This is a topic for what franchise should get the Mario Maker treatment. What game styles would there be, level themes, consoles released on, etc. can also be told here too.

Zelda would be an obvious one. Switch between original, ALttP, Oracle and Minish Cap styles and make simple quests and so on. Would take a bit more work than making a Mario level though. Kirby would also be an easy one.

A Legend of Zelda Maker.

How about Mega Man? oh wait...

A Kirby maker would be awesome, especially if you could make something like Kirby & the Amazing Mirror with it.

Yoshi's Island Maker would be cool. That would have way more potential depth than Super Mario Maker.

Super Monkey Ball with a level editor would be dope. And I don't count whatever that thing in Banana Splitz was. Other than that, TrackMania but that game already has a level editor :) I'm not sure what other franchises I would love to see try a level editor. None really, I guess.

Zelda Maker has my vote as well. A 3D Mario Maker would be cool as well, but I'm not sure how that would realistically work.

I'd like to see a Mario Kart maker. (Making a Mario Kart Wii race is ridiculously hard, though)

Sonic Maker Create courses by simply drawing them, after that the AI will simply determine the closest shape and size and change it into a tile with the closest shape and size. Add Shuttle loops, Corkscrew loops and other special level using tilebased system. After that, just drag and drop gameplay objects and characters as like Mario Maker. It could feature an advanced mode of the editor that allows you to change the level artwork (Pattern, Shape, Details and Colour) and background using pre-made assets/options, along with the option to add the editable scenery by yourself. Could be pretty cool to see that.

Going outside Nintendo franchises, a Shovel Knight Maker would be pretty cool. I've been playing Spectre of Torment a lot lately and was surprised how different the levels feel even though they use the same tilesets. Yacht Club used Tiled to design levels so their development tools are already user-friendly. Three playable characters and an enormous amount of enemies and gimmicks would give people a lot to work with. Another great thing are the minute-long challenges the games feature. If people feel intimidated about creating huge levels, they could string together a few screens to make an official-looking platforming challenge.

I'd love to see a Mario Maker-like game for Zelda, Yoshi's Island, or the DKC series. I have a feeling that designing good levels for those games would be more time-intensive than making stuff for Mario Maker, though.

Super Smash Makers! Basically just Super Smash Bros. but with a far more robust stage editor and a greater overall focus on custom stages. They could also cut back on the overall character count, but greatly expand upon the character customization concept introduced in Smash 4 and allow for the use of custom characters in public online play. For the stage editor aspect, imagine what we have in Smash 4, just with...more. More backgrounds, more hazards and gimmicks, WAY more ground textures, a healthy blend of generic and Nintendo-themed decorative objects, and as an added bonus, the ability to draw a background layer in the same manner as the foreground layer. And finally, for the cherry on top, you could even change the colors of ambient lighting, highlights, and shadows independently to give your stage its own unique atmosphere. During online play, the game would pick and stream a completely random stage from the servers; after the match, you can give the stage a star, and if you REALLY liked it, you can download it to your system memory and play on it in singleplayer, use it during matches with friends, and make it a map in your own online tournaments. If you don't want to play completely random maps and want to show off stages of your own, there would also be an option to matchmake into lobbies where players take turns choosing their own maps for the fights to take place on. Would it be a viable competitive e-sport? Probably not. Would it be a blast? Probably.

I would agree with Ψιδ (a Greek transliteration of Psid) here because of the fact that Sonic would fit well. Sonic is known for the slopes and curves, and designing levels in a Sonic Maker would be fun, and would be exactly what the fans want. ("OH MY GOD THAT IS SO CRINGY")

Metroid

Zelda would be amazing, metroid would be pretty cool too. sonic would make sense, but I'm not really a sonic fan so it probably wouldn't catch my interest.

[quote="thedinoking"]Metroid[/quote] This. There are some pretty good Metroidvania-ish levels in Mario Maker, so there's potential. But since 99.999% of MM levels are really bad, I doubt any other series would work out lol

I want a Transistor or Ori maker game. Tons upon tons of potential for both.
