Editing Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS

The game includes much of the content from the original Wii U release, with notable exceptions being its sample courses, 10 Mario Challenge, the [[Mystery Mushroom]] and [[Big Mushroom]] power-ups (and thus the [[Costume Mario]] and [[Big Mario]] forms), and searching for courses by code. It is also possible to play courses made in the Wii U version, though not every course is compatible with the 3DS version due to version differences, such as the removal of Mystery Mushrooms and Big Mushrooms from the 3DS version.

Exclusive to ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' and replacing the Wii U version's sample courses, the game includes 100 new courses designed by [[Nintendo]] pre-installed. The courses 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 have a special icon marked next to it. The editing mode of the game also includes Yamamura's Lessons,<ref>Nintendo. (November 17, 2016). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zhE5Sb45O4 ''Super Mario Maker 3DS'' - Overview Trailer (EN)].

The '''Super Mario Challenge''' (called '''Challenge Courses''' in the [[Coursebot]]) is a challenge mode containing 100 levels that replaces 10 Mario Challenge from the Wii U version. It has Challenge Medals to collect that come in handy for accessing the 19th world. Each time one of the first 18 worlds is cleared for the first time, some course parts are unlocked.
