Super Mario Maker is the platformer with endless content, naturally, though the batch of 'Event Courses' developed by Nintendo and its chums continue to add some nice little treats. A number of these add Mystery Mushroom costumes, some that are quirkier than others; we've have totem Links to celebrate The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, don't forget.
The next 3DS game to get a nod in the Wii U title will be Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, with Nintendo of Europe confirming that a quirky 'Paper Mario' outfit will be unlockable when clearing its related Event Course from 3rd December. That's to celebrate the upcoming arrival of the game in Europe this week, though we hope the course will be available on the same date in North America too despite the 3DS RPG not arriving in the region until January.
Have you been enjoying the Event Courses, and are you planning to tackle this one?

Neat! Now can we get the Paper Mario style/theme I've been wanting since the game came out? Thanks!
He thats funny!
Neat, one with Paper Mario by himself would be cool too.
We need an actual paper Mario amiibo in my opinion. It could be like Mr. game and watch: flat and interchangeable with different poses.
I love that they keep adding new things to SMM!
@Ryu_Niiyama Come on Slopes...
"Have you been enjoying the Event Course?"
@ThomasBW84: No, because it's not out yet. ^^
I just hope it's a genuine Paper Mario costume, not the three of them together.
Call me a traditionalist (which I'm usually not), but I'm still against the mashup of Paper Mario and regular Mario. Those two belong to two different universes and should stay separated.
The way Paper Mario was distinguished (not just his ability due to his "thinness" or "2-dimensionalness", but his humor and irony regarding the Mario franchise) from regular Mario was always what made Paper Mario so great. Now the only remaining distinction is his looks and his ability.
@shani Yes, that was meant to be a plural, Event Courses.
@whodatninja I don't see how Nintendo can make tiles for slopes. Sure it doesn't sound hard but idk, it doesn't look like Nintendo might be able to do it.
@ThomasBW84 Ah, that makes more sense! I didn't see the date first and thought from your comment that it was already playable. Then I opened MM and was actually a little bit disappointed. ^^
I played and cleared all the Event Courses which give you a costume so far. The other ones without or with redundant costumes I didn't play at all. My only motivation is to get as many costumes possible in MM as I want to have more creative freedom. Or in other words, since I need some specific costumes for a great level idea I had from the start, I just made it my priority to get as many costumes as possible. Because of that, I play the 100 Mario challenge only on easy because on medium and hard it takes way longer until you get a costume. With the event courses though, it only takes one level, I prefer that.
Alright, I'll get it when I'm home.
@whodatninja Everyone wants slopes, and I just want more level themes (sure would be nice to get snow-levels for Christmas...), power-ups and enemies.
Gush darn it, this Paper Mario sprite looks so hideous! Why couldn't you go with the normal sprite, Nintendo? Because of the SMB style?
I hope Nintendo keeps adding even more stuff to Mario Maker. The impressive sales of the certainly warrant it!
It's a nice costume, except for Paper Mario's look. It's a bit disturbing.
They look a bit squished together and it looks weird. Still colorful and decent looking though!
Also am I the only one that thought the title was referring to a new power-up coming with "Triple Power"? Kinda bummed now that it just nods to the costume, we're in desperate need of more variety in power-ups, and all games after SMB3 have plenty to offer...
Nice! I hope it comes with a decent official level, because most of'em are pretty bad.
As WitchHero stated, the sprite looks weird when their squashed together like shown. Can barely see Luigi.
@Artwark they can if they wanted to. Even simple games allow building custom slopes. I think they will add it soon.
So there is one outfit left, hope they saved the best for last!
@Undead_terror daisy
To be honest, I've had enough of mystery mushroom costumes. What I want is actual power ups for every graphical style, along with meaningful new stuff such as star coins, new background themes and freely ploppable water.
@Undead_terror You know they can just add more later, right?
@TheRegginator I got all the other event Mystery Mushrooms last night, so at this moment, they are all still available
I really like these sprites and the fun behind them but Luigi is really being pushed to the back in this particular instance!
@NintendoFan64 I know that however I hope this update has one more outfit that I like, then we will wait and see when the next costume update is.
One question: What is costume 101, and how do I unlock it?
@Henmii It's Fighter Fly and the only way you can unlock it is by beating gnat attack hard.
Thanks for the answer! Sadly I can't even beat the normal difficulty...
