The originalSuper Mario Makeris shutting down a bit sooner than anticipated. TheSuper Mario MakerBookmark website was scheduled to close thesame day Mario is to die(at least according to the internet), on June 12, 2025. But the website appears to be have been shut down a few days early.
TheoriginalSuper Mario Makerwill no longer be supportedas of March 31. This means that players will no longer be able to upload new courses for the creator, as the game was already removed from the digital eShop back in January of this year. On top of that, the browser-based Bookmark site also was set to no longer be supported on that same March date. But something looks to have gone amiss, as demolition plans for the game may have been moved forward.

A quick browse to theSuper Mario MakerBookmark site results in a 503 error. It would be a surprise to see the site come back online now, considering the fact that it is scheduled to be shut down in just a few days. The full list of things that will no longer be supported forSuper Mario Makerfor Wii U includes the Bookmark website, the ability to upload courses, updating the ranking of liked courses, looking up bookmarked courses, and more.
To be clear, this is the Wii U title that will soon be no longer supported, not thevery well-receivedSuper Mario Maker 2for the Nintendo Switch. The creative platforming level and game-making tool is one of the Switch’s best-selling games to date, and that will likely continue.
The timing ofSuper Mario Makerbeing shut down is very intriguing, as it is a part of the long list ofMariogames that are being delisted, shut down, and taken off of shelves on March 31. The35th Anniversary ofSuper Marioends on a sour notein that fantastic and belovedMariogames will soon be no more, or very hard to obtain.
On one extreme,Super Mario 3D All-Starsis already being scalpedbecause it will soon be unavailable to purchase physically and digitally, meaning the only way to play the game will be to have already bought it before it was delisted. Meanwhile, a game likeSuper Mario Bros. 35will soon be completely impossible to play, as it is being shut down altogether. WhileSuper Mario Maker 2is available to enjoy, it certainly feels odd thatSuper Mario Makeris a part of the March 31 Mario armageddon, and that the game will be mostly unplayable in just a few days.
Super Mario Makeris no longer available to purchase digitally on Wii U.
