It might just be their design choice for the conventional feature, but...
...that's not what the keyhole I'm used to looks like.
I only see the 60$ Mario maker on the eshop, isn't there supposed to be a 70$ one with 12 month sub?
Crazy idea: The last game style is Odyssey.
The styles are listed in chronological order of release date for the main four, so it should follow suit in the "extra styles" options too. (of course it could just be reordered when the final style is revealed, but where's the fun in that)

Still no word on whether or not Wii U levels can be transferred over in any way? Really bummed if all the levels I worked hard on are doomed to stay behind.
Yeah, I was really hoping they would fix the rating system, this is very worrisome and could make it worse. This just opens the way to a bunch of annoying scrub players leaving dislikes on challenging yet well designed levels.

Yeah unlike all those multiplayer focused games that you pay $60 and give you immediate and free access to play online without Xbox Live or PS Plus...oh wait
I think it might just be re-ordered, but Odyssey would be pretty crazy (especially with captures and multiplayer). I think I might still be in favour of Mario 2/USA though; that'd be REALLY unique.
Not that I saw.
Only negative of the presentation for me was no discussion of a companion app/webpage, and also no ability to search for courses by name
Hopefully someone can help find an answer for this. It seemed like Global Play versus and co-op might only match you with randoms, which would be fine if the lobby let friends online join but they make it seem like only nearby players can join lobby? There might be some detail in a press release that i missed but I hope that isn't the case.
I have a feeling I'll be playing a lot of competitive multiplayer in this, it's something I've always wanted, competitive mario
Everyone has different standards!
I'm personally cool with everything.

Given it appears to follow the player, I wonder if it's there to allow people to make an official version of the Green Demon Challenge?
Probably still groundOkay, looks like Mini Pipes might actually be an element in more than just the "Forest" theme. This is the Desert, and the Pipe looks purple (probably blue pipe in the SMB3 theme).
In two different themes? I'm getting a bit skeptical of that.Probably still ground
? They're NSMBU physics, which are nothing like SMB1. They're a cross between SMB3 and SMW.
Something that worries me.
So for internet multiplayer, the Direct says it selects random levels (from online, presumably).
Then when they create a room for local multiplayer, it mentions that one player has to have an internet connection, and shows them setting up a room. It then asks them to select course difficulty, shows a screen about fetching level data from the server, and then cuts to the next part about standings and ratings in local.
The first thing that worries me is that unless it's nested inside the global options, doesn't look like any option to set up an online room for friends. The second is that the fact that it asks you for a difficulty setting implies that even in local co-op, you have to select a randomly selected course online instead of being able to manually select your own created levels. I hope I'm wrong and it's a further option or it's just in Coursebot instead, but that's the exact kind of weird arbitrary limitations you'd expect if there were any.

They're synonymous with those themes in Mario 3 and look a hell of a lot better than regular ground in that configuration. The more of that the better IMO.
Can we not play online with friends?? If not then this is a waste of time. I don't give a crap to play online levels with random people

Here's the JP site. There might be a few more things hiding on there.

The Mario Maker team must be big fans of the original California Adventure designs. I guess it looks appropriately horrible for the NSMB theme
One screen confirms the purple pipes in SMB3 desert are just terrain
Maybe you have to complete the level to leave a dislike?
Dislikes could be good to help purge the garbage levels though. There was no way to actually express that they were garbage before other than choosing not to star it.
Yeah if you have to finish a level to dislike that would be a good filter.
I'm a little miffed it looks like with night elements it looks like its all or nothing, you can't choose the look without the gimmick or vice versa
My body is ready!
Still deciding if I should get the vouchers for this and Fire Emblem. Options are killing me here.
So is there no local, same device multiplayer beyond level creation?
I only saw them mention online multiplayer or multiple Switch multiplayer.
Edit: saw the thread specifically for the multiplayer mode(s). That's a shame, that was one of the main things I was looking for from this game. :/

No, the multiplayer has everyone with their own screen and able to separate being core to how it works
Twitter notes that it's the same as the sun switches from Ocarina of Time... Could we be getting DLC later for crossover themes? Zelda themed levels? Maybe I'm dreaming a bit much on a tiny detail...
