What you have to do is place the block, place the item you want in the block by the block, and then drag the item into the block. My biggest complaint though is that putting items in boxes is not intuitive at all and I could not find any part of the tutorial that actually teaches you to do it. It is slightly annoying that you need a stylus to really optimize the creating portion of the game, but those are fairly inexpensive, and many people already have one, so it’s not a big deal. The story is lackluster, but if you’re playing this game for the story, I have many recommendations instead of this one. I’m not super creative, but it’s still fun to try out ideas when building courses and to see what others in the community can think of. I’ve really enjoyed my time with Super Mario Maker 2. I will say though that if you’re using the Switch in Handheld mode, you’ll probably want to get a stylus for creating courses. After selecting the aesthetic, the sky is pretty much the limit. You can choose from a variety including Super Mario Bros., Super Mario World (my personal favorite), or even New Super Mario Bros. The first thing you’ll probably want to do is decide which Super Mario game’s aesthetic you’d like. This is where, you guessed it, you get to make courses. Some of these courses are ridiculous.Ĭourse Maker is where you’ll probably spend most of your time though. This also makes you wonder how crazy skilled some people are at Mario. The nice thing is that you know that they can be finished as creators have to complete the course in order to upload it. These range wildly in their difficulty and in themes. You’ll probably spend quite a bit of time in Course World, as that’s the place where you can play other people’s courses. The pre-made courses used are really interesting and can help give you inspiration for your own courses. The story is really weak, but it’s not the point of this game. Also, once work starts on a section, you’ll have to complete so many courses in order to finish that section. You do this by playing premade courses to get coins.

That means Mario and friends have to rebuild the castle again from the ground up. Mario and his friends have just finished rebuilding Peach’s castle when someone accidentally hits the reset button and undoes all their hard work. The story in Story Mode is not very deep. There are three main parts to Super Mario Maker 2: Story Mode, Course World, and Course Maker. A game based around building a game (more or less) is a fun break from slaying monsters and solving puzzles. Now, I cannot compare the two since I never got the chance to play the original, but here are my thoughts on the sequel. The entire game is about being able to create and share your own Super Mario levels for you, your friends, and even strangers on the internet to enjoy. Super Mario Maker 2 is the successor to the 2015 Wii U game Super Mario Maker.
