Super Mario Maker 2 Direct

One of the highlights during the recent Super Mario Maker 2 Direct presentation was the confirmation of Undodog, a good boy who is one of the many helpful characters Mario will encounter in the brand new story mode.

If you're not familiar with Undodog (also known as Undo Dog), he first appeared in the 1992 Super Nintendo title, Mario Paint on the Super Nintendo.

His primary function, if it wasn't already obvious, is to undo the player's last action.
