Super Mario Maker 2was first announced for Switch a few months ago, via a trailer featured in a Nintendo Direct. Ever since, not much has trickled down regarding updated gameplay features or similar details, though the trailer does hint at added aspects like an improved user interface. However, some images on Twitter of a new poster found in some Japanese retailers indicate what may come to the game.
Posted by Twitter user nira3333, there are six images that depict some created levels withinSuper Mario Maker 2that hint at new objects and features. According to the pictures, one very notable new feature is the ability to seemingly make levels in space, aesthetically similar toSuper Mario Galaxy. They appear to play like water levels, given Mario’s position mid-jump in the photo.
Additionally, the ability to make jungle-based levels seems to be present in the game, as well as enemy placements like Meowser and Charvaaghs. The latter additions are both inspired by elements ofSuper Mario 3DWorld, which was previewed as having an influence anyway, as per appearance of the Cat Suit in the game’s initial announcement trailer.

While the images aren’t of the best quality, the content is nonetheless discernible and are representative of the game’s core content and additions to theMario Makerseries. A fourth image in nira3333’s initial tweet displays aSuper Mario World-themed level containing Bullet Bills and otherwise mysterious enemy types. The two images added later by nira3333 also show aSuper Mario Bros. 3level bearing four ominous dangling claws and aNew Super Mario Bros.level in editing, complete with Mario dressed up in his Cat Suit.
While it would be interesting to see Nintendo release a 3DMario Makergame altogether, similar to theSuper Mario 64Makerfan game, the more influenceSuper Mario Maker 2takes from the entirety of the coreSuper Mariogames, the better.
Super Mario Maker 2is set to release Jun 29, 2025, exclusively for the Switch.
