Super Mario Maker Removes Nine Day System

Super Mario Maker Removes Nine Day System on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Want to grab all the goodies in Super Mario  oMaker? Nintendo have tweaked the original nine day unlock system.

One of the peculiar initiatives in the Wii U game, out today, is the progressive nature of how content is unlocked. Unlike many other games in the market, which offer a performance-based unlocking approach, Super Mario Maker had previously required players to play through a number of days to  unlock all of the game's toolsets.

However, it appears that Nintendo have listened to fans and removed this requirement, shrinking it down to around fifteen minutes - according to reports.

For more on the game, be sure to read our Super Mario Maker review.

Do you think the nine day requirement was a bad move on Nintendo's part?

Great move. Hated this idea. I get what they were trying to do, but time-locking shouldn't be a thing, especially on the level they were doing here. Really put me off the whole thing. Can look forward to some good stuff earlier on now.

Not working for me. Nothing is unlocking. :/

Edit: A pointless update and not fixed at all. The patch doesn't fix anything, It takes just the same amount of time to go in and out of the game and change the calendar.

All the patch did was make it so you can unlock content the same day. You still need to sit there like an idiot filling screens worth of each unlock you get before it unlocks a new set of content. By the time you've done this, it's not any quicker.

I had fun for 30 minutes, but I got bored of sitting there trying to unlock content and turned it off after hours of waiting around (making courses properly). A rubbish system that needs to be completely abolished.

One step forward, two steps back. (this should be Nintendo's slogan)
