Game Style

Game Styles are the different graphical styles in Super Mario Maker. While the first four (Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros U) have near identical course parts, the Super Mario 3D World style has exclusive parts, as well as parts that it can't use. However, each game style has several exclusive powerups (see in their individual articles).

Super Mario Bros
This is the basic style for the game. In it, the player is unable to pick and throw items (unless they have the SMB2 Mushroom power-up), spin-jump, or wall-jump which makes it ideal for music levels.

Super Mario Bros 3
This is the second style for the game. In it, the player can pick up and throw items (such as the POW Block), but they can't spin-jump or wall-jump, which makes it popular for blue platform levels

Super Mario World
The third style in the game. In it, the player is able to pick up and throw items, as well as spin-jump, which breaks brick blocks instead of spinning them. However, the player is unable to wall-jump.

New Super Mario Bros U
The fourth and final main style in the game, the player is able to pick up items, spin-jump, and wall-jump. However, the player can't break brick block while spin jumping.
