    I was really looking forward to this game once announced and excited to design and play. With each update the game has grown to something wonderful.
    I enjoyed making levels and proud on showing the world my hours of work in designing. However the game has some issues that mildly annoy me:
    - The main menu interface I feel is not over intuitive. Why my maker profile and my costume selections in completely different areas of the game? Me checking and customizing my profile should be in one spot.
    - I cannot search levels using words like "Bowser" and getting Bowser named levels as a filter option
    - I cannot copy and re-upload my levels if I want to make a change. Have to delete and re-upload the same level with a change instead of having two levels uploaded, really don't like that.
    -No 100 lives challenge. Having endless mode you don't get a finale and your progress seems empty.
    I had fun playing the game but my passion faded as I feel 90% of user levels were... less desirable, but that has little to do with the game itself.
    I recommend buying, playing and learning some mechanics. This game at least upskills you in gaming in general    … Expand

    While this is better than SMM1 because of its improved content, you have to pay to play other people's levels, which I cannot ignore whatsoever! Money is not always the key to success Nintendo! 8/10
    The 2/10 is for the p2p crap.

    Some level creators know the creation tools inside out and have created some truly marvellous levels. Since it's release, there have been two free major content updates which has kept the game fresh. You can even play as Link, sword, bow, bombs and shield all in tow.

    As I said before, I've only made 2 levels. So goes to show you don't have to get this game just for the creation side.

    It is an infinite mario maker featuring 5 distinct mario styles from the last 30 years. It completely overshadows the newer mainline 2D games. Super Mario U Deluxe for example, is just stale in comparison and I got bored very quickly.

    There are multiplayer modes which unfortunetely as per usual Nintendo service, laggy as heck. And i've avoided playing them.

    The new addition of the world creator is a much wanted feature Nintendo were kind enough to give to us in recent months.

    Would be a 10/10 but 9/10 due to laggy multiplayer.    … Expand

    Es un juego matemáticamente finito, pero divertidamente INFINITO, sin dudas hacer niveles es genial, disfrutas de saber que a la gente le gusta lo que haces y disfrutas jugar lo que la gente hace. Lo unico malo es la obligatoria necesidad de NS online para tener la mejor experiencia, y el modo historia tan irrelevante

    What is the deal with Nintendo and story modes? Smash story mode was bad and then Mario Maker 2? Disappointing really... But I would say Mario Maker 2 is better than Smash Ultimate. Making level is really fun and I really like how easy levels are to do so 8/10!

    A big improvement to the original game, adding fun things like a story-like mode. That story mode however, could have had more improvements. Aside from that, the editor, level hub, and challenges bring a new experience to the table.

Back on the Wii U, players weren't allowed to simply have all the building items in arms reach. Players had to wait nine real life days in order to unlock these items. So if you wanted to build the level of your dreams, you would have to play a game of back and forth with the date and time settings. But now, ultimate power is now at your fingertips! Though I personally prefer not to use the touch screen on my Switch.

    I'd say the best addition of this game is the world map maker, currently it's only limited to having Super Mario World theming. But the fact that I have the ability to place alive icons, alternate routes, toad houses to go with my stages it takes me back to the days of my childhood, drawing my own Mario levels for fun. Their's even a solo mode if you want to search for inspiration and challenge Nintendo staff levels. Life is good!

    One of the most important elements of video game design is freedom. The more options you give your players, the more enjoyable the game becomes. So this sequel is a big step in the right direction. However I will say the best way to enjoy this game, is to have other people try out your levels. Whether they be local or online, the true joy that comes from creating levels is seeing the people enjoy themselves while playing them.    … Expand

    This game is awesome, no doubt. When I got this game one Christmas, I was miserable because Mom told me I wouldn't get any presents. So while my brothers were rejoicing about getting theirs, I was miserable about being the only one who didn't get any. But Mom got my back and told me she DID get me my game. I was ECSTATIC.

    With all the selling-out done, though, I'd like to start praising the game for its extremely catchy soundtrack, especially its title screen should you be playing in the SMW mode onwards. It's just SO nostalgic. Now only that, there's several customization options available, proving Nintendo loves their variety.
    My only problem was that there were loads of Story Mode missions that were **** to do. But it was fun, especially when I had Luigi to lend a hand. You'll understand when YOU play the game.
    Also, Course World is amazing, as you can see other people's creations. Multiplayer Versus, in particular, is pretty damn cool, even though I barely win.

You can upload your levels for the world to see, or play others made by other people. And, with the version 3 update, you can make your worlds, which is like making your own Mario GAME. This is got to be Mario Maker 2 biggest part. Now let's talk about the main issues with this game. The Multiplayer sucks. It is so laggy and is unplayable at times. You could have made the multiplayer single player and it would still be laggy. That's how bad it is. Plus, once you have done with the campaign.

Why can't i search normally? Why do i have to use codes? -1 for that There is no quality control. You can make a messy level and if you're good enough, you can submit it. -1 for that.

    This game in its prime was honestly 10/10, but with lack of support from Nintendo and the over abundance of the “satisfying” levels kinda made me fall off of it.

I’m not saying it felt like a rip off, but I’m saying that it feels like they just put Mario maker on switch just because they had to put it on and they added some extra parts to say “Hey! This game is brand new!” But even with all of these complaints, the things that they did add was fun like link, world maker, story mode, and multiplayer. Would be 10/10 if Nintendo gave this game the splatoon treatment and added new updates all of the time.… Expand

    Great game! You can build and explore levels! There is a great story mode! But the search feature is not that great... But there is also infinite mode!

    As great as Super Mario Maker 2 is - and it is genuinely great - it is perhaps the only Nintendo Switch game with a direct predecessor on Wii U that somehow manages to be inferior to the original. Much of this can't be helped; no game made better use of the Wii U GamePad than the first SMM when it comes to designing and building courses. Using a controller in TV mode works well enough, andAs great as Super Mario Maker 2 is - and it is genuinely great - it is perhaps the only Nintendo Switch game with a direct predecessor on Wii U that somehow manages to be inferior to the original. Much of this can't be helped; no game made better use of the Wii U GamePad than the first SMM when it comes to designing and building courses. Using a controller in TV mode works well enough, and there's also the touchscreen in handheld if you're so inclined, but I just wish I could make courses with a mouse and keyboard.

    The built-in challenge levels are superb. The World Builder is a welcome addition. The new modes are great. All that said, I really miss the many extra characters we got with the Wii U game, like Mario-Kun and Weird Mario.

    User-created courses are very hit and miss, and mostly miss. You can avoid the all-time top 20, as they are all just identical automatic courses that make loud noises. It's best to find a few active course designers you like and follow them, or at least someone who *was* active a few years ago and made a ton of courses.

    Regardless, you'll never run out of fun new courses to play! (At least until Nintendo ends online services at some point in the future.)    … Expand

    Le daría un 9 o 10, pero su dependencia al online, le resta mucho a este gran título, lleno de contenido y con un sistema de creación de niveles inmejorable, un modo historia entretenido y un abanico de opciones de juego online increíble.

    This game should be a considered a must play and is an absolute must-buy on the Switch. This game is awesome, no doubt.

    A dream come true
    This game is everything a sequel to Super Mario Maker should be and went above and beyond adding online 2d Mario for the first time ever, sure it had it’s flaws, but it improved a lot over time. All of the updates were solid, none felt like let-downs or included anything that should have been there at launch like check points in SMM. This game in my opinion the best game ever.

    I think that this game is very creative and great as a first game for kids! It does have some problems, like the 32 level upload cap, but it’s got basically infinite content (endless mode), so it’s perfect for long road trips. Definitely a good purchase for someone of any skill level as it covers a wide scope.

    This is a really good game. It has so much play value in it. The story is nothing special, the online games are often laggy, but Joycon Drift is not very prevalent! The worst part is playing on a tv. This game is only playable (for making stages) on handheld. Playing is bedt on handheld, and fine elsewhere. I do suggest buying the game if you have a switch! I have at least 500 hours playing it

    I have about 300 hours into this game, it is my most played game on my switch. It's really fun to make levels and play them... too unless you do endless, which is fun but give you less 'good' levels sometimes. I can be very creative in this game and made about 70 levels and even a super world. Really recommend if you're creative or want an infinite amount of 2d platformer levels!

    Nintendo will surely need to work on new artistic and mechanical styles to make its future 2D Mario games attractive, as Super Mario Maker 2 takes all the best from Super Mario Maker 1 and boosts the game with new options, a better interface, more customization, themes, night mode, interesting enemies and wraps the whole package with a fun new story mode and an online mode that even with its flaws, is competent.Super Mario Maker 2 offers the ultimate experience for Mario 2D fans and certainly yields much more fun than the 60$ what it is charged for.

    Another masterpiece by Nintendo. Super Mario Maker 2 is a delight for every creative soul out there - and yet also cares about players with no interest in designing their own levels. There are dozens of hours of pure fun for both of those groups.
