    Uno de los grandes títulos de la Switch, tiene absolutamente todo. Si el Mario Maker de la WiiU era perfecto, este es el Olimpo hech0 juego. Diversión por donde se le mire.

    Mario maker 1 fue increíble y está segunda parte la volaron. Calidad de historia muchos modos online demasiados retos. El juego que todo fan competitivo de Mario debe tener. Increíble merece una nota de 92.

    Well, this is an awesome game: the story mode is something totally unexpected, plus I can design thousands of levels and play other people's. Great game!!!!

    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.

    Lo tengo en la switch y era de lo que mas esperaba, no decepciona en lo absoluto... El 1 era perfecto, este es basicamente el 1 y con muchisimos (si, muchisimos) añadidos...
    Un juego eterno del que si te gustan los marios 2D, ¡nunca te aburriras!.
    PD: debo decir que las fisicas no son exactamente las mismas, para los entendidos en el juego, mecanicas como el mid-air con el caparazon ya

    Increible juego para todo fanatico del mundo Mario, te permite usar tu imaginación para crear niveles o si no tenes ganas de hacerlo tenes la posibilidad de jugar los niveles del modo historia, o los niveles que dia a dia va creando la comunidad

    As with everything on metacritic, ignore 10's and 0's. This game is more of a 6.

    This could just be the best creative game yet. With a easy to use tool and fun for hours even years Super Mario maker 2 is perfect except for no stylis, but you can fix that easily.

    me encanta, modos de juego muy adictivos, tal vez la unica pega es que para subir niveles cooperativos lo tiene que pasar solo uno, de ahi en mas todo perfecto en el modo historia encontre algunos retos que me encantaron, excelente juego, todo aquel con una nintendo switch deberia darle una oportunidad

    Mario Maker 2 probably deserves a ten. It offers so much content and things to do and play. The addition of a story mode is great and the 3D World skin gives the game more variety.

    This is an absolute must-buy for the Switch. It takes Mario Maker 1 and adds a huge amount of things to it. New styles, new themes, night versions of all of them, vertical levels, custom scroll, multiplayer co-op and versus both local and online, a full story mode, ...

    I could go on and on, but the tl;dr is that you owe it to yourself to get this if you even remotely enjoy platformers

    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.

    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.

    Super Mario Maker 2 is one of the best games on the switch. The amount of stuff it adds makes for unique ideas that the most creative people will sure enjoy.

    It may not have EVERYTHING that the Wii U game does, but Super Mario Maker 2 delivers another accessible, yet deep level creator, with many new features.

    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.
