The 1 million players have to date created over 2.2 million Super Mario courses which combined have been played nearly 75 million times.
“For Mario fans around the world, including myself, Super Mario Maker was a dream 30 years in the making,” said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. “The game has captured and unlocked the imaginations of gaming fans of all ages and brought their dedication to Nintendo to a whole new level.”
For anyone unfamiliar with Super Mario Maker, the game uses the Wii U’s touchscreen game pad allowing players to create their own levels by choosing from one of four different game styles from Super Mario games. Players can add in a wide variety of different enemies, items and power-ups to make their levels unique before sharing them with the world for other players to try out and play.
In addition to the success of Super Mario Maker, over 310 million units have been sold around the world in the Super Mario universe.
