User:TheUndescribableGhost/List of course elements in Super Mario Maker 2

It has been requested that more images be uploaded for this section. Remove this notice only after the additional images have been added. Specific(s): Add alternate element icons in , , and styles, and version 2.0.0 and 3.0.0 element icons

The style select menu

Like the first game, Super Mario Maker 2 contains many features for the player to customize their course. Instead of displaying every element on a single screen as in Super Mario Maker, at the top-right corner of the screen in editing mode, there is a magnifying glass which, when selected, allows the player to search for course elements by category. Each category's elements are organized into one or more wheels, with the elements as the sectors. The top of the screen contains the most recently used elements, but elements can be pinned.

Elements formatted in bold are new to Super Mario Maker 2.
¹ - Added in version 2.0.0
² - Added in version 3.0.0

Styles

The game styles are separated into two categories; the Super Mario 3D World style, which features its own unique elements that are incompatible with other styles, is placed in "Extra Game Styles".

• Super Mario Bros.
• Super Mario Bros. 3
• Super Mario World

Sounds

Main article: List of sound effects in Super Mario Maker 2

Sounds reappear along with several new ones, accessed by tapping the Soundfrog icon. As with course elements, they are divided into several wheels. Additionally, the secondary forms of sounds are now separated from their base counterpart. However, the ability to record sounds was removed due to the Nintendo Switch's lack of a microphone.

Clear Conditions

Clear Conditions are a new feature that requires the player to fulfill a given condition by the end of the level to make the goal appear. Similar to the conditions in Challenge Mode from New Super Mario Bros. U, some Clear Conditions are incomplete at the start of a level and must be completed, while others are complete at the start but can be failed before reaching the goal. Failing a Clear Condition does not cause the player character to lose a life immediately, but they will be unable to interact with the goal without restarting the level.

Each level can either have one Clear Condition or no Clear Condition. Levels with Checkpoint Flags cannot use Clear Conditions.

Actions

Image	Clear Condition
	Reach the goal without taking damage.

In Multiplayer Versus, players cannot see their progress on meeting the said Clear Condition until someone completes it. The first player to complete the Clear Condition can interact with the goal, but other players can steal it by stomping on the player with the goal mark. The player also loses the goal mark upon losing a life, allowing others to steal it.
