I’ve been watching a lot of Super Mario Maker videos this past month. Probably a hundred hours! This game is like a world onto itself, and it was fascinating to learn its design language and patterns.

With Super Mario Maker 2 coming out soon, I thought I’d show off some of the cool stuff I’ve seen, to celebrate Mario Maker.

We’ll start with some basic elements of Mario Maker (with screenshots), and then move on to a lot of video clips showing cool stuff.
