    This game is absolutely fine for what it is. It exists, it is Mario Maker, and it is technically playable. In fact, the addition of story mode is wonderful, and many of the new things are great! However, the online is f****** worthless, unplayable garbage with little moderation and slow connection. Not to mention you have to pay for online, despite the fact that it is garbage.

    Simply one of the best games ever made. So many possibilities with the incredible fun and intuitive course builder. Go play it!

    This is every 2D Mario, and more. Way more! It's a dream game come true. An endless stream of auto-polished Mario challenges, and a playground for creative minds.

    Probably my biggest disappointment on Switch to date. Somehow worse than New Super Mario 2 on DS. It just feels old and dull.

I'm so happy that I pre-ordered this game because it included a stylus which is essential whenever you want to edit the course and add new obstructions and power-ups. There is nothing to miss in this game and the courses created by users adds greater experience even though it requires that god-awful Nintendo Online Service. The online co-op is totally recommendable to play with your friends or mates and I haven't suffered any issues. This is a game that you must play in 2019 if you own a Nintendo Switch. Well done Nintendo… Expand

    A must buy , it is worth it just for playing all the great levels out there! Building levels is also very easy and intuitive but yes you need an hour at least to build something worth ranking.

    I was going to give this game a 9/10, but I have seen many people have given the game very bad marks althoufh they say they havent't played it. It is horrible how people can do this. I understand that people may not like it, but the game isn't bad, at least 7 or 8. So I give it 10/10 to try to compensate a bit of those unnecessary marks.

    This game is very good. It's fun, enjoyble and long, so long that in fact it never ends. When you finish the "Story" mode, you can create the levels you want in meny different styles with a lot of features many new ones. But also you can play unlimited amount of levels made by other people and with cooperative. This game is amazing. (Best with Nintendo Switch Online, to fully enjoy the game).    … Expand

    Game fantástico, super criativo, muito bem feito e que vai te prender por muitas horas em frente da tela. Basicamente é a mesma ideia do MM1 onde o protagonista pela criação das fases é o próprio jogador. Além disso, as fases podem ser compartilhadas e jogadas por todos os jogadores do mundo. Simplesmente fantástico.

    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.

    One of most surprising new additions is Super Mario Maker 2’s story mode, which has as much depth as you'd expect from a Super Mario story: Undo Dog accidentally presses the reset button on Peach's castle, destroying it. It's up to Mario to make it right. To do so means beating increasingly difficult levels, which earns you coins needed to repair the castle.

    I loved MM1, but this game is awful - why? Because of the Boos. My kid felt so down when she she realized her levels were buried because of boos. MM1 was so much better for the young kiddos. They turned MM into a streamers day job.

    Bought this game thinking that when you publish a level online people would play it and everyone would have fun playing each others levels. After all, that's how it was advertised. Maybe the algorithm would put it in someone queue or something. This is not the case. If you want anyone to play your levels you have to go online and beg people to play it.

    You can't play this "game" online because its P2P and lags a lot with people from another country, its innapropiate for a company like Nintendo to have P2P servers on a 2020 game. Also you have to pay Nintendo Online subcription so why P2P servers?

    Also its the same game as Super Mario Maker so i dont see the point why they just put a "2" on the name and sell the game as new

    The online multiplayer is completely broken. It's extremely laggy, and it's very unlikely that Nintendo is going to fix it. This game is literally the same thing as the first Mario Maker, but with broken multiplayer. Do not buy this game if you've already played the first game.

    You literally need a "japanese size" TV to be able to get good at this game. Normal difficulty is fine, but Expert needs you to have awareness of what's going on on the screen at all times, so it just doesn't work.

    Online sucks. Laggy crap that proves Nintendo just can't do online. This is what I expect from a game released in 1998, not 21 years later in 2019.

    Game has.... soo muuuch traaaash. The "endless" mode which is supposed to be the "main" mode is just a randomizer. It doesn't pick levels that are "good" by any measure, so you encounter these literal trash levels that are just a chore to play. They're "hard", but never for the right reason.

    I'm dissapointed. The only fun I had was looking through the course board for gems. But what kind of game is that?    … Expand

    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.
