This is a hardly a new idea but nice to see it applied to a famous franchise like Mario. Little Big Planet is 2D platformer released in 2008 whose maps were designed built in house through their own level editor. They provided a (Stephen Fry narrated, dear lord) interactive tutorial and a complete system to share levels and play with your friends. There _were_ some performance issues with some of the more complicated levels and the PS3's limited RAM maintaining a big ole physics engine. But since this is just Mario, level complexity shouldn't be a problem. Still, I don't know if Mario provides enough variety to remain interesting for years. THEN AGAIN - there is a kid born every day who's never played a Mario game before, maybe things should stay simple.
