Inside, I saw large question block cushions scattered throughout and 25 Wii U (http://www.engadget.com/wii-u-review/nintendo-wii-u-review/) stations. Off in the corner was a Mario mascot, posing for photos in front of a big green pipe. If you thought I was in Nintendo Land, you'd be wrong. I was in Facebook's Menlo Park, California, offices. It was the second day of a two-day hackathon (https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/rbYU_dVszSxPZs_LfbO7v-XFGkCkOFca) collaboration with Nintendo, where employees had the opportunity to create levels with the upcoming game Super Mario Maker (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/16/super-mario-maker-september-11/). And the ultimate prize? The winning level design would be available to download when the game launches.
