My only gripe is that it seems like it's limited to SMB1 style, unless they are hiding another bomb from us.
Video says that the Master Sword is SMB only; but I guess future crossover power-ups could be made for other themes instead.

I doubt we'll see any third-party power-ups; but Mega Man in SMB3 or Sonic in SMW? That's the dream.

i wish each would come with 10 or so nintendo made levels but oh well.
The Ninji mode will give us official Nintendo stages at least; even if they're all designed to be rushed through.

Bit tricky to pick out one, but I don't think that would stop it from happening. Maybe a Warp Star? Maxim Tomato?

Dream Rod.

I feel like each mode needs its own gimmick to be viable for creation outside of nostalgia and obstacles. NES gets this, 3D World gets its own set of updates, hoping 3 and World get something too.

I kinda wish it was possible to just make the player play as Link, rather than it be a power-up. For any level that has enemies you'd have to put master sword spawn pipes at regular intervals, in case people lose it. Just swap out the power-up mechanic for hearts.

Dayum, these new additions, especially the Master Sword, open up a metric tons of new opportunities. People will make some crazy zeldaesque temples. This could be a good replacement to amiibo costumes if they do this with other characters.

Oh holy crap

I love SMM2 so damn much I really need to get back into it. Looks like this will be the perfect reason to

In the japanese trailer, they start with "おまたせしました [Omataseshimashita]" which means "We have kept you waiting/Thank you for your patience".

It'd be nice if they at least gave SMB3, SMW and NSMBU the power-ups they're still missing: Tanooki Suit, Frog Suit, Hammer Suit, P-Balloon, Super Acorn, Mini Mushroom and Penguin Suit. Every regular theme should get the Ice Flower though.

So, I'm just thinking... What if v3 update is Samus
Makes sense to me; we might get one of these per major update.

baseless speculation: this update was planned to coincide with link's awakening but had to be delayed.

smh. as a non-japanese fan i deserve to be thanked for my patience as well.

Wow this update is going to change a lot about the game. That's crazy lol. I really wasn't expecting it to be so indepth, but it looks great and I'm glad I already have the game haha.

Very cool update, but seeing Pokey and Ninjis there hurts even more that we still don't have a SMB2 theme... :(

Master Sword alone will make for some really unique levels, but it also reminds me how much I want a Zelda Maker. I love these updates, I just wish they were a little more frequent.

Bravo. Welcome home, Pokey. And Spike. And thank god for no Nabbit. And omg, Link with actual abilities.

This is amazing. Now do more! Give us Squitter once and for all.

Wow, what a great free update ! Hopfully, more are coming...So many possibilities with costumes now !
And I still think a new game style is coming. Maybe a paid DLC a la Splatoon 2 releasing next year.

Hope we also get a few new options (please let me use other songs during night time - the ones in the game suck!)

Otherwise this is a great addition to the game!

I could see them adding:
DK for SMW style
Kirby for SMB3 or 3D World
Samus for SMW
and Pikachu for Super Mario Land

Looks like an amazing update, and yeah I'm convinced the sudden need to add online with friends delayed this one.

If they're re-purposing the character costumes from MM 1 to be full new move sets like the Master Sword going forward, that'd be amazing.

This is really cool - I'll definitely be getting back on Mario Maker 2 after this update. Hopefully we get some good Zelda style levels and some fun new uses of these different updates. There were some decent levels based on dungeons from Adventure of Link not long after launch, actually.

Interesting, so the Zelda jingle is a sound effect and seems to replace the light bulb (doorbell sound) Wonder if other sounds change with the Link costume.
