Create or Play? That is the big question asked of anyone who starts a game in the Super Mario Maker series. Join Michiel, Brian, Darren and Ryan as they ponder its significance, go over the history of the Mario level editor phenomenon and attempt to put in words what they personally get out of the 2015 Wii U release, its 2016 3DS port and its 2019 Switch sequel.

I wish I had been paying attention to the schedule because the Mario Maker series is special to me. When the Wii-U version came out, I was participating in a general community forum where everyone but me was hyping the game. I didn't have a Wii-U and had to watch from the sidelines. I wanted to go and buy one for Mario Maker, but my wife felt that my enthusiasm for a new game system had eclipsed my enthusiasm for moving forward in our lives. I had to sideline my desires and put family first. Shortly before the birth of our daughter, I heard that the game was coming to 3ds. I had a 3ds! I told my wife and she said, "See, good things come to those who wait." I knew it wasn't going to be the same, but I was still very excited. The game came out shortly after my daughter did, and I was able to sneak in some hours here and there while wife and daughter were sleeping. The stock levels really were like their own handheld 2d Mario game that surpassed some previous handheld Marios in quality. I made a few levels, a process that was well-suited to the 3ds touch screen, despite it being on the small side. Of course, I had no way to share the levels or receive feedback. I once passed the 3ds to a friend at work and he cleared my courses after a few deaths. The 100-Mario Challenge was fun and there was a sizeable pool of levels, but I knew the pool was redacted because many levels on the Wii-U version used the special character costumes which the 3ds version didn't have. When the Switch came out, I figured I had no chance of getting one, but my parents and sister surprised me. Shortly before Christmas 2017, I received a package with my name on it. I opened it and found a Switch and a copy of Breath of the Wild. If I had gotten a Wii-U, I might have missed out on the Switch, but I knew that they would bring Mario Maker over. So, when Nintendo announced the existence of Mario Maker 2, I was ecstatic. My experience with the series was going to get better in every way! When the game arrived, my wife and daughter went traveling and I had quite a bit of time to dive in. Once again, the onboard levels were excellent and I enjoyed being able to hunt for specific levels and follow my favorite creators. Playing several levels from the maker of Celeste was a real treat, for example. My only complaint was that my online friends were not as enthusiastic as I was. They had experienced the first game and were not hyped for the second. I tried hyping it myself and getting people on board, but they would not go along with me. The only time when someone from my community got into it was when Nintendo released the first ninji speedrun. We battled for the best time and ultimately, I snatched the best time right before the period ended. I still need to get back into the game to see what the community has done with the latest update, which was quite an addition. I still think that MM2 is one of the best games on the system, but I wished my friends agreed so that I could enjoy it all the more.

Hey, why not share your creator code in the SMM2 topic (under subforum Community Gaming) on the Cane and Rinse forums? We can start checking out each other's courses from there on out.
