The good folks behind Super Mario Maker are constantly updating the surprise hit of 2015 with new costumes for players to win and transform their 8-bit sprites to the character of their liking. And following the release of Chitoge Kirisaki from the Nisekoi manga, Nintendo has announced the next Super Mario Maker costume to be won will be Barbara the Bat.

Of course, if you have the Wolf Link amiibo that comes with the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, you can also get your hands on the Wolf Link costume for Super Mario Maker, but Barbara the Bat will be made available by completing the latest Event Course in the game.

The Barbara the Bat Event Course will be available the evening of Feb. 25.

Check out the official Nintendo announcement trailer for Barbara the Bat below.

For those not familiar with Barbara the Bat, she is the main guitarist and probably the most popular character in the Daigasso! Band Brothers game. The game and its sequels have only been made available in Japan, with Jam with the Band being the lone exception, being released in Europe in 2010.

In the game she also runs the store, which players can visit to buy all sorts of items. Barbara the Bat also makes an appearance in Master of Illusion as the host and owner of a magic shop.
