Paper Mario returns this year with Paper Mario: Color Splash for Wii U, Nintendo has announced.

In Colour Smash Prism Island is being drained of colour, and only Mario’s Paint Hammer can return colour by painting everything it hits.

Nintendo also announced new content coming to Super Mario Maker. The 100 Mario Challenge’s Super Expert Difficulty will be added as a free update on March 9. Unlocked after players clear Expert mode, Super Expert includes six extremely tough courses. The update also adds 12 new Mystery Mushroom costumes to unlock and provides level creators with even more tools:

  • Shake a P Switch to turn it into a key, and shake a Door twice to turn it into a Key Door. Creators can make enemies hold keys – perfect for creating boss battles.
  • Shake a Coin to turn it into a Pink Coin: when players collect them all, a key appears.
  • Shake a Thwomp to turn it into a massive Spike Pillar from Super Mario World.
  • Additionally, the Super Mario Maker Bookmark site will be updated with ranking categories for world records and the number of first clears on courses.
