​

In an unexpected content update, Link, from The Legend of Zelda, joins in on the platforming fun in Super Mario Maker 2. More content is also on the way, including Spike, who can toss projectiles, tall Pokeys, frozen coins, which are blocks with coins inside that thaw with fire, P block, a Ninji speedrun mode, and dash blocks (exclusive to the Super Mario 3D World stages). The Master Sword will also be added as a new powerup, which will turn Mario into Link, complete with sword-swinging, shield-using, and even bomb-tossing. This new update will go live on December 5th, free to all Super Mario Maker 2 players.

"It's dangerous to update alone. Take this!"

*Nintendo uploads another stability firmware*

Super Mario Maker 2 might end up like Super Mario Bros. Crossover but with a level maker

Exactly my hope lol although I doubt there'll be Contra and Mega Man unfortunately.
(Mega Man was an amiibo costume in SMM 1 though, correct?)

Reminds me of those SMB1 reskins you'd get on the old 100 in 1 cartridges lol, looks like a reason to come back to the game all the same.

It's about time they finally give a shit about this game

 

[Computer_Freak_2004]

Very nice. Hopefully they will add other characters too!

Awesome sounding features. Yet still I'm sure there'll be people who will maintain that SMM2 isn't a significant update over the original.

They're finally catching up to Super Mario Bros. X.

Master Sword power up in a MM game!? Hoping there is some sort of crossover in Link's Awakening's Dungeon maker. Could be from Mario or some other Nintendo franchise.

Also, Ninji Speedruns looks a lot like Mario Royale (RIP btw).

I wish so much that I could get this game.

 

[StrayGuitarist]

... WHAT!? YES!!! OH, DUDE! WICKED!

This reminds me of the game made with an SMW creator that featured Link, playable like Zelda 2. It was interesting. I'll need to find it again.

Wow I was not expecting this sort of FREE update for SMM2. I saw a lot of people in the twitch community predicting a DLC soon but most seemed to think it would cost to use for content creation. Getting it all for free, for all players is fantastic. This is by far my favorite nintendo switch game and it just keeps getting better.

In before they add the smash roster.

 

[Bladexdsl]

samus added when?

 

[Ampersound]

What a great surprise. The core game is pretty solid, but it's fun to see things shake up like this every now and then. Especially looking forward to the master sword

What a god tier game, wtf. That update is amazing. Everything sounds awesome. Link alone will lead to thousands of new level ideas.

Damn I hope they keep this up.

Now I just really want a Pikachu update to see what they could do with Pokemon lol. Imagine all the neat possibilities and endless hours of content they could add to the game to keep it relevant for YEARS if they kept this up every few months, adding characters like Samus or something! Just when momentum kinda peters out for the game, bam, new update to bring it back into the public interest during the christmas season where kids are all home from school and playing games for hours on end.
