Shulk, Sonic and Mega Man will be playable in Super Mario Maker

Screenshots posted to Miiverse have revealed his and other characters’ in-game sprites in action, despite the game still being under a strict embargo.

With compatibility with over 70 Amiibo, Super Mario Maker is a lot more than meet’s the eye. The game enables users to easily create their own Mario courses and share them online with people all over the world. In Super Mario Maker, players will be able to hide a variety of other items inside the blocks, including enemies, so you better be careful when hitting one, you might not be getting that power-up you need to complete a stage.

I personally don’t have a copy of the game yet, so I’ve found myself watching the dang title screen for Super Mario Maker over and over, courtesy of GameXplain.

A few have popped up on the Miiverse, as scoped by GoNintendo. You can see Sonic in the game below.

Meanwhile, players in the United Kingdom who are planning to purchase the game can avail several freebies just by pre-ordering “Super Mario Maker” starting today. It also brings to an end whatever was left of the rivalry between Nintendo and Sega which was at its most ferocious during the lifetime of the Super Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive.

At E3 we had a first-hand look at the new Super Mario Marker which will release on September 11th in North America.

IBTimes UK has reached out to Nintendo for confirmation that Sonic does appear in the game.
