Playing local co-op requires you download the level, which is a bothersome but admittedly small hurdle, and I ran into the same issues as your typical co-op Mario game. As a fan of the Miiverse who was sad to see it go, I am happy to see it living on in Super Mario Maker 2. You can also use stamps, write, and draw reviews for others’ levels with commenting tools originally seen in the Miiverse. Creating in co-op is a little unwieldy and has its own learning curve for figuring out which player can do what, but working locally with a friend to make levels together is great.įinding levels to play from other creators is easy, and seeing the Mii of the creator and the clothing they’ve decided to wear adds a lot of personality. Radial menus have been integrated for selecting the various tools, and it makes the process move a little faster, which I appreciate. You are unfortunately forced to use the touchscreen when playing handheld mode, which is a confusing and annoying limitation. The process of making levels feels familiar, and while I do miss the Wii U’s stylus, both the touchscreen in handheld mode and using the on-screen cursor in docked mode work well. This means you can craft and play scenarios where players can’t touch the ground, or they must collect 100 coins, adding a fun layer of challenge and puzzle-solving I enjoyed. You also have tools to create more vertical levels and unique clear conditions, which leads to some of my favorite levels. Other big additions include the long-requested ability to incorporate slopes, which are a lot of fun. It is used to create high-speed (and incredibly entertaining) platforming challenges. The Koopa Troopa Car is entirely new to Mario in general, and locks the player into a very fast auto-run. Not being able to swap templates as easily is disappointing, but the new tools exclusive to 3D World are worth the technical limitation. You can swap between the old templates in a snap without changing the design of your levels, but changing to or from 3D World resets everything. The 3D World template is the only new visual style at your disposal, and it doesn’t mesh seamlessly with the other templates (Super Mario Bros., 3, World, and NSMBU).
