Fun of freely allocating blocks and enemy characters and creating dream courses as if writing graffiti. Players can connect WiiU to the Internet, post created courses and let everyone play them, and then, download courses created by users all over the world. Many users supported the game because its fun is infinitely increased. That is why the game won the award.

“Super Mario Maker” is game software that allows anyone can easily create and play side-scrolling courses of Super Mario as if writing graffiti. Players can freely create challenging courses, which others want to challenge many times, and “strange” courses that nobody has ever seen.
Players can connect WiiU to the Internet, post created courses and let users all over the world play them, and then, download various courses created all over the world. As of June 28, 2016, the number of available courses is over 7.6 million. Even if a player does not create a course by himself/herself, he/she can fully enjoy new courses every day.

It is a great honor to win this price. In addition, we are very happy to have broad age groups play this game. We could win the award thanks to hard works of each person involved in this game including the Development Team and supports of players who enjoyed this game.
Anyone can simply and freely create Super Mario courses. This is what we pay the most attention to during the development, and we worried if the function would be accepted. In the year of 2015, the 30th anniversary of Super Mario, we released this game. Once again, we felt the character of Mario is loved by so many players.
In the future, we want to devise and create games that make players all over the world happy.
All Development Team members of Super Mario Maker
