It's now been four years since the first Mario Maker sandbox builder. This new version gives you more sharing features and expands the possibilities for your games. Features include new course parts and tools; a single-player story mode with 100 Nintendo-created courses, more themes, online course sharing, an ON/OFF Switch to swap the red and blue blocks, a water level feature and a co-op mode for game sharing. Nice touches include a night mode, a Ghost House, random sandstorms in the desert and a multiplayer co-op mode that can be shared by up to four players. If one player finishes it, everyone wins. Super Mario Maker 2 + Nintendo Switch Online Bundle is launching in stores and digitally in Nintendo eShop on June 28 in addition to the stand-alone game.
