'''''Super Mario Maker 2''''' is a 2D/{{wp|2.5D}} [[Genre#Platform|platforming]] and level-editing game released worldwide for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on June 28, 2019 and is the sequel to the 2015 [[Wii U]] game ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. First announced during the Nintendo Direct broadcast on February 13, 2019, it is the twenty-first entry in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]].<ref>スーパーマリオブラザーズ35周年. "[https://twitter.com/supermario35th/status/1301648749907902464 1985-2020年「今日の思い出マリオ」と題して、本日から少しずつ35年間のマリオタイトルを振り返っていきます。ハッシュタグの #思い出マリオ が目印です。どうぞお楽しみに。]" (Japanese text). ''[https://twitter.com/home Twitter]''. Published 03 Sept 2020. Accessed 13 Apr 2023.</ref> The game expands on its predecessor with new features such as a 2.5D level style based on ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', which incorporates some gameplay aspects from the 3D platformer, including the [[Super Bell]] power-up; new level themes, such as desert, snow, sky, and forest; further terrain options such as slopes; and a nighttime feature, which alters many course elements. In addition to [[Mario]], now [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], and [[Toadette]] are playable in both single-player and new co-operative and competitive multiplayer modes locally or online. An offline, single-player Story Mode is also featured in the game, which contains over 100 pre-installed courses made by Nintendo.

==Gameplay==

As in ''Super Mario Maker'', along with the main contents of the level, each level is set with a style, theme, and [[Time Limit|time limit]]. The starting platform is no longer visibly separated from any ground tiles placed beside it, which are instead merged into the platform. A new mechanic known as Custom Scroll is introduced, which allows the player to set a level to auto-scroll, as well as the directions at which to scroll, which can be changed up to 10 times per area. In forest-themed levels, a body of water can be added and/or set to rise and fall at a predetermined speed. In castle levels and nighttime forest levels, the [[lava]] and [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]] respectively can also be set the same function. The player also has the option to add [[#Clear Conditions|Clear Conditions]] to their level, such as collecting a certain amount of [[coin]]s or reaching the goal as [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]. Vertically scrolling sub-areas can also be created.

In editing mode, the basic functions from ''Super Mario Maker'' return, including [[Mr. Eraser]] and [[Undodog]], and the player can quickly switch between playing and editing by pressing {{button|switch|minus}}. As a new feature, the player can zoom in or out during editing mode to gain a different view of the level, the latter performed by clicking one of the analog sticks. If the player switches to ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, everything that has been placed on the editing screen will be erased, due to the style's course elements being vastly different from those of the other styles. Courses can now be edited cooperatively.

===Controls===

The following controls are listed in [[#Yamamura's Dojo|Yamamura's Dojo]]. In the default setting, {{button|switch|X}} and {{button|switch|A}} can be used in place of {{button|switch|Y}} and {{button|switch|B}} for dashing and jumping, respectively. The player can visit the "Settings" option to change the dash controls to {{button|switch|Y}} and {{button|switch|B}} and the jump controls to {{button|switch|X}} and {{button|switch|A}}, similar to the NES games, ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''.

There is a total of 46,411,484,401,953 possible Maker IDs and course IDs in total, with each ID having nine characters, and a total of 33 types of characters (every digit and letter of the alphabet, except for I, O, and Z) can be on the ID.

====Network Play====

Network Play allows the player to cooperate with three other players online to complete courses in Multiplayer Co-op, or compete against them to clear the course first in Multiplayer Versus. Each player is assigned to one of four characters: [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], or [[Toadette]]. The player can also connect locally to other players who own the game, though the players' Versus Ratings are not affected in this mode.

Players are matched with opponents who have a close rating. The maximum Versus Rating appears to be 8000.

The player can also receive stars temporarily spinning around their [[Mii]]. They can be one bronze star, two silver stars, or three gold stars, depending on how fast they finished the course once the current Ninji Speedrun event is over.

=====Courses=====

There is a total of 21 Ninji Speedrun courses.

Unlike in the story mode, the extra lives carry over if the player enters a new level, but the power-up will still be lost. The player can set the number of lives with which they start off (from 1 to 99) and the theme of the world. Although worlds only appear in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' style, the levels themselves can be of any style. Up to five levels can be included in a world including the castle level, while each Super World can have up to eight worlds.

All Super Worlds are saved to a variation of the Coursebot known as the [[Worldbot]]. Up to six Super Worlds can be saved.

====Themes====

Each theme has its own set of aesthetic features that can be added to the world for decorative purposes by adding plain terrain and holding it down on the touch screen to change it.

*The Angry Sun will start attacking the player much earlier, and can damage them even before attacking.

*The water has a clearer, translucent blue color.

*[[Blooper]]s and [[Blooper Nanny|Blooper Nannies]] can rise out of water, instead of stopping at the top.

*[[Boom Boom]] now flies off-screen with the stomped sprite when he is defeated instead of exploding and leaving a [[Magic Ball]] behind.

*[[Frozen Coin]]s now have a shimmering effect. When the [[P Switch]] is pressed, they turn into frozen [[Brick Block]]s.

*[[Buzzy Beetle]]s and Spinys on ceilings can now climb slopes instead of turning at them.

*Luigi no longer has tan skin, now sharing Mario's complexion.

*Fire Luigi has light green overalls, unlike in the original game, where they are dark green.

*[[Pokey]]s sprites have been slightly modified, having rounder segments than in the original game. They can be defeated using fireballs or the cape, unlike the original game where they are immune to both. Similarly, when Yoshi eats the head of a Pokey, it is instantly defeated, unlike the original game where the remaining segment on the top became the head. They also no longer chase Mario, and simply move forward while turning at ledges. These changes were made to be consistent with ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.  

*The score counter will go up for consecutively hitting each individual Pokey segment with a shell, rather than staying at 200. Pokey segments can also be damaged by placing a shell on them like most enemies.

*The Koopalings' sprites have been remade, now resembling and being consistent with Bowser Jr. and Bowser's sprites from this game theme, and using a unique mixture of color palettes from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. They also now use their [[Magic wand|wands]] in battle, their shells are no longer safe to touch, and they are no longer able to be inside pipes.

*Ludwig no longer slides along the ground in his shell, and hops in a way similar to ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

*The [[Power Balloon]] is colored yellow instead of tan, and it no longer floats away after hitting the block from where it was found.

**In the nighttime Ground theme, however, it still floats away, although with a "deflating" animation.

*[[Balloon Mario|Balloon characters]] receive a new appearance and new sprites, gaining yellow pants (or a dress in Toadette's case) with a "P" symbol on them. They also function differently.

*While the Balloon form in the original game was temporary and did not affect the player's form, it is now considered to be its own powerup.

*[[Mechakoopa]]s receive a different color palette, and now they get destroyed in pieces when defeated instead of simply falling off the screen. They also cannot be destroyed by a [[Spin Jump]], which harmlessly knocks them forward instead.

*The screen's scrolling and entering another section of a course in multiplayer do not restrict the players' mobility, such that all players can now move individually. This also applies to all other game styles.

**Due to this, getting stuck between edges of the screen and solid terrains no longer causes the player to instantly lose a life (unless it is an auto-scrolling course).

*Enemies do not give or drop coins or items when they are defeated, consistent with other game styles.

*For unknown reasons, enemies and items cannot appear in stacks like in the original game, despite having a stacking function in the other game styles.

*When the player goes through sections of a course while carrying an item, it does not disappear.

*The snow theme, which appears to be based on [[Snowball Park]], takes place during the day, instead of the night like in the original level.

*Red Koopa Troopas, green Cheep Cheeps, regular Dry Bones, regular Pokeys, Fish Bones, and [[Sledge Bro]]s. are now present to be consistent with other styles. [[Heavy Fire Bro]]s. and [[Koopa Troopa Car]]s were also not present in the original game.

**Additionally, since most enemies can be combined with Wings and Parachutes, [[Paragoomba]]s, [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s and Parabombs, which are also not present in the original game, can be created.

*The Thwomps in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style use the same behavior as the other game styles, where they fall once the player is near or below them, as opposed to the behavior seen in the original game, where they rise and fall in a constant pattern.

*[[Porcupuffer]]s act similar to [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]]es in non-underwater themes and [[Cheep Chomp]]s while underwater; they will attempt to suck Mario into their mouths when he gets close to them. These behaviors were not seen in the original game. They take four fireballs to defeat, rather than one. Additionally, they chase Mario, rather than following a set pattern.

*[[Blinking Block]]s are smaller than the original game's Beep Blocks, now the same size as most other block-based elements.

*Snow Pokeys only spawn one snowball upon defeat, as opposed to all of their segments (including the head) becoming snowballs.

*[[Dash Block]]s replace [[Dash Panel]]s.

*The "TOO BAD!" text does not appear when all players lose a life, along with the screen transition with Bowser's emblem appearing after it.

*The "TIME'S UP!" text, as with the other styles, uses the same text font as the "Too Bad..."/"Game Over" texts from story mode and Endless Challenge respectively.

====''Super Mario Bros.'' style====

**Without Mystery Mushrooms, [[amiibo]] figurine support and [[List of official Super Mario Maker courses#Event Courses|Event Courses]] have been consequently removed from the game, as with the 3DS version.

**The instrument played by Mystery Mushrooms on [[Music Block]]s is instead inherited by the [[Superball Flower]].

On November 14, 2022, a fifth update was released, addressing issues to improve gameplay.<ref>https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/46689/kw/mario%20maker/p/989/c/120#v302</ref> This update patches a vulnerability, known as ENLBufferPwn, in the game's network code which enables hackers to take full, remote control of a user's (unmodified) Nintendo Switch system during online multiplayer sessions.<ref>PabloMK7, Rambo6Glaz, and Fishguy6564 (December 22, 2022). [https://github.com/PabloMK7/ENLBufferPwn ENLBufferPwn (CVE-2022-47949)]. ''GitHub''. Retrieved March 4, 2023.

==Staff==

*''[[zeldawiki:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'': The Down Thrust attack originated as a technique Link could learn.

*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': The door sprites return for the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' theme. The Pokey sprite in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' theme is an edited version of this game's Pokey sprite. Version 3.0 adds the [[SMB2 Mushroom]] as a power-up in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style, giving the user the ability to stand on top on non-spiked enemies and the ability to pick up an throw them that characters possessed in this game. The [[Cursed Key]] is based on the key in this game, and a [[Phanto]] appears when it is picked up.

*''[[Super Mario Land]]'': The [[Superball Flower]] is available as an item in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style. The music that plays while in the [[Superball Mario|Superball form]] is a remix of the [[Birabuto Kingdom]] theme from this game, and the music that plays when completing a level or losing a life in said form comes from this game.

*''[[Super Mario World]]'': The third game style is based on this game. The music heard in the map of the Endless Challenge at the Easy, Normal, and Expert difficulties are arrangements of [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]'s map theme from this game, while Super Expert's and the bassline of Expert's are arrangements of [[Valley of Bowser]]'s map theme. The music that plays elsewhere in Course World is an arrangement of the [[Special Zone]]'s map theme.

*''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'': The "[[Delfino Plaza]]" theme is featured as a sound effect under the "Musical" category, represented by the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] logo.

*''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords]]'': The Link colors used for all four players' Master Sword form in multiplayer match those from this game.

*''[[Mario Party 8]]'': Some of Toad's and Toadette's voice clips are recycled from this game.

*''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'': "[[Gusty Garden Galaxy (theme)|Gusty Garden Galaxy]]" is featured as a sound effect under the "Musical" category, represented by the [[Wii]] logo.

*''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'': A few of the notes in the arranged sky theme music in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style are taken from the "[[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)]]" arrangement in this game, also arranged by [[Koji Kondo]] (although this version, in turn, was based on [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)#Super Smash Bros. Brawl|earlier live-orchestra arrangements]] of the Ground Theme).

*''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'': The [[10-Coin]]s and [[50-Coin]]s from this game reappear as course elements.

*''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'': The fourth game style is based on this game. Morton's behavior resembles that of [[Boss Sumo Bro]] in this game.

*''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'': The first extra game style is based on this game. The music that plays on the menu screen in Yamamura's Dojo is an arrangement of [[World 1 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 1]]'s map theme in this game. The Galoomba sprite in the ''Super Mario World'' theme is recolored to match its appearance in this game.

*''[[Mario Kart 8]]'': Some of Toadette's voice clips, particularly in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, are recycled from this game.
