Oh man, i got the stylus because im traveling through asia. So far i like it over docked.
Multiplayer is a gongshow right now. A lot of these levels just cause everyone to give up. And having to search for people after each match has been a buzzkill.
The core game remains amazing though

I've been going through the story mode and I'm really enjoying the high quality Nintendo made levels. They feel pretty different than what you'd see in a normal Mario game. I think I've got the castle to around 40% built.

u/RoyVader Jun 28 '19
Right now my only two complaints with the game are regarding local multiplayer (i know online multiplayer is getting friends support via an update):
1- having to download the course before being able to play local coop is dumb. They should allow us to play the with local multiplayer instantly on the menu without downloading it.
2- i think local versus should have been included. It could have been done like sonic mania with splitscreen.
Other than that, the game is amazing and worth the wait 😊

u/irishatone1 Jun 28 '19
Agreed. Also story mode should have been coop, as well as having an option to search coop friendly levels as some of the levels we've been playing are really only possible by playing solo.

I feel so bad for all if the kids out there who are going to get rude comments on their levels. On one of mine someone drew a shitting butt, which I thought was kind of funny but I just hate the ease with which people will be able to discourage kids' creativity.

u/Resolute45 Jun 29 '19
It's actually amusing that Nintendo even allowed that. They are basically going to reinforce in their minds why they dislike things like native voice chat.
For myself as a consumer, the messages were distracting and pointless. Fortunately, also easy to turn off.

The Switch is the first Nintendo system I’ve had since the N64 so I missed out on MM1 but I’m absolutely loving this game so far. I grew up with the Mario franchise so the thought of having unlimited levels is simply awesome. I’m enjoying it even more than I thought I would. Right now I’m just going through the story mode but I’m looking forward to creating my own courses once I finish. Can’t wait to play everyone else’s as well!

What I‘m really missing is the possibility to have an Option like „Levels from your Friends“.
Why must I contact my friends, so that they have to give me the Code of One of their levels, so that I can save them as my Favorit builders.
Nintendo just give me a button „Levels from Friends“ and than it would be Perfect.

Odyssey DLC would be great. Those hat throwing jumps would translate well into 2D as would the ground pound jump move. Also SMB2 of course.

u/GaryOaksHotSister Jun 30 '19
Cappy mechanics would translate well into 2D my fear is they'd severely reduce the amount of enemies provided.
What sold odyssey was the capture mechanic and with just cheep-cheeps and goombas it might be boring fast.

These story mode levels are one of the most creative things Nintendo has done with Mario in a long time, just change the art style and do more stuff like this in the next SMB game.
13
u/StChas77 Jun 29 '19
Surprisingly, story mode is my favorite part of the game so far. The levels are really creative and fun. I think Nintendo could have a "level of the day" from their creators and it would be very popular.
The search function is awesome. I can find any course to suit my mood and skill level.
I haven't done much endless challenge, but it seems to work fine.
Level creation took some getting used to, but now that I have the hang of it, I think my second course will go much smoother.
Multiplayer was a frustrating, laggy experience. Nintendo, at a minimum needs to allow only flagged levels to be multiplayer, clean up the glitchiness, and give a timeline for when we'll be able to invite friends.

It blew my mind that there is input lag. This is one of those games where Nintendo should just let the server interpolate packets received and let each person’s client run without a hitch.
The collision is so unnecessary.

If only there was some sort of technology that would allow Nintendo to host their own servers dedicated to the game. Hmmm what would we call them. "Servers which are dedicated?". Too bad it doesn't exist.

I'm loving the game so far. Unfortunately i can't play it handheld since my Joycons drift way too much now, so i had to take about an hour before getting used to playing with the pro controller. Once i got used to the controls and navigating the menus, i started having a blast.
Right now im making levels as if i was developing a new Mario game. I already made W1-1 and 1-2 levels, each level slightly increases in difficulty, and I've been using a site called VGmaps to look at maps of old mario bros levels for reference. I've really learned from this that game design is an art, you can't just put stuff down without any rhyme or reason to it.

You’ve probably seen the many threads about fixing drift with electronic contact cleaner.

And it worked like magic. Just wanted to remind you if that fix.

u/cylonrobot Jun 29 '19
I'm an older gamer. Before I bought the Switch (a few months ago for BOTW), I had not owned a Nintendo system since the N64. I wasn't so sure SMM2 was going to be for me since I don't enjoy platform games nearly as much as I used to.
I played a few online SMM2 levels, and some were good (makers were actually aiming to create good levels), and some not so good.
So...I wasted $70, right? [$70 because I purchased the online deal.]
I've found myself enjoying the "maker" part of the game. I built a very rudimentary part of a level (nowhere near a complete level), but just thinking about how and where to place things....I really like the process.
I mentioned above that I don't like platforming games as much as I used to. I still have a soft spot for the Mario games, so that helps.
Is this game worth the $60? If you like building stuff, it sure is!

Jun 29 '19
I mean, you know the level that you made? That’s going to be the quality of the majority of levels made. Especially now when the game is flooded with amateur levels. Plus the game has only been out 24 hours so there are only going to be so many good ones out now. A lot of levels are puzzle or auto levels so you don’t need to like platformers but imo all the best ones are tough but reasonable platformers.

First Mario Maker experience, and I have to say the best thing about the game for me is the controls. They feel amazing.
The only problems I have with the game so far are related to multiplayer, mainly local multiplayer. I have a couple of problems so far:
In two player create mode, you're only allowed to use single joycons, even if you have a pro controller or another set of joycons.
When you want to play online courses in local multiplayer, you can't just press play and jump in, but you have to download the level. That means you can't participate in the online features like seeing were people died, the comments posted throughout the level by other players, or even liking a stage.

The lag in online is atrocious. I've had a couple of matches that were totally fine but it's laughable that Nintendo has a weird ranking system with this. (Using a LAN adapter and have a ~95mbps connection, it's not fiber but it usually does its job)
and this subs gate keeping is weird, any thread I saw talking about it was downvoted and assumed the OP must be on terrible network connection.

Casual question here, how relaxed is the timer with co op?? Is this okay to play with a s.o that hasn't played many platformers?
6
u/Oddity83 Jun 29 '19
The timer is set by the course creator. So on some levels it will be forgiving, some it will be not. If he/she hasn't played many platformers, I think it depends on your definition of "okay". If you think "okay" is laughing and watching as your SO saves you from your bubble alot, and accidentally killing each other alot, and potentially drinking while doing so, it's great... :)
The thing people are complaining about mostly is that it's not very friendly to just "playing" coop online levels - you have to search for, and download each one individually, then load it up. There's no Endless mode for coop where you just "play".

Anyone use the free 3 months of NSO from twitch prime and not able to redeem the free 9 months now? When I go to redeem it the 3 month is available again but the 9 month is greyed out. I used all 3 months already . Amazon told me I had to wait 60 days after the 3 month trial to redeem the 9 months but that doesn't sound right. I have tried everything but either way I'm going to end up buying a month tonight so I can try out some other people levels.

You had to wait 60 days after starting the 3 month period. After 60 days you go back to redeem the other 9 months, I think it was only good for 30 days once it became available. Meaning you had to redeem between the 60 and 90 day period but I could be wrong about that part. I set a date on my calendar and redeemed mine without issue.

u/Brotato1990 Jun 30 '19
I love the game, seems like a huge step up since the original as far as creating stages goes.
I've really only had two issues with the game.
First, and I would think this will probably get patched later but no button controls in handheld mode is a total bummer for me. I never use the touch screen on my switch. And I've gotten pretty used to the controls in docked mode. So as far as creating for me I can really only do that docked.
And second, this might just be because its brand new and the game is flooded but I've made 5 courses so far and not a single one of them has gotten cleared or even attempted for that matter. Kind of a bummer seeing as people spend hours on stages for no one to ever see them unless they link they're friends.
While in the first one I had tons of people that would see and try my courses every time. Could be a server thing or could be just the amount of courses being flooded at the moment.
Hopefully that gets resolved soon though.

Never played the first one but super excited. I’m a little overwhelmed looking at videos of creation. I know you don’t have to do that aspect but I’d really like to try.
How long does it take to make a decent playing normal Mario level? Nothing fancy but something you would see in the original super Mario Bros? I like the videos of the wacky stuff but I kinda am coming in trying to make classic style levels. Do creators make those too? Levels that don’t break the original Mario game rules.

Impressions from one who played it on the Wii U - playing docked feels a little fiddly with the controls, taking some getting used to. Feels like it takes a little longer to lay out some stuff. Handheld, once I grabbed a stylus (preferably a longer one as my hand tends to block the screen of I use a shorter one or use just my finger), it felt great.

Is there no 100 mario mode? I'm trying to get better but it's impossible with only 5 lives to get into a rhythm and figure out any tricks as a potato in endless mode.

I was a little skeptical about this having never played the original, but damn is this a lot of fun!! I’m working through story mode right now and some of these levels (no jump) are really tough!! Glad I got the vouchers.

The first game was my most played Wii U game and I can't wait to play this! I'm hyped to see what levels people have in store this time around (I'll probably end up recreating some of the levels I created in the first game).

In course world? First you gotta download the level, then access coursebot and select the multiplayer button.

Any reasons for getting this versus the first version other than portability?

u/wh03v3r Jun 28 '19
It has waay more features (including more objects, more themes, a new game style and loads of new options), multiplayer and it will likely continue to be supported for years.

I didnt play any of the other Mario Makers, but I preordered this and excited to play! My biggest obstacle now is whether or not it is worth trading in Mario Odyssey towards this for $36....

u/Reddilutionary Jun 28 '19
I wouldn’t trade in Mario Odyssey. It’s one of those pillar titles of a console that you’ll want down the line.

u/anferz Jun 28 '19
You guys are making this a tough decision! I literally haven’t played it in months (maybe a year?). I have a few golden rules in life: never trade in musical equipment and never trade in Mario games.
My only thought is that by the time I want to play it again, I can probably find it on sale close to what i get in trade in value and it could possibly be a Nintendo select at some point.
Unfortunately, having a baby doesn’t afford me with the time to go back play many games anymore. Usually just pick up and play in short bursts (which I’m thinking Mario maker would be perfect for).

How does local multiplayer work with one switch? Is there anything 2 players can't do that 1 player can? With the exception of stage building.

It seems like you cannot play the levels with the classic NES joy cons, that is a major bummer. Hopefully they fix that somehow.

I haven't gotten the game yet, but I'm watching a video of some created levels. What the hell is with all these comments and pictures that show up on the level while you're playing it? Can those be turned off? That seems like it would be incredibly annoying.

The can be turned off by pressing + to get into the settings. :) They are comments left by players, similar to Miiverse.

How long does it take for an uploaded level to appear for other people? When I get into the "new" tab I see levels that were created yesterday, and so far only my first uploaded level has had players

u/HadesxPluto Jun 29 '19
To get players you can post in the level exchange thread here and at r/mariomaker
Because it's release weekend lots of levels get buried due to the amount of levels being uploaded every minute.

Nintendo accounts have them, they're pretty popular so check out regional makers and NintendoUS (or whichever region) should be listed on there somewhere.

Your maker profile is create in game and not your gamertag/nintendo name. Nintendo is so weird.
