Template:Infobox Super Mario Maker 2 is an upcoming 2D platforming and level-editing game for the Nintendo Switch and the sequel to both the 2015 Wii U title Super Mario Maker and the 3DS title Super Mario Maker for the Nintendo 3DS. The game expands on its predecessor with new features such as a 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, and nighttime; and further terrain options, such as slopes, and water in non-underwater levels. Along with Mario as the main character, Luigi appears in the game's artwork alongside him wearing a builder outfit, and Luigi and Toadette can also be seen wearing Cat Suits, though their exact implementation in the game has yet to be shown.^[1] Super Mario Maker 2 is set to be released on June 28, 2019 in Japan, North America, Europe, and Australia.

Gameplay

As in Super Mario Maker, along with the main contents of the level, each level is set with a style, theme, and time limit. The starting platform is no longer visibly separated from any ground tiles place beside it, which are instead merged into the platform. A new mechanic known as Custom Scroll is introduced, which allows the player to set a level to auto-scroll, as well as the directions at which to scroll. The player also has the option to add a coin total showing the number of coins out of a specific number they have collected, though the result for collecting them all is unknown. Vertically scrolling levels can also be created.^[2]

Enemies that have alternate forms (such as Piranha Plants) can now have those forms selected by tapping the enemy to open up a menu, rather than shaking it. Additionally, that menu also includes the options to insert/remove a Super Mushroom, Wings, and a Parachute.^[2]

In editing mode, the basic functions from Super Mario Maker return, including Mr. Eraser and Undodog, and the player can quickly switch between playing and editing by pressing minus. As a new feature, the player can zoom in or out during editing mode to gain a different view of the level, the latter performed by clicking one of the analog sticks.^[2]

Course elements

This section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

The interface for the element search function

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.

Differences from original games

The following is a list of differences from the level styles' original games not present in the first Super Mario Maker.

Super Mario World

Snake Blocks are colored green.
The texture for the water in non-underwater levels is missing; the water now simply has a clearer, translucent blue color.
ON/OFF Switches now have a more saturated color, and their letters flash between black and white.

New Super Mario Bros. U

The snow theme has a blue/white backdrop like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii instead of taking place during the night like the levels in Frosted Glacier.
- This could be due to night being a stand-alone course theme, but currently it is unknown whether that is the case or if the night aesthetic is part of a separate feature.
The HUD was given a small update: the coin counter now has a white/yellow gradient and lacks the "×" symbol present in all other styles, and the score counter is white as opposed to black.

Super Mario 3D World

The entire level style is in a 2D plane like the other styles similar to how Super Mario 3D World has 2D sections, but some courses from the original game can be seen in the background.
Banzai Bills now have a yellow exhaust as opposed to a purple exhaust, and they also spin when they come from the background.
The size of the timer, score, and coin counter has decreased to be consistent with the other game styles. Likewise, the score is now placed to the left of the timer instead of beneath it to match the other styles.
Platform Blocks now have a "!" icon instead of a "?" icon.
P Switches are now designed the same as they were in New Super Mario Bros. U and even share the same music, while they never had any music in the original game.
The Thwomps in the Super Mario 3D World style use the same behavior as the other game styles, where they fall once the player is below them, as opposed to the behavior seen in the original game, where they fall in a constant pattern.
The flagpole does not turn gold when the player touches the top of it.

Release

The stylus and drawing pad

In Japan, Europe, and Australia, the player can purchase a limited edition of the game that includes a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online subscription, and if they pre-order the game, they receive a Super Mario Maker 2-themed stylus as a bonus.^[9]^[10]^[11] In Australia, the pre-order bonus also includes a Super Mario Maker 2-themed A4 landscape drawing pad with 50 pages of grid paper used for drafting levels.^[12] For UK players, four bundle packs are available for purchase on the official Nintendo UK store: two limited edition packs both including the game, membership, stylus, and a themed SteelBook, one with the drawing pad, a pencil, and a sharpener, and the other with a Mario diorama set; and two regular packs with similar content as the limited edition packs, but without the membership and SteelBook.^[13]

Pre-release and unused content

In the debut trailer, several of the Super Mario 3D World course elements either used their icons from the New Super Mario Bros. U style or from the Super Mario 3D World Prima guide. These include:

Warp Pipes
Goombas
Super Mushroom
Fire Flower
Super Star
Semi-Solid Platforms
Piranha Creepers
Stingbies

Additionally, the Goomba's icon used artwork of a Mini Goomba instead of a normal one.
