I don't have much to say about this game. The story mode is very good and contains levels that are better than those found in some 2D Mario games. However, if you don't have Nintendo Switch Online, you'll only be able to play this mode and none of the ones I'm about to **** level editor is well-equipped, but you still need to be at least somewhat creative to make good use of it. The tutorial videos are useful, although not particularly engaging. The World Maker feature is an incredible addition. Endless Challenge is a good idea on paper, but it's undermined by an issue that I'll talk about shortly.There are, however, some major problems. The online mode suffers from a lot of lag, making it practically unplayable. The game is entirely driven by its community, which means that 99% of the levels you'll play are average at best, if not outright bad. Even within the "Popular" category, I feel that levels are no longer as interesting as they used to be. You keep running into the same types of levels over and over again, and plagiarism is **** in any given week and you'll always find the same things: refresh levels (which I find unbearable), speedrun levels (almost always in the Super Mario World style with generic Unity-like background music), music levels (especially Kirby-themed ones), and mini-games (tennis, spot the difference, and so on). Even the most popular levels feel repetitive and uninspired at this **** game itself is very good, but the levels created by the community are far less imaginative than they once were, and it's very easy to grow bored of them.

The complete Mario Maker game, with 5 game-styles, so many themes, more power-ups and items, four characters to play, very good modes, etc. Love it since 2019 and must play this game who hasn't it yet.

Es entretenido cuando tienes la creatividad para hacer niveles, pero mi problema es el paywall que te ponen con la suscripcion online para jugar otros niveles (lo cual es mucho mejor que jugar de nuevo los que creaste y que tuviste que testear una y otra vez). Ademas limitaron en varios aspectos el editor de niveles a comparacion del anterior (donde habian bug's que podias utilizar para crear mecanicas). Aunque eso si, no me quejo de los nuevos añadidos como el creador de mundos, rampas y demas items añadidos al editor. Ademas de que el modo historia es mucho mas entretenido que el del juego anterior (que ni si quiera podria llamarse modo historia).

Can get boring at times and user made levels are usually really bad or close to impossible because they are usually made by kids.

I believe that this game can be fun and I do have fun with it sometimes. Making levels is only fun if you're skilled at it and know what you are doing. Playing levels is only fun if it's a good one because of how many bad levels exist. This game isn't perfect upgrade from mario maker. The costumes and the crt filter when you get the mega mushroom do not exist. But the main culprit has to be the story mode. In mario maker the story mode is peach is missing so you have to play levels until you rescue her. In mario maker 2 the story mode is that the castle was destroyed so you have to play levels to get money to rebuild it. This isn't bad but the way they do it is. Multiple levels don't give you any money so there's no real reason to play them. The difficulty is inconstant. Also the story mode goes on for way to long. It's just really not fun. But no one actually plays mario maker for the story mode. It's just strange they had a really great game about making mario levels and made some strange changes in the 2nd game. But they did add world maps so that's something.

Juegazo que mejoró desde la anterior entrega, aún más completo, con novedades que agradaron a los jugadores, se nota que pensaron en qué querían los usuarios que tuviera el próximo juego, entrega muchas horas de diversión y para todo aquel amante de los juegos de plataformas seguro ha sido una experiencia sensacional y emocionante. Ojalá Nintendo vuelva a ser como era con Satoru Iwata y ponga bastantes de sus artículos a precios razonables y accesibles y deje de ponerlos caros (precios justos y balanceados son los que deben poner, no cualquier tontería o Port a precio de locura), yo sé que no soy dueño de una empresa de videojuegos pero creo que 30-40 dólares como máximo estaría bastante bien para un videojuego de Nintendo Switch que sea de muy buena calidad y que sea muy costoso de producir, y ganarían dinero de sobra pero 70 dólares o más es excesivo.

User created Mario levels! Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe ****. I rate this game a door that leads to nowhere out of ten.

The sequel to Super Mario Maker for the Wii U is a really good game that you can buy on the Switch. The campaign is really good: you have to play as builder Mario whose castle has been destroyed buy a dog. So he needs to collect money around different levels and the rebuild the castle. However, Super Mario Maker 2's main attraction is the online, where you can post and play all the levels you want. You can also create a world in which you can put your levels together. That's crazy! The themes are great, with those being Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros. U and for the first time ever Super Mario 3D World. Overall, this is a great level-creator game and it sure is worth buying

Dobra gra najlepsze jest tworzenie poziomów oprócz tego jest story mode na około 7-8 godzin i można też z subskrybcją online publikować swoje poziomy i grać w poziomy innych

This game is like a poop restaurant where you get served straight **** the entire time, then one **** good peice of **** gets served and you're **** hooked! This game is just a bunch of children making **** which you **** eat! Worst game on this **** Dog-Piss PC platform. Listen, I'm getting a coffee, then playing some Old-School Runescape, then maybe, just maybe, I'll get the good ****. Thanks TenCent!

I don’t like this game because it’s too boring to play and build.(Not really recommended)

Simply put, it's Super Mario Maker but better, more styles, items and possibilities. I adore the 3D world style and it's my go to when creating. Each style is great to make a course in. I never thought that I would hit 175 hours but it was all a blast

Super Mario Maker 2 on Nintendo Switch delivers a uniquely creative platforming experience, empowering players to craft, share, and play an endless variety of Mario levels with ease and flair. The robust suite of building tools encourages bold experimentation—whether you’re plotting fiendish gauntlets or charming storybook adventures—while vibrant visuals and catchy music keep everything lively and accessible. The online community is bustling, constantly uploading inventive stages, offering inspiration, challenges, and friendly competition that extend the game’s replay value far beyond its built-in campaign. Some limitations in course discovery and the absence of certain community features found in other games may frustrate the most committed creators, but the joy of surprising or being surprised by the creativity of others remains front and center. As a testament to Nintendo’s legacy and players’ imaginations, Mario Maker 2 stands tall as a must-have for fans of classic platforming and inventive design alike. | SCORES: Gameplay: 8; Visuals: 8.5; Music: 8.5; Performance: 8; UI/Accessibility: 8; Community Support: 8; Innovation: 8.5 | Final Score: 8.0

muy buen juego, el modo historia es maravilloso, igual que el modo de creación de niveles que además me parece super original que en la creación puedas crear niveles de anteriores mario bros más antiguos, y pongo el 8 porque en mi caso no tengo switch online por lo tanto no puedo acceder a las creaciones de otras personas.

It’s really fun to play others levels but making them is such a pain. It’s okay though since I have hundreds of hours into this game.

Bon jeu, mais manque de nouveautés par rapport au 1. J'aurais bien aimé avoir le mini champignon, le pingouin, ou la fleur de glace.
Cependant, il y a un gros problème mais qui ne vient pas des développeurs, c'est les niveaux en ligne qui sont rarement bons. Soit des des niveaux très courts et très simples, sans ni queue ni tête, sans intérêt, donc très mauvais. Soit ils sont trops longs ou extrêmement durs,
ou alors c'est des niveaux trolls ou "automatiques" et c'est comme ça pour 90% des niveaux.

it is an amazing game that i would recommend to any and everybody, you can spend hours making your own courses and worlds with the large amount of things that you can use to make your level/course however you like.this game has a story mode with premade levels by nintendo which alone would justify the price of this game but you are able to play levels and worlds made by other people. The main focus of the game, where you make courses is great and the feeling that you get when you see how many people played and liked your courses is amazing. So far i have spent around 85 hours on this game and even though it is not perfect, it is the closest thing to it. The online is decent and it is enjoyable to race other people on courses but at times it does start to lag a little bit. you can choose from many different environments and themes from across the mario series/franchies and even choose among the different game styles from the series, such as: super mario bros 1, super mario bros 3, super mario world, super mario bros u deluxe and super mario 3d world.

I wanted to like this game more than I did. This game is more for people who are hardcore into insanely difficult platforming challenges rather than a more casual gamer.

Apesar de ter gostado bastante deste segundo jogo por ter mecânicas novas a sensação ainda é a de um jogo incompleto, por alguns motivos, Primeiro que o modo offline dele é bem curto e fácil de concluir, segundo que ele passa a mesma sensação do seu antecessor, que falta algo, falta mecânicas, falta personagens pra ser inseridos no mapa, inimigos, mais visuais de fases e backgrounds, o modo world editor é um ponto forte, mas carece de mais opções personalizáveis, a sensação é que eles ja fizeram o Mario Maker na intenção de fazer um segundo e este na intenção de um terceiro, um jogo fragmentado. O visual é o padrão do Mario já, belíssimo, mas falta algo!

This game made me think there was no further way to improve a 2D Mario platformer as most of the 2D Mario Style art and mechanics are already into this game giving players the ability to create our own levels thus the fun factor is endless. I’d personally add a local multiplayer option or an off-line mode (not necessarily having to download the levels)

Basically all the mario games (no mario wonder!!!) in one. I like the feature with custom levels from other players. I don'tcreate the levels, but i to play custom levels, but it requires NSO.

Mario Maker, aber mit mehr Content im Bau-Modus und man kann seine Eigenen Welten bauen. Auch geil. Vernetztes Spielen funktioniert zwar nicht immer so gut, aber die Idee aufjedenfall ist nice.

A masterpiece that only could be created by Nintendo. This game is incredible and only builds on what the Wii U revolutionised for this series of games. Including for the first time a story mode, which is wonderful and has good lore while also being filled to the brim with easter eggs and fun new items and level design. The final scene is cute and heart-warming. The versus mode is the only complaint, with it being absolute ****. I didn't play it much so it didn't really affect me but it was annoying at times. The editor and brand new world editor give you so many tools to create levels the possibilities are endless. This game is an infinitely replayable game, since people make new levels every day. This game also introduces Super Worlds, with the user being able to build and customise your own Mario themed worlds. No wonder this is my most played game on the switch with 180 hours. 9.3/10 Would highly recommend.

The game is burdened by a host of limitations that ultimately hold back its creative potential. One of the most glaring issues is how small and short the playable areas remain, which significantly restricts the scale and ambition of levels. Why not have 3 possible subareas and bigger ones? There's also a lack of an infinite timer option which is one of the most requested features during MM1. On top of that, level themes are frustratingly rigid, as liquids like lava, water, and poison are locked to only two themes for some reason. This prevents creative combinations like lava forests, lava grassy plains, poison deserts, or haunted house lava levels. It's impossible to make such combinations, which completely goes against this game's supposed "experimentation" philosophy. Nintendo tried to add more variation with the new night themes but failed miserably. They all look exactly the same which is really strange given that a level theme's main purpose is to give visual variety. And the music is really bad too, which honestly has made many people not want to use them. They all have their own unique effects like sandstorms, low gravity, the level turning upside down, etc, which is again a horrible way to implement such things and removes experimentation. A lava underground level with darkness isn't possible, so is a submerged airship with a sandstorm during the night, a waterless forest with low gravity, or a castle filled with poison, with a slippery floor, at night, nothing of this is possible, at all. Now, do you see how unfathomably much missed potential this game has? It'd be much better to have the night themes as additional aesthetic variations with no preloaded effects and let the player freely choose the effect(s) as a level setting instead. Paired with liquid freedom, this would open up countless possibilities and combinations, yet Nintendo decided to not let the player experiment, not even an inch, which is extremely sad and counteractive to what the game is supposed to be. Moving on, it's also strange that there barely are any new enemies in the game, and a lot of the requested ones like firebros and Porkupuffers are locked behind 3D World for some bizarre reason. The world maker, which was added in one of the content updates, feels very restricted as well and is limited to the Super Mario World style. We can go on and on with the game's unnecessary limitations. All these constraints combine to create an experience that feels unnecessarily restrictive. Instead of being a playground for creativity, the game ends up feeling far too constrained and underwhelming.

Sadly the game's many unnecessary limitations bring it down quite harshly. There's no way to mix level themes with liquids as they're locked in their respective 2 themes. So no lava underground, water castle, poison desert, lava sky, etc. The night themes all have the same exact background except the airship, and they all have similar tinny music, overall making them very unattractive to use. No infinite timer, only 1 subarea, only 4 doors per area, areas are still too small and short in scale, there's no way to draw semisolid tiles individually, there are barely any new enemies even after the 2 updates, world maker is very limited and only includes one style, a lot of the course parts feel uncannily rudimentary like the skewers, angry sun, twisters, 3D world is separate and even more limited than the other game styles, etc. The game even removes some of the course parts placing freedom from the first game. You can no longer place things in the starting area, a lot of objects can no longer overlap, a lot of quirks with some of the mechanics are completely removed, etc. It’s extremely difficult to find good levels in the online section, most is just hot garbage, “refreshing” levels or speed runs. Overall the game feels too limited, and this only hurts the game. Level editors shouldn't have such a giant pool of restrictions as it completely hurts experimentation and creativity.

Gioco molto creativo, divertente e strategico. Il sequel di un altro gioco che ha fatto la storia di Nintendo, che a mio parere è davvero FANTASTICO.

Same game as WiiU, with no new features. In fact, the forgot to add old features, such amiibos. If you had played the Wii U Super Mario Make, you would not like to spend your money to play the same game. Mismo juego que WiiU, sin ninguna novedad. De echo, han olvidado poner las antiguas funciones, como las de los amiibos. Si has jugado en la WiiU no te gustará haber gastado más dinero para jugar el mismo juego.

With the success of the first Mario Maker, a sequel was highly anticipated—and Super Mario Maker 2 definitely delivers. This installment brings back everything you loved from the first game, plus a whole lot more. One of the standout features is the added Story Mode, which is a pleasant surprise for players who aren’t as interested in user-created levels due to the inconsistent quality. Thankfully, Nintendo provides a variety of expertly crafted levels, making for an enjoyable and well-rounded experience. The inclusion of new power-ups, like the 8-bit Link, feels surprisingly natural and fits seamlessly into the Mario universe.However, the game isn’t without its flaws. Multiplayer mode can sometimes be nearly unplayable due to lag, which is a major disappointment. Endless Mode is a great concept, but the quality of levels is hit-or-miss, and more often than not, you end up with lackluster creations. If Nintendo curated this mode to feature levels based on completion percentages, it would be a significant improvement. The game also includes several suits and unlockables for your avatar, adding an achievement system that works well. For instance, you can unlock items by clearing 100 courses on normal difficulty or by winning three consecutive matches in Versus mode. While the core gameplay remains the classic Mario we all know and love, the level design possibilities and creativity in this game are limitless. Overall, Nintendo knocked it out of the park with Super Mario Maker 2.

Super mario maker is such an easier formula and they didn't do the one thing they needed to do. Not allowing all the old creations from the first game be playable was the dumbest thing ever. So stupid and ruins the entire game.

I adore this concept. A Mario game where I get to showcase my lack of creativity and imagination by making the most basic levels in existence whilst looking enviously at everyone else’s levels, which are all full of imaginative and creative ideas!

The best 2D Super Mario game, with infinite levels and unlimited replay value even with most player made levels being duds. But the Nintendo included experience is sure to make this the 2D Super Mario game to buy. Although it must be said that the creation maker element is substantially worse than the Wii U game due to the lack of the GamePad that gave that game its edge.

It's great.
The level isnt as good without the Wii-U gamepad, and somehow Nintendo hasn't made it better to find good levels. I say that because this game has really high, highs, but they're kind of hard to find. This is because you have to find the needle in a haystack with these levels. For every one 10/10 level there are 100 1/10 garbage levels.

Super Mario Maker 2 is the most creative nintendo game so far. Even that there are no updates anymore, its still a game you could play right now. You can create your own levels, put them online, explore people levels...
I don't like that you need Nintendo Switch online toplay people's levels online. I think that this game is really good, but it has it faults

The game needs to have some more content, I'm not saying it's garbage, I'm just saying that if you don't have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, you won't be able to have full access to the game like online play, playing other people's levels, etc... 5/10 it has no potential, but it's entertaining.
