<p>There was a lo<em>t</em> to absorb during yesterday’s <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/wiiu/super_mario_maker">Super Mario Maker 2</a></strong> Direct presentation. We found out about the game’s story mode, new multiplayer options and extra game styles. Did you know, however, Japan received a <em>slightly</em> different Direct? Yep, the one Japanese viewers saw <em>might</em> have revealed even more information about the anticipated Switch release.</p>
<p>In one part of the 17-minute Japanese video, eagle-eyed viewers noticed an item wheel had nine slots. If you view the same segment in the western Super Mario Maker 2 <a class="external" href="https://youtu.be/jPi-u0D8sQ4?t=553">presentation</a>, you’ll see this same item wheel is limited to eight slots:</p>

<p>The wheel in the <a class="external" href="https://youtu.be/ct1GwHvNKME?t=544">Japanese presentation</a> features what appears to be a hammer power-up, alongside many other items such as stars and mushrooms which enhance characters in the game and give them new abilities. Take a look for yourself:</p>

<p>This discovery has many wondering if the Hammer Bros. suit from <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nes/super_mario_bros_3">Super Mario Bros. 3</a></strong> will appear in the sequel, while others seem to think it has some sort of link to Mario’s builder outfit. A Gamexplain video suggests the hammer could perhaps be similar to the pickaxe featured in <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/captain_toad_treasure_tracker">Captain Toad: Treasure Tracke</a></strong><strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/captain_toad_treasure_tracker">r</a></strong>.</p>
