Become A Super Mario Wallpaper Maker
Super Mario Maker has fostered a creative community by inviting players to make intricate levels with its easy-to-use interface. Now Nintendo has opened up similar tools for users to make inventive wallpapers.
The wallpaper creator site is completely in Japanese, but it’s still possible to navigate without any knowledge of the language. It isn’t as robust as the Wii U game’s expanding toolset, but there’s still a lot of room for quirky design.
Unfortunately, you can’t shake items to change their function or play through your creation, but that’s okay as long as it keeps that horrific Skinny Mario away from us. Skinny Mario isn’t the only disturbing thing to come out of Super Mario Maker, as you can see from our coverage of Waluigi’s existential crisis.
To start creating your own Koopa Troopa-filled wallpapers, head over to Nintendo’s site. For more on the clever things the Super Mario Maker community is up to, check out our coverage.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
