Not a long time to wait, but I hate this concept. It's what got me to stop playing Splatoon.

Also, some have modifiers right, so shaking them may reveal more options.
If I'm not mistaken, the propeller mushroom replaces the mystery mushroom when using the NSMBU style. Same for the Leaf and Feather.
Plus there's a mushroom that gives mario luigi physics apparently.
Mystery mushroom, super leaf, cape feather, and propeller mushroom are all exclusive to their specific style.
Kuribo's shoe and Yoshi are mutually exclusive to SMB1/SMB3 and SMW/NSMBU respectively, as well. Kuribo's shoe has been modified to allow you to dismount it as you can yoshi, and the stiletto version can apparently ground pound. Enemies can ride kuribo's shoe but they cannot ride yoshi.
And of course a lot of objects can be shaken to get variations.
trampoline -> sideways trampoline
green koopa troopa -> red koopa troopa
piranha plant -> venus fire trap
lakitu -> lakitu's cloud
spiny -> spiny helmet
moving platform -> falling platform
bullet bill blaster -> red bullet bill blaster (shoots bullseye bills)
blooper -> blooper nanny + kids
green cheep cheep -> red cheep cheep
background platform -> different textures
hammer bro -> sledge bro
buzzy beetle -> buzzy beetle helmet. There are also red buzzy beetles, not sure how you make them.
Bowser -> Bowser Jr.
Note block -> music block
Skull raft (collapses after few seconds) -> blue skull raft (infinite)
Rocky wrench -> monty mole (most likely)
Bob-omb -> short-fuse bob-omb
Cannon -> red cannon
Spike top (why is this its own tool?) -> blue spike top
Boo -> circling boo buddies -> stretch (most likely)
Wiggler -> angry wiggler
Kuribo's shoe -> kuribo's stiletto -> red kuribo's stiletto
Mushroom platform -> different colors
Chain chomp -> unchained chomp
That's everything we've seen in the game and I'm pretty sure everything else is unshakeable.
You must be thinking of the mystery mushroom. It just makes Mario look like Luigi. There's been nothing about Luigi physics.
Oh, so that's what the skinny mushroom does. I'm assuming that it's one of the mystery mushroom's options. There are mystery mushrooms beyond the amiibos, such as the one that turns Mario into random objects such as a goomba, block, and trampoline.
Yoshi can only be placed as an egg. You can't shake it and I'm pretty sure it can't be modified in any way. Yoshi hatches immediately. You can place many eggs, but only up to 2 yoshis will hatch if more than one is on the screen. The rest of the eggs will hatch into super mushrooms.

What does Yoshi look like in SMB and SMB3 style? Or are not all elements available in all styles?
A few posts up:

So when and where can we pre-order that limited edition Amiibo version for the US? I want to get in on the ground floor this time so I don't have to spend double on eBay again like I did for the Wind Waker Gannondorf LE.

I just caught myself wondering what the Iwata Asks for Mario Maker will be like, then I got really sad. 
I just thought of something....
My oldest son is almost 4 and loves Mario kart with tilt controls but struggles with 2d/3d Mario where you need to navigate with buttons.
With this, I can create very basic levels for him to play. Like the first level being a straight walk to the end with a goomba or two there. Let him beat that and then put a pit and a couple of pipes to traverse.
Training wheels for him to get into Mario.

Can't wait to see the Sonic sprite
Pac-Man's amiibo sprite is neat.
Woaah I seriously still can't believe what I'm seeing. It's like a dreamy Photoshopped pic. Pac-Man officially in a Super Mario Bros game. <3 Looks great!

It better be the Master System one.

And I hope the trio of 3rd party characters mantain their classic sounds when jumping and running as well.

this is the first game I'm getting that has amiibo stuff that I want. is there any way to get this stuff besides buying toys?
You can unlock without Amiibos
Good, because if not then it would be impossible to play as Villager, Little Mac, Rosalina, Ness and all of those amiibo unicorns that are impossible to get right now.

Why no Mario 2 levels... this kinda blows, after Super Mario Bros 3, Mario 2 was my very favorite. Also why hasnt there been any mario games that resemble Mario 2, the music the art style in that game were fantastic, it's as if they never wanted or bothered making another one like it.
Kinda bummed at this.
Edit : I have found this interesting interview with the creator of Mario 2 and why it's not in Mario Maker.

Yeah, Mario 2 is cool and all, but it plays fundamentally different from the other 4 styles with the whole "pickup enemies" thing and doesn't share many of the same enemies or elements. Would be cool to do if they were embracing more of the differences rather than similarities between the 4 games.

Wait wait wait, I just watched the trailer and it said you had to play for at least 5 mins each day for the new items to unlock. I thought they would all just be unlocked for everyone after the 9 day period. If this isn't the case then I'll be pretty pissed off. I'm getting the game 2 weeks after it comes out so I thought this problem wouldn't affect me.
I'm so disappointed.
I'm so disappointed.
That's because it's a normal game unlock, not a server side thing.

They already adapted SMB2's mechanics into a slightly more normalized form for Super Mario Advance 4: SMB3's e-Reader stages.
Not sure why people keep acting like Super Mario USA wasn't a big seller in Japan...
As someone who was actually introduced to the series with SMB2 I really wish they could do something for future dlc. I dream of the day I can make my own Phanto levels to terrorize this new generation of Mario kids.
Pac-Man's amiibo sprite is neat.
I'm sorta disapointed it's not the PacLand Sprite.
Granted the PacLand sprite is sorta big so maybe that's that excuse.
Wait for Super Luigi Labourer dlc and standalone package
Looks very much like the Japanese Pacland sprite to me.

It's not that fundamentally different if it worked in SMA4 and fans have made fangames mixing the styles, the 2 styles mix really well. Just leave the potion out. The ice flower also reminds me a lot of SMB2 with the way you handle enemies with it.
The pipe just connects to another blank map. You can give it any level theme you want. What you can't do is have different game themes.
You can't detect that in a day though, you would have to gate it off for months.
But I don't think this is meant to find talent, I find the gating to speak more from contempt than hope.

How many blank maps can you connect? How big a level can you actually create?

Only 2.
In the latest Nintendo Voice Chat Brian Altano mentions that when he was making his level for the challenge he hit a limit while placing lava bubbles. Not only was he not allowed to place any more of that level element, it also greyed out a ton of other elements as well.
He put 1 lava bubble on every column for almost the entire first half of the stage before he hit the limit, so the level probably had around 100 of them when the limit was reached. This isn't a final copy of the game, but it's disconcerting if the limits are this strict. His level was pretty sparse.

I wouldn't call 28 "enemies" on one screen "pretty sparse".

I assume they have to ensure that the framerate remains stable.
