A new stone - solid and ingeniously carved - in the building construction "MarioWare".

Super Mario Maker 2 is an almost perfect package, putting equal emphasis on discovery, creation, story mode, and outright brilliant gameplay.

Super Mario Maker 2's newfound strength is hidden within the details, and that is what I really like about it. In its wake, it lost some of its Mario Paint roots, but Story Mode brings enough fun to overcome that sadness. Players and creators, rejoice.

Well crafted, feature rich and with all the class Nintendo can wield. An excellent editor that will keep creators and players busy for years.

As it stands , Super Mario Maker 2 represents today, despite some weaknesses, the most complete episode of the series: fanciful for the most passive platform devourers, indispensable for every creative of the Mushroom Kingdom that aims to be defined as such.

Super Mario Maker 2 has given birth to one of those proposals that will become as big as your community wants them to be. In short, a work whose content feeds itself for its possibilities and which is deployed as a video game that meets all that could be demanded.

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

It may have taken a few years, but the king of level creation is back and better than ever. Super Mario Maker 2 might not reinvent the wheel, but it refines the entire level creation process to near perfection. An absolute must-buy for anyone with a Nintendo Switch.

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 is another Nintendo Switch essential. With more things to create with, more unique stages to play and better online functionality, this is the definitive Super Mario Maker experience. Honestly, the game is good enough to have the story mode sold separately, but the fact that it's bundled with such a powerful stage creation tool is incredible. This is one of the best Mario games of all time.The links above are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, Wccftech.com may earn from qualifying purchases.

It probably comes as no surprise to learn that Super Mario Maker 2 is good. Just how good it is exceeds expectations, however.

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.

Not just one of the most versatile 2D game creation tools on consoles but the best collection of new Super Mario courses since the 90s.

Players now have the chance to make their own hellish, evil Mario levels on Nintendo Switch. Super Mario Maker 2 starts with the foundation established in the first game, and adds new themes, new game styles, and new items. It falters due to the loss of the second screen of the Wii U and 3DS iterations, and the lack of Amiibo costumes hurt, but this is still a fantastic package for a Mario fan or budding lever designer.

Super Mario Maker 2 is all that the original was and more. The Story Mode feels like a proper campaign, demoing all of the old and new feature and barmy possibilities found in the intuitive level creator. It's a shame that it features some typical Nintendo online stumbles, but it shouldn't be long before that's forgotten in the face of the boundless creativity of the Super Mario Maker community.
