Make the Super Mario courses of your dreams
Want coin-shooting cannons? Cat Mario sliding down slopes to take out an army of baddies? By combining a variety of parts, you can do some incredible stuff that isn’t even possible in regular Super Mario™ games!
More new stuff in Super Mario Maker 2
Lots of new tools, parts, and features have been added to help you build even cooler courses. Here are just a few:
-
Slopes
Just pick a direction and set the length to create a slope to really speed things up!
-
Angry Sun
For some reason, Angry Sun seems to be obsessed with Mario, following him wherever he goes.
-
Snake Block
Draw a path and the Snake Block will follow!
-
Seesaw
These are perfect for risky, tilt-centric courses.
-
Swinging Claw
Mario can use these to send himself flying—wah hoo!
-
Dry Bones Shell
Even lava doesn’t faze the Dry Bones Shell. Play dead for a sec and you’ll be temporarily invincible!
-
On/Off Switch
Step on an ON/OFF Switch and the red and blue blocks will swap! Use them to set up a trap or a tricky puzzle.
-
Boom Boom
Watch out for Boom Boom! The mad lad will chase after you, swinging his arms and legs!
-
Parachutes
Parachutes slow down the falling speed of anything attached to them. Watch out below!
Create in the style of Super Mario 3D World!
This game style is quite a bit different from the others—there are things you can do here that you can’t do in any other style!
-
Cat Mario
You can’t mention Super Mario 3D World without showing some love for Cat Mario. Climbing walls...scratching...sliding, clawing at the air—there’s nothing quite like it.
-
Clear Pipe
These Clear Pipes can be placed in any shape you like. Be careful, though! Enemies will make use of them as well.
-
Piranha Creeper
The Piranha Creeper will extend wherever you draw.
Watch out for its spiky stem! -
Banzai Bill
Banzai Bill can fly all over—even toward the screen. It’s so powerful it can break through walls!
-
Koopa Troopa Car
Take this sweet ride for a spin and tear up the course—just try not to crash it!
-
Spike Block
This is one block you do not want to hit. Combine it with the On/Off Switch to set a trap!
-
Blinking Block
Blinking Blocks phase in and out. Make sure to carefully time those jumps!
-
! Block
The ! Block extends when hit. Ground pound to expand it faster.
-
Skipsqueak
Skipsqueaks like to try and match Mario’s jumps. Sometimes you can use that to your advantage!
-
Charvaargh
Beware the lord of lava, Charvaargh. This monster’s obsessed with gobbling up Mario.
Select a style
You can choose from a variety of different Super Mario game styles, inlcuding Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. U.
You can choose from some of your favorite Super Mario styles!
Give it a Theme
Whether you like to run through Castles or sneak through spooky Ghosts Houses, there are plenty of classic themes to choose from, along with some new ones: Desert, Snow, Forest, and Sky. Some themes have their own fun features you can experiment with, like changing the water level in the Forest or slipping and sliding through the Snow.
Into the night
You can also use the Moon to swap to the nighttime version of each theme to mix things up even more!
Partner Up
Pass a Joy-Con controller to your pal and work side-by-side to create a course.
Yamamura and Nina
Yamamura, the self-proclaimed “licensed Super Mario Maker course instructor and semi-retired homing pigeon”, is back with a series of helpful tutorials. He’s joined by Nina, a quick-witted assistant who helps create and test courses—and keeps Yamamura supplied with edamame and fried chicken.
Break the rules
You can customize almost everything in your courses—you can even change the goal! Instead of just reaching the Goal Pole to finish, you can set an additional objective that players have to complete, like collecting 50 Coins or defeating all the Dry Bones.
