One day after the big Super Mario 35th Anniversary Direct that revealed a bunch of new games, Nintendo confirmed a milestone for an existing title on Twitter. There are now 20 million player-created Super Mario Maker 2 courses available. There’s even a new image to celebrate the occasion.
This comes alongside some other special announcements for the game. New substantial content isn’t on the way, but there will be a new Ninji Speedrun to celebrate the series’ 35th anniversary. It was brought up during the direct, and since then Nintendo also shared a screenshot on Twitter offering a very brief hint of what people can expect from the new challenge when it ends up being available sometime in November 2020.

The last hallmark for the game came back in January 2020. That’s when Nintendo said there were 10 million Super Mario Maker 2 courses in Course World.
Super Mario Maker 2 is available for the Nintendo Switch. You can also find the original Super Mario Maker on the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U.
