Topic: Mario Maker Freezing bug

Since yesterday, for no reason i can see, whenever I run a level and pick up a regular mushroom, the level freezes. It's not even the whole game. Just the level. I would have to leave the entire menu and go back to creater because even pressing Edit does nothing.

Any one else have this issue and has been able to resolve it?

I haven't come across any issues like that, and I've put a fair amount of time into the game already. Sorry

Do you have the game digital or physical? If digital, try deleting and redownloading. If physical, check for scratches. Maybe you can return the disc and get a new one.

The first time I booted my digital copy I got a similar freeze upon getting a mushroom, but I've never had the issue since.

I've had mine hard lock which is the only Wii U game that I've seen do this so far. I was dropping down while riding Yoshi and tried to hop off of him and it instantly hard locked the game.

Had to hold in the power on the main console since using the power button on the gamepad didn't work.

I have a hard copy of it. I will try today again after a 16ish hour resting period. If it continues to freeze, i'll attempt exchanging for a new copy. Thanks a bunch all for your responses!

This glitch occured to me for the first time while playing 10-mario mode. It is not a hard freeze. You can hit restart and Mario dies. After the third time, I stopped collecting mushrooms. A couple stages later, I collect a mushroom, and same situation. I avoid collecting any more mushrooms and manage to beat 10-mario mode. Then I go into Maker mode where I have the enormous shroom in a level. Same issue.

Here's the level if you want to try out the mega shroom:
Bustin' Into Fort Knox
0712-0000-0061-3900

I restart the software by exiting to the home menu and restart. Glitch is gone; mushroom behave normally. I only encounter the glitch once so I have no idea how repeatable it is, but the OP is not the only one to have this happen. Returning the disc won't do any good; this mushroom glitch appears to be infrequent and Nintendo will likely patch it out in an update.

Right before the glitch occured, here's exactly what I did: I created a stage with a pipe auto-generator creating mystery shrooms, and a staircase, and a mega shroom in [?] block. I save the stage, then enter 10 mario mode. First stage was World 1-2 remix (super mario world). I collect the mushroom; Mario freezes. Restart stage (Plus (+) and restart, in case you get stuck). Rinse and repeat.
