Super Mario Maker 2

Super Mario Maker 2 is a game for the Nintendo Switch. It is a game that is the third installment of its Super Mario Maker sub-series, following after Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. The game was announced during a Nintendo Direct event on February 13, 2019.
==Gameplay==
This game functions very similarly to its predecessor, along with a wide array of new features that were absent from the previous game. This includes new enemies, items, and new terrain (such as the mostly requested slopes).
This game is also most notable for bringing in the Super Mario 3D World Game Style, with several unique characters, items, settings and other features returning from that video game. However, the Game Style's gameplay is like other Game Styles, taking place in 2D unlike the original game, where it was a fully 3D platform game.

==Trivia==
*Toadette appeared in this game's Super Mario 3D World style. She was absent in Super Mario 3D World.
* In the Super Mario Maker 2 Nintendo Direct, there is a structure that bears a heavy resemblance to a highly popular user-created level titled, Super Mario Vs Mecha Bowzilla.
* In the Extra Game Modes option, there is space for seemingly one more game mode, hinting at DLC extra game modes. However, since Nintendo announced that the 3.0.0 update would be the last major one, the possibility of another game mode being added to the game is extremely low.
* The last update was version v3.0.1, which was a bug fix update. 
* The Superball Flower from Super Mario Land returns in this game.
* Koopa Paratroopas, Red Koopa Troopas, Sideways Thwomps, Sledge Bros. and Koopa Troopa Cars did not appear in Super Mario 3D World, despite being in the game style.
* On the April 20th of 2020, Mario (Builder) and Toad (Builder) were added to Mario Kart Tour.
*Yellow Toad, Peachette, and Nabbit are all absent in this game.
*Princess Peach and Rosalina are both absent in this game.
**Yellow Toad, Peachette, and Nabbit all appeared in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.
**Princess Peach and Rosalina both appeared in Super Mario 3D World.
