It helps that creation has been immensely streamlined across the board. Even if you decide to skip the philosophy primer, toying around with the legion of bells and whistles without any real sense of direction can quickly materialise into something fun and playable. Fortunately, there’s a dojo for learning level design within the game, which is led by a pigeon for some reason. At the very least, Mario Maker 2 will leave you with a profound appreciation for the in-house design team at Nintendo, as you’ll discover that making a legitimately well-designed level is even more challenging than beating one. Whatever your method, creation is a joy for all, even the least creative among us. After a long day at work, I daresay I prefer it to handheld creation. Despite the slightly slower pace, familiarising myself with the various shortcuts quickly dispelled any concerns I had about clunky creation.

Making levels in docked mode isn’t quite as efficient as it is in on the touchscreen, but it feels great with a pro controller. That said – and this is apparently a controversial opinion – this is Mario Maker 2’s greatest achievement. With the Switch’s docked mode taking the touchscreen out of the equation, I couldn’t imagine how Nintendo could possibly make level creation intuitive on a controller.

The original Mario Maker took full advantage of the Wii U’s hardware, with level creation taking place on the tablet’s touchscreen and level testing on the TV. Like many others, I was sceptical about designing levels on the Switch. It’s difficult to think of anything the first game did better, and that’s a telling sign of a stellar sequel.

It’s borderline impossible to list all the improvements here, but additions like sloped terrain for smoother travel, vertical sub-levels, new contraptions like the ‘on/off switch’, and an all-new style in Super Mario 3D World are stand-out evolutions.

Starting with the ‘better’, Mario Maker 2 is a superior expansion of the first game in every way. Chock-full of charm, splendour, and the gratifying pride of making fun for others, Mario Maker 2 has Nintendo written all over it… for better or worse. It’s a brilliant experience that turns game development into a game itself, allowing players to tinker with elements, styles, and themes from just about every mainline 2D Mario game since the NES’ original Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Maker 2 is a meta delight that’s all about creating, sharing, and playing Mario levels for all to enjoy.
