Mario Maker Loading Issues

Mario Maker takes WAY too long to load the main menu and I can’t figure it out. I’ve disabled Miiverse, done the red light trick, and nothing works. What’s wrong with it??

Going to raise this up to @support-helper

What does that mean?

Which console is that? 3DS or Wii U?

The Console is wii U

press and hold the power (with the game inside the console) untill the light is red

New problem: It now gives me this error if I try to even enter Mario Maker:

Out of interest, are you on the latest version?

Is 5.5.6 the latest?

No, I meant the latest version of Super Mario Maker

I think i found the problem: I deleted the update data for Mario Maker because right after it downloaded it started freezing up, however after doing so it wouldn’t let me into the game. Could that be it? also I cant check the update because it does’nt even allow me to launch the game.

In short, would a data reset be the best option?

No.

Switch to Nintendo servers and download the update.

How do you switch servers?

First are you modded on Aroma, or are you using hackless SSSL DNS method?

Im using aroma, not hackless DNS

Okay, cool.

  1. Be on Wii U Menu
  2. Open Aroma Plugin Menu (L + D-Pad-Down + SELECT)
  3. Go to Inkay
  4. Turn it off for Pretendo
  5. Wii U menu will auto-restart when closing Plugin Menu
  6. It will say you have to re-enter your password; just cancel and open Mario Maker to download update
  7. Once it finishes, open Aroma Plugin menu and re-enable Inkay
  8. it will restart now on Pretendo
  9. Open Mario Maker game

It now manages to load the game, but now gets stuck at the loading screen:

The weird part is that it only affects Mario Maker, no other game I put in it is responding this way. I cant even exit to menu when Mario Maker does this. I have to shut down the console.

Sounds like it’s crashing.

Are you using the disc, or a digital install?
