If you're a fan of the indie title Downwell and happen to own a copy of Super Mario Maker 2, you might want to take a look at the above video.
YouTube channel Boomstick Gaming has recreated the excellent vertical platforming roguelike rather accurately within Nintendo's Mario-themed course creator. Just like the real game, the objective is to make it to the bottom, while attempting to get the highest score possible. This version even has a built-in easy setting – allowing you to have a practice run.
If you would like to try out this course for yourself, the code is 2KH-BN0-7VG. Be sure to check out the Nintendo Life Super Mario Maker 2 Course Search as well. And if you're interested in playing Downwell, you can purchase it from the Switch eShop for $2.99 / £2.69.

Okay, that is by far the most clever recreation of another game I have seen so far. Bravo to him for the EZ mode addition.
@Paraka This is why mario maker is so good. It's nice seeing people stretch their imaginations like this.
Wow that is clever. Its closer to the sort of thing I'd expect to see in LittleBigPlanet, nor SMM2.
People can be so clever. This is really cool.
Hope he doesn't get plagiarized...
@Quarth Or if he does I hope it's an improvement!
I’ll be downloading this one. I love both games
Somebody beat me to the punch, although I'm not sure if I could pull it off..... nice!
Looks great!
I don’t have the game YET so does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of courses you can download?
Upload limit is 32 but I really hope dl is not as limited.
This is amazing!!! Wow
now I played all the "modes".. this game is a BLAST! finished the story mode beating all levels, played the couch co-op, downloaded some of the bests levels and played the competitive.. what a game, ,serious... ill download this lvl 2night! eager to play
I love Downwell - but maybe I can actually finish this version. I'm assuming it's not random generation like the original – so the course can be memorized with repeat play?
yes, but doesn't really feel like the real mario game though. almost a shooter but only with jumps on enemy to kill.
I love this, but I'm still pissed that Downwell has been removed from the Play Store and nobody knows why...

@mistertom That's the main reason I gave up on mobile gaming – neither iOS or Android respect your purchase long term.
I've had total classics disappear time and time again due to Apple/Google updates. It's a highly flawed system for gamers. Never again – I'm done with wasting money on those systems for games.
The Switch will become my future 'legacy' machine for returning to games I love.
Just beat Downwell yesterday, after playing it for months. I plan to buy Mario Maker 2 soon, so this pece of news sounds neat!
Love Downwell and MM2, definitely downloading this tomorrow once I'm off work! This looks absolutely incredible!
Very cool. I am very bad at Downwell by the way.
