Nintendo fans have been craving a level editor in Super Mario Bros. for years and it might just happen in the future.
Whilst Nintendo themselves have a reputation for pixel-perfect stage design, fans have wanted to get in on the action and share creations with others. The latest entry, New Super Mario Bros. U, allows players to customise coin locations in Coin Battle, but not the physical designs of the actual levels.
The game's director Masataka Takemoto spoke to GamesTM magazine on the issue, revealing that it is possible and the team are thinking of a way to make a stage builder "uniquely Nintendo", catering for a wide audience.
The official creator of the Super Mario Bros. manga, Kazuki Motoyama, has passed away at the age of 69.

These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
SEGA’s Second Division Manager, Osamu Ohashi, wants to surpass Mario by strengthening the Sonic IP.
Nah, Sonic is definitely iconic but it will never be at the level of Mario. Much less surpass it...
They can compete but Mario will always win. Mario and Sonic cater to different fans or fans who like both.
Sonic doesn't have to compete though. Both are their own thing, there's plenty of room for them both.
Thing is Sonic despite the bad games is still an icon as big as Mario, probably bigger cause he's seen more in media than Mario. More cartoons, more movies, more memes. So on that end he's good, they just gotta stop making bad games.
Create, Share and Play? seems legit
That would be a pretty cool feature!
LBP is so immersive, though I enjoy the platforming in the Mario Bros. series.
''Idea meet great, great - say hello to idea.''
id like to see this in mario games and zelda games. "design your own dungeon" in zelda would be awesome!
If they can make it part of a 'system' then that sounds good, I wouldn't want them to just add in a level design mode though.
