Just wondering if anything is under the surface of just creating levels for someone not into that? For instance are their new premade levels made or anything else outside of making your own levels?

Is Mario Maker worth buying if you don’t enjoy making levels??

I think you'd be missing an essential part of the experience. There's certainly plenty of levels to PLAY, but if you're not gonna work with the maker tools you might as well just play the Mario games you already have.
There are pre-made levels but also levels that other people have created. If you want to play new Mario levels regularly this is the game you can do that with.
We had a lot of fun in the mode that let you run through random lists of other player created levels.
Oh hell yeah.
You'll have an endless amount of Mario levels. Eventually, the community will have a fantastic selection of good/amazing levels that you'll be set for long time on 2D Mario game's.
Plus im sure Nintendo will include original created levels like the last two entries.
Tho early online days will be rough with bad levels lol

Yes..playing other people and usually some from nintendo itself is great mario experience. I rarely making levels in wiiU but i spent about 60 hours playing people levels. Its fun.
Of course, considering millions of levels will be uploaded. I'm sure there will be a topic here to help determine the best ones too.
It's worth it for sure. Even if you never make a proper level you can have a ton of fun just playing around with the editor. The supply of levels is great, you get a bunch of weird stuff but it's pretty easy and quick to skip forward to something else.
People create some amazing levels so maybe. If you get Mario Maker I would recommend at least trying out the level creator. I don't find level creation modes in most to be fun but had a lot of fun creating levels in Mario Maker.
Nope. The majority of community created levels are garbage and the curated levels were few and far between.
That being said, I'm not a "content creator" guy at all, but making levels in Mario Maker was a really fun experience. So maybe you'll like it even though you don't expect to?

i've never made a level and probably put in between 30-40 hours between the wii-u and 3ds versions.
it's just endless mario platforming-- can't wait to not make anything in pt 2 either

It is absolutely worth it for the millions of playable levels alone. I'm not the creative type so I had a hard time making good levels in the first game. I'm sure Mario Maker 2 will have even more creative levels to play endlessly without even needing to create a single level.
Super Mario Maker 3DS features 100 brand new levels made by Nintendo that you can just play through.
I bought a Wii U in order to play the original Mario Maker and spent about 90% of my time playing levels.
100% worth it.
100% worth it.
It is worth it if you are good with playing a lot of peoples creations. There were tons of brilliant created levels in the original Mario Maker.
The original came with some nintendo made levels, the 3ds version expanded on that and there are lots of "singleplayer" modes to play levels made by random people based on difficulty which rewards you with stuff.
And don't forget the official made levels that also gave you outfits like the pokemon, hello kitty or baby metal ones

Honestly, the quality of levels can vary a lot, and I found playing certain types of levels to be really frustrating and tedious. I hope Nintendo improves the filtering options in the sequel, because I really don't want to "play" levels that play by themselves (and are overly long) or levels that you just walk/run to the right in order to complete them. Also, too many levels are far too difficult.
Yeah, there's a collection of 70ish Nintendo levels in the base game organized as the "10 Mario Challenge", plus a bunch more patched in as "event courses" to unlock costumes. The 3DS version has another set of 100ish Challenge levels as well.
And then the game serves you up levels in the 100 Mario mode, you just have to have some appetite for skipping through some crud.

What type of rewards?
I bought the first Mario Maker with the plan in mind that I'd just play user created levels. I didn't have the game for too long, so don't take my experience as gospel, but I found a lot of the levels to bit hit or miss. The auto-run levels are amusing at first, but kind of wear out their welcome. A lot of the other levels my girlfriend and I tried just weren't long or entertaining enough to sustain our interest in the game and we ultimately traded it in.
That being said, if others are saying that there's a ton of great levels to explore, I'll defer to them since I'm sure the community only got stronger after I sold my copy.

Absolutely yes, I barely made any of my own levels, but I got so much play time out of the levels my daughter made, as well as levels random folks made online, that I probably eclipsed over twenty hours played for the game, which for me is quite a lot these days. Great game, tons of charm, ridiculous fun.
1 through 100 ... the rest is gotten by those official stages I mentioned
Yeah, if you don't want to make courses could still be a lot of fun playing others'. I was only checking out the Mario Maker subreddit around release, but I'm guessing the old place had a solid community for sharing and providing feedback on levels. It's a neat and pretty unique rhythm to get in of trying out some levels and sharing your thoughts with the creators. People used to even post sets of levels they would refer to as their own "world" or "game", some of which turned out to be really well designed and incremental. I'm sure era will have a good community for it on release
i have spent 99% of my time on mario maker (150 hrs) i'm playing levels . i made one short level that went viral online and never touched it again . (for reference , it's the level where you slide down the pole but never make it to the end and mario is just endlessly running )
Definitely, the community has created lots of excellent stuff, and to me it's always fascinating trying levels that think outside the boundaries of what Nintendo normally does - assuming they are well-made levels, that is. But amongs plenty of trash, there's tons of quality material, too. Worth it imho.
There were some good courses but hard to find the wheat from the chaff. And there was a ton of chaff. Chaff everywhere.
As others have said, yeah, definitely. I played the game on and off for months and month and only really messed around with the level creator to get a feel for it. I think creating content adds a whole other element to the game and would be a fantastic value for those interested, but the game is great to just play other peoples content.
I'm don't think I'll be creating anything either, OP. I'm currently playing through Mario Maker 3DS, specifically the built-in levels from Nintendo, and am really enjoying them. Some of them are quite challenging, too.
I may have a go at creating some levels for the Switch version.

I hope they do something good about giving you good levels, or some kind of incentive to play others.
That was my main beef with MM. I didn't super enjoy making levels, and even when you cleared a level online... you're not progressing torwards anything really.
Honestly, if you want to play some really badass levels, just play Super Luigi U. THOSE are some real great Mario levels.

Of course
Just know it may require a bit of effort on your part to find good standard mario difficulty levels.
