    This game is absolutely amazing. The Story Mode has a ton of content and the creation mode has a bunch of new content that makes it even better than the first Mario Maker game. So much replayability here that it's hard to know where to stare. Super Mario Maker 2 is definitely a contender for game of the year.

    3 days into this game, and after trying out all modes, this could seriously be the best 2D Mario game of all time. My nostalgia has SMB 3 in my top 10 games ever, but the endless variety found here may even top the level design in that game! Add competitive multiplayer (!!), and a story mode and you have what could potentially be considered a masterpiece. Nintendo at it's finest here!

    I'll be quite honest for a second, I didn't think I'd be sitting here writing a review of this game. Make no mistake, I enjoyed the short time I spent with the original "Super Mario Maker" back in 2015, but I'll be honest, I'm not one for level-creators and/or game creators like this. Even for how much I enjoyed a game like "Disney Infinity" that was heavily creation-based, I often ignoredI'll be quite honest for a second, I didn't think I'd be sitting here writing a review of this game. Make no mistake, I enjoyed the short time I spent with the original "Super Mario Maker" back in 2015, but I'll be honest, I'm not one for level-creators and/or game creators like this. Even for how much I enjoyed a game like "Disney Infinity" that was heavily creation-based, I often ignored the creation aspect and skipped to the main "story mode" in the game, if you will. To that effect, when "Super Mario Maker 2" was announced, I kinda just responded with the same thing I always say about games that aren't for me: "I'm happy for the fans that wanted it, but I probably won't get it." But as you may know, I'm a largely offline gamer that enjoys single-player campaigns/Story Modes in games, so when I heard "Super Mario Maker 2" had a Story Mode, my interest was piqued and I chose to play the game. Boy, am I glad I did.
    "Super Mario Maker 2" is rip-roaring fun, even if you're like me and don't often create levels. The main Story Mode won't take you very long to beat, but there's incredible mission variety here and a lot of missions to complete. I still had about 10 pages worth of jobs to complete once completing the Story Mode, and even near the end, I still felt like I was learning so many new things. For those in it for the building, however, the new tools and mechanics allow for much deeper and more polished levels, and while the addition of the "Super Mario 3D World" theme might seem like a minor thing, it actually adds a nice extra dimension to the gameplay, with several new Power-Ups and ways to control as well (you can long jump, wear the Cat Suit, AND drive a Koopa Car! I might just be nerding out a bit more than I should but that's awesome!). And beyond that, the game is visually dazzling, the controls feel smooth, and the game is simply oozing with creativity. Even in the levels you can access in the main Story Mode, which were just pre-created by Nintendo, this is one of those games where you can just feel the fun the developers had in making it. It's a joyful and stunning game that brings with it all the best aspects of the 2D (and 2.5D, for that matter) "Super Mario" games.
    I honestly can't complain about much with this game. "Super Mario Maker 2" more than exceeded my expectations, and even as someone that doesn't create a ton of levels or anything like that, I found that the game gave me more than plenty to do, expanded upon the first game amazingly, and reminded me why the "Mario" platformers are some of the most charming, inventive, and creative games ever made. if you haven't had the chance to play this yet, you're doing yourself a disservice. Make it a point to check out "Super Mario Maker 2," because regardless of whether or not you're a builder, you're gonna have a blast with this one.

    One minute 8-bit Mario is kicking Koopa shells and bopping blocks and the next minute 3D Kitty Mario is pawing away at Goombas being shot out of a bullet cannon. Amazing player created levels already showcase the baffling level of creativity of the Nintendo gaming community. The dynamic between playing such skillfully crafted levels and knowing that you technically have the potential to somehow make them yourself is unlike anything else in modern gaming. Having not played MM1 I'm quite astounded at the way Nintendo has seamlessly rolled 30+ years of their classic 2D platformer into one cohesive package.
    When levels change from original Mario theme to the newer 3D Mario theme and then to Super Mario 3 graphics its not only cool but it's visually refreshing to my eyes!
    Hopefully the popularity of this game will lead to more games that allow players to leave their own fingerprints on the legacy of the games they love!

The first game was criminally underplayed on the Wii U, but was a brilliant game. The second game adds so much new content that it unfortunately but necessarily outshines Mario Maker 1. Slope, Snake blocks, Switch blocks, Cars, Meowser! Such simple concepts and ideas from existing Mario games massively expand your toolkit, leaving almost Infinite possibilities for level designers. If designing games isn't your thing, then playing other players may be more suited for you. What if your new to 2D Mario? The story mode is the perfect 'tutorial' to teach both new and existing players how different mechanics work and inspire creators to try out new things. Online with friends is unfortunately absent but thankfully is coming, online in general has been massively improved since MM1. Co-op play is exactly what I wanted, although the camera can lead to some issues, but this is a rare issue that only depends on the level design itself. Most importantly the 3D World style isn't just some cheap gimmick, it's a entirely unique and brilliant experience to try out even more mechanics, fight different enemies and use different power ups. Please get this game as soom as possible, it's the best game on Switch so far in 2019 in my opinion. 10/10 Expand

    This game is basically perfect. Sure, there are some trash courses, but in the end you get to play an unlimited run of courses including hundreds by professionals at Nintendo as well as other industry pros. Or you can make your own. If you like Mario even a little, you can lose months to this.

    This game is perfect. I really like the fact that Nintendo FINALLY put the Slopes for this game, since Mario Maker 1 doesn't has slopes. Not only the slopes has been add, bur a lot of other mechanics has been added to this game. Definitely a good and perfect game.

    I really love this game. It's way too perfect than Mario Maker 1. And finally It's about time Nintendo put the Slopes for the editor mode. Definitely a must play game for the Switch console.

    Es un juego absolutamente garantizado para quienes jugamos super Mario desde los inicios y a través de su evolución con los años, la creatividad de las personas es increíble. Lastima que esos que ponen un 0 por puro odio y solo basta leer para ver que ese es el motivante. Ojalá esta página respete mi rating.

    Super Mario Maker 2 takes everything good about its predecessor and builds on it. This is definitely not a definitive edition port of the first Mario Maker title like other games from the Wii U that sometimes plagues the Switch. This title stands on its own very well.

    Super Mario maker 2 has double the content that Super Mario maker 1, or even more, is simply a game that will give anyone hours and hours of fun and is a perfect sequel and not a port as many people say.

    with nothing more to add, just 10/10.

    As someone who's always loved level editors and admires game design, this is my childhood dream come true. I make my own levels in the Mario universe and it feels great. It is a fairly robust level editor when you consider the "simplicity" of the level design.

    It is a great game about-as the title suggests- making Mario levels that gives the players so much fun making levels that they like. I suggest it to any Mario fan because it provides infinite possibilities of Mario levels and as The Game Theorist says “it has more possibilities than there are stars in the universe” and that was just the FIRST game he said that to.

    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.
