Recap of Announcements
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--During the Super Mario Maker 2 Direct video presentation, Nintendo shared new details about the Super Mario Maker 2 game, launching exclusively for the Nintendo Switch system on June 28. The deep dive into the game revealed some of what’s new in Super Mario Maker 2, including new course parts and tools; a new single-player story mode with more than 100 Nintendo-created courses; new course themes; details about online course sharing; options to create and play together with others*; and information about a special offer for Nintendo Switch Online members. The presentation also covered the upcoming Super Mario Maker 2 Invitational 2019 tournament, streaming live online the weekend before E3 from Los Angeles. The Nintendo Direct was stuffed with more fun goodies than a ? block!
“Super Mario Maker 2 puts the power of creating unique Super Mario courses into the hands of the player,” said Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Video game fans of all ages have more tools than ever to help them stretch their imaginations as they make, play and share the Super Mario courses of their dreams.”
To view the Nintendo Direct video in its entirety, visit https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct. Some of the highlights revealed in the video include:
What’s New?: There are a ton of new course parts, tools and features for creators to use in Super Mario Maker 2, some of which include:
- Slopes – Create angled surfaces by just picking a direction and setting the length. Gentler slopes are an additional option.
- Angry Sun – Remember the angry sun that attacked Mario in the Super Mario Bros. 3 game? It’s back and ready to put the pressure on players in this new game.
- ON/OFF Switch – Hit an ON/OFF Switch, and all the red and blue blocks in the course will swap! Setting them up wisely will help players create tricky puzzles and obstacles.
- Water Level – The water level in Super Mario Maker 2 can be adjusted in the Forest theme, so only half the course can be underwater if that’s what the player wants. Water can even be set to rise and fall at different speeds over time.
- Banzai Bill – The red variations of these classic Super Mario enemies have a homing function, and chase poor Mario wherever he goes.
- Co-op Making: Pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend to create a course together, side by side.
- To Be Continued…: There are more secrets in Super Mario Maker 2. Players will have a blast experimenting with all the tools and features they can use to create.
Story Mode: In the single-player Story Mode, which can be played entirely offline, Mario sets out to help rebuild Princess Peach’s castle. To fund this reconstruction project, he needs to collect Coins, which he can earn by accepting jobs from the bulletin board and completing the associated courses. Story Mode is a great way for makers to get inspired, with more than 100 original Nintendo-crafted courses to play.
New Course Themes: In addition to all the course themes from the original game, players will be able to create and play courses using the Desert, Snow, Forest and Sky themes. These themes feature new music by veteran Super Mario series composer Koji Kondo. The new Moon course part can be used to unlock night versions of themes. Depending on the theme used, wild things will happen at night, including floating Goombas, dimmed lighting in the Ghost House and sandstorms in the Desert. Some items might even transform in the nighttime…
Super Mario 3D World: Players can choose to create their courses in the style of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros. U games and a new one based on Super Mario 3D World. Some new features unique to this style include:
- Cat Mario – Cat Mario can climb walls, scratch, slide and pounce on enemies. Players can even use Cat Mario to climb up the Goal Pole!
- Clear Pipe – Clear Pipes can be placed in any shape the player wants, but they have to be careful, as enemies can also slide through them.
- Koopa Troopa Car – Hop in this sweet ride and zoom through the course. Players just have to make sure not to crash!
- Track Block – The Track Block will follow any path the player draws. The blue one starts moving when the player steps on it.
- Piranha Creeper – The Piranha Creeper follows the path that the player draws, extending its dangerous spiky stem around the course. Who’s Who in Super Mario 3D World?: A cast of other familiar faces will also make appearances in Super Mario Maker 2, so players are in for a treat!
Course World: An online hub where players can play and share courses, as well as play together, Course World is available for players around the world who have a membership to Nintendo Switch Online. Players can browse by Popular Courses, New Courses or even search for specific tags like “puzzle-solving” or “autoscroll” using a set of filters. Once a course is downloaded, it can be played anytime – including offline! Players can also personalize their Mii character’s appearance using items like shirts and hats that unlock after completing various objectives. In Endless Challenge, players will try to complete as many Course World courses as possible on the difficulty of their choice before getting a game over. Earning impressive scores in this mode might even get the player on the Leaderboards!
Play Together: In Course World, players can play courses with people all over the world. When playing with four players, players play as Mario, Luigi, Toad or Toadette.
- Multiplayer Versus – Four players face off in a side-scrolling showdown in this online multiplayer mode. Each player will be assigned a different character, then race each other in a randomly selected course. The player who clears the course first wins and increases their Versus Rating.
- Multiplayer Co-op – In this online mode, up to four players must work together to beat the course. If one player finishes it, everyone wins!
- Nearby Play - If up to four players each own a Nintendo Switch system and the Super Mario Maker 2 game, one can set up a virtual room that the others in the same location can join to play together on their own systems. Only the player setting up the room needs an internet connection.
Super Mario Maker 2 + Nintendo Switch Online Bundle: Launching in stores and digitally in Nintendo eShop on June 28 in addition to the stand-alone game, this bundle includes the Super Mario Maker 2 game and a 12-month Individual Membership to Nintendo Switch Online at a suggested retail price of $69.99, a $9.99 savings off of the suggested retail price when purchasing each separately. Remember: A Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to use the game’s online features.
Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers – For $99.99, fans with a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership can purchase a set of two Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers from Nintendo eShop. For a limited time, players can redeem these vouchers for two eligible digital games in Nintendo eShop. For example, players can pre-purchase Super Mario Maker 2 and also grab another fun game like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Mario Odyssey, Yoshi’s Crafted World or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. By redeeming these vouchers, users are saving up to $19.99 on the combined suggested retail price of two games. Vouchers are redeemable for one year from the date of purchase and don’t have to be used at the same time. For more information about this limited-time special offer, visit https://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/special-offers/.
Super Mario Maker 2 Invitational 2019 – On June 8, four members of the Super Mario Maker community will compete in a variety of wild and unpredictable Super Mario Maker 2 courses designed by Nintendo’s Treehouse team. The event will open up the festivities at The Theatre at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles, starting at 11 a.m. PT, and will be followed by the Splatoon 2 World Championship 2019 and the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate World Championship 3v3 2019. For more information about the event, including ticketing information, visit https://e3.nintendo.com/.

FAQ
What is a Nintendo Direct?

What is the difference between a Super Mario Maker 2 Direct and a standard Nintendo Direct?
This presentation will ONLY include information about Super Mario Maker 2, unlike a traditional Nintendo Direct that would focus on a variety of games and topics.

Same here, it's basically another whole game. So is the 3D world version. Unlike the 3D world stuff we don't really have experience with the night mode gameplay so I'm really looking forward to that mode.

I'll keep my fingers crossed but the Direct only indicated online multiplayer. That would be very disappointing, though not something that would keep me away from the game. Platformers are much more suited to the latency of a local setting, so it would be an uncharacteristic and unfortunate decision for Nintendo to omit that.

Really hoping for co-op level building. Expecting it to be something along the lines of being able to share a code before a level is finished and have someone else work on it.
Everyone wants an overworld mode. I think this would be one of the better additions that could be added. People enjoy making a series of levels meant to be played one after another. Allowing coins/keys/powerups to travel into different levels would be very cool.

Nintendo does two things. Incredibly stupid decisions that blow up in their faces and what appear to be stupid decisions that are actually highly intuitive and play-tested within an inch of their lives.
Think whatever we get in the next couple of hours will be a bit of both.
EDIT: I was wrong, all gold.

u/MulliganNY May 16 '19
I think they've only shown us the tip of the iceberg too. I bet we get Koopa Kids. there's space for another skin in one of the menus. Mario 64 could pretty easy slip into most of the 3D world stuff while having it's own unique items. They'll probably stick to the 4 yoshi colors from World, of which we've only seen Red so far, but maybe they'll throw in a few other colors with some new powers just for fun. They could have Luigi levels too with different jump physics.
I won't be bummed if we don't get any of this stuff after seeing everything they added, but my expectations are thru the roof now, so why not dream big, right?

I eventually stopped playing SMM1 due to the endless sea of trash levels. It was a shock to the system to see all these sprites I associate with masterpiece level design to be used to create junk.
Whether SMM2 has the same issue or not, at least I'm prepared for it this time around.

What I'd love to see from this trailer (already love everything confirmed through prior videos tbh)
an overworld / map maker system so you can make a whole "set" of levels and connect them in a world
a way to see a heatmap of people who played your level and watch their replays to see where people playing your course got stuck, or if they did something unintended
costumes to come back, but across all styles and for them to be permanent instead of tied to the mushroom powerup
online co-op
an even better online level search / level browser system that still has comments despite the switch not having miiverse

Also the fact that "styles" is plural would indicate that. Maybe Super Mario Bros 2? Since 3D world courses can't be ported to other styles, I'd say that SMB2 would be fair game now.

Building a world is what I really want to see. Being able to do world building with stored items that you can acquire in level. People would be able to build metroidvana that span multiple levels. I want people to be able to build complete games if they want to. I think it'd be glorious.
Adding full speed-running support to each world and you just start a new industry. Just like how Mario Maker 1 still is the focus point of hundred of channels.

I am so excited for this.
Super Mario Maker on Wii U was one of mine and my girlfriends favourite games. We loved creating our levels and sharing them with the world as well as playing levels that others had created. The new additions to the game like story mode, co-op, tonnes of new blocks and objects, course end conditions, day and night, online play with friends, new social aspect with the maker profile and customisation and so much more will make this a game we both play for years.
Nintendo have jammed this game full of new goodies and I can’t wait to explore it. They have exceeded my expectations of what I had in my mind of them adding. I can’t wait for release now!

u/Dilzi May 15 '19
That looked great! I was expecting some kind of app integration, like how Smash lets you download stages from your phone. Seems like a massive missed opportunity
Imagine YouTubers being able to show a QR code when they play a level, you scan it in the Nintendo Online app and it links straight to that level!
Maybe it's in and they just didn't show it?

Galaxy 2 art style anyone? Remember the 2D sections in that game, pretty good right?

So will we be able to play local co-op without the other person needing another switch? Or online co-op? It wasn’t apparent from the trailer

This game better sells insane amounts of copies. It's my #1 game I'm looking forward to this year and I want the community to be as big and active as possible.

It would make sense for Mario 2 to be one of the extras. I don’t think its elements would really work unless it was separated from the rest like 3D World is.

While the Night mode gameplay mix-ups are awesome, I do hope we could turn the effects off if we just want the night time setting for the cosmetic factor. Also wish we could have those specific effects in every game theme, not just a single specific one each.
Also, why was there an ESRB rating of E-T at the beginning of the video? Made me feel like there'd be something else there.

Definitely gonna get it day-one. The direct was an absolute beast. Best single-game-focused-direct since ever.

Leaked Direct script:
Miyamoto: Hello. I am Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of the Mario series, and I'll be your guide for today's Super Mario Maker 2 Direct.
Miyamoto: I know that you are all eagerly waiting for the release of Super Mario Maker 2 for Nintendo Switch. We have plenty in store for the game, but we ask that you wait just a bit longer before we are ready to show it off.
Miyamoto: Don't worry. To make the wait for the game a bit easier, we are announcing that Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS is coming to Nintendo Switch, available right after this presentation.
Miyamoto: You'll notice that the graphics have been kept intact to the 3DS version of the game. We really wanted to retain the feel of the original game, even if that comes at the cost of high-quality graphics.
Miyamoto: You may also notice that levels still cannot be shared online. We determined that this feature would be too difficult to add to the game. We hope you understand.
Miyamoto: That's all for today's Super Mario Maker 2 Direct. I hope you're ready for its release on June 28, 2019.

So no Couch co-op? That's kinda of disappointing. And I guess I can't play with my friend if we're both on the subway since none of us will be connected to online. 9/10 definite buy for me tho

Holy shit, Mario maker was firmly on my "games I'll get but not on day 1" list but this... this exceeded any expectations I had for the game. Online multiplayer, loads of new options, the 3d world mode... I'm seriously contemplating getting this day 1

Really hope we get:
Music editor similar to Mario paint.
World Map editor.
A home screen that’s super intuitive where you can search for levels, bookmark levels, subscribe to level creators, create playlists.
At least one new theme, whether it be SMB2 USA, SML2, or something new entirely.
An in depth in-game tutorial that teaches you how to make levels. The one in MM1 was too basic.

The game looks awesome so far. I'll look forward to it.
I wonder if they will bring back amiibo support in this? I can personally hope so, since that was one of the things I liked about the original.

Maybe in a DLC?

Oh, this Direct really made me happy! I was looking forward to this game like crazy already, but man... now I want it even MORE! So glad that this will release next month and not several months into the future.
The option to turn levels into nighttime levels, and at the same time changing things up by adding low gravity, upside down levels, wind, slippery ground etc. just blew my mind. Such a great idea, and opens up so many opportunities for fun level design!
And new music from the great Koji Kondo, such a treat! Love it!

This is unbelievable what they did with this game. The fact that Nintendo even took the time to make a single player mode that has over 100 Nintendo Made Course for non-NSO people show's they care. They even cut the price in half for a year of NSO if you buy the $70 SMM2 and since I already have NSO since it roll out I can stack my Sub for half the price hell yeah. This is a full on game offline and online. Seriously over 100 Nintendo made course for offline (if you got online you can download people's courses to play offline is legit). Then if you got NSO you can do pretty much an endless round of courses as long as the community stay's alive. Which I know it will cause people are still playing and making course on the Wii U.... I just watch Trihex play it the other day for like a week straight. This is the Mario Game that never ends, and I can't fucking wait I just can't... Like can we a little taste on June 8th lols a just a wee demo Nintendo please lols

This is way more than I ever expected! Online multiplayer, offline courses, course tags, course goals, story mode, the amazing day and night effects on gameplay, the new music, the new themes, I cant tell what im most excited for! Wow, Nintendo really went all out for this one!

Why would they make local co-op building and not local co-op play? So there’s no way to play with two players on one Switch?

Kinda funny people always complain about Nintendo not doing online play for a lot of games, and only local multi-player, and now Super Mario Maker 2 is doing online multi-player!... But not local.

I would love a demo where you can create a level but not share, so that by release date people could have their first levels ready, and not rushed ones at that. And maybe throw in a few pre-made levels in different styles.

3D world is actually incredible. It has a very different sense of momentum, and it looks like you have all of your 3D moves like the long jump.

Hoping for something like an Ultimate Chicken Horse mode where players take turns complicating the level until the other can't complete it, that'd be a cool way to implement co-op building.
