you couldnt reupload downloaded courses in the original game. Even if you changed it. Unless I'm mistaken. I did check though
that's correct
At least you make a copy of that level before you upload it >:)
oh cool its goomba
Omg thelonleygooba. I used to watch all tge time
Munomario777 yeah
I know the comments was disabled in the last video, but I truly respect the message you had for us. Thank you.
Other than that, I'm pretty excited for SMM2!
They were disabled because people were jerks and said that he deserved to be dead
I think
@@schmitt5476 -- It's a shame that people do not value life itself, and rather be completle soulless assholes.
as my man polo g once said "everybody goes through something its all about perseverance"
Agree entirely. Was horrible seeing Alex so upset 😭
When GameXplain and Nintendo Life upload the exact same video at the exact same time.
Ha. It happens
This is better. At least he isn't whiny all the time
Because of the embargo
It's called scheduled uploads.
And Alex isn't nitpicky!

New Super Mario Bros Wii multiplayer in a nutshell.
Mark van der Wal since NSMBW was the game my family used to play together we actually did the racing to the end thing nearly every day. My excitement was through the roof when I heard we could do this officially now! Now my brother won’t cheat and go into his bubble
Me and the boys still play that 10 years on
@@johnmanthorpe4640 the last time I played that game was probably 2 years ago with my neighbors but I havent booted it up in forever. 😪
Hey Alex I know that this is an entirely different video to the previous one, but I just wanted to say thanks for speaking out about the Etika situation. It’s really nice of you to reach out to others with that video. Thanks for being lovely ❤️
Vsauce Puppet
i think i’ve seen you comment before
I agree. It was a very important video to make. For such a light in the dark for people, like me, he sadly couldn't find the way out of his own darkness. I'm really going to miss him, and more than anything I hope society learns from this. Even a little.
Nobody 5000 everyone has
It really hurt me seeing him that way, but it had to be done and he handled it well. Thanks Alex.
Vsauce is everywhere
Yellow Toad isn’t playable because he’s too busy sleeping in Story Mode.
I always found Yellow Toad's exclusion strange since Toadette is no different from the other characters, skill-wise.
It’s finally time for blue toad to get the credit
Who made this choice I must find them so I can make them change this choice before the game comes out
jediguy 12 yes
Is the story mode short or long and is it good, really considering this game
Friday can't come fast enough! The hype train feels a little different now, but it will keep on down the tracks. RIP Etika and JoyconBoyz forever
Jojo Friday

I'm gonna try to get in on thursday.
I got Smash Bros before friday from a store.

Exactly 15:00 CEST (UTC+2), this and tens of other Super Mario Maker 2 reviews were published, and my notifications piled up. I find these review curfews funny, like opening up the floodgates, or releasing desperate cattle onto the grass fields after months of staying indoors!

Whose etika
Alex, just wanted to wish you all the best after your last video. I love this channel, and you and Zion are just the best.
Regarding the previous video about suicide. I can say from experience that I agree with Alex. It does get better, always, and if you're having thoughts like "the world would be better off with out me," you are wrong. I've been in the hospital following a suicide attempt and if I hadn't had my best friend there to convince me to get help I wouldn't have been around to see just how great life could get. The only way it doesn't get better is if you're not there to see it. No matter how low your bottom is, you can get back up. It's years later and I'm doing much better now. In that time I've also lost two friends to suicide. It hurt both times, a lot, even if I hadn't talked to them in months or years. Your death would affect people in ways you could never imagine. I've never met any of you, but I would still be sad to hear about it. Every one of you in your life should have somebody, anybody, you can talk to about it. If you don't, there are resources online or over the phone to help. When you're at your wit's end and you just want it all to stop, do me a personal favour and reach out that one last time, a last ditch effort, and I promise it'll get better.
I just discovered this channel but I just wanna say thanks for using your platform to speak up. not enough youtubers do, and there's a lot of people sitting around online at 3am that could really use the reminder that they're worth it.
Wait, did this comment become longer?
Thanks for sharing your story, I'm sure someone who reads this would really need to hear something like that

HMMMMMMMMMM, I WONDER WHAT THE ANSWER WILL BE.
Yes, no, maybe so? :p
check out game xplains review and you will see why.

GameComplain review?
Nah
Why not buy the damn game if you feel yourself gonna enjoy it
I hope this video helps you find the answer.
Yes... but actually no

Mr pro. Seriously
I just cannot wait to play this game!
Super Merio I wanted to get Odyssey but I prefer this instead.
Almost there
To bad we have to.
:(
I thought your profile picture was kfc
@R0n - Ny! Ugh... For me I will have to wait just more like 15 days 😩. I pre-ordered from Amazon, and it says that it will come only in JULY 12-19! how can I wait that long?!?! This game looks so awesome and I wanna play it real soon!!! :(
am i the only one to notice that the ground connects to the ground for the start? That triggered me every time i made a level in the previous game.
Yeaahh ! That was so annoying and infuriating. So happy they fixed that.
laod you are definitely not alone
It did in everything except mario 1 skin. I hated it to
Same
Thank you! This and Slopes hype me so much
Nintendo is going to sell so many copies of this game
I’m so excited for the game! I’m just disappointed that we didn’t get the ice flower. It seems like a small thing but it is my favorite power up and I hate to not see it in the second game.
One thing, I’m pretty sure you couldn’t reupload a level you downloaded even if you added some blocks. Great video though!
Dude! How amazing would it be if they included _mouse support_ ? It would be like Mario Paint.
Or let's go crazy! *Wacom* support!!
lmao ur nuts if u think that’ll happen
@@snitchbug Wacom part, agree. But they have support for keyboard so I don't see why.
1:00
Nintendo Land: Am I a joke to you?
Nathan H that game was amazing
The PSA in the last video was beautiful Alex. RIP Etika, will be smashing some SMM2 in your memory with the JoyconBoyz.
Oh, that's cool and all but when will Nintendo announce Smm3? I'm already hyped for it!
@Plop Plop this is probably the most underrated comment of all time
@Plop Plop probably when Valve releases Half Life 3
Why would there be a need unless something fundamentally changes? Maybe a new console but even then there is a chance they could make games backwards compatible. MM2 has a TON of ability to release patches and DLC. Just keep beefing up what we have. If they already start looking at MM3 then it will be like the first one and all content updates will halt until a new title comes out. I would prefer the content asap.
@@ReivecS the thing is Nintendo starts developing games 3-5 years before its release. For example mario odyssey and breath of the wild were being developed before the Wii u came out. And it came out on the next generation of consoles.
@@fildemen6626 Well then you answered your question. They will announce in 3-5 years. However I don't think that is entirely true in all cases. Do you not think that SMM2 uses code from the first one? Similarly do you not think a 3rd would build off the same code base? This could reduce the time required to build a sequel but it also means that any work done requires a decision of "do we add this in now as DLC or do we hold it for a sequel?" and back to my original point, I would rather have it now.
Great review! I've been STOKED about this game ever since it was announced. I like your approach in this review, because a lot of the recent complaints about this game (ie: 3d World) have caused me to simply eyeroll, because it honestly just never seemed like a big deal. ESPECIALLY as somebody like me who never got to play Mario Maker 1, the little complaints in regards to building, I simply won't miss. I understand if you're coming from part 1, certain changes may taste a little bitter, but at the grand scheme of it all, the changes I've seen really don't seem as significant as the improvements.
Considering Mario Maker 1 was on the WiiU, this sequel is likely to have a HUGE amount of new players who simply won't miss the relatively minor changes. And 3d world being treated differently in its arsenal of tools just really doesn't phase me, because I can simply just choose the other themes.
I literally bought a Wii U for Mario Maker. Of course this is going to be worth it.
11/10 Game of the year
I'm so glad you said "ZombiU" in the beginning. That game used the gamepad masterfully.
It really did
I just wanted to thank you guys for making that other video. Your content is amazing and genuine and your creators always come across as real and awesome people. Thank you again what you said needed to be said and coming from a voice a strong as yours I'm glad it will reach the masses. Thank You.
Meanwhile at IGN...
It just make you feel like Mario maker2
"But do you *really* feel like mario?"
too much water?
LordeCry too much water 7/10
IGN: "It sucks. It's horrible, bland, no fun at all, the music is tasteless and it made our intern Janice literally throw up.
8/10"
Props for using the word "cromulent" in the review. That really embiggened me.
Best Simpsons reference ever :)
Thank you for the last video. R.I.P. Etika. Such a tragic loss.
Who is etika?
@@BoeJurrow He was a streamer who committed not alive about a week ago.
@@ocelotplush1666 oh...
Dunno about "tragic" but it's a loss I guess.
@Coel I can say what I want. So you can ignore if it's offending you.
Alex, what you said about the story mode being acceptable as it's own game is really interesting. I never really thought of it like that but I guess you're right.
Hey! Can someone tell me what the 3d world world 1 remix at the beginning of the video is?
An 11/10 would be the addition of secret exits and a customizable overworld map to tie your levels together.
Uber Dueler definitely on to something
An incredible review. I love Gamexplain, don’t get me wrong, and I admire all the videos they did about SMM2, but in terms of the review, this one is better and more accurate by a mile. Great work Alex!
Very good review, but I have something to say:
I played the game for the first time yesterday at midnight lmao and I tried the making tools and actually created a decent level and uploaded it. And, even though I played SMM 1 and loved the gamepad, I wasn't bothered a lot by the controller controls. I think they did a pretty good job of working around the hardware limitations of the switch (compared to the wii u) to actually offer a very enjoyable experience on TV with a controller. I'm pretty sure touch controls are more intuitive and easy to use, but the controller ones are definitely not bad, at least in my opinion.
I sort of wonder if the “everything unlocked from the start” thing is actually going to whole true for the final release, or if it was just put in for the review versions to allow for more freedom to test the game before it came out.
You're a lovely person Alex. Thank you for being so genuine.
Glad you guys actually bothered to try to get used to editing with a controller unlike a certain *other* Nintendo news outlet
Gamexplain loved the first game and spent a lot of time with it so they were saying if you spent a lot of time with that game then this games controls would be pretty hard to get used to.
Thank you so much for your last video. That was greatly appreciated and welcomed at a time like this. Love you, Nintendo Life. Keep up the good work.
That said, I’m super excited for this game on Friday! Gonna order a pizza and play this with a friend of mine. We’re both stoked for this title 😄
I remember really loving the first Mario Maker game both on my Wii U and my 3ds. So this Friday morning I am planning on going to my local Target. Hopefully as soon as the store opens. To get 3 things Mario Maker 2, an USB cable charger for my switch, and get a grey pair of joy cons. Since the ones I have now have not been working right for me. Plus the right joy con crack when I accidentally drop it. And that is the one that is giving me the most problems. So I definitely need a new pair.
*Didn't You Know?* I'm getting this solely for the music options. SUNSHINE MUSIC MMMMMMMHHHH
Didn'tYouKnowVideoGames? For me it’s gusty garden galaxy that is my all time favorite video game song
@@RawSchmeat same
Dude, thank you so much for this review!! Game explain practically destroyed it, so so sooooo glad to see such a positive review!!!!!! Very excited for Friday :D
Critical reviews aren't automatically bad.
I@@BoeJurrowTrue true, but what I'm trying to say is I've been unbelievably excited for this game for months now, and to it get so violently ripped apart is disappointing, and sad. But, then good 'ol Alex comes along, and makes me realise that this game is as good as I imagined, and perhaps I shouldn't take word from a hardcore fan with over 800+ hours.
@@ZackInTheBoxx so you are exited for this game maybe a little too much and criticism makes you realize that it is a game with flaws?
@@ZackInTheBoxx I am also very excited for this game but i can accept criticism of it.
Jack Kiefer I think he’s talking about how gamexplain did kind of get picky with the game
My birthday is in a week so I'm totally going to get it as the story mode in the first mario maker wasn't very exciting I'm also excited to see what people can do with the new settings love ur vids
Your intros never fail to make me feel all warm and bubbly. Great start to the day.
You couldn’t reupload someone else’s course in the original, though.
RIP Etika. Great video Alex.
And if anyone doesn’t get this game you’re clearly delusional.
How is an empty wallet delusional? I cant get the game if I dont have 60 dollars
Yes lets forget the people who dont have money 😍
It’s called a job
either delusional, or broke
DeathClutch77 ain’t fishing for likes loser so get a life I could care less
Thank you so much for the video yesterday. As someone who suffers from these types of things and mental illness, it *really does help* to hear someone say that, even though sometimes it's extremely hard for us to believe you. It still means the world to us
So interesting to see the different points of view between you and Gamexplain's review. He was disillusioned with the things they removed from the first game, usually the quirky things that add that extra special something. He thinks MM2 seems more sterile because of it. I wonder if the differences will affect the creativity of the new levels or if things will go swimmingly as if nothing they took out matters.
Gamexplain: Reee this isn’t in the game
Nintendo Life: Woah! All this new stuff is Pretty cool!
Nintendo life: tons of positive and interesting information of mario maker 2
Gamexplain: REEEEEEEEEEE
1:16 That voice crack though
Does anyone know where I can listen to that music that's at the beginning and end of the video? I'm sure it's music from the game but it's hard to find if I don't know what menu or course name it is.
Edit: Starts at 00:25
For anyone interested, it's this: czcams.com/video/gqz8qRDn90M/video.html
Thanks for not just Notpicking the entire time like GamExplain
You kinda have to in a game where using specific tools are half of the experience. I'd rather have an honest review than one that seeks out to please Nintendo anyway
@@sonof7yoshis but it different when most of your nitpicks key word your are ignoring the highlights of the game
@@Ty-cx5zj not sure if you watched the gamExplain review but in it he goes over the positives and how it is a step up from the first game and is lacking in these areas. He talks about it both for creators and players. In this video everytime he brings up a negative, he pretty much takes it back in the next sentence or two. I'm guessing the Nintendo life channel is biased towards Nintendo titles but eh what do I know?
End completely took me off guard. Listening while at work and just started laughing my ass off.
It would be great if in a future update we’d get the option to mirror the screen on tv so we can still use portable mode when playing on the tv
That was a great review for Super Mario Maker 2 on Nintendo Switch Lite and by the way, 20th Century-Fox Fanfare is my favorite Super Mario Maker 2 music level. Thanks to Helsionium.
RIP etika I would've love to see you play this game
Mic muted.....
Stalling boys....
Use your imagination for the rest.
dbreszy he didnt like mario
3:53 my mom is in the game?! My mom’s name is nina
OMG I can't wait to get this tmr ! I never had the Wii U and I played Maker 1 on the new 3ds XL but it's not even close to the real thing. I hope and wish to be able to create some good tracks for players all over the world. Watching this video makes me 10 times more excited for it tmr .
Didn't dowload courses can't be reuploaded no matter how many changes you do to it anyways in the original?
This sound much more positive than gameXplanes (probably didn’t spell it right) review
6:25
It’s madness...but is it Sparta?
Who else is wait for the Banjo and Kazooie Amiibo? (Not kidding)
Me!
Back in February, when Nintendo announced SMM2, I was super hyped and couldn't wait until it came out. I was planning on making the hardest level ever when it came out, so I decided to watch hardest levels in Mario videos for inspiration. It was through that that caused me to find Sokobansolver's Mario Must Die hacks. I decided to try to figure out how he made them (no way you can do that in SMM), and that exposed me to SMW ROM hacking.
ROM hacking was a blast, and it got me even more hyped for SMM2, and I pre-ordered it the night before it came out. When I finally got to play it, I have to say, I was very disappointed, because it was very lacking content-wise.
I am still disappointed with SMM2 to this day because we have only received one content update that added Link and two other enemies, as well as the snowball. We still don't have the ability to make custom blocks, custom backgrounds, or the ability to import custom music (smwcentral.net has a wide plethora of SMW custom music for ROM hacks). The only things that SMM2 beats Lunar Magic (the tool most people use to make SMW hacks) are different game styles and no sprite slowdown, which honestly isn't a problem for most ROM hackers. The only thing that makes SMM2 better than Lunar Magic IMO is the Super Mario World theme. Maybe if SMM2 only cost $10-$20 I'd be fine but I payed $60 for a game that I can easily replicate with a free tool.
I'm not going to haggle Nintendo for a refund, but I'm very disappointed with SMM2, especially since I payed $60 for it, and Nintendo even actively deletes levels that exploit gameplay bugs and even bans their creators, while the ROM hacking community actively embraces bugs. I'm seriously regretting my decision to buy SMM2. For that, I'd personally rate SMM2 6/10, especially since Geometry Dash, Mega Man Maker, and Lunar Magic have considerably more options for the price range of free to $2.00 (depending if you have mobile or Steam for GD).
Please don't hate my comment SMM2 fanboys!
I’m taking notes, that was some fantastic editing!
Nintendo Life, Gamexplain, and IGN all uploaded reviews about this game at the same time!😂
SUPER MARIO WARRIORS lol
That’s because the final the embargo was just lifted.
Yeah I saw that have you seen that video that he did with Etika
Rip to Etika
I posted this comment in all there videos😂
That's because they already had them made, but they are not allowed to upload it until a certain time.
Can't wait to pick up my pre-ordered copy high comes with a free themed stylus and notepad.
I really think the stylus will improve the experience which makes me wonder why they do not include the style with every future copy.
I have a question
Can you tap the letters on the title screen to make effects or other things like in the Wii U game
10/10 wow... That doesn't happen often.. I was hyped, now my hype has transcended beyond hype!
He gave mario maker 10/10 so this is not surprizing
You should enable comments on the previous video so we can pay our respects.
What a great review, much better than the one from GameComplain, lol. This has me even more pumped for the game! My only concern is hoping they find a way or algorithm to separate the SP levels from the MP ones, to ensure the best experience for those levels. Bring on Friday!
Alex, please bring back the Super Mario Maker Superstar Showcase! I loved those videos and they gave me so many great ideas and it was fun to watch you play them.
The original Mario Maker almost made me get a Wii U, which was impressive
Same. I remember watching all the trailers for Mario Maker trying to talk myself into buying a Wii U.
me too, but thankfully my brother convinced me that the wii u is dead.
We need to make a tribute level for Etika...
We need to get this to the top of the thread. It needs to be pinned. Mind if I copy the comment? Just to help the cause
@@drummerboy0620 Ok!
@@drummerboy0620 👍
oh my god this gameplay and level-creating is absolutely amazing in the background
even if you didn't build the levels i have to credit you for letting my eyes see this
I wanted TV mode to be able to edit things as if you were to use a Wii remote to point at stuff too, possibly being able to toggle between the current mode and this
Needed more waffling. 4/10
thank you for shining light on the etika situation to a community that may not have known about that
An idea to address the clunky nature of tv mode while editing would be to Introduce an option Android/iOS app to pair your phone and tablet to the switch in order to edit?
I dunno, just a thought.
that 3D Mario world map music..so good!
I wish Etika was still alive to review this game on stream.
10/10 well that's a good score
Okay there's at least one concern I have: What stylus should I get for this game? I don't know much about styluses...
I wonder if you can still press on the Letters in the title screen to trigger easter eggs when you have your switch in handheld mode
I'm ready.
Hi, i love your videos
Yes. It’s worth it. ’Nuff said.
No, not enough was said with your claim. Convince me.
I'm not going to make any levels but just play the ones other users make. So I was wondering if I should get it on launch or wait a day or 2 and give people some time to make and upload levels.
Or if your buying it digitally then you should probably wait a day or two
Depends on how many Wii U Mario Makers are coming over, fab levels could come in say a week or so. Wouldn't be disappointing to get the game day 1 as you could play the story levels as you wait :)
I'd get it on release to have that prized release day screenshot
5:21 My God, man, that was the most well-written and most well-delivered line I have ever heard on a CZcams video
This is basically a review of the game without the little garbage nit picks
Triton 64 ye game explain have really been pissing me off with their review on smm2
@@gabegal5016 You can't call somebody dumb when you have spelling and grammar mistakes :/
GAME OF THE YEAR!!
@Dread Animations true dat
Do multiplayer courses require you to beat them with both players? That would solve any issues with locking players from completing the level.
As someone who got quite into making ROM hacks for SMW, and being slightly disappointed with how limited SMM1 was in some areas, I can't wait for this. I won't be getting my copy until a few days after release because no release date delivery on my pre-order, but as soon as I get it I will be spending so much time with it.
That online though🤢
What’s wrong with it?
Way better review than Game Explain!
IKR! I usually love their reviews, but Andre tends to focus on his own point of view, rather than simply judging a game on its own merits, so they usually are more opinion pieces than reviews. He did the same thing with BOTW, where he said he simply liked it a lot, then a year later he was gushing about how much he loved it🙄. Now Derrick and Jon on the other hand, they both give very honest and level headed reviews. I’ve never seen a bad one by those two!
1:16 🤔🤔🤔
I watch a lot of streamers and I have a feeling not being able to edit a course is going to take away from the experience. It's always fun to see how something works.
are there are courses made by Nintendo that players can play off line? Do you need an online subscription to play the fan made courses? I per-ordered this game and can't wait to play it. I missed out on Super Mario Maker on the Wii U. This game looks like an absolute blast to play. Great review!
CANT WAIT FOR DASHIE GAMES THO!!!!
Too much waffling, try waffling less next time bc all that waffling is off putting
........waffling
Better than pancaking amirite
I’ve always wanted to recreate NSMBDS faithfully and now that will be a lot easier
i was so excited to get the game on launch day because i preordered it, but the target website said that it’s not gonna be here until the 1st-4th or july😰 but at least i’m gonna get the game so i’m still ecstatic
