LOS ANGELES (USA Today) — One of my favorite levels played in the upcoming video game Super Mario Maker is one where I never had to touch the controller.

It’s a signal of some of the creativity players can use when creating their own levels in Super Mario Maker, which launches on the Wii U on September 11.
Players can create levels modeled after four Super Mario titles: the original Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. Wii U.
