This being the first Mario Maker that isn't controlled with the precision of a stylus must mean a ton of considerations, including the new selection wheel.
Yeah, Mario Maker and Super Mario 3D World were the two games that still made me have the urge to pick up a Wii U. I have no reason to pick up a Wii U for Mario maker now.
I imagine they'll just switch as normal despite not really correlating.Here's something interesting to speculate about in regards to the compatibility between the themes:
3D World has a different enemy line-up compared to the rest of the games (with some excluded while new ones are included), and some of these don't really line-up with each other (there's even an extra enemy in the second 'Enemies' tab). I wonder how game switching will work with this.
On the topic of themes - was NSMBU spotted? All the 3D World stuff is great, but for the sake of completion I'll be a little disappointed if the NSMBU-exclusive stuff like the propeller mushroom is gone.

I wouldn't take the radial menus as too rigid. I am assuming these are in place to help with making levels with a controller and probably pretty customizable. I just couldn't see something simple like Buzzy Beetle not being in the 3D World palette. Same with like Chomp-Chomps. These menus could have multiple enemies applied to each slot or could just be customized.
Ah, thanks! I imagine it won't be very popular, but I'm happy it's there.Yeah, it was.
I wonder if there will ever be a Super Mario Maker 3D. Creating levels in 3D is way more complicated but it can work. Just look at Dreams.
Can a stylus be used on a Switch? Might be worth including a pack-in stylus with the game.
Wonder if they'll release a companion app alongside it so you can make levels using your phone or tablet whilst the Switch is docked? I don't see any reason why that wouldn't be possible and it'd be a nice alternative to using a controller.
Is it separate from the 3D World theme? I thought they might have just added 3D World items to NSMB theme.Yeah, it was.
You could probably use a capacitive stylus like those ones with the big round nub that work on an iPhone or an old iPad. I'm not sure it would make a massive difference since those things aren't great.
Capacitive touch styluses will work, same kind you'd use for smartphones.
I am wondering with that spin wheel if touchscreen is even an option? I sure as heck hope so.
3D World is a separate theme from NSMBU.
On a related note, I have noticed that the 3D World theme shares a couple icons with the NSMB theme (you can see the Super Mushroom, Koopa Troopa and the ? Block as examples in this image). They'll probably change that before release though.
Pretty much. Maybe in case of Splatoon they could add the first one's campaign as a dlc. I see no reason for someone to want Smash 4 / Mario Maker when he can play Smash Ultimate / MM2

I assume the little red guy+ green guy icon next to the running mario will enable some kind of "coop creation mode" where you can make levels with 2 people at the same time?
I see. Would have been nice for them to be combined since the graphics are quite close and it would give more creative opportunity, but oh well.3D World is a separate theme from NSMBU.

The 3D World assets really do sell this to me, much like the widesceen squeaky clean retro Super Mario Bros. 3 sprites do. I'd hate for the assets of 3D World to be combined with New Bros, and it would betray the celebration of separate eras that the game does so we'll in. They'll also presumably be priming us for the expected deluxe port with this anyway.
I wonder if we'll get more level themes this time - Painted Swampland in particular.
I hope they retain the titles music. This really could be a perfect package if they've got it right, and I've no reason to doubt they have.

I'm hoping it will still have stylus controls as an option anyway. I'm hoping they'll bundle the game with a stylus that works with Switch.
Smash 4 has a lot of unique features, like trophies, stage builder, Smash Tour, Home Run Contest/Target Smash, All-Star Mode, Custom Moves, etc. etc. People might not value those features, but there's a surprising amount of it that's not iterated on in Smash Ultimate.
Kinda shocked they didn't include Mario 2 stuff in this. It's Mario Maker 2 and that seemed like the easiest way to sell this.
Switch has a capacitive touchscreen, not resistive as was the case with DS/3DS/Wii U.
Resistive styluses will not work, and those that do work on capacitive screens are bad.

The trailer seems to have Ice, Desert, Jungle, Space and Sky themes (though Sky might just be the Battleship theme) so you've got that wish already! I doubt they'd put the Painted Swampland theme in, though; it wouldn't exactly work well with the pixel art of the older themes.
Anyone have any speculation on how they will manage communication and feedback on levels between players now that there is no miiverse?
My guess would be that they do exactly what they did with Splatoon 2: just add all the old Miiverse features into the game itself. It'll definitely have Nintendo Online App integration as well.
Yeah I assume stuff like wall jumps and triple jumps will still be NSMB exclusive. NSMB will have movement options and challenges 3D World won't have. As with the original each style will have its unique benefits.
Neat. I didn't know they did that with Splatoon 2 and that is reassuring to hear.
I think this will be as much 3D World as we get for the Switch (ie. no port). I was going to buy Mario Maker 2 anyways, but having 3D World assets built in is such a huger seller for me (I never got to play it since I didn't own a Wii U).
I feel like in Mario 1 style, while the speed And height is the same, the physics are slightly different . Could just be my imagination.
Does 3D World's style not have slopes? On the other themes, after the ground tile option is the slope option, but on here, it's just that ant enemy3D World is a separate theme from NSMBU.
