The initial Pokémon series costumes are notable for lacking special sound effects, instead using the standard Super Mario Bros. The power-up sound effect may also be replaced by a different sound effect from the character's home series. In addition to appearance, various sound effects may also be changed to reflect the character, such as the jumping sound effects and 'Course Clear' fanfare. While Mario wears a costume, he cannot wear any Buzzy Shells or Spiny Shells or collect a Fire Flower. Ĭostume Mario functions the same as Super Mario, but with Small Mario's physical stature some of the costumes, however, are slightly larger. According to Takashi Tezuka, the art designers pitched the idea of changing Mario's sprites after drawing some of the amiibo characters in a pixel art style. This power-up was conceived after the development team was struggling to find an interesting and effective use of amiibo for the game.

Completing the 100 Mario challenge in a given difficulty gives a chance to unlock a costume from that difficulty or lower. Each costume that can be unlocked via the 100 Mario challenge can be unlocked randomly at a fixed difficulty tier. There are a total of 153 costumes in the game, consisting of 100 base costumes (95 of which can be unlocked by completing the 100 Mario Challenge), and 51 additional ones that are gained either from Event Courses, free updates, or as of update version 1.40, playing 100 Mario Challenge on the Normal, Expert, and Super Expert difficulty levels.

Costumes can also be unlocked through the 100 Mario Challenge mode, including the characters which have amiibo unlock conditions, or by completing certain Event Courses. In addition to amiibo characters, Mario can also transform into certain objects, such as a ? Block. Upon scanning certain amiibo onto the Wii U GamePad's, a pixel art version of the amiibo character will be unlocked in the course maker, allowing the player to use it any time from then on without having to scan the amiibo again. Also changes Mario's sprite to look like various characters from video games and other sources.Ĭostume Mario is the form Mario takes after touching a Mystery Mushroom, exclusive to the Wii U version of Super Mario Maker, allowing him to transform into numerous Nintendo and third-party characters, objects and groups or combinations thereof. Similar to Super Mario, but with Small Mario's size.
