Super Mario Maker 2will be receiving its last major update on Wednesday and it’s a big one, with its additions pretty much allowing players to create their own fully-fleshed outSuper Mario Bros.game.
In “World Maker” mode, players can tie their created levels together by making their ownMarioworld maps from scratch, editing everything from the basic path to the end castle, the theme, surroundings, bonus stages, hazards, and even detours (warp pipes and all). The mode doesn’t stop their, either. you’re able to connect up to eight worlds containing a max of 40 courses to create a “Super World,” which basically translates into your own personalMariogame.
Also coming to the game thanks to the update is a number of new power-ups, wearables, and enemies.
First up is an “SMB2 Mushroom” usable in the originalSuper Mario Bros.game style. Picking it up will transform Mario from his iconic 8-bit NES look into his WesternSuper Mario Bros. 2form, complete with the same control set up too, meaning he can pick up and throw items and enemies.
The Frog Suit – for easier movement in and across water – is being added to theSuper Mario Bros. 3style, the Power Balloon suit toSuper Mario World, the Super Acorn toNew Super Mario Bros. U, and the Boomerang Flower toSuper Mario 3D World.
The3D Worldstyle is also getting several new wearables. Put on the Cannon Box to fire projectiles, the Propeller Box to get up to three extra boosts on your jump, a Red Pow Box to carry three “Pows” with you, a Goomba Mask that disguises you from enemies, and a Bullet Bill Mask that will rocket you across the stage for as long as you’re able to stay airborne.
New enemies include all seven Koopalings, Mechakoopas, and Phanto should you pick up a cursed key.
Launched last summer, the level of customization offered bySuper Mario Maker 2expanded greatlyfrom its 2015 Wii U predecessor, allowing its players near endless room for creativity. Nintendo has only built upon it since, putting out updates thatmade level sharing a bit easier, increasingly bumped up the number of courses a person could upload, and threw in more and more tools to play around with (like a Master Sword power-up).
And fans responded. Big time.
The game soldmore than 2 million copieswithin the first three days following its July 07, 2025 release, and by January had reachedover 10 million courses uploaded.
