Super Mario Maker 2

Super Mario Maker 2 is an upcoming 2D platforming and level-editing game for the Nintendo Switch and the sequel to the 2015 Wii U title Super Mario Maker. The game expands on its predecessor with new features such as a level style based on Super Mario 3D World, which incorporates some gameplay aspects from the 3D platformer, including the Super Bell power-up; new level themes, such as desert, snow, and nighttime; and further terrain options, such as slopes, and water in non-underwater levels. Along with Mario as the main character, Luigi and Toadette appear in the game's artwork wearing Cat Suits, though their exact implementation in the game has yet to be shown. Super Mario Maker 2 is set to be released in June 2019.

Gameplay
As in Super Mario Maker, along with the main contents of the level, each level is set with a style, theme, and time limit. A new mechanic known as Custom Scroll is introduced, which allows the player to set a level to auto-scroll, as well as the directions at which to scroll. The player also has the option to add a coin total showing the number of coins out of a specific number they have collected, though the result for collecting them all is unknown. Vertically scrolling levels can also be created.

In editing mode, the basic functions from Super Mario Maker return, including Mr. Eraser and Undodog, and the player can quickly switch between playing and editing by pressing. As a new feature, the player can zoom out during editing mode to gain a wider view of the level.

Course elements
Instead of displaying every element on a single screen as in Super Mario Maker, at the top-right corner of the screen in editing mode, there is a magnifying glass which, when selected, allows the player to search for course elements by category. Each category's elements are organized into one or more wheels, with the elements as the sectors.
