Super Mario Maker e3 2015 trailer

Right. They clearly changed it to have that ability. I suggested it's probably to reduce confusion between two visually identical moves. The spin jump was rather useless in NSMBWii and NSMBU.
What did they change, though? Does the air stall now double as a spin jump or are they still separate abilities? I don't think I've seen it demonstrated outside of that trailer.
NSMBWii and NSMBU have 2 spin moves. They have an air stall that you can use to augment your jumps and they have a spin jump that's visually identical to SMW's spin jump but has no different properties from the regular jump. About the only thing it's good for is shooting fire/ice in both directions. They changed it in Mario Maker to allow Mario to bounce off enemies that would normally harm him like in SMW.
Ah, so will Yoshi not receive SMB and SMB3 forms? Is he being treated like other style-exclusive moves/power-ups?Peléo;168751478 said:
Also, I noticed in the Digital Event, during one of the interludes where Mario transforms, he was running across bone-like platforms. Anyone know what these are?
We have seen the SMB yoshi, we haven't seen the SMB3 one.

So I'm watching the Treehouse video and here are my impressions:
- the U.I. for the 'maker' is very snappy. Fast, quick interactions, and what I love is when you die while playing your level, you're back in the editor before the death sound effect has finished. That's fast.
- I love the apparent 'updated' gameplay for SMB1. Looks a tad relaxed on changing direction mid-jump. Seems faster. Again and improvement
- the art direction is great. has a Neo-Mario Paint aesthetic in the editor and the game's a celebration of sprite graphics. I love how much 'love' comes through. I'm pleased to see Nintendo take this kind of approach to their legacy franchises. It's a gift.
I'm really looking forward to this!

I know that, I just don't think the footage is clear on which moves now works like the SMW spin jump--he's already in the air in the trailer footage, isn't he?

Link to this? I'm loving the retro sprites they've made for this game.
Don't have a link handy (im at work) but SMB yoshi has been shown in videos.
once you do a spin jump off the ground, if you bounce on something it stays...in the gif he probably did the spin jump off the blocks on the left onto the thwomps.
or its a button like in smw, who knows.
Those are new. They are basically one form they came up with the underground version of the kind of platform that has background below it. You can shake platforms to change what they look like. In today's treehous they shook a SMW mushroom platform and it changed into non-solid ground. They shook it again and it turned into a tree. This is the kind of object the bones likely are. I've seen footage where they are cages, ropes, wooden walls, etc.
It's the spin jump. The air stall is a single twirl. The spin jump is a continuous twirl that you can't stop until you land on safe ground.
They made it a button in NSMBU. Same button as the air stall. If you jump and press it while in the air you do an air stall. If you press it while on the ground you do a spin jump.

Ok this is my Wii U killer up. You've done it Nintendo.

Is that showing how your jump went when you did it, or the best case scenario? It is an awesome feature either way.
Are you sure it wasn't just the yoshi amiibo?
Also, are baby yoshis (SMW or SMBU version) in ?
Oh, the way I remember the NSMB spin jump was that it doesn't have any real mobility and is basically a stationary move.

I remember someone asking earlier about the stages that scroll to the side by themselves and if this option would be available in Super Mario Maker. In case it hasn't been answered:
It just so happens that I was at Best Buy today, and I got to play the game and watch other people play it. We actually didn't get to create our own stages, we only got to play a few stages that had already been made by some of the Nintendo staff. I saw one of the stages scrolling on its own. But it was very brief, as the guy died pretty quickly haha. So please take this with a grain of salt.

You can make autoscrollers. There are 3 different speed settings.
Fwiw, I was very recently playing through both SMB and SMW simultaneously and simply having that visual distinction was enough to make me immediately realize the differences.
Playing through SMB on free time with 3DS, and SMW on free time with GBA.

More important. Did you happen to notice any smooth hills like in SMB3.

No, unfortunately I didn't. The only "hills" I saw were made out of blocks.

Oh, the brutality increases. I love it.
I want this. I never realized how great this would be until your post.

Funny that it's an idea Jonathan Blow showed off in a talk he did once.
You don't have to own the amiibo to unlock the characters.
There's gonna be more power-ups than were available for use in the demo, right?
In the demo you could only place mushrooms, fire flowers, and stars. I didn't see a Yoshi egg though levels did have him. But if power ups from SMW, SMB3, and the NSMB series are missing, that's gonna make me kinda disappointed.

Here's my response to your post in the Best Buy thread:
We already know that the raccoon tail, cape, and propeller suit are in the game. They've all been featured in trailers. The demo at E3 is limited to 2 rows of stuff while the full game that the Treehouse has access to has 5 rows. The editor has 6 rows but the 6th row isn't numbered like the other 5 and is empty; no idea what it's for. They were messing around with the editor today on Treehouse in SMW style and the feather was there.

Here is what the full game has:
Note the feather in row 3.

Not all that fond of autoscrolling but since I will be in the director's chair, everyone will pay and I will ruthlessly take it out on these unfortunate souls.
I believe there's been footage of the cape, the leaf, and the propeller hat so there's plenty. Probably other power-ups too.
Sadly no, I think they confirmed the amiibo costumes will only work in the SMB style.

Wow, OMG. It's going to be fun.
The time between the creation part and the playing part is so short that finally a level creation software is going to be fun for a change. Who other than Nintendo to manage that?

This is correct. Said during the final Mario Maker segment on Treehouse Day 1.
Get the Ryu and Mega Man sprites, recreate a Mega Man level, squint your eyes, and it's like Mega Man Universe was never cancelled!
