Versus Mode will be a gamechanger. Those, who played NSMB, know.

If anyone played New Super Luigi U, you'll find that Nintendo themselves created some absolutely incredibly thought out levels. And they're all not too long as each level must be completed in 99 seconds.

The background music is set by the game style (SMB, SMB3, etc.) and the theme in a zone (grassland, underground, castle, etc., with a music box variant for the night modes). There are also sound effects items that you can place in your level to create temporary music tracks: boss battles, miniboss battles, bonus areas, or silence, plus some new additions in SMM2 (Super Mario Kart, SM64 Slide, Delfino Plaza, Gusty Garden Galaxy).

If you're particularly crafty, you can use a special variant of jump blocks to create a custom music track, with different item collisions acting as different musical instruments. At the start of SMM1 it was overloaded with auto-play music-only stages, but some people did eventually figure out how to make custom music click with an actual platforming course.

Most likely yes; the original game recieved new content updates, and I would expect the same here.


If you look for codes in the right place you'll find some normal levels. With level tagging also being more of a thing now, you can block out the more gimmicky levels if you want.


You don't neccessarily get a choice. The music track that plays is determined by the Game Style (Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros. U or Super Mario 3D World), Level Theme (Ground, Underground, Underwater, Castle, etc) or if the stage is using the Night Mode (which will play a music box version of the regular tracks). While some themes reuse music from their original games, others have new compositions (if those level themes weren't in the original games).

There are also a few sound effects you can place in levels that will play music too: a Bonus Room track, a Mini-Boss track, a Final-Boss track and four tracks from past Mario games (Mario Circuit from Super Mario Kart, Slider from Super Mario 64, Delfino Plaza from Super Mario Sunshine and Gusty Garden Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy). The former three change depending on the theme, but those last four are the same in every theme.


People will definitely find their way to your levels; I played the original game for the first time in ages recently and I had tons of notifications because people played or starred my levels.

Still on the fence with this one as I don't have a creative bone in my body / lack the will or confidence to promote my creations and so assume they would never get played. I get the impression there is plenty of content outside the creator, but I feel that I would be "missing out" if I neglect half the game.

Has anyone's SMM2 stylus arrived yet? I'm hoping it's coming by tomorrow (Thursday) in time for launch night, but at the latest it better be here by Friday. Was the only reason I did the preorder thing and not bothered to go out and buy a better quality stylus.

If you love Mario then you will get more than enough value just playing other peoples creations. It's like a game where you can either make or just play near infinite mario levels, it's amazing. Think as well that the Wii U version sold well, but the Switch version is gonna sell gangbusters so there's going to be even more levels other people make!

If anyone is interested in seeing footage of the second unlockable Power-Up:



It actually changes the music when you use it which is pretty cool.

At least Mario Bros has SOMETHING

Still sad of no costumes even if only for SOMETHING to unlock by playing online

In terms of post-release updates, right now my only prediction (besides online with friends, which is obviously confirmed) is that they'll make the "Escort the Toad" and "Clear with the Stone Block" clear conditions available for people to use in levels. Keeping them as Story Mode exclusive features just defeats the point of it being a tutorial for what we could do with the game's tools.

I can see those coming as short-term updates for sure, something to put out before the first 'major' update(s) I feel.

Just want to say that I'm not actually excited to play this game, but VERY excited to watch Dan Ryckert and Patrick Klepek battle eachother again :) If you haven't watched their Mario Maker "war" you really should.

It'd be cool if they added the blue and yellow Yoshi and baby Yoshi for the SMW and NSMBU themes. Seems weird to only have the fire variety available.
