Cover fan-made Super Mario Maker courses highlighted by Nintendo
Sometimes, Nintendo would highlight select Super Mario Maker courses by e-mailing them to their newsletter subscribers or publishing them on a platform like Play Nintendo. While these courses would be considered fan-made content, I think they deserve some type of coverage here on grounds that they have been acknowledged by Nintendo directly. They should be listed on a page along with their preview pictures, makers, Nintendo-given descriptions, and IDs.

Three questions: -- 14:00, July 23, 2020 (EDT)
 * Will this proposal include levels mentioned on Nintendo's social media accounts? Does this change if the levels are not given a description from Nintendo?
 * Will there be one article for levels from both Maker games or will there be an article for each game?
 * Would a statement of an Nintendo employee, rather than the company, be enough to get a level onto this list? (As an example, would the levels featured in this article be included because an Nintendo employee was talking about them?) Salmancer (talk) 00:03, July 23, 2020 (EDT)
 * 1) I did not state it in the proposal, but I aim to cover those levels that Nintendo has at least given a description. It doesn't matter where Nintendo gave them exposure, what's important is to have a place to store their own assessments on these courses. For instance, just because "Mecha Bowzilla" was featured in a trailer for SMM for 3DS doesn't mean it's elligible for coverage, neither do Special Collections courses on the Super Mario Maker Bookmark website.
 * 2) It would make most sense to have an article for each game.
 * 3) Good question, but I am not sure how to proceed here exactly. There is precedent on this wiki of covering an employee's personal assessment and opinions, as it is the case with Michael Vaughn. Also, in this article's trivia section, you can see that I added the designer's headcanon about the subject. I think it would be fair to follow in the same steps and summarize the employee's feelings about those SMM courses.
