Polygon: In a perfect world, every video game franchise would have its own Super Mario Maker. By giving the keys to the Mushroom Kingdom to players in such an approachable way, Super Mario Maker does something beyond the scope of most user-generated content-heavy games. Sure, it allows you to make some truly bonkers levels levels that, at their most audacious, completely rewrite the rules of the Mario canon. But what's more impressive is how it holistically teaches you what goes into making a Mario game, and just how demanding that design process has always been.

Back in March Final Fantasy Type-0 HD was released on consoles. It did quite well, mostly down to the fact that it came bundled with a sizeable demo of the still-far-away Final Fantasy XV. Now at the end of August 2015 Square Enix has blessed PC owners with a port of the game, which may I remind you originally came out on PSP in Japan in October 2011. It does not include the Final Fantasy XV demo, so has to stand entirely on its own merits. Oh dear.

Everyone is a co-developer in Super Mario Maker.

Nintendo knows how to make an expertly crafted Mario game. The company excels in level design and mechanical variety on a game-to-game basis, and each new entry in the series showcases the company's creativity. But what happens when Nintendo takes the tools used to make Mario games and puts them in the hands of players? It results in Super Mario Maker, a special game that emphasizes the creativity of an entire community. Best of all, it's the kind of experience that will only improve with time.

Perhaps the best compliment we can pay to Nintendo's latest game is that it is not so much a game as it is an experience. That's saying a lot for something that is as steeped in tradition and culture as a video game could ever be. Nintendo somehow manages to take its two-dimensional worlds (and one of its 3D ones) and modernize it, craft something new, and hand over the reigns to the players.

"Game design has always been a passion of mine. Level design, in particular, is such a fascinating and abstract concept, and the ways in which it meshes with more straightforward elements like controls, visuals, music, and story is a very compelling subject. Yet to create a game is not an easy task; even the simplest and most straightforward engines out there require some skill to produce anything worthwhile, and generally one needs some sort of coding and graphic design experience to really produce something great. The path to simply crafting game levels is not an easy one. Enter Super Mario Maker. It offers the flawless controls, great visual styles, and detail of various Mario games, all with an easy to understand interface: truly, it is all about the level design. And alongside this, you can share your levels with the world, and get to experience the countless levels others have made with their own genius. Not everything is perfect, but it is a terrific tool and a great game...
