Given that editors in Mario vs Donkey Kong and Smash Bros Brawl have also generally been successful, as has WarioWare DIY, I think adding such an editor to either New Super Mario Bros 2 or New Super Mario Bros for the Wii U would really extend the game’s replay value. Useful for a level editor, especially as you can generally figure out what’s doable before actually testing it. Similarly, the fact the tiles are generally simple means you can tell what parts are solid and which aren’t.

That’s the advantage of using a simple graphics style, it means a level editor for the game would be immediately useable and require no long hours of assembling random tiles just to get a decent looking level. Something like that would be extremely simple to make (since the tiles in NSMB are always either 16 x 16 or 24 x 24 pixels) and would also be extremely simple to use for Mario fans in general. Something like this is much, much easier to use for fans of the game, right? I think a New Super Mario Bros 2 or Mii editor would work much the same way, and might even look a bit like the mock up below (made with real tiles):
