Current Events > Mario Maker 1 >>> Mario Maker 2 as a viewer

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've watched plenty of people playing both

While most of the changes they made were good ones, Mario Maker 1 is MUCH MUCH more interesting as a viewer.

I forgot Mario maker existed

wow, cool, tell me more

I wanted to say Mario Maker 1 > Mario Maker 2 but if you had to buy one game Mario Maker 2 is the obvious choice so it's hard to put it into words

MM1 is still better tho

I wish they would bring back that Mario 35 game. Shit was so much fun

The types of levels you find in MM1 (yes 100 Mario) you won't find in MM2. Also the added modes in MM2 kinda suck for various reasons. You didn't mention Super Worlds which is an amazing idea but in practice it's interesting for like a day. Possibly the biggest reason is if you run out of lives nothing happens so it doesn't actually allow you to "create your own Mario game"

Only shitty change they made was can no longer hold items while spin jumping.

Removal of costumes kinda sucks but can live without it. Weird mushroom needs to come back as a separate powerup tree so you can have a weird mushroom and if you have a progressive fire flower it's a weird fire flower.

I miss the costumes you could unlock in MM1, as well as some of the visual effects they had like the rave party (which didn't return in 2).

I vfx are the worst part of the game and I wouldn't mind if they got rid of more of them.

MM2 would have been way better if there was an intuitive way to find and play worlds that didn't suck

MM1 has literal impossible levels you can never beat anymore because they took out the phantom jump.

I also miss how you could download levels and edit them on your own so you can see how they were made. I hate how 2 doesn't let you edit downloaded levels

what's the difference as a viewer?

I've really only watched MM2 and I enjoy it. Can't imagine going backwards would be better for me.

Bomb Kaizo

the only real big issue for viewers is that they made leto levels way worse by making the spike trap and muncher hitboxes a lot bigger for no reason

nobody actually gave a shit about spinning when holding objects. seeing aurateur rage in vs or lose his patience with idiots in coop are classic experiences that only mario maker 2 has

The connection is so bad it doesn't matter how good the multiplayer modes could be, they aren't

Is Co-Op still laggy as fuck, or did they fix that?

Spinning while holding objects is directly from SMW, it was a stupid thing to remove.

Kaizo levels get boring af real quick

Here's an example I thought of.

They removed overlay pipes from Mario Maker 2, which is a benefit to the player from a gameplay perspective. But they add to the charm of Mario Maker 1 and honestly help to make 100 Mario Super Expert as great a mode as it is. People complain about 100 Mario being removed from MM2, but honestly if you just added it to MM2 with no other changes it would be incredibly easy and not nearly as interesting as MM1's mode. MM1's levels have a charm that MM2 levels cannot match.

Watching hot garbage levels is the best part and MM1 is far better at that than MM2 is. I guess they just don't show up as often in MM2 because they get boo'd out of rotation.

Panga gets mostly hot garbage on his no skips runs. There's definitely no shortage of hot garbage.
