Switch Game Review: Super Mario Maker 2

 Super Mario Maker 2 came out in 2019, four years after the first Super Mario Maker game came on to much acclaim.  To say in two years of making levels, gamers would be tired of it but that creativity has made this a staple feature for gamers everywhere as they try to get creative in every way.  The game has much acclaim so I thought to give it a go, and note I did play some made levels but mainly just played the story mode.  Here is what I thought was positive and not positive.

Positives:

1. Different versions in game- One level will have you in a Mario Brothers 3 level, another Super Mario World, some New Super Mario World U and Mario World 3D.  All that and more are noted and they did really, really well overall with all the levels. 

2. Graphics- Yes, Nintendo, Mario.  Graphics go hand-in-hand here.  They did well with all the variations though and that is something that should be noted.

3. Music- See above for graphics and just replace with music.  Yes that's how it goes.

4. Responsive: Mario is perfectly responsive here and I felt that he did very, very well overall with this and Nintendo did very well making him responsive with the input on the switch joycons.  I think this was underrated in the game and it is noted to how well made this game was overall. 

Negatives:

1. Presentation: I thought this was a bit lazy, just some boxes bringing up what to do and that was it.  No major tutorial into the modes, no nothing.  Just a bit lazy on this part.  Had they done what they do typically with other Mario games, they would have won me over on that.

Added: This isn't on the game, but people stated the online gaffes of the game, but that's just on the beyond garbage Nintendo Servers which yes, disconnect worse than most relationships

Overall Rating:

I would recommend Super Mario Maker 2 to most everyone with the level making, the story mode as well.  Seeing other gamers do the level making and challenge themselves with others levels, it's quite fun to see.  Personally I didn't design levels but they look really good and make you look creative.  Just for the love of God, note that Nintendo servers for online are just terrible and if you can deal with that, you'll be fine online.

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10.
