Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS

Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS is a Nintendo 3DS port of the 2015 Wii U title Super Mario Maker, scheduled for a release on December 2, 2016. Despite being a Nintendo 3DS title, the game does not support stereoscopic 3D, and gameplay is therefore strictly available in 2D. This applies to all consoles in the Nintendo 3DS family.

Changes and new features
The game is slated to include almost everything from the original Wii U release, with the exception of Costume Mario and searching for courses by code. It is also possible to play stages from the Wii U version, though not every stage will be compatible with the 3DS version due to version differences, such as the lack of Mystery Mushrooms in the 3DS version.

Exclusive to Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, the game will include 100 new courses designed by Nintendo pre-installed. The courses will also include medal objectives, in which the player must fulfill certain criteria, such as collecting every coin in the level, to earn a medal. Players can also send unfinished courses to other players, by way of Local Play, and they can team up, or collaborate, on stages. Stages made in this way will have a special icon marked next to it. The editing mode of the game also includes an interactive tutorial guided by Mary O. and Yamamura.

Differences between versions

 * Mystery Mushrooms have been removed from the Nintendo 3DS version. The Weird Mushroom replaces the Mystery Mushroom as the game theme-specific power-up in the Super Mario Bros. game theme. However, the Nintendo 3DS version may have amiibo support, but it is unknown what its functions will be.
 * Weird Mushrooms, Checkpoint Flags, Skewers, Keys are now standalone course elements, meaning they do not need to be created by shaking a Mushroom, an arrow sign, a Thwomp, or a P-Switch, respectively.
 * The 3DS version has seven item interface columns with nine items each, as opposed to its Wii U predecessor, which has five columns with twelve items each. Also, there is not a crown column, and all items completely fill each column.
 * The Nintendo 3DS version supports the ability for different players to collaborate on courses together via Local Play.
 * Players can share their courses with other players via Local Play or StreetPass..
 * Despite having the ability to download Wii U courses from the internet and participate in the 100 Mario Challenge, the Nintendo 3DS version does not support course IDs, and some courses will not be compatible, typically courses that include the Mystery Mushroom item.
