    Mario Maker 2 is my first maker game and I really enjoy how creative this game lets me be. It is rewarding to make my own levels, and it is even better to just jump in to other people's creations. The single player mode is short but fun, and I really like how polished the whole game feels.

    For anyone who is a Mario fan will love this game. Not only can you create your own levels but it has a campaign which is great because it switches between the classic Mario's and the modern Mario games so it never gets old. Then you can play endless levels that other people have created. Would recommend!

    There’s so many choices for stuff to put in your own levels, plus speed running levels in online multiplayer is really fun. Posting courses makes you feel accomplished, the story mode is short, but sweet For what it’s worth, and there’s even more to come in the future via updates, this game is great!

    Best 2D Mario Ever

    The original Mario Maker was great. One of the most compelling reasons to own a Wii U. I really hoped that they would bring it over to Switch or would make a sequel but didn't have high hopes because of the reliance on the Wii U gamepad to build levels. After building a practice level or two in Maker 2, I'm satisfied with how they translated the level-building interface to controllers and ready to say this might be the best 2D Mario game ever. The game might seriously be worth it just for the single player mode alone with over 100 levels from the Mario developers packed in. If you want to design levels -- obviously the big draw of the game -- you will be highly satisfied with all the options it gives you. But between the single player and user-created levels online, any fan of Mario will be playing this game for years whether they enjoy building levels or not. Throw in multiplayer that the first game didn't have and this game is the ultimate 2D Mario experience. Add it to the list of increasingly long must have Switch games.

    I had a very fun experience playing this game. I went on story mode first to get a feel for the controls and I felt each playstyle of 2D Mario was handled extremely well and felt unique as well as fun. Creating levels felt addicting too, and will probably be how I spend a good chink of my playtime.

    Super Mario Maker 2 - BLAST FROM THE PAST!

    Very fun game! It is a very nostalgic blast from the past! I think the coolest part about it is that they incorporate themes from all the original super Mario games from NES, SNES, and GameCube that we know and love. I also love that we as gamers are able to play and interact with the community of people who love Mario and Luigi all the same by playing on custom maps that others have made. It’s both challenging and engaging at the same time! In Super Mario Maker 2, there is always something fun to do. That’s what makes this a 5 star game!

    I bought this game for my son and he loves it. What I like the most about it is the fact that he can be very creative. He can build different stages and save them to share with his cousins. The game has very intuitive tools.

    It took me awhile to get use to gaming, since the switch is my very first console. At first I was very bad at this game. After a few months I’m finally making progress. It a fun game, would recommend.

    You can really let your creative side shine in Super Mario Maker 2. So many great games you can make! And you can also play other people's fun games that they created. In addition you get notified when someone plays a game you created and if they liked it or not. So you inspire each other!

    My son loves this game! It helps kids get their creative juices flowing. You can design levels in a ton of different ways. If you have a kid that's interested in creating video games, game design, engineering, then this game is for them.

    After hearing all the hype about this game, I thought I’d check it out for myself. I did not play the original. So I didn’t know what to expect. There is a story mode you can start with, which has about 100 Nintendo-created levels that try all sorts of mechanics. I think if that was the whole game, I still would not be disappointed; but the user created content is where the longevity for this game is. Now I’m not a creative type, and I don’t think I could design a level of my own; but there are already a lot of creative, well-thought out levels available which shows me there will be a ton of content for a long time to enjoy.

    Mario maker two expands and adds on to what made the first Mario maker so great. The ability to create your own levels is still intact with additional features such as the ability to add slopes and various other mechanisms to your levels. The new additions allow you to more closely create levels inspired by your favorite Mario games. Perhaps the best addition is the new single player story mode. Well there is not much story to this mode, it does come packed with 100 Nintendo made levels for you to complete and unlock. Perhaps the best edition is the new single player story mode. Well there is not much story to this mode, it does come packed with 100 Nintendo made levels for you to complete and unlock. For those that have been wanting a new to the Mario game in the vein of the old-school ones, this may be as close as we get for a while. I found the story mode fun and challenging.

    My 8 year old son loves to design Mario worlds and levels on Mario Maker. We just bought SMM2 and he loves it just as much. The second version includes 3D world, more maps, more enemies, and just overall more content. Also added is story mode that adds to the playability.

    This is platforming madness in the best way possible. This game lets creativity run wild and puts the most seasoned players on edge due to the challenges this game provides. This is a must have on the Switch especially for those game nights with the new 4 player levels.

    This game allows you to create your own stages to make Mario art. You can puzzle stages where you hunt for keys or search for the right path of pipes, action stages where you must fight enemies to unlock the goal, or speedrun stages where you hold the run button and forward on the Dpad and leave luck to heaven because you will have to guess when to jump. A great variety of stages will keep this game feeling like a challenge for years to come, however a 32 stage upload limit exists. On the offline side of things you can play story mode and take on stages to rebuild a castle with money from stages that have a hint with "job descriptions." The game easily earns it's $60 price tag with variety brought by the ingenuity from Mario fans around the world, and as long as you enjoy the 2D platforming from Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros U, and a 2D version of Super Mario 3D World.

    Its just the orignal game plus more options which is great. I miss not having the tablet to make stages but the wheels work fine. Even if you don't want to ever make a level I'd say its worth buying for all the hundreds of thousands of levels people make you can play.
