Great price for a game with endless exploration of user made levels

If you like side scrolling Mario games, this is the ultimate game for you. While there is a solid story mode to play through that will give you 4+ hours of gameplay alone, there’s so much more. You can build your own Mario levels in five different Mario styles! With many unique pieces and settings you can let your creativity run wild. But if creativity isn’t your thing and you just want to play, you basically have unlimited Mario levels made by users to play online. From fun and easy to crazy difficult, there are almost endless levels online for you to play. Great for all ages.

Doesn’t feel as special as the original, but still a great level editor and still fun for those who aren’t interested in that side of the game and just want to play other’s creations

I actually didn't get the game - the delivery person didn't leave it at our apartment we're pretty sure or it got stolen. But we bought it again and do highly recommend! I just wish I Hadn't spent my $35 credits towards it only to have to buy it again. Super fun game tho!

I got this for my younger cousin. He mention he was saving up to try and get it so I saw it and knew I would have to get it. When he got It he wouldn’t stop hugging me and thanking me for such an amazing gift. Now the actual game..... This is an amazing game for a developing mind ( cousin is 10) It allows you to actually create the level you want. In a way it allows to express yourself and really indulge with creativity. This game will always be a new game as long as the creativity is there..

Mario Maker 2 is feature loaded with everything you could hope for to create your own unique Mario levels. There's really not a lot more you could ask for if you're addicted to 2D Mario platforming. The addition of single-player content for you to work through is excellent, as is the addition of allowing multiplayer in created levels. That being said I just can't give the game five stars. If you don't have the time, patience, or skills to create levels then the experience is lessened. I would recommend this to hardcore Mario fans looking for play as much as possible and to try grueling user created levels. I would recommend this to people who have the time and know-how to create things for themselves. However if you're just a casual 2D Mario fan and you're not interested in the creation tools, go try out New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe instead.

This is a great game for building interest in video game design. I bought this for my pre-teen during quarantine to make his video game play time more productive. The game allows to u to design, edit and play your own levels w all of the iconic Mario settings, enemies and power ups via a drag and drop method. The best part is that he and his cousin can share their levels with each other to compete in their builds!

Super Mario Maker 2 takes everything from the first game to the next level. The possibilities for every level are almost endless when new tools and additional Mario worlds were introduced to the sequel. Story mode adds another quirky adventure to the mix as it gives players an insight on how the developers poured their hearts into creating some interesting levels and more ideas on how their levels can be created. A joy to play and sink many hours into!

This is such an extensive package that you could look at a review from multiple different perspectives. It shines in every way. If you're a creator, the tools here are expansive and complete. Sharing online is a joy and having your friends (or strangers) try to complete your levels is fun. If you're like me and aren't much of a level designer, there's no shortage of fun levels to play, both by Nintendo's staff and other users. This is a must-own for the Switch.

Super Mario Maker 2 adds a ton of extras not seen in the original. From new gameplay modes (Super Mario 3D World) new power ups (fireball Mario) and new modes (Story Mode), Super Mario Maker 2 proves to be a worthy sequel to one of the Wii U's most popular titles. The actual editor isn't as intuitive as the original game, but that is mostly due to the shift of console and controls. If you enjoyed the first Super Mario Maker, you'll love the sequel.

This game is delightful. Cleverly walks you through the design process with challenges. Has an easy mode for babies so they don't get frustrated.

Great game! My children love creating their own levels and they have a lot of fun being creative. The combination of wolds from the oldest to newest Mario is super. You can play "story mode" with the ability to modify the level if you need a boost to pass the level of just for fun. I would certainly recommend this game to anybody, it's really fun and can encourages creativity.

Story levels are great only downside would be the need to have Nintendo online membership which isnt all that bad being 20bdollars for a year. Otherwise the main draw is levels made by others. Not hardcore? Normal endless run is probably the best way to play otherwise youre looking for a challenge. Creative type? You can build your levels although understanding the mechanics of the 5 different level types helps alot

Very fun game, easy to play, you get to create your own levels.

It has been decades since I played a side scrolling Super Mario game and this makes me feel like a kid all over again. Playing levels in the classic Nintendo and Super Nintendo style brings me right back to the 80s and 90s. The classic sounds bring and instant smile to your face. Plus, the chance to build my own levels? Awesome. This game is so much fun for your kids and your inner kid.

Super Mario Maker 2 has become a family favorite. It has something for everyone—from new players to veterans of the original 80s game system. It has two modes of play. Story mode provides prebuilt courses to earn coins and unlock new features. Build mode allows you to construct and share your own courses. We recommend starting with the story mode to familiarize yourself with the concept for building, and even cheating. As the courses grow more challenging, you're presented with the ability to make minor modifications. Adding an invincibility star or a well-placed brick can help you win a seemingly impossible course. Once everyone had a firm grasp of the mechanics, it was time to start building our own courses and worlds from scratch. Building has become the preferred mode for most of the kids (ages 6 and up). We're able to create easy courses for the youngest (age 3) to complete and hilariously impossible courses to challenge the adults. It has provided hours of gameplay that seems fresh each time. It has also been a great way for the kids to use their imagination. Sometimes they build freely or we have them draw out their ideas first, like blueprints or storyboards. This game was worth every penny!

This game is the entire reason I bought a Switch. I love watching people stream this game and wanted to try my hand at making levels. The level maker controls can be a little clunky with a controller, but they're not that bad once you get used to them. Overall the maker mode is quite powerful with what you can create. There are several youtube videos that can show you how to create various tricks in your levels (like reusable checkpoints). New in SMM2 is the Story Mode. They did a great job with this. It's a fun introduction to the game that can also help you learn how to do various techniques you may find in user created levels. Playing through the difficulties of user made levels is quite fun and there is something for players of all skill levels! You don't have to be a power gamer, and the game will let you go as far as you can. Nintendo is also regularly adding new content, features, etc. to the game in the form of DLC (Downloadable Content) which has thus far all been free. Overall this game does not disappoint, and was totally worth (IMO) buying a Switch to play. Now I want a Sonic Maker game (hey, I was a Sega kid). Quick Note: This game almost requires online access. While I'm sure some parts of it could be played offline, the main draw of the game (uploading and playing other user created levels) require online access.

this game is so much fun! i have lots of fun with it, challenging myself with all of the different difficulties that you can choose from. My two kids, 10 & 5, also have a ton of fun together or when they play solo. Building courses exercises their creativity and critical thinking plus they have a lot of fun testing out their levels. Excellent game & purchase!

This game is so much fun due to the customization of your own levels plus being able to play others levels they've designed!

Mario Maker 1 was an incredible experience and I wasn’t sure Nintendo could top it, but I was wrong. They’ve taken the formula from the first entry and have built on it wonderfully. This game has something for everyone whether your focus is to play or create. People create some pretty incredible levels and I’m always surprised just how inventive others can be. Give it a go!
