Easy Way to Unlock Super Mario Maker

With a game like Super Mario Maker, the history of Mario is on display, and many secrets, easter eggs and more are just waiting to be found in the game.

Unlock The 8-Bit Mario Amiibo's CRT Vision With a Code

Using the 30th Anniversary Mario Amiibo will trigger a mega mushroom powerup that changes several things on the screen, most notably a old-timey filter that replicated a CRT televesion screen. However, you can trigger this effect without the Amiibo. When on the loading screen for any level (not just Super Mario Bros. style levels) hold down on the D-pad, as well as the A and B Buttons to turn the effect on. You can turn it off the same way.

Bypass the 9 Day Content Lock

New players will not be able to use every single item right out of the gate. Instead, Nintendo has opted to let players ease into the game by only unlocking certain items after time spent using the tools available. The only requirement is that you play around with the editor for around 5 minutes, and you will be notified that a new shipment of items will arrive shortly.

Note: Originally, Nintendo opted to have players only unlock new items once a day, but as of Patch 1.0.1, this appears to have been changed. Now players can unlock the next set of tools sooner by continuing to create levels for another 3 or so minutes - you must place each new item at least ONCE to trigger the early shipment.

Interactive Title Screen

When the title for the game appears along with the background for a sample stage (which you can take control of and play at any time!) The title itself can be interacted with much like Mario Paint.

Tap the "Super" part of the title to hear a crowd shout out the title, along with the bunch of Super Stars that will burst out.
Tap the "M" in Mario to change it to a W. Wario will call out in appreciation and give you a Wario costume! (Not for keeps, though and only in SMB theme.)
Tap the "A" in Mario to summon a bright and fantastic shower of falling stars. Not only does it look nice, but it will destroy any enemies wandering around.
Tap the "R" in Mario to stretch the letter out, spilling out a horde of coins in the process.
Tap the "I" in Mario to call in a parrot, who is used in the Sound Effects editor.
Tap the "O" in Mario to summon a Koopa Clown Car.
Tap the "M" in Maker to drop a Buzzy Beetle Shell down. If it lands on Mario, he'll wear it as a helmet!
Tap the "A" in Maker to initiate a countdown, before the A blasts off into space.
Tap the "K" in Maker to turn on an old-timey filter, rendering the title screen in sepia with retro music to boot.
Tap the "E" in Maker to drop down a trampoline.
Tap the "R" in Maker to stretch out the R, which will spit out a Kuribo's Shoe in the process. If the the title screen is in the Super Mario World or New Super Mario Bros. U style, it will release a Yoshi egg.
Tap anywhere else on the screen to summon a random enemy - much like the Magikoopa's attack. Hold down and drag to show off the magic effects.

Fly Swatter Minigame and Builder Mario

A throwback to Mario Paint has returned in the form of the Fly Swatter game. At a random point when creating levels, you may notice 3 flies buzzing around the screen. Hitting all of them on the gamepad will trigger the mini-game to begin. Unlike the previous version of Fly Swatter, this mini-game utilized the touch screen to swat flies, and has a very limited timeframe, rather than using lives. If you complete the minigame the first time, you will unlock Builder Mario. Additional playthroughs do not seem to unlock further costumes.

Change the Hand

You can change the image of the hand on your TV screen while placing items simply by pressing in on the right or left control stick. Depending on which side you press, you can choose to either have it show a right or left hand. You can also cycle between different skin colors, or even animal paws!

Rescue the Princess with a Costume

When playing 10 Mario Challenge or 100 Mario Challenge, if you beat the final level while wearing a costume, it may have an effect on the dialogue when meeting Toad or the Princess. For instance, Toad will panic if you are wearing the Bowser costume, while Peach will be surprised Bowser saved her himself. If you're wearing the Toad Costume, Toad will refer to you as Captain.

Tall Mario

At any point when playing levels (either your own, sample levels, or even community levels) you may come across a tall skinny looking Super Mushroom in place of a normal one. This will transform Mario into a very odd looking tall and skinny version of Super Mario, complete with odd sound effects and wiggling legs when running and jumping. Creepy.

If you manage to beat all the Nintendo World Championship Levels, you'll be able to place the Skinny Mushroom at will!

Unlock the Nintendo World Championship Levels

If you'd like to try your hand at the four courses made specifically for the 2015 Nintendo World Championships, you can unlock them yourself. To do so, keep playing and completing 10 Mario Challenge. Each time you beat it, the 8 courses you played will be added to your Coursebot. Once you've unlocked everything but the last row on the Coursebot, you'll be rewarded with the 4 championship courses!

Shell Helmet In-game

If you find a Shell Helmet, but it is lying on the ground in Super Mario World or New Super Mario Wii-U Theme, you can simply pick the helmet up and duck and it will go on your head. However, if Mario is not small in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style, the player can put the helmet on as aforementioned.

Hidden Videos In Digital Instruction Manual

In the Digital Instruction Manual, you can enter a variety of four digit codes that will prompt a video. Many of these four digit codes can be found in the booklet that accompanied physical copies of Super Mario Maker. This booklet could also be viewed via PDF format online for those who purchased a digital copy of the game via Nintendo's Wii U eShop. Physical copies of the booklet could also be obtained by contacting Nintendo by telephone and requesting a physical copy of the book after verifying that you in fact did purchase a digital copy of the game via the Nintendo Network ID (NNID).

However, there are a few codes worth pointing out that aren't actually gameplay footage. By entering the code 0913, you can watch a video of Koji Kondo (Super Mario Bros. musical composer) playing a medley of music from Super Mario Bros. on an electric piano. By entering the code 1309, you can watch a video in which both Tezuka and Miyamoto sign their autographs on large white cards. These signatures can also be found at the back of the aforementioned booklet. The numbers 0913 and 1309 have significance as the original Super Mario Bros. was released on September (9th month) 13, 1985.
