Cool! Thanks for the info. I assumed there was something to it but I couldn't find any solid info on it. What you explained totally makes sense though.
Although Mario maker comes in a yellow box containing an art/idea booklet, the game itself is in a red case.
Damn... this is going to make me anal now.. So far I have been lucky and all of my Mario games are in red cases but now i'm gonna have to insure my future purchases match.
Thanks again for the info Leo_A!
