Just spent the day rushing to play and download as many of the best Mario Maker 1 levels I could find before the servers shut down. And even despite all those amazing levels I found, I still chose to keep some room for many of the old crappy levels I made when I was 11 (except for "Sextuple Giant Bowser Fight". I think I'll let that level become lost media). I think that shows exactly what makes this game so special. Mario Maker captured the imaginations of players and created a sense of unity and community like no other. Truly an incredible game that gave way to so much creativity and passion, and I will truly miss this game and this era. I played this game on its release date and now I've played this game on its death date. Rest in peace Mario Maker 1.

Ok but as much as I love this game, I have to say it: The fact that this game has the same rating as Mario Maker 2 is blasphemy. That game's way better in almost every way. Amiibo costumes and a better level creation UI are not tradeoffs for every single thing the sequel added.
