'''''Super Mario Maker 2''''' is a 2D/{{wp|2.5D}} [[Genre#Platform|platforming]] and level-editing game released worldwide for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on June 28, 2019 and is the sequel to the 2015 [[Wii U]] game ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. First announced during the Nintendo Direct broadcast on February 13, 2019, it is the twenty-first entry in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]].<ref>スーパーマリオブラザーズ35周年. "[https://twitter.com/supermario35th/status/1301648749907902464 1985-2020年「今日の思い出マリオ」と題して、本日から少しずつ35年間のマリオタイトルを振り返っていきます。ハッシュタグの #思い出マリオ が目印です。どうぞお楽しみに。]" (Japanese text). ''[https://twitter.com/home Twitter]''. Published 03 Sept 2020. Accessed 13 Apr 2023.</ref> The game expands on its predecessor with new features such as a 2.5D level style based on ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', which incorporates some gameplay aspects from the 3D platformer, including the [[Super Bell]] power-up; new level themes, such as desert, snow, sky, and forest; further terrain options such as slopes; and a nighttime feature, which alters many course elements. In addition to [[Mario]], now [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], and [[Toadette]] are playable in both single-player and new co-operative and competitive multiplayer modes locally or online. An offline, single-player Story Mode is also featured in the game, which contains over 100 pre-installed courses made by Nintendo.

The following controls are listed in [[#Yamamura's Dojo|Yamamura's Dojo]]. In the default setting, {{button|switch|X}} and {{button|switch|A}} can be used in place of {{button|switch|Y}} and {{button|switch|B}} for dashing and jumping, respectively. The player can visit the "Settings" option to change the dash controls to {{button|switch|Y}} and {{button|switch|B}} and the jump controls to {{button|switch|X}} and {{button|switch|A}}, similar to the NES games, ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''.

|[[Charge jump]]

In Story Mode, after [[Mario]], [[Toadette]] (referred to as "Chief" in this mode), [[Toad]] (referred to as "Taskmaster" in this mode), and several other [[Toad (species)|Toads]] have just finished building [[Princess Peach]]'s [[Peach's Castle|castle]], Undodog accidentally steps on a button that causes a [[Reset Rocket]] to erase the whole castle. As such, Mario needs to collect coins to rebuild it. To earn coins, the player can play through a total of 120 official courses produced by Nintendo in the form of "jobs" given by the Taskmaster. After clearing a course, Mario keeps the coins he collected in the course and is also awarded a coin payment. Some of the levels also feature Toads that need to be rescued. Other NPCs including Mr. Eraser and Undodog can also assign jobs for Mario. Like Endless Challenge, up to three extra lives can be received per job, but the current number of lives always defaults to five when entering a different job. The main hub is set in and around Peach's castle in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, and the player can explore more parts of the castle as they progress through the mode. Luigi, Toad, and Toadette are not playable in Story Mode. Completing all jobs rewards the player with the Robot Cap and Suit.

Course World, the online hub in which players can access levels created and uploaded by other players, returns from ''Super Mario Maker''. In addition to being able to browse popular courses, searching by course ID, and download courses, players can now search courses by specific parameters such as style, theme, difficulty, and region, similar to the search function on the {{plain link|[https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/ ''Super Mario Maker'' Bookmark]}} website. Courses can also be searched by tags that have been applied to them, such as "Puzzle-solving" and "Autoscroll". There is also a Hot Courses tab, which shows courses that have a small number of likes, and a New Courses tab, which shows newly uploaded courses. Feedback can be given to courses in the form of text, drawings, or one of 12 [[Gallery:Super Mario Maker 2#Stamps|''Super Mario''-themed stamps]], and instead of granting stars, players can choose to vote on courses positively or negatively by selecting the "I like it!" or "Boo!" buttons respectively, which are also used in group votes during online play. As in the first ''Super Mario Maker'', the clear rate, world record, and first clear are recorded for every course.

|Ground at a 45-degree angle that players can slide down, with a 1:1 horizontal-to-vertical ratio. The direction and length of the slope can be changed. The stair variants do not affect the slope's function.

|A block that players can break as any form other than Small Mario. Brick Blocks can hold various items and enemies. In underground- and forest-themed levels in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, they become [[Crystal Block]]s.

|A block containing a single [[Coin]]; when hit, it turns into an [[Empty Block]]. Other elements can be placed inside instead.

|A solid block that mainly serves as a platform, though a strong force such as that of a [[Banzai Bill]] or [[Big Mario]] jumping on it can break it. In the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, they take the form of [[Rock Block]]s.

|A type of platform that falls if players stand on it long enough.

|A block that bounces players and any elements that land on it up.

|A type of platform that can be passed through from below, similar to [[Semisolid Platform|Semisolid]] and [[Mushroom Platform]]s.

|{{SMM2 modifiers|[[Yoshi Egg|Yoshi's Egg]]|mushroom=1|wings=1}}

|{{SMM2 modifiers|[[Goomba]]|mushroom=Big Goomba|wings=Paragoomba|parachute=1}}

|Goombas walk along the ground and can be defeated by stomping on them. In the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, Goombas chase the player upon spotting them.

|{{SMM2 modifiers|'''[[Goombrat]]'''|mushroom=Kodeka Kakibō|wings=1|parachute=1}}

|An alternate form of the Goomba. Goombrats act like Goombas, except that they turn around when they reach an edge. They float around in the air in the nighttime ground theme.

|An alternate form of the Galoomba. Goombuds act like Galoombas, except that they turn around when they reach an edge. They float around in the air in the nighttime ground theme.

|When stomped on, Koopa Troopas retreat into their [[shell]]s; in the ''Super Mario World'' and ''Super Mario 3D World'' styles, they become [[Beach Koopa]]s. Their shells can then be held and thrown by players. Green Koopa Troopas walk off edges and bounce along the ground when [[Koopa Paratroopa|given wings]].

|

|

|Ant Troopers can walk on walls and ceilings, but cannot be defeated with a normal stomp, instead requiring a [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]].

|Buzzy Beetles act similar to Koopa Troopas, but are immune to fireballs. When given wings, they become [[Parabeetle]]s.

|

|

|Spinies have spikes on their shells, which damage players if they land on them normally. Spinies are also thrown by Lakitus. While thrown or underwater, Spinies take the form of [[Spiny Egg]]s. When they are given wings, they occasionally retract into their Spiny Egg forms and shoot spines in the four cardinal directions.

|Bloopers can be placed on land or underwater, where they move erratically towards players. On land, they can be defeated with a stomp. In the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, they cannot pass through walls or blocks.

|Thwomps crash down from above when players approach one, then move back up to their original location. They can also be set to attack horizontally. In the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, they are safe to touch, but can instantly take out players by squishing them.  

|

|

|

|Chain Chomps occasionally lunge towards players from their set positions.

|[[File:SMM2 SMW Spike Enemy Sprite.png|50px]]

|colspan=2|[[File:SMM2 NSMBU Spike Enemy Sprite.jpg|50px]]

|Spikes produce and throw [[Spike Ball]]s at players, which fly forward (''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' styles) or roll along the ground (''Super Mario World'', ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''Super Mario 3D World'' styles). Additionally, they walk forward in the former styles and stand still in the latter styles. In snow-themed levels, they produce [[snowball]]s instead, similarly to [[Snow Spike]]s.

|[[File:SMM2 SMB Spikeball Enemy Sprite.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 SMB3 Spikeball Enemy Sprite.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 SMW Spikeball Enemy Sprite.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 NSMBU Spikeball Enemy Sprite.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 SM3DW Spikeball Enemy Sprite.jpg|50px]]

|Spike Balls are hazards that either fly forward or roll along the ground, and break when they collide into a wall. They are produced and thrown by Spikes as their main attack. They can also appear on their own as an alternate form of Spike.

|colspan=2|[[File:SMM2 SMB Snowball Enemy Sprite.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 NSMBU Snowball Enemy Sprite.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 SM3DW Snowball Enemy Sprite.jpg|50px]]

|{{SMM2 modifiers|[[Wiggler]]|mushroom=Big Wiggler|wings=1|parachute=1}}

|Wigglers walk back and forth without actively attacking players, but become angry when stomped on.

|Boos slowly float towards players when their backs are turned, but freeze when they face them. When placed on the ground without modifiers, they become [[Stretch]]es, which hide in the ground and occasionally emerge while moving back and forth.

|An alternate form of the Boo. Boo Buddies are a group of Boos that spin in a circular formation, though players can safely pass through an opening in the circle.

|Lava Bubbles periodically leap out from the bottom of the screen. If the player is wearing a Goomba Mask, they will stay the bottom of the screen.

|{{SMM2 modifiers|[[Dry Bones]]|mushroom=Big Dry Bones|wings=Parabones|parachute=1}}

|Dry Bones crumble when stomped on, but emerge back up after a period of time. In the ''Super Mario World'' style, they can throw bones at Mario.

|[[File:SMM2 Pokey SMB Icon.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 Pokey SMB3 Icon.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 Pokey SMW Icon.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 Pokey NSMBU Icon.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 Pokey SM3DW Icon.jpg|50px]]

|Pokeys move slowly along the ground, damaging players upon contact. Their heights can be adjusted, and they can be defeated with [[fireball]]s and [[Yoshi]]. Damaging the head will immediately defeat the Pokey.

|[[File:SMM2 Snow Pokey SMB Icon.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 Snow Pokey SMB3 Icon.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 Snow Pokey SMW Icon.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 Snow Pokey NSMBU Icon.jpg|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2 Snow Pokey SM3DW Icon.jpg|50px]]

|Bowser Jr. occasionally retreats into his shell and dashes towards players. While inside a Koopa/Junior Clown Car, he can throw Green Shells at players, though if a Clear Condition to defeat a certain number of Koopa Troopas is set, he throws Bob-ombs instead. He is defeated after three stomps.

|In the four main game styles, Boom Boom chases after players, occasionally jumping into the air. When attacked, he crouches while protruding his spikes out. In the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, he spins around before making himself dizzy. When attacked, he dashes in his shell, similar to Bowser Jr. He is defeated after three stomps. Giving him wings will cause him to fly around in the air.

|[[File:SMM2-SMB-Mechakoopa.png|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2-SMB3-Mechakoopa.png|50px]]

|[[File:SMM2-SMW-Mechakoopa.png|50px]]

|🗸

|Mechakoopas behave similar to green Koopa Troopas, and can be jumped on, carried or kicked around, and thrown at enemies. They get back up if left alone for a period of time after being knocked down.

|[[File:Blasta SMB1.png|50px]]

|[[File:Blasta SMB3.png|50px]]

|[[File:Blasta SMW.png|50px]]

|[[File:Zappa NSMB.png|50px]]

|Lakitus move left and right in the sky and throw Spinies at players. After a player defeats a Lakitu, they can ride its cloud. The Lakitu can be modified to throw objects other than Spinies.

|While they cannot damage players, Bullies can push them away, stunning them for a brief period of time. Bullies can also be knocked away themselves; once they reach an edge, players can hit them once more to knock them off.

|Koopa Troopa Cars are driven by Beach Koopas; after they are defeated, players can drive the cars themselves. They can sustain multiple hits before they are destroyed completely.

|{{SMM2 modifiers|'''[[Larry Koopa|Larry]]'''{{footnote|main|2}}|mushroom=1|wings=1|parachute=1}}

|Larry simply jumps around and shoots spells out of his [[magic wand]], similar to his appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

|{{SMM2 modifiers|'''[[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]]'''{{footnote|main|2}}|mushroom=1|wings=1|parachute=1}}

|{{SMM2 modifiers|'''[[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]]'''{{footnote|main|2}}|mushroom=1|wings=1|parachute=1}}

|{{SMM2 modifiers|'''[[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]]'''{{footnote|main|2}}|mushroom=1|wings=1|parachute=1}}

|Bill Blasters fire [[Bullet Bill]]s, which fly straight forwards. They can also be set to fire a different element. In the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, Bullet Bills cannot pass through walls or objects, but explode upon colliding with them. The resulting explosion can break nearby blocks, similar to Bob-ombs. They can be modified to shoot objects other than Bullet Bills.

|'''[[Banzai Bill]]'''

|Icicles damage players if they are touched from underneath, though they can be stood on from above. When the player gets close enough to them, they will begin to shake before eventually falling on the player, after which they respawn. The arrow does not appear while playing a level.

|Trees can be climbed similar to Vines, and can also hold items that release when a player reaches the top.

|Crates can be destroyed with a [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] or carried around by players. They also float on water and lava and can be used as platforms.

|Vines can be climbed by players. They can be placed as is on the level, or placed inside a block and grow when a player hits it.

|An alternate form of the Lift. Flimsy Lifts fall as soon as a player stands on them.

|Snake Blocks are mobile platforms that move along a set path.

|A block that slowly moves along a set path. Red Track Blocks move constantly, while blue ones move only after a player steps on it.

*Each Koopaling has the same behavior in all the game styles for consistency purposes.

*[[Fire Mario|Fire Luigi]] has a distinct color palette instead of being identical to Fire Mario.

*[[Thwomp]]s have been given new sprites for when they are idle and attacking.

*Thwomps tilt forward slightly when they move horizontally, unlike the original game where they were only idle.

*Thwomps that move horizontally require the player be in front of them to attack, unlike in the original where they're much more sensitive and can be triggered from below and above.

*[[Small Mario|Small characters]] can now [[crouch]], unlike in the original game, where it was not possible.

*Airship courses during night receive a blue palette on the tileset resembling the appearance of the airships seen in {{world-link|3|airship3|World 3-Airship (Super Mario Bros. 3)}} and {{world-link|7|airship3|World 7-Airship (Super Mario Bros. 3)}}, unlike the original game where night airship levels like {{world-link|8|airforce|World 8-Airship (Super Mario Bros. 3)}} have the normal brown palette.

*Castle courses during night receive a tileset from {{world-link|8|bowser3|World 8-Bowser’s Castle (Super Mario Bros. 3)}}

*[[Boom Boom]] now flies off-screen with the stomped sprite when he is defeated instead of exploding and leaving a [[Magic Ball]] behind.

*[[Buzzy Beetle]]s and Spinys on ceilings can now climb slopes instead of turning at them.

*[[Spike]]s cannot throw Spike Balls in Snow-themed levels anymore, and will throw [[Snowball]]s instead.

*[[Frog Mario|Frog characters]] can now run on water.  

**Frog Mario turns red when playing in multiplayer to be distinguished from Frog Luigi.

**Frog characters can crouch with the addition of the suit's eyes closing.

*Larry's sprites are a brighter shade of green, the same as Bowser, Bowser Jr. and Lemmy use.

*The ball Lemmy stands on disappears when he's stomped on, and he jumps around in the same fashion as the others, then the ball reappears beneath him when he reemerges, rather than remaining stationary on his ball while spinning in his shell, to be consistent with other game styles.  

*Roy no longer shakes the screen while attacking with his shell.

*When the Koopalings go inside their respective shells, the original sprites are replaced with Bowser Jr.'s shell sprites, while Morton, Roy, and Ludwig receive modified sprites of the originals.

*[[Banzai Bill]]s leave some clouds of smoke behind when they travel, and can be defeated using shells.

*The "Final Boss" sound effect lacks its intro, save for the final note.

*While the Balloon form in the original game was temporary and did not affect the player's form, it is now considered to be its own powerup.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====

*[[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. series)|Yellow Toad]] is replaced by Toadette. This is likely to keep consistent with ''Super Mario 3D World'', where the playable Toad is colored blue in the original game, akin to [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]]. [[Nabbit]] is not playable either, unlike in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. [[Toadette]] has the same attributes as the other characters as a result of this, unlike in ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''.

*There is no giant Bill Blaster that fires Banzai Bills/Bull's-Eye Banzais. This is likely to keep consistent with the ''Super Mario World'' style, as they do not exist in that game.

*Banzai Bills do not rotate when they are traveling.

*[[Big Wiggler]]s can no longer travel through poison, instead sinking through it like their smaller counterparts.

*Roy, Wendy, Lemmy, and Morton use their wands instead of their Bullet Bill Cannon, Ice Skates, Bouncy Ball Bombs, and Hammer respectively from ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' to be consistent with the other game styles.

*The Koopalings' spells are smaller than in the original game.

*Iggy is slightly shorter to match the other Koopalings and his appearance in the other game styles. For the same reasons, Lemmy's shell form is noticeably bigger.

*The Koopalings now have two different screams that can play when they are defeated instead of one. Their additional voice clip seems to be unused from previous games (except for Larry, who uses both of his screams from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'').

*Moves performed using the trigger buttons in the original game (crouching, Ground Pounding, sliding, and entering downward Warp and Clear Pipes) are now performed by tilting {{button|switch|leftstick}} down instead, consistent with other styles. This makes rolling and Long Jumping no longer require additional buttons to be held.

*Bob-ombs break [[? Block]]s when exploding rather than activating them.

*P Switches have the same music and design as they do in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', while they never had any music in the original game.

*The "TIME'S UP!" text, as with the other styles, uses the same text font as the "Too Bad..."/"Game Over" texts from story mode and Endless Challenge respectively.

*Stomping on a [[Blooper]] underwater now damages the player, as opposed to harmlessly bouncing off of them.

*Objects can no longer be placed in front of the Arrow Sign at the start of a course.

*The starting platform is now seven blocks wide and has a 7x3 forbidden zone to accommodate for multiplayer matches.

*Checkpoint Flags can no longer be rotated diagonally.

*The Ground terrain element now represents its own group, instead of being part of the blocks group. Additionally, up to 4,000 Ground terrain elements can be placed onto a single course area.

*One-Way Walls are now in the same group as the Arrow Sign.

*Unchained Chomps, Angry Wigglers, Lit Bob-ombs, Bull's-Eye Blasters, Red Cannons, and Fast Lava Lifts now have their own "singing parts" in the edit screen, rather than the same as their original counterparts.

**Additionally, [[Magikoopa]]s and Skewers' singing parts now use their American versions regardless of regional settings, as opposed to having "Kamek" and "Spike Pillar" clips, respectively, in the British English version.

*Normal-sized shells now deal more damage to Bowser.

*The remaining time displayed is now rounded down instead of rounded up, so once the time displayed reaches zero, it means the player has less than one second left to clear the course.

*The player can no longer stand on the edge of One-Way Walls.

*[[Mystery Mushroom]]s and [[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mushroom]]s have been removed.

*When the player grabs a [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Maker)|Pink Coin]], it now makes the sound effect when collecting a [[Red Coin]] from a [[Red Ring]] in the original game. A similar sound effect is used in the ''Super Mario World'' style.

==Trivia==

*''Super Mario Maker 2'' is the first ''Super Mario'' game to be released during the {{wp|Reiwa era}} in Japan, following the abdication of emperor {{wp|Akihito}} on April 30 and ascension of prince {{wp|Naruhito}} the following day. [[Nintendo]]'s Japanese Instagram account acknowledged the timing by posting a video depicting Mario traveling through the different imperial eras since the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise's inception, with each one being represented by a different style in this game: the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' style represents the {{wp|Shōwa era}}, the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' style represents the {{wp|Heisei era}}, and the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style represents the Reiwa era.<ref>Japanese Nintendo (May 1, 2019).
