Super Mario Make Addresses 9-Day Wait

Super Mario Maker's level editor doesn't offer all of it's tools right out of the gate. You need to play at least 5 minutes everyday to unlock tool the following day after playing. It will take more than a week to get access to all the game has to offer. (It's going to take longer if you don't/can't play daily). While the system still remains in place, a patch has been released stating "Conditions for increasing the amount of usable parts (for level editor) were added". The exact mechanics are unclear but multiple players claimed they have unlocked content by placing a lot of items(such as blocks in a level) or after waiting for two hours and half.
