Endless Challenge

**Endless Challenge** is an online mode in *Super Mario Maker 2* where Mario embarks on a journey.

## Gameplay

As the name suggests, Mario plays through randomly-generated user-created levels until he runs out of lives. Like the 100 Mario Challenge, Mario can skip levels or get up to 3 extra lives per course. By collecting 100 coins, the player will be gift a 1-up. The number of coins doesn't reset between levels. If the player skips, the number of coins will be set to the former one he had before starting the level. The life counter maxes out at 99 extra lives. Once Mario completes a course, a graphic appears indicating the course theme.

When a player completes a certain amount of levels, the player can appear on a leaderboard. The leaderboard indicates its place when one sets a new personal score and as long as there are less 100,000 persons who also cleared this number of levels.

On the map, players can exit Endless Challenge, and they can start where they left off or start a new run.

## Difficulty

There are four difficulty levels in Endless Challenge. Each difficulty has a different starting number of lives as well as the map music.

 Normal
 Expert
 Super Expert

## Strategies

* Getting extra lives is important to ensuring that a run lasts long.
	+ This can be done by stomping on a series of enemies without landing on the ground, finding 1-Up Mushrooms, or reaching the top of the flagpole.
	+ Note that only three 1-Ups can be redeemed per level.
* Skipping levels can be useful for unfair troll levels or difficult Kaizo levels.
