Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS is a side-scrolling platform video game and game creation system developed and published by Nintendo for the 3DS game console, which released worldwide in December 2016. Players are able to create and play their own custom courses, based on Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U and share them locally or StreetPass. Over time new editing tools are unlocked through gameplay, allowing players to download or play courses designed by other players.

Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS has received mixed reviews, with reviewers praising the game for being portable and a great way to introduce kids to the Mario series but has received criticism for lack of features such as uploading courses online or common course elements in its Wii U version.
