Nintendo Recruits YouTube Celebrities for Its Super Mario Maker 'Super Creator Challenge'

Seems the Completionist and Game Theory are head to head.

Vote for the completionist!

Yay for completionist and game theory! Love those guys

I am awaiting the sexist jerks on iJustine's video. The Beardman must prevail and save the aliens from the BEARS!

I'll be disappointed if the NintendoLife area at EGX later this month doesn't have a mushroom or two and a warp pipe.

The levels look great. I hope there's scope for a zeldaesque dungeon level somewhere along the line - having to go through the correct sequence of pipes or something and continually being sent back to the beginning if you mess up.

Now how come Nintendo can't be this nice to not so big Youtubers.

Oh yeah...
smh.

I just noticed Jirard's level was the only level where no one managed to reach the goal lol.

These stages are actually all surprisingly good! Gosh dang now my excitement cannot be contained! I took off work the 11th- if my copy doesn't arrive in the mail that day I'm going to have to go out and buy a 2nd copy at a store or something, because I just can't wait any longer! Maybe I'll buy digitally and preload if it's not going to arrive that day. This is a game I would love to have access to at all times without a disc.

@Iggly
That block at the goal was the best troll move I've ever seen in a game before lol...

Jirard's the only likable one here

The only one of these 'celebrities' I know of is Matt Patt, and I wish I didn't.

Kinda wished PBG was in this....oh well. :c

I only liked Jirad, iJustine, and MatPat's level.

Strawburry17's level wasn't well designed, and Jessica & Hector's level is just a "Sacrifice the Yoshi's" and nothing more.

@Sakura the Youtube channel Really Freakin' Clever made a level based on the Great Deku Tree from OoT. I recommend checking it out.

@mariovslink62 arn't both Jared and the Completionit's a part of Nomad Boots

@Thatguywhoeats yeah

@Squidling Thanks for the tip

Am I a bad person for not knowing who these people are?

This, of course, will be decided by whoever has the bigger follower base.

On the other side, they claim videos of reviws of their games from people they asked to review ....
Nintendo dosn't seem to know what they are doing ^^"

"Hey, sorry that were blocking ad revenue from your videos and pulling them down, but we'll let you promote our game for us! So no hard feelings right?" - Nintendo

All this hype about this game has me worried that I am going to start it up only to go completely blank and stare stupidly at the screen.

Objectively I think mat pat's was the best

So, I thought to myself "If I scroll down to see the comments, are a bunch of snotty people just going to start ignorantly, jealously and self-righteously insulting these people for being more well known and talented?"

And yes. Already three of you did.

SpaceJump, Moon, and asbel, you're all pathetic, miserable and hateful little imbeciles. Shame on all three of you. Go sit in the corner, you miserable, worthless, whiny trolls. Shame on you. Shame. These people in this video are all, and will always be far better than you. They deserve far more respect than any of you cretins ever will.

Love you Matt pat.

Lol celebrities

The videos were pretty cool. Glad to see Mat Pat, seeing as Game Theory is my favorite show on YouTube. It's a shame so many people are being mean in the comments section of iJustine's video though.

@Megumi Would've liked to see PBG and/or jontron in this as well.

My biggest worry was when it said "nintendo recruits youtubers" was that pewdiepie would get a mention.. Thank God he didn't.

@MegaBeedrill I would also like to see Markiplier, but...knowing him...maybe that would be a bad idea. xD

such messy levels

really wanted Lamarr Wilson.

I only know the bearded dude.

@night Their comments were hardly hateful, but yours definitely is. There is absolutely no need to speak of these people like that. All they said is that they don't know these YouTubers, and you just flew off the handle. These YouTubers are not going to thank you for defending their "honour", as much as you may think they are, so attacking people for them is uncalled for.

These levels just demonstrate why SMM is not for me.

"Hey, let's throw everything in here!"
"Hey, let's make it as difficult as possible!"
"Hey, let's add hidden blocks that you can't possibly predict just to kill you!"

@chardir I couldn't be more excited for this game as I have faith that, through the reams and reams of utterly terrible levels (such as this badly designed rubbish from some semi-random YouTube-types), it will be simple to find a plethora of quality user-created content.

Mario fans are often passionate and I think it will show. If the rating system falls flat there'll be endless 'top 10' style lists dotted around game sites and forums with codes for decent levels.

Also: I can't wait to make my own. I am well and truly aboard the hype train and have it pre-ordered.

The crap will be largely avoidable and enough people will want to make creative levels, not just Kaizo/troll stuff.

Also, about the dude who took the hump over comments on these YouTubers: he's a troll so stop feeding him!

@chardir There's a bazillion ways to create a level far beyond making them random, trollish or unfair, and surely there'll be creators covering all kinds imaginable. But hey, your loss.

On a personal note, I'm cheering for Jirard's level. Seemed to be the most well designed one to me, and I just love the little backstab at the end, a la Kaizo. I also really enjoy the guy himself and his channel, but that's just extra.

@CTMike Maybe. I will wait and see.

Apart from Matpat I've never heard of any of 'em.

The fact that they didn't invite the unofficial Nintendo fan club A.K.A GameXplain is a crime.

@MrGawain this.

Gamexplain is where it's at to bask in some positive fanboyism (though with great insight, analysis and opinion). There are a couple of levels they've created that look really slick actually.

The above levels are doing nothing for me, mainly because it often looks like a build up to one section where the effort lies, which is underwhelming. Like pop songs with a single catchy hook... zzzzz. Jirard's is probably the best a of terrible bunch.

I'm down with the marketing though, if it supports decent games then use whoever has the longest reach. Having said that, they all appear to be utterly bland. I'll reserve any deep opinion as it's surface level but honestly have no drive to watch any vids by these people.

MatPat is going to win. But that's just a theory... A GAME THEORY! Thanks for reading.

Should got that Diamond Minecart guy. My kid and his friends love him!

I want MattPat to win, though Geek and Sundry's level struck a certain chord with me. Maybe because it was the most original one, and it wasn't just putting your name in coins. So I voted for them.

I loved the reality show style they give to these videos. First the Facebook hackathon and now this. It's entertaining and honestly, a perfect way to promote Super Mario Maker.

Go Ijustine!
