6. Super Mario Maker

Super Mario Maker proved that designing video game levels can be as much fun as playing them. Nintendo’s game features an intuitive level editor that’s colourful and fun to use, turning the level-building process into a game. You can place Goombas and other enemies, as well as platforms, trampolines and other structures and have a fully functional level up and running in minutes.

And while using the editor with the Wii U’s touchpad is a joy, there’s a real sense of accomplishment in getting to share your creations online and receiving positive feedback from friends for instance. Super Mario Maker comes with a series of pre-built stages in its game mode called “the 10 Mario Challenge” for players to enjoy and play around with in the editor. The community has already come up with levels that wouldn’t be out of place in an official Mario game though, and other weird creations like a bowling game and side-scrolling shooters, this proving to be another Nintendo masterpiece and one of the best games you could play in 2015.
