S Justin Haywald praised the game's course editor and its features, stating that 'the mix-and-match nature of allows for exciting and anachronistic additions to familiar scenarios'. In contrast, he also expressed disappointment in particular limitations, such as the absence of a checkpoint as seen in, and the vertical and horizontal limits of each stage.

S Griffin McElroy wrote positively of the game, saying he had 'a tremendous amount of fun playing, but the way it developed that newfound appreciation for something I've known my whole life was the game's biggest accomplishment'.The increasingly rich online library of has been individually showcased and praised by reviewers, and has been praised by Mario series co-creator. He described Nintendo's restraint in the gameplay difficulty of its own content, in the interest of mass appeal.
He expressed both appreciation and caution for the fact that the users do not necessarily share the same restraint in their creations.I expected that the users who wanted to play more of the hard courses would be attracted to Super Mario Maker. It was quite a surprise how much fun it was to watch the videos, without even playing myself. There are so many intriguing and inventive courses, like one which you couldn't beat if you picked up a mushroom. It's been a huge motivation for us developers to do better.The game would contribute to a resurgence in the community, which creates incredibly difficult levels to test players' patience and skill.However, many players criticized Nintendo for removing their online courses without warning or explanation.
Patrick Klepek of wrote that Nintendo should have made sure anyone creating levels for the game was aware of the company's strict policies regarding level creation so they would know what Nintendo would not find acceptable.
