Super Mario Maker update introduces Koopa Clown Car(?), world records(!), and more

Nintendo is sticking to its 2015 strategy of substantial free updates for its biggest releases.

Super Mario Maker is getting a new patch December 21 that introduces a number of new items that the franchise has never seen before. Additionally, the company is making its Super Mario Maker Bookmark webportal live, which should make it a ton easier for players to share, find, and play certain types of levels. The best thing about the site is that it works in a browser on your desktop, tablet, or smartphone, so you don’t need to run over and power up your Wii U to trade with your buddies. This kind of support should give Super Mario Maker one last burst of word-of-mouth hype — something it has thrived on so far — before the Christmas holiday later that week.
