Do you love to play Mario? Sure, we all do.

But do you get tired of beating the same worlds over and over and over again? Again, the answer is the same: Yes, we all do.

Nintendo fixed all of that this past month, releasing a title that just might be the best family game of 2015. That would be Super Mario Maker – the latest installment in the world-renowned Mario series.


This title is available on WiiU, and it’s a combination of every Mario game that there’s ever been – from the title’s NES days all the way to the present.

But here’s the trick. Gamers have creative control over the challenges they’ll face. The title is called Super Mario Maker, because the gamer is given 100 percent control over the obstacles that they’ll face. You can create the level, shaping the landscape, obstacles and villains that will stand in your way from start-to-finish.

The beauty of it all? The versatility. Want to create a level that has Mario 3 villains, but Bowser from the days of Super Nintendo? Done. The game allows mixing and matching of characters.


Want to create something that looks like the original Super Mario Bros, title from the 1980s? Done.

Are you a novice and want your level to be easy as cake? Done. Are you a master and want it to be hard and loaded with villains? Done.

Gamers are able to mold, sculpt and create hours of fun. That’s what gaming is all about.


Super Mario Maker is awesome – a perfect stocking stuffer from Santa for any youngster who needs help making his Christmas list.
