Nintendo has announced that they’ve got one final earth-shattering update coming for Super Mario Maker 2. Set to launch on April 22, the World Maker Update will give creators the chance to bundle together up to 40 courses (spread across eight worlds) into their own mini Mario masterpiece.
Creators have been asking for the ability to build their own “games” with Mario Maker’s toolset since the launch of the original game back in 2015, so this new update is sure to be a big hit with the sequel’s fanbase. But Nintendo isn’t stopping there, and the consolemaker confirmed that even more new features will be tucked away in the World Maker Update.
If you’ve got eight worlds to build, you’re going to need a unique boss at the end of each one. So it’s a good thing that this update will also add the Koopalings to Super Mario Maker 2. Each Koopaling will have their unique movement pattern, and they’ll be making their debut alongside other memorable villains such as the key-chasing Phanto and the wind-up Mechakoopas.
Speaking of Super Mario Bros. 2, the SMB2 Mushroom will arrive to give Mario his outfit from the first US sequel and the ability to pick up and throw items and enemies. Super Mario Bros. 3‘s Frog Suit, Super Mario World‘s Power Balloon, New Super Mario Bros. U‘s Super Acorn, and Super Mario 3D World‘s Boomerang Flower will also be added to Mario Maker 2’s suite of powerups.
You can take a deep dive into everything that Super Mario Maker 2’s World Maker Update has to offer in the new trailer embedded above.
