Super Mario Maker 2

Template:Infobox Super Mario Maker 2 is a 2D platforming and level-editing game for the Nintendo Switch and the sequel to the 2015 Wii U title Super Mario Maker. 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, sky, and forest; further terrain options such as slopes; and a nighttime feature, which alters many course elements. In addition to Mario, such characters as Luigi, Toad, and Toadette are playable in both single-player and in Network Play, a multiplayer mode which allows the player to compete against or co-operate alongside three random players online. An offline, single-player Story Mode is also featured in the game, which contains over 100 pre-installed courses made by Nintendo. Super Mario Maker 2 was released worldwide on June 28, 2019.

A Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to share, download, and play courses online.

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 placed 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, which can be changed up to 10 times per area. In forest-themed levels, a body of water can be added and/or set to rise and fall at a predetermined speed. In castle levels and nighttime forest levels, the lava and poison respectively can also be set the same function. The player also has the option to add Clear Conditions to their level, such as collecting a certain amount of coins or reaching the goal as Super Mario. Vertically scrolling sub-areas can also be created.

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 (although Super Mushrooms can be added by dragging them onto enemies like in the original Super Mario Maker), wings, and a parachute.

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. If the player switches to Super Mario 3D World style, everything that has been placed on the editing screen will be erased, due to the style's course elements being vastly different from those of the other styles. Courses can now be edited cooperatively.

Story Mode

In Story Mode, after Mario, Toadette (referred to as "Chief" in this mode), and several other Toads have finished building Princess Peach's 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 over 100 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. 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.

Course World

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 Super Mario Maker Bookmark website. Courses can also be searched by tags that have been applied to them, such as "Puzzle-solving" and "Autoscroll". Feedback can be given to courses in the form of text, drawings, or one of 12 Mario-themed stamps, and players can choose to vote on courses positively or negatively by selecting the "I like it!" or "Boo!" buttons respectively. As in the first Super Mario Maker, the clear rate and world record are recorded for every course.

Each player on Course World is represented by a Mii and has their own Maker profile, which displays their medals, Maker points, and Versus Rating. Maker points are earned if players clear courses and react with "I like it!" for each one. However, maker points can be lost if players fail to clear a course, and/or don't leave behind any kind of positive reaction; this includes giving the course a "Boo!".

The Versus Rating represents the player's rank in Multiplayer Versus matches based on their win-loss ratio; if the player wins a match, they earn points, and move up a rank if enough points are earned. The player can also dress up their Mii with various outfits and hats obtained by completing certain objectives in the game.

Network Play

Network Play allows the player to cooperate with three other players online to complete courses in Multiplayer Co-op, or compete against them to clear the course first in Multiplayer Versus. Each player is assigned to one of four characters: Mario, Luigi, Toad, or Toadette. The player can also connect locally to other players who own the game, though the players' Versus Ratings are not affected in this mode.

Endless Challenge

Similar to the 100 Mario Challenge in the first Super Mario Maker, Endless Challenge involves the player completing as many random courses based on their preferred difficulty as possible. Players that achieve a significantly high score are ranked on the leaderboards. Courses have to be played at least once before they can appear in this game mode.

Yamamura's Dojo

Main article: Yamamura's Dojo

In Yamamura's Dojo, the player can view "Maker Lessons," a series of tutorials in which Yamamura teaches a new character, Nina, various course design techniques. Maker Lessons are categorized into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The player can also view the controls for each game style, under the option "Mario's Moves."

Course elements

File:SMM2 style select.png

The style select menu

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.

Styles

The game styles are separated into two categories; game styles that feature their own unique elements that are incompatible with other styles are placed in "Extra Game Styles".

• Super Mario Bros.
• Super Mario Bros. 3
• Super Mario World
• New Super Mario Bros. U
• Super Mario 3D World

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

Clear conditions

It has been requested that at least one image be uploaded for this section. Remove this notice only after the image(s) have been added.

Clear conditions are a new feature that requires the player to fulfill a given condition by the end of the level in order 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 have one or no clear condition. Levels with Checkpoint Flags cannot use clear conditions.

Actions

Image	Clear condition
	Reach the goal without taking damage.
	Reach the goal without landing after leaving the ground.

Parts

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.

Differences from previous games

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 Bros.

• Fire Luigi has a distinct color palette instead of being identical to Fire Mario.
• Sky-themed levels now have new music based on the overworld theme arranged by Koji Kondo, unlike in the original game where the original overworld music is used instead.
• Warp Pipes no longer have a black outline in ground levels, instead using the colored outline normally used in underground levels to distinguish the outline from the background.
• With the addition of slopes, Small characters are now able to crouch. However, they cannot actually slide down the slopes.
• The water simply has a clearer, translucent dark blue color, unlike the original game where it is brighter.

Super Mario Bros. 3

• Thwomps 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.
• Snow-themed levels now feature their own original music composed by Koji Kondo instead of using the overworld or athletic theme.
• 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 3-Airship and World 7-Airship, unlike the original game where night airship levels like World 8-Jet have the normal brown palette.
• Luigi is dark green, unlike the original game where he is bright green.
• The water simply has a clearer, translucent blue color.

Super Mario World

• Snake Blocks are colored green and no longer use the Grinders' sound effect.
• The texture for the water in non-underwater levels is missing in addition to its appearance generally updated; 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.
• Banzai Bills leave some clouds of smoke behind when they travel.
• Forest-themed levels now have new music based on the overworld theme arranged by Koji Kondo, unlike in the original game where the original overworld music is used instead.
• P Switches have a flashing animation.
• Luigi has a new sprite, with his head resembling his appearance from Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World, but his body resembling Mario's.
• Para-Goombas use their swimming sprites from Super Mario Maker, rather than using their front-facing sprites from the original.
• The blue Warp Pipes are brighter than in the original game.

• Small Mario has a new running jump sprite.
• Luigi no longer has tan skin, now sharing Mario's consistency.
• Fire Luigi has light green overalls, unlike in the original game where they are dark green.

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. The music at night plays a music box cover of the Frosted Glacier level theme instead of the original theme which now plays in the daytime.
• Banzai Bills have a shorter design than in New Super Mario Bros. U to keep consistent with Super Mario World, as well as the other game styles.

• P Switches have a flashing animation.

• Fire Toadette has white pants unlike in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, where they are red.
• Boom Boom now crouches down in his shell after being stomped on, rather than becoming dizzy. This is to keep consistent with Super Mario Bros. 3, though otherwise there is little difference between the original game and Super Mario Maker 2.

• Multiple players can no longer perform a Simultaneous Ground Pound.

• Big Wigglers can no longer travel through poison, instead sinking through it like their smaller counterparts.

• P Switches now 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.
• POW Blocks and P Switches were not portable in the original game.
• Coin Blocks no longer turn into ? Boxes after being hit enough times.
• ON/OFF Switches replace Switch Blocks from the original game functionally.
• 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 near or below them, as opposed to the behavior seen in the original game, where they rise and fall in a constant pattern.
• The flagpole does not turn gold when the player touches the top of it. Additionally, it now provides an extra life rather than 10,000 points, akin to the other game styles and Super Mario 3D Land.
• Fire Toad now has a blue cap instead of yellow. This is to be consistent with New Super Mario Bros. U.
• The snow theme, which appears to be based on Snowball Park, takes place during the day, instead of the night like in the original level.

• Princess Peach and Rosalina are not playable.

• Red POW Blocks are now affected by gravity, like their blue counterparts, rather than floating in midair.

These behaviors were not seen in the original game. Additionally, they chase Mario, rather than following a set pattern.
• Players do not take damage from colliding with enemies while in Clear Pipes.

Super Mario Maker

General

• The title screen no longer contains hidden Easter eggs in it.

• 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, Magikoopas and Skewers' singing parts now uses their American versions regardless of region, as opposed to be have "Kamek" and "Spike Pillar" clips, respectively in the British English version.
• Normal-sized shells now deal more damage to Bowser.
• Instead of big Yoshi Eggs being green and hatching into two Yoshis that run around in panic, they turn red and hatch into a single red Yoshi that does not run away.
• 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.
• Spiny Mario can no longer break blocks while in Warp Pipes.
• If Mario is in a Goomba's Shoe and walks through a one-block gap, he automatically crouches.

Super Mario Bros. style

  • The instrument played by Mystery Mushrooms on Music Blocks is instead inherited by the Superball Flower.

  • Big characters cannot break blocks by running into them. Also, taking damage now degrades them to Super form, rather than Small form.
  • As Mystery Mushrooms have been removed, Big Mushrooms now replace Super Leaves, Cape Feathers, Propeller Mushrooms and Super Bells from other game styles in the parts menu. This means the player can no longer place Big Mushrooms outside of the Super Mario Bros. style.

• The Goomba icon in the Super Mario 3D World style used artwork of a Mini Goomba instead of a normal one.
• When the underground theme was shown in the Super Mario 3D World style, the Block icon was a Brick Block rather than the Crystal Block in the final game.
• There were only three enemy wheels instead of four in the Super Mario 3D World style. Additionally, Porcupuffers and Bullies were placed in the first and second wheel respectively instead of the fourth.
• When Custom Scroll was shown off, the icon used for the scrolling points was more simplistic, consisting of a silhouette of a realistic-looking parrot instead of a more cartoonish one with a visible facial features.
• The Twister in the Super Mario World style had a different appearance than in the final game, somewhat resembling a Foo.

Super Mario Maker 2 Direct

• When showing off the feature to use the ON/OFF Switch with Tracks, the Twister in the New Super Mario Bros. U style had a different appearance than in the final game, resembling a Foo, like in the debut trailer. However, since the final version's design also appears in the New Super Mario Bros. U style, this was most likely intended to be some sort of alternate form.

Critical reception

Reviews
Release	Reviewer, Publication	Score	Comment
Nintendo Switch	Seth Macy, IGN	9.5/10	"Super Mario Maker 2 is the most accessible game design tool ever created, and that core is just one part of a greater whole. I spent hours building levels, testing them, and starting over again, and I feel like I've only barely scratched the surface of what's possible. The Story Mode has a basic story, sure, but it's still a great excuse to introduce hundreds of novel, professionally made levels to play. Its design tutorials are so much more in depth than they ever needed to be, and you can take them or leave them as you see fit. Super Mario Maker 2 affords so much freedom in how you play, how you make, and even how you learn, it's astonishing how incredibly well it's all held together in one cohesive package."
Nintendo Switch	CJ Andriessen, Destructoid	7/10	"This is the conundrum of creating a game where players are expected to provide a majority of the content. There is no guarantee the content will be any good, and thanks to the popularity and intuitive nature of Super Mario Maker 2, you're going to get a lot of people clogging up the Endless Challenge and multiplayer modes with courses that have no business being played by anyone...Given how many positive messages I've seen attached to genuinely bad stages, I don't have much faith in the Mario Maker community right now and I question whether it'll get better down the line."
Nintendo Switch	Peter Brown, GameSpot	8/10	"The Mario series is worth all the admiration it gets, and Super Mario Maker 2 is an excellent tool for picking it apart by pushing its enemies, mechanisms, and Mario, to their limit. I've yet to make a stage of my own that I think is worthy of sending out to other players, but I'm committed to getting there. Whether exploring the full potential of a single element or throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, I've got the itch to join the creator's club. Mario Maker 2 makes the learning process intuitive and enjoyable. Most importantly, it's enabled designers amateur and professional alike to share their creativity with the world. The community is off to a great start, and thankfully, the fun has only just begun."

• Mario Bros.: Fire Luigi in the Super Mario Bros. style resembles his appearance in Mario Bros. for the Atari 2600, as well as the game's flyer ad. Mario's walking sound effect as well as other sound effects from this game can be heard during loading screens. Also, the four sub-areas in the story mode level Underground Coin Collecting are modeled after Mario Bros. stages.
• Super Mario Bros.: The first game style is based on this game. Some blocks that prevent Mario from going forward or through pipes in Story Mode's main area use a 3D version of this game's ground sprite. In Story Mode, Yellow Toad makes statues of 3D versions of the Goomba, Koopa Troopa and Cheep Cheep's sprites from this game. The story mode level Super Mario Bros. W1-1? by Princess Peach is a remix of the first level from this game.
• VS. Super Mario Bros.: A portion of the newly arranged music for the sky theme in the Super Mario Bros. style borrows the "Name Entry" theme from this game. The "Name Entry" theme also returns as the Bonus theme in the Super Mario Bros. style.
• Super Mario Bros. 2: The door sprites return for the Super Mario Bros. 3 theme.
• Super Mario Bros. 3: The second game style is based on this game. The P Switch, Boss Fight and Final Boss themes in the Super Mario Bros. theme are from this game.
• Super Mario Land: The Superball Flower is available as an item in the Super Mario Bros. style. The music that plays while in the Superball form is a remix of the Birabuto Kingdom theme from this game, and the music that plays when completing a level or losing a life in said form comes from this game.
• Super Mario World: The third game style is based on this game. The music heard in the map of the Endless Challenge at the Easy, Normal, and Expert difficulties are arrangements of Yoshi's Island's map theme from this game, while Super Expert's and the bassline of Expert's are arrangements of Valley of Bowser's map theme. The music that plays elsewhere in Course World is an arrangement of the Special World's map theme.
• Super Mario Kart: The "Mario Circuit" theme is featured as a sound effect under the "Musical" category, represented by the Super Famicom logo.

Brawl: A few of the notes in the arranged sky theme music in the Super Mario Bros. style are taken from the "Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)" arrangement in this game, also arranged by Koji Kondo (although this version, in turn, was based on earlier live-orchestra arrangements of the Ground Theme).
• Mario Party 8: Some of Toad's and Toadette's voice clips are recycled from this game.
• New Super Mario Bros. Wii: Music from this game is used on the New Super Mario Bros. U game style. The cage in which Toadette is held in the Story Mode course "Meowser Showdown!" resembles the cage where Princess Peach is held in this game.
• New Super Mario Bros. 2: The 10-Coins and 50-Coins from this game reappear as course elements.
• New Super Mario Bros. U: The fourth game style is based on this game.
• New Super Luigi U: The snowmen seen in some of Frosted Glacier's levels from this game are used as decorations in the snow theme of the New Super Mario Bros. U style.
• Super Mario 3D World: The first extra game style is based on this game. The music that plays on the menu screen in Yamamura's Dojo is an arrangement of World 1's map theme in this game. The Galoomba sprite in the Super Mario World theme is recolored to match its appearance in this game.
