Keys with locked doors, skewers from Super Mario World, and Super Expert difficulty will release on March 9 in Super Mario Maker, shown off during today's Direct.

Keys can be hidden in the stage or in an enemy, creating mandatory boss battles, or be locked behind a handful of pink "key coins."

Super Hard difficulty will unlock new costumes. Tetra from Windwaker was shown.

Super Mario Maker's Bookmark site will also add new rankings and features.

I think the pink coins have a lot of potential. That might be the things that brings me back into making levels again.

Interesting. I'll probably be using those keys, though unfortunately, they are just going to make troll levels even worse.

The Super Expert category was a nice way to prevent truly terrible levels from entering into the Expert mode. I shudder to think of the misery from specifically seeking out the worst of the worst...

I have never beaten the Expert 100 Mario mode ever due to troll levels so if they move in into their own weird category that will be great.

They already did this a while back to keep those levels out of Expert. Super Expert just wasn't a mode you could play before this upcoming update, but it was a category you could see on the bookmark website and those levels already don't appear in Expert mode.

Those keys and doors are going to push things to a whole other level of messed up. Exciting!

Interesting how they fixed the problem of SMB1 not being able to pick up objects by making the key hover around you.
