I told you I'd be just, I'd be right back. [ LAUGH ] I'm super excited for this segment. I've been looking forward to it all day. Yes. We're here to show off Mario Maker. I'm again, super excited. Yeah. So I'm here with Eric Smith from Treehouse. Ethan Stockton. Hello. Erica Rebright, and our very special guest that many of you probably saw today on the digital event promoting. [ UNKNOWN ] Also has been deeply involved with Mario, early Zelda games, Yoshi games, going way back working with Mr. Miyamoto. A very special guest Mr. Tezaka. Thank you so much for being here. [ LAUGH ] Did you wanna? [ FOREIGN ] So I often work with the Treehouse when we localize our games and thank you so much for having me today We're really excited to have you. Thank you. So, we're gonna just hop right in. Ethan and Erica are gonna be helping with the translation of Mr. Tezuka. But, just to get you guys started, we're gonna show you what Mario Maker is all about. Basically, you get to make your own custom Mario courses. I mean, what could be more fun than that? I wanted this since I was a little kid and, I finally get it. I'm just gonna hop right into the software. Yeah, let's do it. Let's get started. So basically what we have here is a blank slate. It's sort of a, we've got Mario, we've got a Start. I'm gonna scroll, moving along here. We've a goal pole. And a bunch of objects at the top we can add in. And an interface that's just really simple and intuitive I think. Basically I just start, I just kind of get into it. You tap something from the top. Classic Gumba, tap him into the game. Put some coins in him. People have probably seen Those two elements before. Let me go ahead and drop a pipe in there. I can overlap some stuff, so if I want this piranha plant, I could put it here, have it on top of the pipe. Right. Or I could overlap it, and then when I play it's gonna go ahead and come in and out. And what's really cool is that you can go from making it, you click a single button, the play button down there And, you're immediately playing the Mario level you've just made. Exactly. I'm gonna go ahead in the bottom- left corner and tap play. Let's a go. Just like that, the course that I made comes to life right before my eyes. And then, tap edit. I'm right back into the creation tool. As you continue to drop stuff into the course. I'm just kinda, showing people what you can do. This might be a good time to ask Mister Tezuka about how this game came to be. Yeah, we'd love to hear his thoughts about how this came to be, and I'm just gonna go ahead and keep playing with the software and sort of building a course while they go ahead and talk about it. Yeah, so could you tell us a little bit about how Mario Maker was originally thought of and created? [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] So there's actually two parts to it and actually the The idea for this game came from our internal tools team, and they were working on a prototype for a Mario course editing tool. [ FOREIGN ] And so the folks on the tools team don't typically make courses themselves. They just work on the tools, but they had so much fun with this that they thought it would be a great game and brought it to me. [ FOREIGN ] And, also, For a while now, I've had this idea of using a game pad to create Mario Paint. [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] And as some of you may know, Mario Paint is not just a drawing utility or painting utility, it's something that has a lot of fun little clever features built in that make it fun to use the software itself. [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] And so instead of creating a new Mario paint, I thought, oh. Why don't I make a Mario maker like this and bring in some of the cool features from Mario paint to make it fun? [ FOREIGN ] And so this is just your typical course editor. It's something that you use your imagination with, experiment a lot with to create something fun and new. Yeah, that's one of the things about this is if you look at just the UI, there's so many elements that come straight out of Mario Paint. Oh I know, it's so, I mean Mario Paint was a while back now. That was software for the Super NES, but yeah, people who are fans of that from back in the day are gonna notice a lot of little touches that they'll recognize from that. Exactly, and I think that like One of the most fun things to do with this is to create stuff you've never seen in Mario courses. But part of the joy of creating is sorta the software's there, it's a tool and it has everything you need to make horses, but it also has a lot of little Easter eggs sorta built in- Right. That just make the creation process feel that much more fun and engaging, I think. Yeah. And we're actually gonna have Mr. [ UNKNOWN ] himself, show us. Even if you've tried this on the show floor, some of these are probably going to be new to you. You didn't notice them. Mr. [ UNKNOWN ], if you want to show us some of these Easter eggs you built in. [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] All right, here we go. [ FOREIGN ] All right, so I'm laying down some super mushroom blocks. [ FOREIGN ] Uh- oh. They kind of overlapped and you can't see it. [ FOREIGN ] All right wait, I'm gonna do this again. I saw a weird looking mushroom come out though. I think he was trying to show us that. There it is, there it is. There it is. [ FOREIGN ] [ LAUGH ] Did you see that and see this kind of strange, skinny, tall Mario? Yeah. What's the background of that? [ FOREIGN ] Actually, this Started out as a bug that happened in development. Right, okay. [ FOREIGN ] [ LAUGH ] [ FOREIGN ] [ NOISE ] [ LAUGH ] It happens. It happens sometimes, even with the best. All right, let's try this again. Yes, first try. [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] [ LAUGH ] So, for some reason, there was a bug where, instead of turning into a Super Mario, we had this strange skinny Mario come up, and it was so strange and funny that we decided to work this bug back into the spec. [ FOREIGN ] And so you can do a lot of cool stuff with this, like shaking the course objects on the screen. [ FOREIGN ] Like and it has nothing really to do with gameplay itself, but it brings a little surprise to it. [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] [ LAUGH ] And see, you shake the Hammer Brother and he throws hammers. [ FOREIGN ] And the Piranha Plant drops leaves. Try them all out. [ FOREIGN ] [ LAUGH ] And you place the wings on the screen and they just kinda fly away. [ FOREIGN ] And so there's also, I don't know if you can hear it, but a background melody. [ FOREIGN ] And so there's a lot of fun little things hidden in this game for you to discover. Yeah, so if you're here at E3 and you're gonna try this out. Try when you select an object to put in your course, give it a little shake and see if something weird happens. Not to make too heavy a point of it, but I think that was something with Mario Paint as well. Your point was creating A paint, a work of art or music. But as you're playing they're all these little devices in there to just kind of increase your enjoyment and kind of lessen that feeling of nervousness you might have about trying to create something. Absolutely, so we're gonna jump into a sort of a course that's already been created with this. This is actually one that was created by Mr. Tezuka himself. For the C3 version. Okay. And here it is. Wait, wait, wait. What happened? Why is it now New Super Mario Brothers? Wow. We didn't show this yet, but when you're editing a course you actually have the option to with a single tap change the art style from New Super Mario Brothers to Original Super Mario Brothers. One thing to note, it doesn't change the physics so it saves those eight bit physics that, you know, a lot of us grew up with that I love personally. Right. So I'm gonna show, I'm gonna start playing this course the Mr [ INAUDIBLE ] created and I'm gonna go ahead. I can't resist a good question block. [ LAUGH ] Chase that mushroom. Don't let it get away. I'm after it. [ LAUGH ] There you go. Nice. I got it, I got it. All right. And one of my favorite things about this is it's one thing to create courses that are familiar to you. But it's another thing to do stuff that's never been sorta seen. And every object you add in with the editor interacts with everything else somehow. That's crazy. So here's, this is a Well this is a great example. Oh my God. You're never going to see a course quite like this in a game, but if you're playing a Mario game, and you wish, gosh I wish this course had a lot more trampolines, that's up to you now. It's something you can make in Mario Maker. It's something that kind of breaks the rules of the Mario universe. Right. I'd like you to play around with it. It gives you all the tools. You can do whatever you want. You can just kind of throw them in there and see how they interact. I just noticed for the first time that the clapping hands are even different. They're more high fidelity when you're in So, I just went ahead and beat the This course Mr. Tezzica created but this is a course editor right? Right, right. So I'm gonna go ahead and maybe mix it up a bit. Spice it up? And just pass it back to him to play. Nice I think, you know, the opening was maybe a little easy for me. I'm a bit more of a hardcore Mario player so I'm gonna add some Pirahana plants in here. That ought to mix it up. I'm gonna put some wings on that one, Oh So that one should fly outta there. You know there's already, why not. There's one koopa trooper, why not. You're gonna make a monstrosity? I was gonna make a monstrosity, I want to add a couple more here. Let's be nice to our guest. Just put a bunch of goombas here. That's crazy [ LAUGH ] You can do it. Actually let me. I want those to stay on that pipe so I'm gonna go ahead and do a. THere you go. One of these guys, he's not gonna fall off the edge. There you go. Yeah, those red Koopas [ CROSSTALK ] they won't fall off. Then go with four Goombas there. [ FOREIGN ] Just for fun, let's go ahead and take that out completely. [ FOREIGN ] And the redshells, the red Koopa Troopas, stay on platforms and don't fall off, so they're really handy. Right. You can use the Koopas as a tool. But not [ UNKNOWN ]? Yeah. Okay, Mr. [ UNKNOWN ]. Give it a try. I know you made the original. Alright, let's go. Even though. [ Laughs .] You got it. Here it comes. Nice! Got it! Oh! That's okay, that's okay, keep going. [ LAUGH ] That's why you have another turn. [ LAUGH ] It's tough. I mean, you can make some really difficult courses. Okay give him one more go. Here we go. You got this. I love this. I didn't even know. [ LAUGH ] I didn't even know before I saw this course that the. [ CROSSTALK ] But, the trampolines and mushrooms will interact in that way? Right. Yeah. Look at that. [ FOREIGN ] [ MUSIC ] It's crazy. After making your course, you then go back and play actual Mario courses. And you realize how much mastery goes into them because its hard to make A course [ CROSSTALK ] [ CROSSTALK ] Oh man this one looks hard! And this you can really do whatever you want. Yeah. I think par of the fun for this is not just making a course. It's making a course, having a friend play it, having an idea from them, maybe they play it in a way you didn't expect. Oh there's my special tree. Look at that quad goomba stack! You got it keep going! Yeah like, there are a bunch of times where like, we made a course and we give it to someone else and we think that, you know, it's gonna go one way but then they just break the course and find a new way to break it, basically. Aah! That is hard. [ UNKNOWN ] stick with that side. Sorry guys. Oh that was great, and I think that really shows how you can sort of, you can build on each other's ideas, you make something, add something to it, maybe make it more difficult, maybe make it easier. Totally. And to that note, I've actually had a lot, I've had some time over the last couple of weeks at the Treehouse to play with this, and part of the amazing thing about my job is I got to make a bunch of horses for weeks. And I made a couple that I want these guys to try out live here for the first time. Okay, alright! I'm going to go ahead and load that up real quick. And I'm going to see if Eric can handle what I've brought to E3 here. I'm going to have you play it from the start. What's going on here? Alright This is the world premier of my course, I feel like game dad. Yeah, there you go. Woah! [ LAUGH ] That might've been the wrong way. [ CROSSTALK ] This is a course that we would've never thought of ourselves. Let's take the high road. Ok. Gotta go. And everyone, that's interesting, because even though Mr. Tiska's team is the creator of the game, you know, whoever is in the driver's seat creating the course, that course is really going to have their own style and their own feel. It's a rock and a hard place, here. Now you know, now you know. I got this. We believe in you, Eric. We know you can do it. You're an evil man, aren't you. This is extreme. Oh, There you go. Man, that's tough. That's a tough jump man. And what's fun about making these is that I didn't know, I had no idea how you were going to play this. I was hoping you would go down that lower one first but you didnt. Right. And this is almost like a puzzle, man. I see what's going on here. You got it, you got it. [ NOISE ] Okay, let's go go go. Very nice. Yeah, look at that. Look at. No! Wait, wait! [ LAUGH ] [ LAUGH ] Is that even possible? You got to be quicker than that man. See it took me, I made it specifically so that if you didn't make that jump. That shell would take out those bricks. That took me like an hour to figure out how to do because everytime, God, I had to redo the timing but. [ FOREIGN ] If one of the members of my development team made a course as crazy and scary as this, I'd get mad. [ LAUGH ] You know, I think that. What we've seen here on Nintendo Treehouse Live E3 is that you can't handle the course I brought. [ LAUGH ] Okay, all right, I see how it is. But what's nice about the course editor is that I can go ahead figure out, you know I'm just having a lot of trouble with this section. I'm just gonna add a lift right there for you. Man, come on. Why don't you give it one more try before I move on to the next course? No shame, no shame. This is baby mode. Can't handle the heat. If you can't do it now we're just gonna have to move on. And you're gonna have to live with that. That's why I'm pressuring you. I see how it is. Let's just pretend that you made it. Let me just, I'm going to put you down right there. Dude. Are they are in a prison down there? What is that? They're just hanging out. All right, there you go, okay. [ LAUGH ] [ APPLAUSE ] I couldn't help myself. [ CROSSTALK ] Did you reach the end? Yes. We've go one more, I made another one special for my buddy Ethan here. What? So I'm gonna go ahead and load that up. What have you done? All right, I gotta get my A- game ready. [ LAUGH ] Let' see. What is this? [ FOREIGN ] This one looks pretty intimidating. I really love that you sort of adding stuff that I've never seen before. Yeah, this is crazy. Like this one, I had actually already made the course. I had it all together with just that flapper up there. That's not exciting enough, I need something visually Going on >> right >> and a little bit of a penalty if you were to fall down. So why not stack four piranha plants on top of each other and put wings on the bottom. [ LAUGH ] [ FOREIGN ] Hold on I barely even saw what I can jump on down there. I feel like I'm getting this insight to your twisted mind that you know I've known you for years and . >> Oh yeah yeah >> I'm kinda scarred of you now man. And so Mr. Tessico was just saying that you can't normally put wings on a piranha plant on a regular Mario course, so this is really cool. [ MUSIC ] What's this about? Oh my gosh. There's a couple pixels there for you. Okay. All right. Don't be a baby. I love that about making course like I could've put that out farther, but you can keep moving stuff around, keep adjusting things until you really get stuff right on that razor's edge. Come on. Oh, I guess I can't really talk right now. Why don't you go ahead and put yourself back on that ledge. You're going to fall. Ok, alright. I'm just going to start. Is this ok? Yeah, yeah. just go ahead, you know. We don't need to make people at home wat ch you fail all day. Nice! [ MUSIC ] Pro, dude, I'm practicing pro. [ MUSIC ] Okay, are you giving me a hand here? My hand is just have faith, just run hard and have faith. Really? [ MUSIC ] Yeah. [ APPLAUSE ] Very nice, very nice. [ APPLAUSE ] [ MUSIC ] [ LAUGH ] And I think we've got time really quick to have Mr. Tezaka try a course I made also. I'm gonna go ahead and load that one up. Mr. Tezaka, will you play Morgan's course? Morgan made a course, we played. [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] I'll do my best. Let's a go. [ MUSIC ] This looks pretty tricky, too. [ MUSIC ] [ LAUGH ] There you go. Nice. Okay, oh man. This looks brutal. That was pro. Wow. That was style points right there. I've seen a bunch of people play this. Never seen him do that. Yeah. You got it. You were doing really well. This is crazy, man. This is what's great about Mario Maker, you have a chance to sort of play these Play them through in parts. You get to the point where you wait out- Come on. [ CROSSTALK ] You jump ahead. Aah! Oh! > > That looks very hard. [ CROSSTALK ] They're doomed. Look at that, man, jeez. [ LAUGH ] Look at that, dropping himself right in. Oh, no. [ LAUGH ] He drops himself into the fire. [ FOREIGN ] [ UNKNOWN ] I love it when you pick Mario up like that, he like wiggles and sweats, like you're gonna drop him. Yep. That's adorable. But you can see Mister [ UNKNOWN ] just finding the rock and the hard place, and kind of trying to create- Look at that. A spot that you can, you know, just make it a little bit easier. Nicely done. Very nice. So Morgan, I was going to say, knowing you and your sort of twisted mind, I get the feeling that there may be another way to do this one. That's what great about this, is that I found in the process of making. I mean, how many of us have dreamed, what kind of Mario course would I create. This one, I wanted to make it difficult, but there sort of be an easier way. Ok. So this one, you can actually just... Back it up. I think I know what's gonna happen here. Run hard. [ CROSSTALK ] [ LAUGH ] [ CROSSTALK ] [ FOREIGN ] I'm gonna go ahead and delete the booby trap that Mr. Tezuka put in there. So Mr. Tezuka was just saying that he could play this 100 times and he still wouldn't figure that out. [ LAUGH ] Well done. Here I go, here's my party. There's almost that many ways to play this course. We've seen it that when we were playing around with this back in the treehouse, you would create something and I would try it one way. Nice. Was totally different than the way you thought I would attack the core, so- Right. I'm gonna go back to the blank slate now, and I think we would love to get some final thoughts from Mr. Tezuka while he's here at E3. We could honor his presence and get some final thoughts. Sure, why don't you go ahead and get started and- I'm just gonna kinda play around and- Yeah. Make a course while you guys get some final thoughts. Okay. So yeah, do you have any final thoughts on Mario Maker that you could share with us? [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] So, the Treehouse folks here are really good at making games, and so they were able to make some really crazy courses that we've never seen before. But there are all sorts of gamers in this world, people who are experienced and those who play more casually. [ FOREIGN ] And so, you don't have to worry about making a really good course. That you might find in a Mario game. You know you can make it what you like. You can make, just have fun with it. Create something interesting that you've never seen before. Something strange, something cool to make your friends and family smile. [ FOREIGN ] And so really, don't think of this as a course editor tool, think of it as a toy to play with and experiment with. And I want you to enjoy my game with this in mind. [ FOREIGN ] Stay tuned for more. That you very much for those thoughts. Yeah. I'll go ahead an make a course here while we were talking. Did I see some sort of E3 memorial course coming up. I might have done a little tribute down here. I'm just finishing up here. Yeah, we still gotta couple minutes left so go ahead and take your time. Yeah so real quick, I just want to show again one of my favorite things you can do is just create weird stuff. If I go ahead and put this guy here, go three Gumba's on top and a hammer bro on top. That's crazy. That's, I mean. That's terrifying. I've never seen that. No, I don't want to see that. I'm actually kind of terrified of that, so I'm gonna get myself something to ride along up here. Nice. What's really cool is, I don't know if we touched on this as, when you're running, you have this trail behind Mario so you can see like. Right. That's true. Like if you jump off a pit, you can see where you ended. You can then, place a platform there and kind of, it's a tool that allows you to edit more efficiently. Right. Yep. Yep. [ INAUDIBLE ] What are those [ UNKNOWN ] doing, man? I don't know. We'll find her down there. If I could somehow, if I could have a time machine, travel back in time, tell my six year old self that I was going to be able to do this with Mario games one day, not only would I not believe it, but my mind probably would've exploded. So you can see that I was using that tracer effect you talked about. I saw where my farthest jump was from that pipe, and I can see that if I put this platform right here I'll end up landing on it. Yep. So I'm gonna go ahead and see how this course came together. I like what you're doing here. It's kinda rough, but okay. Are you gonna challenge Flying Goomba Mountain there? Are you gonna take the high road? I'm going the high road. Nice. I call this course E3 2014. I'm gonna get some of that. Let me get some of that 3. Oh. Oh gosh. Look out. Nicely done. Just like that. Very nice. You got skills. That's awesome. [ MUSIC ] [ LAUGH ] That was awesome. [ MUSIC ] What's cool, Ethan and I had the opportunity together to work on New Super Mario Bros 2. That's right, yep. New Super Mario Bros 2, where yeah, we got some named courses and that sort of thing. Yeah. But now working on this, you get to create the courses yourself and then you can name them too. Call that one Goomba Mountain, I guess. Revenge of Goomba Mountain, whatever you want man. While we go a little extra time here, I just want to get a little more in for the hardcore players to show how those jump tracers can really be used to build courses that would otherwise take a lot of time. [ MUSIC ] See, I can tell exactly, now I know that I'm going to make that jump. [ INAUDIBLE ] You'd be basically guessing over and over. It takes so long. You'd able to basically just know how far Mario can jump. It feels so good. This is an example of how this tool has so many, like, those fine little intuitive things that just keep you. It's not work to create a course, it's fun. Exactly. Now people who have been doing, playing Mario games for years, I think are really going to have a whole new experience being able to continue playing the courses they make or the courses their friends make and Then punish them with. But that aspect of creation and somehow you feel like you're getting to peek behind the curtain a little bit. Getting to play with the same creation tools that it feels like the devs have gotten to use for all these years.
