at least the maker can try other successful levels for inspiration.Image: Flickr /I was convinced before I even started that the community wouldn’t enhance the game’s experience—it was going to ruin it. If Mario Maker is so dependent on the community for content, then what can we expect?
Crowdsourced content is notorious for being, well bad.When every Jane and Joe can get their hands on the materials to build something, you best be expecting lots of broken parts and incomplete pieces. It seems effortless to us as players because there are really good designers behind those games that work hard to make the experience immersive. They didn’t decide to wake up one morning, download a copy of a game builder, and construct the most seamless and entertaining level. How to Make Better Mario Maker LevelsWhich brings me to another tenet of the Maker Movement at large: failure is required. We’re taught as children that failure is bad. We received an “F” on a test and our parents grounded us for a week.
Failure as a child meant no fun, no play. Failure at a young age has been translated into certain doom for our future. It’s no wonder we see failure as something to be avoided at all costs.But makers, whether they’re building Mario levels or three-dimensional prints, must learn to see failure as their best friend.
To fail as a maker is the definition of “play”—it means they are playing and experimenting to find the right course. To venture into areas unknown is to test their limits and to build their skills.
The life of a maker isn’t an overnight success story. It’s many stumbles, falls, and face-plants along the way that add up to “practice makes perfect”.Makers must break to build. Perhaps that’s half the fun of Mario Maker: pushing the game to its limits through a series of trial and error. That is, after all, how the world’s hardest Super Mario Maker level came about. The “Pit of Panga” relies on strategic object-throwing and impeccable vaulting off of them in mid-air to clear impossibly wide pits.The level’s creator told that it took him five hours to design the level and over nine hours to beat it once.
This wasn’t a random “let’s throw items onto the screen and see what happens”—this was a strategic (and most likely frustrating) errand of trial and error for a dozen mini in-game physics puzzles.PangaeaPanga’s level is ridiculously difficult, but not impossibly so. The fact he was able to beat it after nine hours of practice means it was uploaded to the community’s collection of “playable” levels. Sure, it took over 11,000 attempts by the community before it was beat again, which makes it a likely frustrating venture.
If we can’t beat it, at least we can appreciate the thought and skill put into his creation unlike the majority of playable levels in the community queue. So how can the community save itself from bad Mario Maker experiences?So there are a few gems in the rough among the community.

But as a prospective Maker, I don’t want to sift through the junk to find the gold. Luckily, Nintendo has a decent rating system that surfaces tried-and-true levels as well and up-and-coming level designers.
I’ve followed a few whom provide clever puzzles and game mechanics within their own levels, and I’d be happy to follow along as if following a novelist and her latest installment.Meta-communities have surfaced to curate and categorize the best levels. The folks at NintendoLife have created their own that sorts thousands of levels by popularity, user rating, and more. Offers a way to filter through nearly 4,000 levels using a number of variables such as difficulty, Mario game style, and type of game mechanics.Perhaps these secondary communities will help us skeptics take Mario Maker experiences into our own hands to find the levels that work for us instead of relying on Nintendo’s community filter.I still have yet to immerse myself into the world of level building, but the more I read about what goes into, the more I want to try “hacking” the system. The level builder in itself is a puzzle, and like Michelangelo’s theory, I just need to chip away at the slab of marble to reveal the masterpiece that’s inside. However, I’ll be careful to keep it fun and not let the fun turn into work.

That is, after all, the spirit of the Maker Movement.
