Nope, Reddit sleuths figured out that the article is just speculation based on the trailer, nothing new or official.
It's pretty much like if the GameXplain analysis was printed in a magazine.

Super Mario Maker 2 launching June 28th

It's pretty much like if the GameXplain analysis was printed in a magazine.
The reveal trailer already showed us that the water level is dynamic, though we don't know how much control we'll have over it.
Really curious about the new music this time, with so many new themes.
And I'm also wondering about the night theme for the original SMB, because it was a bit bland. Maybe they'll add some stars and different shades like the SNES version?
At the very least I could expect them to use grey or blue instead of pitch-black, because the way it is now you can't get the "prop shadow" effect with it.
But I can imagine that it will be confusing at first now that we are going to have several playable characters.

I hope they don't drop it. It would be a great way to keep adding content, and they have all those sprites from the other game. They'd have to do sprites for the amiibo that came after, yes, but it would be a good way to sell the remaining things to switch owners.

You know, I just realised that this game has a Desert Theme but we still don't have Pokey. They were in 3/5 of the games in SMM2 (well, it was a variant in 3D World but i'll still count it) so I don't think it would be too much to ask for them to be added.

Ah damn its a magazine. Might still need to grid out my old creations then lol
I know it'll probably have its own song, but I'd love if the SMB Athletic theme was this
Pokeys also have the SMB2 sprite they can steal for the SMB3 style
Just saw the Nintendo life latest vid, was about to post about it until I searched & found this thread.

Well since the sky was used for bonus areas in SMB, they could make a SMAS reference and use this:
I actually made a level with a bonus area, which played this using SMM's convoluted music maker.
But then they would have a lot of new level elements for the Airship Theme.I don't think we can assume a Sky Theme, the backdrop is the exact same as Airship
I would be fine with it, but it would be really unlikely. They properly wanted a Sky Theme with different assets and music (since you properly can't change the music). If you wanted to make a Sky level before, you always had the threatening Airship Theme in the background. That would not fit well with the rainbows ...
Since they sky is just the sky, they just didn't change the background.
Mario World has its own sky background that seems like they'd use for the Sky theme
Speaking of music, it would be amazing if this had something like my music in Smash. It doesn't have to be 900 tracks but a variety of older tracks would be amazing, there's a bunch of stuff to pull from, like the Galaxy games, or 3D Land.
If they have more stage elements and maybe different music, i would be happy too. Otherwise the Airship Theme and the rainbows would feel weird.Mario World has its own sky background that seems like they'd use for the Sky theme
I can't believe this is less than 2 months out and we've only seen a couple minutes of footage. Give me more info, Nintendo!
Try telling that to Animal Crossing fans.
Or Fire Emblem fans before E3 2018
Smash Ultimate had to wait 3 months as well before they got any actual footage.
It's not that bad all honestly lol. We'll get a blow out near release.
What I am concerned about is the amiibo logo not showing up at all. Usually in posters the amiibo logo would be next to the age rating and price. Also I CAN see it being sorta confusing, but as long as the sprites follow the NES pattern it shouldn't be too bad.
Maybe the SMW airship theme is now in a stormy cloud like in All Stars?
As far as mystery costumes go, they could drop the amiibo compatibility since there are many non-Amiibo costumes and it probably would be harder to support all available amiibo this time due to more third party characters with Amiibo thanks to Smash. Hopefully they won't drop the costumes though, but I've been fearing that since the 3ds game...

If there's really going to be 4 player, you'd need 4 different re-colors of each costume, so I think it'll be either multiplayer or costumes, but not both.
Anybody with good Japanese knowledge can translate this, please? :)
Saw a lot of talk of it on the subreddit and it seemed it was all just a trailer summary mixed with some speculation relating SMM 1 to SMM 2. Was nothing new as far as I saw.
Or they could just give a random costume to the other players even if the stage creator had a set costume if it clashes with another active costume.

I don't think costumes are coming back, although that begs the question of what reward doing 100 Mario runs would give, since costumes were the big reward for that mode.
With Toadette seemingly being playable, I could see unlockable characters for all modes become a thing, and being added as free DLC over time like the event costumes in SMM1.
They couldn't do anything too crazy but I could see Luigi, various colors of Toad, and Toadette being unlockable in the base-game. Maaaybe Peach and Rosalina too, if they want to lean into giving them each different abilities on top of power-ups, a la SM3DW.
It'd take a lot of work to get them all modelled/sprited but it'd be more fun than just the single theme-use Mystery Mushrooms.
So that magazine was just speculating, not giving real new information... :( too bad, I'm so hyped and Nintendo is not giving away anything lol :P
100 Mario is supposed to be played tons of times, and having 100+ costumes to unlock from it ensured a new reward every time you played
Unlockable characters wouldn't really provide the same feeling
Upon closer look, I actually do think that SMW screenshot is a sky theme. The clouds appear to be the ground tiles, and the rainbows are structured like semi-solid platforms.
They probably changed the SMW airship background to something else and are now using this for the sky theme. SMW has a ton of background styles that can be repurposed for whatever they need.

I doubt that we are getting unique character skills, the main reason being that they went Toadette over Peach. Toadette and Toad are perfect if you want the character to have the same basic abilites
They can give Toadette new abilities, and Toad has had unique abilities before.
I'd actually be surprised if the characters didn't have unique abilities. Luigi will probably slide and flutter jump, Toad runs faster, but can't jump as high and Peachette could have her abilities from NSMBU and be an easier character (and in the NSMBU style she'd turn all acorns into crowns)
Toadette only really got those abilities because of the Super Crown. Base form Toadette only had buffs to swimming and slippery ice. Other than that her performance was the same as Mario, Luigi and Toad.
It'd be super disappointing to add Luigi and then add nothing that makes Luigi unique. SMM isn't NSMBU, there's no reason to make every character the same.
Good God I hope not, unless you can restrict a level to a specific character. It's hard enough balancing a level to play well as it is, let alone accounting for different jump heights etc.
There is if they don't want people replaying stages with multiple characters in order to upload them, which would be necessary if they played differently or forcing people to play with one of those characters rather than Mario when going through their stages. Maybe if everyone always starts with Mario and change though character blocks. That way they could basically treat the characters like power ups.
I think you'll have to pick a character to be the character for the level, so there will be Luigi Levels and Toad levels, etc. And the box would let you change mid-stage for added flexibility.
Why would there even be character change boxes you could add if the characters were all the same?
If there are characters with different properties, I imagine there will be an option for the creator to restrict the level to specific characters. Likewise, there will probably also be an option to restrict levels to number of players.
I figure the only way multiple characters is even workable in Mario Maker is to restrict it to one character and not let the player of the stage choose.
If the game has multiplayer on stages, I imagine that will also be optional, since jumping on characters heads and picking them up, etc, can break stages.

I really hope, there will be different characters with different abilities.
It is also an easy way to change up levels without creating new assets. Characters spefic for Luigi could be slightly different to Mario. I would also love Nintendo to implement new characters as DLC, which play even more differently. For example include Link as seen in Link Awakening, where he jumped on Goombas and used his sword (especially with the remake around the corner). Or just have different Mario Characters like Wario, Yoshi, Daisy, Waluigi, etc.

I dunno, the modern mario sprite & that flyer (the one that had the SMBDX luigi sprite) with 8bit builder mario makes me think costumes are back. Or at least some of them, the mario & mario-adjacent ones.
you could put a smash bros-esque pointer
Both SMM & the 3DS port have "campaigns" made by nintendo but they're all (even the 3ds ones) basically "hey check out what you can do with THIS" so ymmv on how good it is
The first Mario Maker is a magical game, and I'm sure the sequel will be magical, too. I totally understand not having blind faith in the community's creative output, but I think even the most cynical players will be pleasantly surprised by how exciting and immersive many of the user-made levels can be. It's like a wellspring of neat ideas, and there were plenty of levels in MM1 that had a distinct "voice" where the designer is communicating to you by way of level design. I'd go so far as to say MM1 is my favorite 2D Mario platformer. And the possibilities in MM2 look astonishing.
I want it back but I'm not sure I can handle Weird Toad, Luigi, Toadette and possibly more...
I look forward to Mercedes Car and BABYMETAL (every reference to them is in caps on Mario wiki?) making their return to the Mario series
