While the bundle is the whopping price of $299, it comes with the complete Wii U console, a download code for Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker idea book, and an 8-bit Mario that was created for Mario’s 30th anniversary.

Why this bundle is so great

This bundle is perfect for the creative mind who prefers to design instead of compete against the AI. There have been Wii U bundles in the past for Mario Kart, but this bundle stands out with a theme of Super Mario Maker, emphasizing creativity.

If you haven’t been following information regarding Super Mario Maker, I can tell you it’s a game that Nintendo has produced. From amiibo interaction to level customization, the user is in full control of designing Mario levels to their preference. By integrating personal sound effects through the microphone and costumes for Mario, every level can be wholly original.
