The presentation also announced the Super Mario Maker 2 Invitational 2019 tournament, which will be broadcast live the weekend before E3 in Los Angeles.
• What’s New?: In Super Mario Maker 2, Level Makers have many new features, tools and features, including:
• Ramps – To build slopes all you need to do is determine the direction and length. You can even choose how steep the slope should be.
• Evil Sun – Do you remember the Evil Sun from Super Mario Bros. 3 yet? That copper ***** is back to make your life miserable.
• Power Switch – You can switch the red and blue blocks by hitting a power switch. Such a switch is ideal for providing your levels with tricky puzzles and obstacles.
• Water level – In this level theme you can determine the water level yourself. Maybe you want to flood half the level, or want to mimic the tides ebb and flow?
• Banzai Bill – The red versions of these classic Super Mario enemies are target-seeking, so watch out!
• Create Together – Give a Joy-Con controller to a friend to build levels together.
• To be continued… – There are many more new secrets to discover in Super Mario Maker 2. You’ll be amazed at all the tools and features you can use to achieve the levels of your dreams.
• Story Mode: In Story Mode, which can be played completely offline, it’s up to Mario to rebuild Princess Peach’s castle. To finance this project, he must collect coins, which he can earn by taking on chores and completing the corresponding levels. In the story mode, Nintendo has set up more than 100 levels, so there’s no shortage of inspiration for your own builds.
• New Level Themes: In addition to all of the level themes from the first game, players can now build desert, snow, forest and sky themed levels. These themes also include new music arranged by veteran Super Mario composer Koji Kondo. These themes become even more fun thanks to a new level element: the moon. With this you can turn the day into night. Depending on which theme you use, some quirky things await you at night. For example, you can encounter floating Goombas, the lights are dimmed in the haunted house and you have to endure sandstorms in the desert. It is even rumored that some objects also change at night…
• Super Mario 3D World: You can build levels in the style of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros. You and a new style based on Super Mario 3D World. This new style includes some unique features such as:
• Cat-Mario – Cat-Mario can climb walls, scratch, slide and attack enemies. You can even climb to the top of the flagpole with Kat-Mario.
• Glass Tube – Glass tubes come in all shapes and sizes. Be warned, because enemies can also crawl through these transparent tubes.
• Koopa Troopa car – Get behind the wheel of this car and speed through the level. Not suitable for chunky pilots!
• Move Block – The Move Block follows the route the player draws. The blue block only moves when you stand on it.
• Piranha Creeper – The Piranha Creeper will go as far as you draw. You’d better not touch its spiky stem.
• The cast in Super Mario 3D World – Lots of other familiar faces are also making an appearance in Super Mario Maker 2, so players can’t believe their luck.
• Level World: This is an online portal where players can share levels and play together. You need a Nintendo Switch Online membership to use the level world. Players can search by popular levels, new levels or even enter specific search terms like “Puzzle” or “Autoscroll”. Once you have downloaded a level, you can play it whenever you want, even offline. Players can also customize their Mii’s appearance with things such as shirts and caps, which can be unlocked by completing certain tasks. In the Endless mission, players must try to clear as many levels from the level world as possible on a difficulty setting of their choice. Players who manage to set the best scores even earn a spot on the leaderboard!
• Play together: In the level world you can play levels with people from all over the world. Team up with up to four players and play as Mario, Luigi, Toad or Toadette.
• Battle – In this online multiplayer mode, up to four players go head-to-head in a side-scrolling showdown. Each player gets a different character and then has to try to be the first to reach the finish in a randomly selected level. The winner can add the points earned to his or her battle score.
• Together – Play online with up to four players and work together to complete the level. Only one player needs to reach the finish line to claim victory for the entire team.
• Players around you – If there are up to four players together and they each have a Nintendo Switch and Super Mario Maker 2, one player can create a virtual room for the players around them. Only the player who creates the room needs an internet connection.
