As of March 31, 2021, it will no longer be possible to upload courses in the Super Mario Maker™ game for the Wii U™ system. On the same day, the Super Mario Maker Bookmark website will also close. As a result, the Wii U version of Super Mario Maker will be removed from Nintendo eShop on January 12, 2021. For players who purchased the game digitally prior to its removal, it will still be possible to redownload the game after this date.

It's definitely some sad news as SMM1 was one of the reasons to still keep playing the Wii U after the Switch and even SMM2 came out. It has some unique features like amiibo costumes, 100 man challenge, pipe stacking, and placing conveyor belts under pipes that are not in the sequel. While course uploading and the bookmark site will be discontinued, at least we will still be able to revisit old levels.
