To start, there's the upcoming Super Mario Maker with its multiple physics engines, the LittleBigPlanet games, and Mega Man Powered Up. My mind's drawing a blank on non-platformers, but I know there have to have been some racing games that have a feature like that in them.

Are we talking about solid games where the level editors/modding tools are a nice bonus or games where the creative element is the main draw?

If the latter, let's get the obvious ones out of the way: the LittleBigPlanet games, The Sims series, sandbox titles like Minecraft, Terraria and Starbound (and the upcoming Dragon Quest Builders whose very concept is a match made in heaven), and Mario Maker (which will be out this month).

Also, there was this game called Fight The Dragon on sale on Steam the other day which, iirc, was pretty much make your own Diablo or something like that? Have yet to try it out myself. And Lego Worlds looks amazing~

As for the first category, lessee... I really enjoyed Timesplitters: Future Perfect's level editor.

EDIT: Dagnabbit Bean :P But yeah, Powered Up had a nice level editor too. And might you be thinking of Modnation Racers or LittleBigPlanet Karting?

Oh, I also enjoyed building a lot of Lego Stunt Rally tracks as a kid.

I spent a lot of time messing around with the track editor in Diddy Kong Racing DS (especially with that wonderful music)

So here we are. Plays have been enacted. Empires have come and gone. The mightiest have passed away and withered, alike the least. Fires have burned, thousandfold. Yet, did not the great wind serenely continue its course? Does not the blackbird still sing its song? Does not the mistletoe still dwell in the oak's crown? Forgotten, what once has been told. Veiled, the words that once so rang out. Shrouded, like the larva in its cocoon. Let him hear it, who will.

DROD comes to mind. It's a turn-based puzzle game, and the level editor is exactly the same as the one used to make the actual games. There's some pretty elaborate user-made dungeons for it. (Also a lot of ridiculous rooms.)
