Super Mario Maker 2 Direct (May 15 at 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m, 15 minutes) [See threadmark]
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed in that 3D World is restricted to itself. I was hoping to take take Cat Mario to other themes. Also, I wasn't sure if this was confirmed but I hope that we don't have to use the new theme songs in the new themes. I'd like to use the regular SMW music theme inside of the forest theme instead of the new tune. Otherwise, this looks phenomenal and is a day one purchase for me.
so it wasnt mentioned but i wonder if they will do that timed unlock system they had in the first game.
i hope not.
i hope not.
That's how the multiplayer creating works, so it could just mean that?
They definitely mentioning unlocking when it came to the night themes, but I feel like the implication is on earning them through the story. Since they talk about learning from the story.
Yeah, but the Direct clearly showed us that co-op editing only supports two players. It needs to be something else (since the eShop says 1-4 players).
Yeah; it's a completely new style of gameplay and assets. I'm going to be grateful we are getting it in the first place.
I did, it's easy but it requires a good effort to make something meaningful and fun especially now that there are so many new stuff. Of course I will do my efforts but I expect to be playing a lot more than creating.
I'm looking forward to playing a ton of 3D World levels more than any other game style.
On the one hand I want to hit that preorder button on the eshop right now. On the other hand I assume that will activate my year of NSO now and it seems smarter to wait until release is closer to get max use out of it.
Ah, ok. Was wondering if it was possibly just a semantics sort of thing.
I've searched everywhere and it seems it isnt available in Canada. Fucking shitty.
I don't think that happened to me when I preordered. Instead, I got two codes, one to activate the membership and one to redeem the stylus.
I'm actually happy and relieved that 3D World is its own thing. A big issue I had with the first game was how limited a lot of it felt because they were restricted by making everything have to work within each style. Really happy they're not restricting 3D World like that.
From what I remember, the first Super Mario Maker didn't support one of the most basic parts of Super Mario games: Having different items pop out of question marks depending on your current status. For example, a fire flower should only appear if you have a mushroom active. If you're small Mario, a mushroom should appear instead (there are specific exceptions from this, but they are extremely rare). In SMM1, a fire flower (and other powerups) would appear no matter what your current status was.
Do we know if this has changed for SMM2?

3D World not being tied to the other themes is a bit disappointing (since I would really love to use some of those exclusive items in the SMW theme), but it does open up some great potential for another theme in the "Extra Game Styles" tab.
They added that in a post launch update patch so I'm sure it's in here.
It did. They added it in an update not long after release.
No it will just extend your subscription period.
It stacks.
They added that to the original Mario Maker after it released. It's almost definitely back here
3D World can be 3D World without worrying about being limited because it had to tie in with other games.
Now this other mode could be SMB2 and you'll know you'll get the full SMB2 experience without being hindered.

Not had a chance to watch yet but i'm guessing we still don't have the option to string levels together on a world map?
Did they say the game would be supported with more features/content after launch?

Ooh, I must have forgotten that. Thanks! That's a relief to know.
Still can't connect stages together.
They didn't announce post-launch plans, but they didn't announce it for the original either, so I have no doubt that post-release content is planned. We might hear about it at the E3 invitational.
On top of this likely being in, the direct seems to imply that you can put multiple items in blocks. I would assume you could put different types of items in the same box.
In this video you can actually hear it's using the Mario Kart music (probably a sound effect tied to it hence the Super Famicom logo)
Nintendo could still announce a World Map at E3, but I feel like there won't be one. They said they have more surprises. You know Nintendo doesn't always show everything.
They seemed to show off all the menus so yeah I don't expect any map.

We live in a world where we have a Desert stage theme, but no Pokies.
Also you can't make poison swamp levels in the 3D World style and that sucks.

It's unlikely you will be able to make a world map. At best I would expect they may add a playlist feature
The clips before and after it seem interesting too; for some reason the SMB Ghost House and SMB3 Underground themes are playing over their 3D World equivalent stages. It's probably just video editing magic, but... dare I dream for music mixing and matching (which would explain the SMW overworld remix in the original trailer)?
I'm so excited for this, but I just realised I want to see Mario Kart Maker with custom tracks across generations. Oh my god give it to me.
I expect that will be the natural progression once we get Mario Maker 3D. That will open up a whole bunch of Maker content.
This is where the fun begins
Potentially, yes
That vinyl up at the top might be music selection?
I really really REALLY hope they are doing a new 2d Super Mario game in that style.
Prediction: The level played for the finale of the Super Mario Maker 2 E3 Invitational will be a level made in a second "extra game style". My guess would be Super Mario Bros. 2
They have to reveal everything by the Mario Maker 2 invitational, right? At least show off the last game
At least underwater night time has a custom background
Wonder why Ghost House and Underwater got lucky enough to have their own backgrounds
It looks sooooo weird in Underground/Castle/Jungle

I really don't want SMB2. Like, I really really don't. I'd much rather see something like a 2D take on Odyssey or Galaxy.
