Make it work!

Let this sink in for a moment: Mario Paint released in August 1992. Now, this isn't meant to make you Super Nintendo fans feel ancient (though I just made myself feel old), but to recognize that Nintendo hasn't released anything like it since then. But even as a piece of software—apart from the fly-swatting mini-game, can we really call it a game?—it had a basic drawing utility, a stamp maker, a simplified loop animator, and the infamous yet still-popular music generator with which you can hear .

Finally, over two decades later the Nintendo-centric user-creation mega-widget returns in the form of Mario Maker, which so far already looks to be a fantastic level editor. Along the top of the screen is a hotbar of various classic Mario platforming elements that can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the field. Any mistakes can be swiftly undone by pressing the Laughing Dog icon from Duck Hunt in the lower left-hand corner.
