With the recent release of the Super Mario Maker game for the Wii U console, Nintendo has a new way to measure fan engagement, beyond sales: level creation.
Today it was revealed that more than 1 million units of Super Mario Maker have been sold around the world since its launch on Sept. 11th 2015.
The addition of 1 million new “fan” developers has led to the creation of more than 2.2 million Super Mario courses -levels-, which combined have been played nearly 75 million times.
Using the touch screen of the Wii U GamePad controller, Super Mario Maker players can create levels in four different Super Mario game styles. The game offers dozens of enemies, items and power-ups, and lets people design everything from the terrain to where to place Warp Pipes. Completed levels can then be uploaded and enjoyed by other players around the world.
From the very begining, of the Super Mario franchise, more than 310 million units of the game have been sold and counting.
