Template:Item-infobox The Moon is a course part introduced in Super Mario Maker 2. It serves as an alternate form of the Angry Sun. When placed in a course, the current theme will switch to a night variant with different properties than the normal daytime one. Additionally, when the Moon is touched, every enemy on the screen will be defeated. However, after it has been placed once, the night variant of every theme will be selectable from the menu, and the Moon will not need to be placed again to trigger night mode from that point onward. In addition to unique level effects, most night mode levels will have a starry background, and a music-box version of the level's music will play instead of the standard one.
The Moon, along with the Angry Sun, is absent in the Super Mario 3D World game style. As such, the night theme is not present in it.
