A free update coming to Wii U’s Super Mario Maker next week will deliver an assortment of new items that give players more ways to build their own unique levels.
One of the items is a Fire Koopa Clown Car, which, as you can see in the image below, shoots fireballs. It can also fire charged shot that’s powerful enough to break blocks. Another new item coming in the free update is P Warp Doors, which, unlike standard P Doors, are only visible while a P Switch is activated
The update will also add a donut-shaped item called a Bumper. As its name suggests, this item sends Mario bouncing when he touches it. You can click through the images in the gallery above to get a closer look at all the new Super Mario Maker items coming next week.
In addition to the new items, Super Mario Maker’s upcoming update includes new leaderboard functionality that shows the fastest clear time for a given level. This information will be displayed under a new menu tab appropriately called World Records.
Also on December 21, Nintendo will launch the Super Mario Maker Bookmark, a web service that allows players to search for courses to try from their computer or mobile device. You can search with filters like difficulty, game theme, course style, or a selection of other tags like puzzle style and music.
If you’re logged in using your Nintendo Network ID at the website, the URL for which will be announced next week, you can bookmark courses in the app and they’ll show up in the Course World tab in-game.
