Super Mario Maker - 99 Amiibo Costumes. Confirmed unlockable without amiibo
- Thread starter JoeM86
- Start date
The unlockable element is great, because it provides some incentive for playing levels. I mean, I'm sure the 100 Mario Challenge will be a fun experience in itself, but unlocking amiibo creates synergy between playing and making. And if the only unlockables are the Amiibo costumes, it's a much neater way of doing this than LBP where I always had the feeling that I was missing out on a better object or sticker.
Allowing goombas or lakitus to wear the costumes to make simple Nintendo enemies would knock the ball out of the park. The costumes being draggable might make this a possibility?
If Lakitus could throw magic mushrooms that would also be cool.

First thing that came to my mind too. Sonic 1 Master System was my first Sonic game. Would be good for the nostalgia factor.

That's what I'm talking about. Don't hate any content behind Amiibo, just fast rack the system if you have the Amiibo.
To bad there isn't artwork done for every Mario game. Would be awesome to play these characters in World.

Now this would be incredible. Playing as Bowser and fighting Mario? Gimme!
Every time I read about this game I get more and more excited. I need a Wii U.

8-bit only? No NSMB skin?

I got 99 Amiibos but Snake ain't one.

The amiibo Mushroom takes the place of power ups in the other skins.
Put something like this in the OP please so people know the ? Mushroom is SMB only.
Only 8 bit but I would pay for all the other styles as dlc
I'm happy you can unlock them without amiibo. I was worried I'd miss out on a bunch of cool skins.
Japanese Nintendo site doesn't list Pokémon compatibility for Yoshi's Woolly World so logically they have some use
There are 99 costumes, which exceeds the number of known Amiibos (figures & cards). There's still the possibility that the Pokémon just unlocks one of the others randomly. I wouldn't celebrate just yet until we see a Pikachu sprite in-game.

Good news
I wonder if I'll unlock them without amiibo instead to maybe savor the game.

glad to finally have confirmation that the Pro controller is usable
This is one of my favorite features in Mario Maker. I really want to see the 8 bit Star Fox characters. My childhood self would be so jealous! If they play the SF64 Mission Accomplished theme when you complete a level, I'll die.
Oh my god if there is a Ryu costume, it better say shoryuken when you jump and hadouken when you shoot fireballs.

This is awesome and I don't even have an amiibo. Though I am constantly tempted by the Captain Toad and Splatoon amiibo...just because they unlock some dope shit for two great games.

So lucina and both samus and ZSS?
I suddenly care about this game more.
Would buy sprites for the other styles.

Pac-Man, Mega Man, and Sonic in a Mario game. Oh how times have changed. Hopefully this includes Ryu as well.

The 8-bit Mario amiibos give you the ability to put mega-mushrooms in the stage. When you pick one up, it turns you big, gives the enemies Mario hats and mustaches, and there is an effect that makes it look like you are playing on an old tv.

This is probably the closet Nintendo will ever come to doing something similar to the exceedingly brilliant Super Mario Bros Crossover.
Something I didn't know I wanted until right now.
It already is. All Nintendo has to do is release it without any game breaking bugs and we will enter the golden age of Mario.

They even went and added support to Mario Kart 8 (I kind of hope for a third wave of DLC outfits in that game even if I don't really use them)
So I haven't really been paying attention to this thing. I don't really care about making my own levels and I don't have many Nintendofriends who will be doing so, either. Will there be some kind of browser in game that lets me see and rate stages made by other people (not just friends)?
What I'm thinking is maybe I'll just wait and pick it up in a year or so to play through the community's best courses. If that's an option.

Yep, there's a fully fledged course searcher dealy in the game, with user ratings and even difficulty rating applied automatically based on how many people can beat it.
