About this game
Super Mario Maker 2 puts the course layout in your hands. Place objects and enemies, choose a theme and game style, and combine familiar parts into challenges. An ON/OFF Switch can swap colored blocks or reverse conveyor belts, turning a simple interaction into a route or timing problem. Two players can also build together on one screen. Story Mode provides Nintendo-designed courses tied to rebuilding Princess Peach's castle. With the World Maker update installed, your own saved courses can be linked through a world map. Online sharing adds other players' creations to the activities available: membership is required to upload and access courses, while downloaded courses can be kept locally for later offline play.
Collected in series

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
For players who enjoy understanding a platforming challenge by designing one.
Switches that alter blocks or conveyor direction give course ideas concrete rules to build around. Nintendo's Story courses offer a separate playing path, while World Maker may appeal to creators who want individual stages to form a connected journey.
Strengths
- Combining parts can let a creator explore how one rule changes movement through a course.
- Story courses and the editor allow players to alternate between tackling challenges and inventing them.
Who it is for: Players interested in course design, rule-based platforming puzzles or sharing construction ideas with someone on the same screen.
Play notes: Online course sharing requires paid Nintendo Switch Online membership. Local wireless play requires each player to have a console and a copy of the game.
