I think the best thing about the game is just how much they push fairness when creating courses. In so many of the tutorial lessons in the dojo, they repeatedly bash you over the head with making stages that are fair first, difficult later. Feels like they recognised how much people get sick of seeing insane troll levels and, without just outright not allowing them to be made, communicated the idea of making levels fairly and how that can still be fun for people to play and make.

Another reason that the levels are WAY better because unlike SMM1 where levels IMMEDIATELY get thrown into the level pool upon upload, SMM2 levels enter a New Courses section where they can have a chance to enter the level pool by getting a like and being played. New Courses courses don't appear in the Endless Challenge.

It's truly amazing what gamers can truly make all because of their passion for the franchise. I'll probably never achieve that type of creativity, but I'm glad everyone is. Plus, seeing Super Mario Land Mario is surreal in this day and age.

The only problems I have with Mario Maker 2 is that some of the clear condition in Story Mode are not available in the course maker and the multiplayer is still laggy. I know Nintendo said they were going to add Friends Online but the game has been out for a month and we still don't have it yet. Regardless I enjoy this game. My favorite part is playing different levels because I see what people create and it gives me a reason to keep coming back and playing different levels. Its way better than it was in Mario Maker 1.

The boo feature is a good idea and all but it can also really screw over perfectly talented course makers. All it takes is for the first few people playing your levels to be complete Neanderthals that exit your stage as soon as they fail even once and give your stage a Boo and nobody's going to play your stage after that. Not unless you go around shoving your course ID in everyone's faces and even that's not a guarantee. I don't know how I can make my courses any easier without being patronizing and yet most people can't complete any of the courses I publish.

But have you played Bowser's Big Bean Burrito?

Love your videos! Unfortunately when I go in Endless mode I get LOTS of stinkers still but it's probably before they've been boo'd a fair amount (or was it just one course at a time.. there were some were I couldn't like or boo, maybe an option until something's been beaten) but yeah I hear you on creativity.. I thrive for it and have been building lots. Glad to hear you are addicted too!

I love making levels that are just so out of this world wacky. I've been working on a Galaga style shooter with upgrades, a level where Mario has to get tons of things to out weigh the titling platform, and an actually movie with Goombas and Koopa Troopas at war. It's so much fun. Also making levels and sharing them with friends only to ruin their lives is great.

1:30 having received a "first clear" award from an expert endless level, I can confirm you're wrong on this.

I'm pretty including the heavy stones and Toad collection levels in story mode was a deliberate choice to act as a teaser for new features yet to come - or features that just weren't ready in time for release; those two stuck me as having the potential to be particularly bug-prone if thrown haphazardly into a level, and they seem to be making a definite point of preventing bugs and exploits this time around.

You should definitely look at levelhead! It has a unique 'marketing' mechanic to filter out levels, and interesting mechanics within the game itself.

Came here to say this

If anyone here still plays Mario Maker 1 because they can’t afford 2 or a Switch yet, please check out levels by a user named Bourgyman. He has moved on to the sequel as well and is currently creating great new levels, but he has left behind some pretty genius and entertaining ones in the original. Make sure to download them and enjoy before the online service gets cut for Wii U!

I feel like the story mode of mario maker 2 is very underrated it teaches the player how to make good courses while also feeling like its own mario maker game and if nintendo wants to add more course parts as DLC i want it to come with more story mode.

The best part, for me, is the themes! Oh how wonderfully thematic some of them feel. Gone are the days of "eh guess I'll add this" where every item was used. Now we have actual levels, with core design elements. Rubber Ross is an amazing example of this, with his levels he only has around 2-4 unique objects, ignoring blocks. "This level has icecycles, twisters and on/off" made for a far better level than the MM1 "the only theme is bad design"

*overall lack of bad stages I've come across* _chuckles in levels with a million bowsers and items that you find in online multiplayer_

My favourite thing about Mario Maker 2 is seeing what I can recreate and put a twist to. Such as remaking the Sunken Ghost Ship as a traditional airship level, or remaking the Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom series.

But what about Zelda 2 Maker?

I can't with Lexie "OOoh yeah He's addicted"

I love all the amazing and creative level many people from around the world they have made.

my favorite part of mario maker is messing around with the editor n finally built my first level ever yesterday since i didnt mess round with the editor in maker 1 but now after making my first level i became addicted to it now and also completing story mode too.

I like that I can make levels without my hands being cramped to hell from holding the gamepad or the stylus. That alone burned my creative drive out of my head with the original Mario Maker. In this one I actually took on a mini-project of making a 12 course game that ranges from Easy to Hard and it's been a lot of fun!

I don't own a switch nor a Wiiu. But as a kid I spend like.. Most of my time playing Mario. Both on the NES and the all-stars version on the SNES. On the N64 I played a lot of Mario aswell. Lately I've found myself just binging on SMM 1 and 2 streams and videos. I really enjoy watching the pros play the Super Expert Levels.

One thing I really wish mario maker 2 had was advanced level editing options. There are so many cool level ideas I've had that were completely ruined by the default game options. Like being able to change whether a specific enemy respawns off screen or an enemy's movement speed.

@jvanb1751

Using bombs and blocks could help with respawning off-screen, using a conveyor could help with movement speed. But yeah those are pretty complex contraptions to get right...

The Mario Maker videos on Alpharad Plus are definitely my fav part of this game

I like that it's on the switch, but I still wish some costumes were included in the game. When I finally get a mario maker game, I suppose I could make do... I think I'll like the music stages. also the game has a good visual style and fun to watch. And the story mode sounds amusing.

This makes me want to go get it. Kudos

I can respect many of the changes made to remove glitches or particular types of inputs (no midairs) that had legitimate uses but automatically barred a lot of people from trying. But I wish they had applied that kind of thought throughout, so that it was still possible to download courses to understand how they work, and to add the ability to watch ghosts of the upload clear and world record, to demystify the deliberately opaque. Having written those out, I can see how Nintendo's recommendation algorithm changes should be filtering out the levels where those features would be most useful, but even in that case, not being able to change or even just remove a vote feels bad.

I think the only things that kinda bother me in Mario Maker 2 is the lack of visual stuff you could add (sometimes) and that the game presets certain stuff for you (examples: low gravity, upside-down levels, etc.) and I wish people would be able to toggle that on or off. An option to set your own amount of lives for Endless Challenges would also be useful (it'd cap at 50 or 100) Apart from that SMM2 is miles better than the prequel

tbh he was a bit harsh on some of the levels. and at least none of the story mode levels were real hot garbage (y'know, with kaizo blocks and such)

I really really like mm2 but I also get really frustrated with some additions Like, so many of the additions are interactive and versatile, but the angry sun/moon is so, the opposite of that. It does one thing and that's it, and you can only have one per subworld! Plus, you can't put a sun in nighttime or a moon in daytime. On that point, the way mechanics are forcibly tied to day/night is really bad if I'm honest. Like, it's cute when you see it the first time, but eventually you just start to get frustrated. "I'd like to make this ground level at night" - you can do it but now you're not allowed to place 1-up mushrooms, goombas float in the air, and thwomps chase you "I want to make a sandstorm" - ok but only at night, you fool, you absolute moron "This stage uses the castle aesthetic but I want it to be night-time" - swim time! Did you not want swim time? Too bad, swim time! "can I place the poison mushroom?" - Are you in the ground night-time theme? - "no" - Then how dare you "Ok so I like the look of night-time but I want the music to stay the same" - *knowing smirk* It's just a really bad implementation of some really good ideas. I wish the game was more modular, I wish you could put water, poison, or lava in any level, I wish you could toggle night-time aesthetics, music, and mechanics separately, hell, more than that, I wish the night-time mechanics were a separate option altogether from the theme, and I wish you could use whatever music you wanted for whatever stage you wanted. There's just a lot of problems with modularity. If you want to use the tools in the specific way the devs intended you're allowed, otherwise you're blocked. Only three liquid speeds, only three scroll speeds, no way to set, say, a trigger for liquid to move to a specific place or something like that, no way to permanently change between different sound effect music tracks partway through a stage, only two subworlds, it just leaves me with a lot of frustration trying to put my ideas into action. More than anything the game could really just use like a trigger/flag system, and I hope they add one.
