Super Mario Maker 2 Reviews
Super Mario Maker 2 is both a worthy sequel and a fantastic entry point for newcomers.
Although it could be argued that the Wii U's dual screen is still the ideal way to play (and a stylus is definitely a plus), SMM2 still manages to shine on the Switch. Designing is a perfect background activity and the wildly fun multiplayer modes are sure to provide longevity. SMM2 has something for all kinds of players and makers and is Nintendo back at their creative best.
Super Mario Maker 2 not only brings back Nintendo's winning formula for a game based on level design of one of gaming's all time most successful series, it adds even more elements and makes it an unmissable effort for players of all kinds. With its expanded content, myriad of options and possibilities and accessible interface and player immersion, Super Mario Maker 2 is certain to become an instant hit.

Super Mario Maker 2 offers the complete construction kit-package for hobby Level Designer as well as Super Mario Veterans that want to challenge themselves or their friends offline and online. A little bit more creativity in the adventure mode of the game would've helped the game to reach its full potential but besides that Super Mario Maker 2 offers more than enough new content to get old fans of the first game to change to the Nintendo Switch.

Super Mario Maker 2 is a must-play and a must-buy for anyone and everyone who owns a Switch. No question.
Nintendo ups the ante on its quirky, creative Mario level-crafting toolset by making it even quirkier and more creative and offering a thoroughly entertaining story experience to go along with it
Super Mario Maker 2 could have been perfect if it mastered its local co-op but even without that feature, it is one fantastic game. Its Story Mode alone is worth its asking price and the endless array of courses you can find online and build yourself is just an added addition. I loved every moment of it and was hooked from the second I started building that darn castle. You will find lots to do here in Super Mario Maker 2.
Super Mario Maker 2 lets you create almost anything you can imagine, and looks great doing it too. Every level is a chance to challenge yourself and learn something new!
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.
This peculiar blend of editor and game works because of how it uses limits to guide the users' experience.

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.

Fantastic sequel to fantastic game. The editor is a huge combine harvester and I can't wait to see what the community will deliver!

With several ways to make and play, Super Mario Maker 2 is a stunning sequel for the Nintendo Switch. Create courses on the go or in co-op, try your hand at beating a level in the fastest time, or take inspiration from the developers themselves by playing the inventive levels seen in Story Mode. We just wish it had one more overworld to make those slots even. Super Mario Galaxy, anyone? After all, the sequel has the music and the Sky theme’s night effect makes things float. We’re already halfway there.
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 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.

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 does nearly everything better than its already excellent predecessor, keeping the charm of a Mario game while introducing some incredible new ideas.
Nintendo's newest make-your-own-game game is an essential Switch experience for Mario fans, but it might also be too much of a good thing
The definitive version of the Mario Maker concept, for better or worse. Super Mario Maker 2 delivers a charming, easy-to-use, but tool-heavy creative romp with near endless potential future content.
