A bit pricey but I'll at least look into it. Maybe there will be some similar ones that are cheaper
No, vs multi is race to the finish/objective
Although it's not impossible for them to add something like that down the line.

I hate it when people confuse 2d with fixed-camera 3d graphics, which is what SMM is.

Curious, why does the stylus need to be charged if it's just a rubber tip?

Levels are shorter than typical NSMB levels but in my opinion they are way, way more creative. If you like 2D Mario this can't be missed.
Also, you don't have to subscribe for full year, maybe for some months and you will enjoy playing countless levels by the community.
Dunno how it works. I've tried it without it being turned on and it doesn't work.
It does have a metal mesh end similar to some of the $5-10 options that doesn't need power.

I'm about 20% through the story mode, and I'm thrilled to report that - so far - Nintendo has finally created another 2D Mario game that can proudly stand alongside 1, 2, 3, World, and Island. It's been, what, over a quarter centuries since the last can't-miss sidescrolling Mario campaign?
Excellent, excellent stuff.
Excellent, excellent stuff.
A lot of reviews have stated that they thought making levels was better with the touchscreen, but I'm finding using a controller way better for everything besides mass erasing or mass ground tile placement. I like the controls for building levels a lot - my brain is more of the bottleneck, not the controls.
You might not like the art style but nsmb wii and wii u both have excellent level design
Level design is a very important part of a platformer, but the audiovisual experience is just as important to me. And the NSMB series fail miserably from a sound and art standpoint. The experience is greatly hampered because of that.
That being said, NSMBU is a solid platformer. Just can't stand the soundtrack and art style.
NSMBU is definitely the best of the NSMB games because of the tight controls and strong level design, but there's still a wide gulf between the best New Super Mario Bros. game and SMB 1/2/3 + World + YI + (now) Maker 2.
Art style and music are of high importance to me when it comes to Mario; but even if you don't put as much stock in those presentational elements, the sheer joy of discovery and surprise within Maker 2's campaign elevates it above anything I've ever gotten out of a NSMB game. There are so many additional tools to use that the type of levels Nintendo serves up are completely different than anything that would have been possible in a more traditional Mario title.
I should note though that I have NOT played Mario Maker for 3DS, which also had hand-crafted levels from Nintendo. I can't imagine them being as ambitious as what's on offer in 2, but I feel it's an important point of clarification to make.
I've payed 'em all, and I agree U has excellent level design. I'm not as hot on NSMBWii, but I understand the appeal.
I grade Mario games within the context of the franchise instead of within the whole industry. NSMB Wii may be a great video game in totality when measured against every other piece of software released on every other system, but when you shrink the pool of competition down to solely hone in on the insane heights the Mario series has reached over the years, I don't think any of the NSMB games even qualify as being eligible for the discussion (though I'm at least sympathetic toward the U lovers out there, so I can understand why some hold it up as one of the best).
To be clear, it's probable that Maker 2 will ultimately land toward the bottom of the top-tier singleplayer Mario experiences for me. But that doesn't in any way diminish my sheer gratitude that Nintendo finally made another 2D Mario campaign with a strong enough identity to be in the same conversation about the best the series has to offer. They clearly didn't need to include a story mode to still sell millions upon millions, but they went the extra mile anyway. I'm really appreciative of that <3
I'm really happy finding that the campaign is excellent and the most exciting a 2d Mario game has been since the SNES.

if by solo you mean story mode (aka offline singleplayer) : not exactly
if by solo you mean singleplayer platforming (online and offline) : way too much

Awesome game. Kinda mid-boggling what people have already been able to cook up (although maybe less so for folks who played the first one?). I had my reservations about buying it and I'm glad I did!

Quoting NintendoLife with a Nintendo first party game's reviews is almost cheating :P Anything not terrible is basically an automatic 9 or 10.
Other than that it's fun little trailer. Game truly deserves the praise, and while there's some odd limitations here and there it's just a joy to play.
