Moon (Super Mario Maker 2)
This article is about a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this article may need major rewriting. This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.
Template:Item-infobox The Moon is a course part introduced in Super Mario Maker 2. It serves as an alternate form of the Angry Sun. When placed in a course, the current theme switches to a night variant with different properties than the normal daytime one. Additionally, when the Moon is touched, every enemy on the screen is defeated. However, after it has been placed once, the night variant of every theme becomes selectable from the menu, and the Moon will not need to be placed again to trigger night mode from that point onward. In addition to unique level effects, nighttime levels have a starry background (with the exception of Ghost House and underwater levels, which have darker versions of their respective backgrounds), and a music-box version of the level's music plays instead of the standard one.
The Moon, along with the Angry Sun, is absent in the Super Mario 3D World game style. As such, the night theme is not present in it.
