I'm under the impression that you can use the Pro Controller. In the Treehouse Live stream, they mentioned that the person with the GamePad can play the role of a Stage DJ of sorts, while another person can play on another control.

It took me so long to realize that these numbers were the levels counts for the original games. I kept thinking "this doesn't add up to 100!"
OP should clarify
Lol, Took me a while too.
Just put on the OP "in comparison, the previous titles had"

It's criminal that SMB2 isn't represented in the game. I keep seeing comments that it's "too different", but why? Because you can pull up things and ride on top of enemies? I don't see those as insurmountable problems.

Do we know what kind of co-op it has? 4 person offline only? 2 person?
Amazing! I didn't expect too many premade levels at all, but this is even more awesome than I could have hoped for! YESSSS! Definitely getting this Day 1 now, this is gonna be like the greatest thing ever for me, it's going to be fun to play the crazy levels people make, even if I suck at creating things (so I probably won't mess much with it haha)
Oh hell yes! Also is Tipping Stars fun and worth it?

I don't even consider that a Mario game. I don't want them wasting any time or resources on it.

This treehouse stages from NWC were hilarious.

Those stages are gonna be in the base game. Almost makes me regret watching those stages being played already. Almost.

Okay, this quickly moving from my "maybe-buy" to "must-buy" list...

Of course there is.
LBP had 9 million levels a year or two into LBP2 and I could go on and find TONS of levels worth playing easily. Nintendo is dumb but not that dumb.
It's literally Little Big Planet. Mario -> LBP -> Mario.

Maybe not insurmountable but certainly not worth the effort, SMB2 is so much more different than the other games that it would be a pain in the ass to try and implement it. Don't forget that you have to be able to switch styles on the spot when making your stage, almost everything SMB2 has is unique to that game.

Awesome. This game is gonna be awesome.
Count NSMBU and NSLU separately. Disingenuous to count then together.
As others have said the game is its own dlc. 100 levels packed in is more than nearly every other Mario game ever made.
That's probably because it's not actually a Mario game. Plus they'd have to add in a ton of unique enemies, level aspects, and mechanics for it to be functional. It'd be much more work to add in than any of the other games included.
The website says it's 1 player. I wouldn't expect any form of co-op.
It doesn't play anything like the others and wouldn't work with any of the shared elements in the editor. You can switch between games on the fly for the other four games and still have a beatable level (outside of requiring a specific powerup or wall jumps), SMB2 would be a completely different story.

Before you guys get too excited, some - or a lot - of those courses may be like the ten/fifteen second challenges we saw at e3
I don't think we're getting 100 full fat courses here

So... ¿Does that make it the Super Mario game with more levels? ¿Or has any of the others more than 100? I don't remember the specific numbers except for SMW (96).
The main focus is on shared levels, wouldn't you agree? To me this is just "Too lazy to make a level yourself? Here, have a some of levels we made up, might inspire you to make something"
Numbers in OP list levels for all 2D Super Mario games
You must be fun at parties.

listen to the mad man
I'm interested in the pricepoint. Have they confirmed it?
Not because """""Nintendo games can't possibly deserve $60 pricepoints""""" or """"It's a platformer, they can't be full priced!"""""--I'm not saying it should be $40--but rather because Nintendo has shown a willingness to spotlight certain titles with a $40 pricepoint. I think the reason they have done so is two-fold: 1) Because the games themselves are perceived as a risk or 2) because in light of Wii U challenges, offering a sweetener can't hurt.
The other unusual thing about first party Wii U software is that the print runs have been tiny, leading to software prices to stay the same or go up after release in many cases.

This changes things for me as I don't expect to make any stages. I wasn't expecting that many levels to be included I may have to pick this up now.

Actually, I think something using a system of construction by blocks should allow to create levels like this without much trouble:
It would be great to have a Super Mario 3D Maker on NX.
lol you will have unlimited stages soon

Oops, I read it so fast that I thought those numbers were the compatibility list with each style

Pre-order is listed as 60. And it comes with a book! Yoshi is 50 I believe.
For a while I was worried about this feeling like a huge loss but considering the amount of gimmicks Mario Maker has that are practically exclusive to itself I think the lack of slopes can be forgiven (even though it's weird that they omit them since a majority of the games represented have them and SMB1 could just replace them with steps).

Absolutely. I'm incredibly stoked by the prospect of both creating my own courses and trying other peoples.
Just managing expectations lol
OP makes it sound like there's the equivilent of a full mario game attached to the editor which I distinctly suspect is not the case.
It'll be either SMB3/SMW for sure
I think that more than the gameplay, is because of the additional animations for Mario.
For example, Super Mario Bros. 3 on Game Boy Advance had those eReader levels and like one or two had Mario, in custom SMB3 levels...picking vegetables and throwing them. But! That game had a same sprite from Super Mario Advance, which was based on Super Mario Bros. 2. Maybe because there's no equivalent to that animation in SMB and SMB3 sprites, they decided to leave some stuff for another release.
Is not like it would be an impossible or even hard task, but it seems that their focus was on more "traditional" Mario gameplay for this.
Same way the original SMB was a training of sorts for other games, Maker could be for other Maker games.
