Remember the infamous Angry Sun from Super Mario Bros. 3? Well, it's making a comeback in Super Mario Maker 2. This time, though, it will be joined by its friend: the Moon!
The Moon course part is tied to the various themes within the game. In addition to all of the existing themes from the first Super Mario Maker game on the Wii U, there'll now be desert, snow, forest and sky templates to select from. Using the Moon course part allows you to unlock the "night versions" for each of the themes and if you make contact with the Moon during a playthrough, you'll wipe out all of the enemies on the screen.
When swapping a level to night mode, wild things happen. Expect floating Goombas, dimmed lighting in ghost houses and sandstorms in the desert levels. Items can even transform in the dark, so watch out for rotten mushrooms and poison water! To top it off, veteran Super Mario composer Koji Kondo has recorded new music for these themes.
Do you like the idea of night time levels in Super Mario Maker 2? Sound off in the comments below.

I LOVE the moon concept. Night time level changes are pretty nice. Really mixes things up.
I'm starting to like all the new stuff being revealed about this game.
I'm over the MOON for this game!!!
Well I'm glad Eric is in this game...
(dorkly reference)
Love it, the night courses look fantastic. My favourite additions are Night Theme,Multiplayer and best of all the Koopa Car. Cannot wait!
I kinda wish you could just mix & match. Like have the night theme without any of the special effects, or be able to have the low gravity effect or poisonous water without being tied to the night background.
It's something you can work around for sure, but at the same time it just feels limiting, same with music tracks still being tied to their respective theme.
The empty space next to the Super Mario 3D World theme looks suspicious. New theme to be revealed at E3 or perhaps as free DLC later in the year?
My money is on a Mario Galaxy theme.
SO. MUCH. HYPE. TOO. MUCH. TIME. LEFT. TILL. RELEASE.
YOU TAKE THE MOON AND YOU TAKE THE MOON AND YOU TAKE THE MOON... Well, everybody gets the moon
I predict this game is going to do well.
hopefully Nintendo will add an option to make it so that the levels can go back and forth between day and night while the user is exploring the course.
nintendo also needs to make it so that we can mix and match themes. imagine super mario world theme with super mario 3D world items and enimies or vice versa.
@OorWullie good find. Hope it’s that. The star background and gravity mechanics will go with it
This game is going to sell like Super Smash Brothers Ultimate and Mario Kart 8.
Hmmmmm....
@1UP_MARIO Yep, I was thinking the same about the night theme. I'm now thinking it might be Odyssey though, as all the other styles are in order of release. Galaxy wouldn't look right sitting after 3D World, although that can be easily changed. If it is to be Odyssey, I reckon T-Rex will make an appearance.
M'kay, now I'm more interested. This mechanic seems pretty solid!
This looks great. Though I am sad that they still haven’t shown off Mario in a Hammer Bro, or Frog suit. GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!
We can zoom all the way to the moon... Hmmm now all the pieces are in place.
That's cool and all, but I'd like to be able to turn off night effects, too.
Day one buy indeed.
@OorWullie
I thought the exact same thing when I saw that empty space.
Odyssey theme or Galaxy theme. One or the other.
I'm just hyped for all the new music! The stuff we heard in the trailer was already super great to listen to!
@Alundra-1998 my imagination is going nuts.need sleep and wake up and think about it. plus my girlfriend not kicking my ass for falling asleep on sofa again.😂😢 wish me luck
I'm just excited to be able to use the Super Mario World night theme now. So hyped for this game!
I honestly thought this was a power moon when I first saw it 😂
I'd love to have super Mario Land as a theme. I hope it's complete with shootem up levels, all the music, the Egyptian level theme, etc. Having Yoshi's Island would be the icing on the cake though. That game has such awesome graphics and music! Oh, wouldn't it be cool if they included Super Princess Peach as a theme?! That was a fun game with unique gameplay elements.
Honestly if they'd simply have ported the first game to switch i would have been happy. But they truly have gone above and beyond to make this as complete as possible! This is incredible!
The 'other game styles' part seems to be plural, indicating that there is room for other styles to come. The fact that 3D World has its own mechanics and objects perhaps may also indicate that we could get some crazy new exclusive styles, maybe not even mario games. I could see them adding NES Kirby or other nintendo based games for example.
That night theme really made me smile last night, I couldn’t wait to show my son this morning.
Why does this remind me of "Stellar Fox?"
A surprise that Koji Kondo is on the job again. I thought he had more and more a advisory role, but it seems he's finally back on the job.
