Oh! The perfect birthday gift for me, Nintendo? You shouldn't have.

You're welcome everybody.

Do you think this Big Mushroom in standard play thing might replace the Mystery Mushroom? I hope not...I just have a bad feeling that Nintendo doesn't want to maintain mystery mushrooms anymore since they added Luigi, Toad and Toadette

That's a good point actually. Amiibo might have a whole new functionality given the potential multiplayer/character choice component.

What are those enemies above Mario in the multi-colored pipe screenshot?

Aaaah, so much cool stuff packed in so little.

*Rainbow platforms
*Goombrats
*upside down Pirana plants (without needing a pipe)
* cranes
*Mario seemingly swimming/flying in the space theme (notice the animation looking a lot like swimming)
*creeper vine things?

If Mario really is 'swimming' there, I wonder if it means you can place blobs of floaty space, and they've just covered the whole scene?

So there is a Skyworld Theme (cloud blocks, raindow and bean stock platforms).
I would say, those are all new themes: Jungle, Ice, Desert, Sky and Nighttime.

It's starting to get really interesting.

I hope every theme has a night/dark version. That'd be so cool. Also because I desperately want the night starry sky background from Mario world:

Are build in levels like 3ds confirmed being back already? Its already worth getting for the 10 bux cheaper online and the steel case or stylus but built in levels would really be cool!

I guess, we have follwing themes:
  • Ground
  • Underground
  • Underwater
  • Ghost House
  • Airship
  • Castle
  • [New] Forest / Jungle
  • [New] Ice
  • [New] Desert
  • [New] Sky
  • [New] Nightime
Still missing are the common Coastal and Mountain themes, then we would have all the default ones for a Mario game.

I'm starting to think it's a space theme, considering Mario's pose in that screenshot and the skull heads floating above the lava.

Those screenshots really have some interesting stuff, especially now that we have clean pictures. I'll update my list from yesterday:
  • Themes
    • We get our first looks at the SMB Jungle Theme and SM3DW Snow Theme; both of these have been shown in other game-styles before though.
    • With a clearer look at that SMW screenshot, it seems clear that we are looking at a Sky/Cloud theme (those rainbow platforms and the cloud appearance for the ground really sells that).
    • We've seen the Theme shown in that NSMBU screenshot before, but we aren't any closer to determining what it is supposed to be. Since it seems like Mario is swimming in the air there, it might be a Space theme?
  • Objects
    • Multi-Colored Pipe are available (Green and Red were already shown, but Blue and Yellow are new)
    • The Big Mushroom from SMM is clearly back, as shown in the SMB screenshot.
    • That closer look at the SMB3 screenshot shows us that enemies and objects attached to rails can now be held by claws, which can assumably drop the objects?
    • Those rainbow platforms in the SMW screenshot are all-new.
    • The SM3DW screen shows icicles hanging from the ceiling. You can likely set certain icicles to fall when Mario crosses underneath them.
  • Enemies
    • The blue variant of Piranha Creepers from 3D World are also making an appearance in SMM2. If they work like that game, they'll start fully extended until they are hit.
      • It also seems like Piranha Creepers might be in non-3D World themes, as they seem to be present in the SMW screenshot (with the head just slightly off-screen)
    • Piranha Plants can now be placed upside-down without the need of the Pipe (this was actually shown for a split second at the end of the reveal trailer, but i'll keep it here anyway).
    • Goombrats appear in the SMW screenshot. Seeing as they originated in NSMBU, they are probably being added to every theme.
    • Charvaarghs appear in the SM3DW screenshot. We do not know if they will be theme-exclusive enemies or not.
    • Meowser is available as a variant for Bowser in the SM3DW theme.
  • Other
    • A closer look at this screenshot (first shown at the investor's meeting) shows us two new things:
      • Objects can be pinned to the taskbar at the top, probably meaning that they won't be pushed off when more objects are brought in and used.
      • The Super Bell Tree is sorted into the Yellow Category (Objects?), confirming that they aren't a shake variant for the Super Bell (like some were speculating).

One more thing (that could be big, or just a change between builds): the cursor now has a red outline around it. This could either be an aesthetic change, or could signify co-op editing as a multiplayer feature (which we know is coming, thanks to a mistake they made on the US site).

In terms of themes, all i'm really hoping for now is Beach, Mountain and Lava; really the last three big themes used in the modern Mario games (though the older games might need some new assets to help adapt them).

I'm ridiculously excited for this game. It's my most anticipated game of 2019 by far. I hope we get a boatload of new information about it soon, because this drip-feeding of new clues is torture. :)

It's shaping up to be a much more expanded sequel indeed, and we still have no info about the implied multiplayer.

I'd love DLC of some of the less minor per game ones (SMB1's castle ext, SMB3's Tank & Battleship especially)

my fave thing with mario maker is seeing the new art assets they create for the games that never had something.

The SMW yoshi is red and looks like it just spit out a fireball, different variants of Yoshi confirmed?? Will we get different color shells to give different effects like the blue/red/rainbow??

All we've seen so far is red, but I hope for this, but largely because it would most likely mean you'd be able to place empty shells and not have to come up with a contraption to have just a shell. Also disco shell would be great to have.

Also something else confirmed. Enemies are affected by the tornado. Look at the bombomb in the cloud level floating in the tornado

Oh wait, I just realised that the Rainbow platforms are probably just unique-looking semi-solid platforms for the sky theme.

We've seen Red Yoshi already (in the reveal trailer), but we can only hope that Blue and Yellow Yoshi are also coming (I mean, the Pipe got the full color set, so why not Yoshi too?).

Also, tornado guys shown here are different than tornado guys shown in the trailer...

EDIT: This particular tornado guy was already shown in the 3D world theme (link).

Nice, Sky Theme means we'll probably get the Athletic songs

And a new Athletic song for the SMB style
Speaking of music, i'm really hoping that we get some sort of "stage mix" of the Forest of Illusion theme for the SMW Forest Theme (though it obviously needs the Mario World theme mixed in there somewhere to stay game-accurate).

Really, i'm just excited to hear the new Mario 3 / World tracks and the new Edit Themes (assuming those return).

Either they reused the underwater groundtile for the forest theme groundtile or more likely placing ground beneath the water level automatically swaps the groundtile style. However, that means there will probably no dynamic water settings. Only static.

Oh shit, is that saying that the Wii U stages are coming over?! CaptainMatilder

Probably not.
