Really cool way to commemorate it, but it's really sad how much amazing content that has been made will be lost forever.
At least as long as I kept a good battery in Mario Paint I could keep my creations indefinitely.
Oh well, Nintendo doing Nintendo things I guess.
Players should instead download as many levels as they can, and then with a hacked Wii u copy the levels to pc
I wouldn't be surprised if people made a server with all the levels and the ability to make more and share them on emulators. We already have multiplayer on emulators.
Already been done, there's a data dump of every MM1 course on archive.org. The dump is dated but it came after level uploads for MM1 were shut down so it should be about as complete as it gets, minus courses deleted by Nintendo before that.
Actually playing anything seems to be quite complex but there's some instructions in the reviews, so it should be doable for someone to set up a replacement server in the future (Pretendo network already has the basics for custom Wii U online running).
Nice!
I wonder if I have some, back in the day I downloaded everything that I could, even the amiibo courses.
Prime reason why all as a services suck and no one should ever consider using them.
The same thing happened to the Halo 3 forge maps and game modes. Though Bungie/Microsoft/343i did allow importing them into the Master Chief Collection before the actual shutdown.
I have to wonder how much space Mario maker 1 levels occupy on nintendo’s servers. What are the dimensions of a level? How many total levels? It could be surprisingly light. Too bad there’s no way to download what may be less than a terabyte of data.

Edit: I was right, less than a terabyte. https://archive.org/details/super_mario_maker_courses_202105
