Get ready for some Starfy action in Super Mario Maker. A costume modeled after the adorable star-shaped character is on its way to the Wii U platformer. It seems like a natural fit for Starfy, who is the star of his own platforming series – The Legendary Starfy. You can see how Starfy moves about in Super Mario Maker in the trailer below:
A Starfy Costume Is Coming To Super Mario Maker

so Mario can be any character he wants in Mario maker,that’s pretty cool.
It’s more of a unlocking of certain characters based on scores and certain accomplishments when playing levels, at least that’s my take on it. I’m sure you can unlock others through other ways and receive them as downloads.
I don’t play the game so I’m sure someone can comment and correct anything I fuddled up.
But in short, yes you can play the game as different iconic game characters.
Master Chief is on the way… :)
Master Chief will definately not be one of them.
Awe COME ON man! Have FAITH. :]
I have faith that he will not be in the game because I have common sense.
A little common sense, and no sense of humor. Got it, obviously.
Ffs, this place is becoming very lame.
And how do I expect you to be joking?
Is it not obvious?
There are people who seriously asked for this so no not really
Eh, I still think it would be obvious.
It’s a non-issue because it’s not going to happen. No reason to beat around the bush about this.
Starly when?
People actually complained that Starfy wasn’t in the game, just like Daisy. It’s awesome that nintendo keeps listening like this
I have this Starfy game on DS. But I never played it.
