It looks like owners of the Wii U title Super Mario Maker will soon see an end to new and creative worlds from other players across the globe

Nintendo has announced that it will be discontinuing the upload of new courses into the game’s online library from 31 March 2021 onward – along with the shutdown of the Super Mario Maker Bookmark website. Likewise, it will be discontinuing digital sales for the game via the eShop on 13 January 2021.

Fortunately, players of the Wii U title will still be able to access courses before this discontinuation takes effect.

Here is the full notice from Nintendo UK below:

Discontinuation of certain services

From March 31st 2021, it will no longer be possible to upload courses in Super Mario Maker for Wii U. On the same day, the Super Mario Maker Bookmark website will also close.

It will still be possible to play courses uploaded before the service discontinuation.

In preparation for the discontinuation of these online services, Super Mario Maker for Wii U will be removed from sale on Nintendo eShop on January 13th 2021. It will still be possible to redownload the game after this date.

There is no impact on Super Mario Maker 2 for Nintendo Switch.

We would like to thank all players for supporting Super Mario Maker for Wii U over the past five years.

Planned service end date: March 31st 2021

Please note that depending on the circumstances, these services may be discontinued earlier than the above-mentioned date.

Services that will end

• The ability to upload courses in Super Mario Maker for Wii U
• The Super Mario Maker Bookmark website
  Due to this, the following features within the software’s Course World will also become unavailable:
  • Updating the ranking of liked courses
  • Looking up your bookmarked courses

An error message will be displayed when trying to access these discontinued services after their end date.

Of course, fans will still be able to enjoy millions of courses in Super Mario Maker 2 for Nintendo Switch – likely for years to come!
