It’s a tribute to Nintendo: A fan has created a completely new Mario game with Super Mario Maker 2 and it’s now released.
7 years of hard work are finally paying off. On Twitter, Metroid Mike 64 announced the release of his gigantic Super Mario project: A complete new Mario game created with Super Mario Maker 2. A result that is already described as a “classic Mario experience”.
Since 2015, Metroid Mike 64 has been working on the project, which started with the first part of Super Mario Maker on Wii U. The now-finished game is unofficially titled “Super Mario Bro 5”, and Mike’s goal was to create a Mario game that felt like it came straight from Nintendo.
When Super Mario Maker 2 came out for the Switch, he invested a lot of time importing his creations block-for-block into the new installment. The World Maker update for Super Mario Maker 2 finally made it possible to combine multiple levels into entire games. Even the familiar world maps to get from level to level could now be incorporated and used. For Metroid Mike 64, this was the breakthrough and his “dream became a reality”.
What the New Mario Game looks like
With the help of Nintendo’s World Maker update, Metroid Mike 64 managed to create 40 Parcours in 8 worlds. These even have different styles. So 24 of the levels can be played in Super Mario World style, 14 in Super Mario Bros 3 style, and 2 levels in Super Mario Bros fashion. The lovingly designed Mario game also includes puzzle courses as well as branching world maps and 7 Koopalings as end bosses.
At the same time, the creator emphasized that he absolutely doesn’t intend to troll with this game, but it is his goal to release a classic Mario game, which should reflect the NES/SNES 2D Mario vibe and that the game is also targeted at fans of this era.
This Super World features 40 full courses spread across 8 worlds. 24 courses from Super Mario World, 14 from SMB3 and 2 courses from SMB. There are no courses from NSMBU or SM3DW, only the classics. So if NES/SNES 2D Mario is your jam, this game is for you. pic.twitter.com/y1hFPXhRW5

The new unofficial title is already being hyped by the community as “Classic Mario” and has received incredibly good feedback. With more than 25.000 likes and nearly 4.000 retweets, the announcement of Metroid Mike 64 received enormous attention. The community is really amazed over the complete Mario title created in Super Mario Maker 2.
So I urge you to dust off your copy of Super Mario Maker 2 and try out my Super World. I’ve poured lots of blood, sweat and tears into this over the past 7 years. I hope you enjoy this game as much as I have.
