Spotlight is the latest (and best) Editor for Super Mario 3D World on the Nintendo Wii U.
It has a boatload of features allowing you to make your very own levels, toad houses, mystery boxes, and more!
- OpenGL 3.0+
- Windows 8+
- .NET 7.0+ Desktop Runtime (download here)
A full guide to Spotlight can be found on the Spotlight Wiki.
On the original version of Spotlight, you needed to download GL_EditorFramework's source separately in order to compile it.
This is not the case anymore - All you need to do is clone the repository* and you are good to go!
You may want to use dotnet build or your IDE of preference.
Additionally, you could use the building scripts in the repository.
* Make sure you use git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Jenrikku/Spotlight-NET.git
in order to clone dependencies (submodules) as well.
If you need help with the program or editing the game, you can Join the Cat Chat (). You can talk to other SM3DW hackers here as well as show your own hacking accomplishments.
