Super Mario Maker 2 Reviews
Super Mario Maker 2 is a remarkable continuation from the original game. This new entry in the series takes the best elements of the previous one and adds a huge number of new elements, modes and styles. The creator mode is larger and deeper, the online multiplayer is just fun; but the story mode lacks on personality. Even though the game is bigger and extensive, it is definitely not the ultimate Mario Maker.

Super Mario Maker 2 overall is entirely worth your time if you enjoyed the first game or if you've ever had a favorite Mario game that stood out to you, especially since the game encompasses worlds that come from the original Super Mario Bros. experience to more modern versions. Other games in the past have attempted and failed to make enjoyable experiences out of player-driven content while placing the onus on the community, Super Mario Maker 2 is a prime example of what that strategy looks like when it works. Considering the thriving community the Nintendo Switch boasts, this feels like a game that's in no risk of running out of content for the foreseeable future.
Super Mario Maker 2 does not re-invent or distort anything compared to the current panorama of Level Editors but thanks to the important name it boasts, and the impeccable gameplay that follows, it manages to stand out from other productions for the immediacy of use and the variety of content that it can offer to the player.

Mario Maker 2 offers a fun and more dynamic package than the original game. A surprising and enjoyable Mario classic in the making, with plenty to offer creators and non-creators alike.
Super Mario Maker 2 shows that it may all have started as an experiment on the Wii U, but the Super Mario Maker series is becoming the most unsuitable and at the same time logical new way for the 2D Mario games to follow and evolve.

It’s inspired gamer’s and developers for generations, and Super Mario Maker 2 will inspire many young gamers for many years to come. The tools given here to a younger generation of gamers will only inspire a new pool of developers in the coming years. Think, Design, and show it to the world. Super Mario Maker 2, shows the industry how groundbreaking the Mario franchise is, and forever will be.
Super Mario Maker 2 is a deeper experience of what we saw in the first game for Wii U. The game uses its “main campaign” component as a way to show what's possible using the tools available and the building part of the game is surprisingly intuitive while using the joy-cons.

When all is said and done I feel that Super Mario Maker 2 does an excellent job of delivering both an amazingly deep, and intuitive, creation tool, while coupling it with a fun single player campaign full of classic Nintendo charm.
Nintendo really has something with Mario Maker, and it’ll be interesting to see how it continues to grow, because it has perhaps one of the most interesting communities in all of gaming.
Super Mario Maker 2 is everything you would want in a sequel, so do not delay and go play it now!
Super Mario Maker 2 is similar to other Nintendo titles in that it offers a level of creativity not seen elsewhere in the gaming industry but also misses the mark in a few areas which other developers more than often get right. In particular, the online play is brilliant in concept but lacking in execution, which is more of an issue now Nintendo is charging Switch owners to play over their network. That being said, Super Mario Maker 2 succeeds where the likes of Little Big Planet or Dreams have failed in offering creators a rigid framework on which to build their creations, something even a child can have fun with. The options are less varied, but nothing can be truly be broken and very few levels are painful to play. Super Mario Maker 2 is absolutely essential for Nintendo Switch owners and another jewel in the crown of what is shaping up to be Nintendo’s best console. I give it the Thumb Culture gold award, since I didn’t have any stars or coins lying around.
If you have kids that like to build or draw in their free time, Super Mario Maker 2 is an excellent addition to their screen time. When they aren't around, you'll be equally enthralled with the game especially if you have a history with the Mario franchise. Small gripes like building levels on the TV pale in comparison to the overall enjoyment you'll get from this game's enormous amount of content. Super Mario Maker 2 is a must play game and will go down as one of the best games released for the Nintendo Switch.
Super Mario Maker 2 is an endless supply of joy that beautifully builds off the foundation of its Wii U counterpart.
Super Mario Maker 2 is a great sequel to our beloved Super Mario Maker. We do not only get a offline single player mode with more than 100 levels created by Nintendo, we also get new online features and a much more enhanced level editor in which we can build with a friend together at the same time.

This peculiar blend of editor and game works because of how it uses limits to guide the users' experience.

In the end what will make or break Super Mario Maker 2 is the online community and the quality of content it provides. Super Mario Maker 2 is both a homage to the games from the past that we know and love and a creative addition to the franchise.

Super Mario Maker 2 is - like its predecessor - a pleasure to play and intended for two types of gamers: the people who like to put their creativity into building levels and the people who want to play many unique Super Mario levels; and that makes the game so much fun.
Super Mario Maker 2 is following the footsteps of the first game but offering much more freedom and better experience. It delivers huge amount of content for countless hours of fun.
