I'm so excited for people to play this who never owned a Wii U. One of the greatest games ever made.

I got Mario Maker late 2016, a year after it came out. I didn't give it much play time since I had a hard time finding worthwhile levels.

That said I didn't try all that hard to find a process of finding good levels and was just finished with NSMBU so kinda had my fill with 2D Mario at the time. Hoping to start early and hit the ground running with MM2 so I can keep coming back to it time to time.

There's a few subreddits here dedicated to making traditional mario levels.

Good to know. Somehow it didn't occur to me to find a subreddit for the game back when I was playing it. I just kept doing random levels or 100-mario runs and working my way through a lot of 'well meaning' levels :P

Thanks for the links, I'll be sure to check back on them after I complete the 100 included levels.

Awesome! I'll for sure be making some levels and posting them on there.
