Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS

About this game
Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS is a port of the Wii U game, Super Mario Maker , allowing players to create and play their own Mario platform game levels, as well as play through many other previously-created ones.
The most drastic difference between this game and the original is the fact that the 3DS version does not allow for the players to upload the courses they create on the Internet.

Players can, however, share their courses with each other via StreetPass or Local Play.
The game comes with 100 exclusive courses, not available in the Wii U version.
These courses have different goals (like collecting every coin in the level, for instance), which will earn the player medals upon completion.
Almost every other aspect of the game remains the same as its Wii U counterpart, aside from a few details such as the absence of some small elements (like the Big Mushrooms and the Gnat Attack minigame).
Even though it is a 3DS title, the game does not feature stereoscopic 3D.
About Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
