Mario Maker Itch Tool

This tool analyzes Itch.io pages hosting Mario Maker 2 content to extract structured metadata such as project title, author, tags, version history, download counts, file sizes, and asset lists. It is designed for developers, researchers, educators, and archivists who curate or study Mario Maker 2 content on Itch.io. By focusing on metadata and assets rather than gameplay data, it enables reliable inventory, auditing, and cross-project comparisons.\n\nConceptually the tool navigates Itch.io project pages, identifies standard metadata blocks, and parses asset listings with resilient fallbacks for incomplete pages. It normalizes identifiers, dates, and licenses where present, and stores results in a repeatable schema. Outputs support automated pipelines for release tracking, quality checks, and content governance. The approach emphasizes correctness, traceability, and compatibility with downstream analytics.\n\nUnique value includes a consistent schema across projects, delta history exports, and exportable JSON or CSV formats suitable for dashboards and AI ingestion. Use cases include cataloging a Mario Maker 2 asset library on Itch.io, auditing asset licensing and provenance, and linking projects to external documentation or version-control repositories. The tool supports researchers, educators, and maintainers who need reproducible results.\n\nCore features and differentiation include input via URLs or search terms, metadata enrichment, asset listing extraction, version history capture, and export options. It is designed for automation, with stable data contracts and error handling for missing pages or rate limits. This focus makes it robust for AI-assisted analysis and large-scale inventories.
