Super Mario Maker 2 Reviews
Super Mario Maker 2 offers a short but sweet story mode and even more robust level creation tools, with truly impressive user-created levels that are a blast to play.
A quirky and powerful construction toy that's fun to play with even if you aren't trying to make anything.
Super Mario Maker 2 does nearly everything better than its already excellent predecessor, keeping the charm of a Mario game while introducing some incredible new ideas.
Super Mario Maker 2 is an almost perfect package, putting equal emphasis on discovery, creation, story mode, and outright brilliant gameplay.
Building your own Mario levels isn't as exciting as it was in 2015 on Wii U, but the story mode is a lot of fun and the new tools lead to some novel experiences
Super Mario Maker 2 brings the course creator to Nintendo Switch with a bevy of new tricks to delight creators and players alike.
Nintendo’s level creator isn’t just for the creative among us
Nintendo has delivered a much more robust and feature-rich Mario maker, and hope players will use it well.
Course creators can look forward to an amazing game-making tool set whose depth is matched by its accessibility, while players have a functionally endless set of Mario courses to dig through over the course of years.
It probably comes as no surprise to learn that Super Mario Maker 2 is good. Just how good it is exceeds expectations, however.
Super Mario Maker 2 is still heavily about the creation process, but adds great new features that make it even more enjoyable than ever before.
Put in as simple a manner as possible, this is likely to be the last 2D Mario game you’ll need. It’s Super Mario Maker but with more of everything that made the original so phenomenal.
So as long as the war between me and Noie can rage on, I'm going to keep loving Super Mario Maker 2.
Despite the multiplayer being slightly underwhelming, the new creation tools, single player story, and addition of Super Mario 3D World make Super Mario Maker 2 a fantastic overall package.
Super Mario Maker 2 is the game that keeps on giving, while leaving enough room to build in the future--despite a few places for improvement.
Nintendo brings to Switch one of its most successful games of Wii U, although it comes already without that surprise. Multiplayer modes, new styles and tools, more intelligence in the puzzle levels ... This second Super Mario Maker is essential if you didn't have the original, and if you are excited with the challenges created by others. This game is a tribute to 35 years of jumping and Goombas.

But that toolkit is only half of the equation. The other half is a platform game with no quality control, no impetus for putting legitimate effort into your original designs, and no way to weed out poor content creators other than trusting that players will be able to discern the difference between a bad level and good level and rate them accordingly. Given how many positive messages I've seen attached to genuinely bad stages, I don't have much faith in the Mario Maker community right now and I question whether it'll get better down the line.
Despite recurring technical problems that have become synonymous with Nintendo games, Super Mario Maker 2 is still an essential Switch purchase, building upon the groundwork laid by its predecessor and adding so much more.
Highly engaging whether you want to create levels or not, Super Mario Maker 2 is utterly fantastic.
SMM2 it's more fun and full of content than its precursor, but at the same time it's a step back, because it put walls around some content (World Levels, created by players), forcing you to subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online to play that part of the game. And it's an important chunk, because after completing the Story mode, it's the place to go.
