How To Quickly Unlock All Parts In Super Mario Maker

How To Quickly Unlock All Parts In Super Mario Maker

Super Mario Maker came out over the weekend for the Wii U and it’s a very different foray into the world of the platforming super-plumber. Instead of attempting to complete adventures set before you by the masterminds of Nintendo, you get to create your own adventures. Well, in order to create some of those adventures you’ll need parts and some of those parts are locked. Thankfully, there are ways of unlocking the parts faster than by playing the game the right way and waiting patiently, because patience is for noobs.

There are a few guides up and available already showcasing how to unlock the parts in Super Mario Maker for the Wii U, including one from YouTuber Cutman Plays!. He has a very sleek two and a half minute video describing how you unlock the parts in a single day. Check it out below.

The game will give you a notice on when the new parts will unlock, this could range from sound effects to brick sets such as the haunted house set. Usually each new set will unlock every day for up to nine days. However, you can bypass this and unlock all the parts on a single day.

Basically you head into the editor – doesn’t matter what theme you use – and you build things for five minutes. Cutman suggests just pasting any kind of bricks down for the five minutes… doesn’t matter what kind of bricks.

Once you’ve pasted stuff into the level for five minutes you’ll need to exit the game entirely, head to the Wii U’s system settings and change the date to the same date as the one indicated on the menu notice. So if they say the ghost parts will be unlocked on September 15th, just change the date in the Wii U’s system settings to the 15th and then re-enter the game.

And there you have it, the parts will be unlocked.

You can rinse and repeat this method to unlock all the parts, sets, characters and effects in the game.

Cutman warns you that scribbling across the GamePad in a rather rowdy way might be a fast way to destroy your pad, so try not to be rowdy about it.

GamesBeat’s Jeffrey Grubb also has a video up that explains how to unlock the parts and it’s the same as Cutman’s method just with a bit more advice about level design and whether or not this method is worth it. Check it out below.

I do agree with Grubb that it would probably be best to just enjoy the game and unlock the parts naturally if you don’t want to risk any problems with messing with your system settings or using Cutman’s method of scribbling on your GamePad voraciously for five minutes.

YouTuber MasterofHyrule also has a video showing all the items and enemies available in the game so you can see what you have to work with. Check out the video below.

If unlocking levels and seeing all the enemies and items in the game isn’t much to your desired taste in exploring content via a second-hand basis, perhaps I can interest you in all of the Amiibo costume content located in the game?

YouTuber Luigikid Gaming has a video detailing all of the Amiibo items you can unlock in Super Mario Maker. The video clocks in at 12 minutes so sit back and enjoy.

Super Mario Maker is available right now, exclusively for the Wii U. You can pick up a copy of the game if you haven’t already or you can learn more about the game if you don’t already own it by paying a visit to the official website.
