Nintendo’s Mario Maker sequel might add a bunch of new things to the Mushroom Kingdom creation station, but a couple of omissions have upset fans.
For starters, there’s been criticism of the fact the game does not include the option for online multiplayer with your pals. Online multiplayer is new to Super Mario Maker 2, and footage of it during the recent Nintendo Direct for the game was warmly received. Fans assumed – though it was never stated – they would be able to play online with friends. But this is not the case.
At this week’s round of preview events for the game, a spokesperson told Nintendo World Report you were limited to online play with randoms to ensure course leaderboards were not dominated by teams working meticulously together. Which, to be honest, sounds like a really fun way to play.
