Best Game Builder Garage games & codes

The ability to play other users’ games in Game Builder Garage is similar to that of Super Mario Maker 2. It’s a great opportunity for players to get inspiration for their own games or even for players that would rather play games than make them. Here are some Game Builder Garage games you should try out!

F-Zero

Finally, an F-Zero game on the Nintendo Switch. This creation pits players in the racing seat and asks them to do laps around a tight course.

Mario Kart

This is a rather impressive Mario Kart creation. What the track lacks in size, it makes up for in visual style. As the player races around the track, the character sprite will switch through the various Nintendo characters.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 level

Judging by this Super Mario Galaxy 2 creation, the platforming games in Game Builder Garage are only going to get better and better. There is some fantastic programming skill on display here.

Minecraft

Minecraft is already on the Nintendo Switch, but what’s amazing here is that someone has actually gotten it to run within a different game entirely. The sound and art style is on point in this game.

Ball

Fans of the Game & Watch can play the Ball game right now on the Nintendo Switch.

Sonic

The quick turnaround on these games is incredible, it’s even more amazing when it’s a fast-paced title like Sonic.

PAC-MAN: Definitive Edition

If the excellent PAC-MAN 99 isn’t enough for you, then you need to check out this user-created version of the famous pellet-munching title.

Homer Simpson game

I’m really not too sure what to call this Homer Simpson game. You pilot a Homer Simpson ship that must destroy Homer Simpson faces while dodging Homer Simpson obstacles. While this is happening, Homer Simpson art floats by in the background. It’s some kind of surreal experience.

Zelda, but first-person

This Game Builder Garage game takes the iconic Zelda game and makes it a first-person experience. You won’t be able to see everything going on around you, which immediately makes this more of a challenge.

Ocarina of Time town demo

Remember the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time demo that we saw way back in the early days of E3? Well, one clever user has managed to recreate that in Game Builder Garage.

Doom Eternal

Get more Doom Eternal into your life by playing this mind-blowing user created content. There are a lot of things happening on screen at once, and some impressive AI working in the backend. If this is what people are making in the early days, imagine what’s going to come later.

Superhot

Slow down time and destroy enemies in Superhot, which has now been made in Game Builder Garage. The fact that the designer has managed to code in the bullet-time is actually amazing.

P.T.

P.T. scared the pants off of a whole lot of PlayStation 4 users and now Nintendo Switch players can get in on the action. It might not have the same horrifying model of Lisa, but it’s still just as creepy.


These are but a handful of the excellent games on Nintendo’s Game Builder Garage. If you find any creations you love, be sure to drop the game ID in the Chatty thread below. Stop by the Shacknews Game Builder Garage page for our coverage of this unique game-creation game.
