Costumes will not return in Mario Maker 2 (mystery mushroom, Amiibo)
- Thread starter HustleBun
- Start date
A shame no doubt but I'm willing to bet something is taking it's place, and even if not there's a lot to like about what we've seen with Mario Maker 2 so far. I can understand disappointment in the lack of online multiplayer with friends, but I think fears that this game will be objectively worse than the first don't have much weight yet.
So you're happy there's less content in the game just because you didn't have it last time? Nice!
Gamers are such a sad bunch.
There's more content in SMM2 than there was in SMM1 and none of it is locked behind paid DLC physical or otherwise. Yes, I'm happy about that.
It sucks the costumes didn't come back with a better unlock method but oh well.
They might as well have been considering how slow the unlock process was. Rolling the dice in expert 100 Mario challenge until you got a set of levels that was actually playable wasn't fun.
I am actually more annoyed that Princess Peach and Daisy aren't playable and yet the toads are.
Unless you unlock them after finishing story mode...but I am not holding my breath.
It was a downgrade the moment they decided to tuck away playing other people's level behind the paywall.
I doubt it.

They were neat, but I honestly won't miss them that much. Fully playable Toadette makes it up for me. However, I enjoyed unlocking them and I hope there's some kind of unlockable to replace them for replay value. Hopefully some unlockable Mario characters like Peach, Wario, etc, but I'm doubtful on that.
Oh yeah. I forgot about that.. Well hopefully there's unlockables that actually do something within the game. I don't care much about dressing my Mii up for menus.
Nostalgia.
What's the point of using ANY different theme???
You like the style.
Never they mind that they were also unlockable in game too. Some real goofiness happening here all around.
Wow, this sucks hardNo online with friends and now this... They were so cool. :<
In Super Mario Maker 1 you can unlock them playing without amiibo.
I'm bummed out about this (though I fully expected it) but I do not see how SMB1 style is pointless when it's just another style now. It's literally the iconic style too.
I mean most of the other style have slightly different gameplay elements to them
Mario 1's stuff is pretty much done better in everything else. The costumes were the only reason I ever left Mario World style in the first game.
I mean nope, read you wrong.
I think the no online multiplayer with friends is far shittier.
Power ups are generally more meaningful in the Mario 1 style with the more limited move set so in MM1 it was ideal for making levels where power ups gave access to new parts of a level.
Just thinking about it logistically, since there's multiplayer now, every sprite would need to be created with 4 color schemes.
Also, since levels can have mixed themes, then you'd have situations where you lose the custom mid-level etc.
It makes sense why they wouldn't include it

It's a real bummer to see amiibo get pushed further and further to the backburner. It's really looking more and more like they were just fillers in Nintendo's revenue shortfalls in the Wii U era. Oh well.
Disappointing, but it isn't a dealbreaker by any means for me. This game just offers so much more than the original game that I'm still really hyped for it.
As for amiibos, I think the writing is on the wall that the line is done once they finish releasing the Smash Bros. characters. There's been a notable drop off in figures being released and the number of supported games since last year.

That shouldn't have been that much of an issue, it could be easily solved by giving characters a colored outline and/or a P1/P2/P3/P4 tag like in Smash. I guess it's more of an indication that this is the end for amiibo and they didn't want to include a feature that was focused around it.
