Super Mario Maker is a fantastic creative tool for fans of the franchise, and Nintendo's promoted it through limited editions, plenty of marketing and neat extras like the pixel-style amiibo, along with New 3DS cover plates in Japan and PAL territories. It's not quite done yet, though.
As plenty of fans around the web have spotted, there's now an official website that allows you to customise your own wallpapers for PCs / laptops, or indeed smart devices. There are limited items to choose from across all of the templates found in the game, so that's covering four Nintendo game styles and various stage backgrounds.
To do this you head to http://mariomaker-wp.nintendo.co.jp/, then scroll down and select the image of a PC monitor or smartphone. Though the site's in Japanese it's self-explanatory, with familiar icons from the game; when you're done with your creation click on the Coursebot logo and it'll generate a solid image of your wallpaper that you can save and share on social media.
It's a pretty fun feature and well worth checking out.

Or... Put themes on the Wii U? Anyone?
That was cool. Have to make more later.
@JohnnyC I'd love that, I remember when the animal crossing plaza came out and I thought it was going to be a theme but it wasn't, I was disappointed but then i thought, maybe it is a sign of it coming but nope... I've stopped really expecting or hoping for themes because they are probably never going to come to the Wii U.
Made this one for my S5 wallpaper
@JohnnyC Needs to happen on NX
Meh, I like my anime girl wallpapers.
This is awesome!!
Now, this is a pretty simple, smart, and very cool idea.
This is a nice, simple and smart way to draw attention to the game. I like how it's strikingly similar to the actual game in many ways.
Love it!
Nintendo, sometimes you just get things right. And when you're right, YOU'RE RIGHT.
Not sure how you're supposed to find this without snooping into the website's files, but if you add ?6358D569C9 to the end of the URL of the main page, you get access to a Boo and Starman object. Similarly, adding ?7F93F702E6 to the end of the URL puts Mario in a Toad costume.
P.S. You can't use both at the same time.
Also, if those codes doesn't work for you, it may because you're doing it on the editor (instead of the main page) or because Nintendo changed the codes. The codes are on this file, so I wouldn't hurt to check if they changed:

@Megumi You don't say.
@aaronsullivan My smexy girls, stay away. hisses at you
@ikki5 I had similar thoughts about that channel. I think, even, that it was a step in that direction, but when your console fails to deliver sales you start diverting efforts.
Here's hoping these types of things are on the NX at the starting gate.
Awesome!!! Definetly looks like I'm playing games at work in the background hahah
