Gameplay

Level Editor

The level editor is quite simple, as it retains it's features from both of the previous games. The available tools and parts are contained within a wheel, like in Super Mario Maker 2. Pressing the L and R buttons will allow you to shift through each organized section by Blocks, Items, Power-Ups, Enemies, & Gizmos. The sound wheel acts the same way. The parts at your disposal change depending on which game style you're using. The 2 sidebars offer more features and customization for your level. Such as co-op building, changing the water and lava levels, extending or shortening the length of the level, and so on. Pressing the minus button will let you test your level wherever Mario is currently placed. Holding it however, will let you test the level from the very start. Pressing plus will open up the main menu, where you can switch between editors, go to CourseBot or WorldBot, go to the Course World, and so on.

Name	Description	How To Unlock
Mario	Mario is the first out of the 4 main playable characters and is the most basic out of all of them. He retains his already well-known abilities and moves, and has pretty standard stats overall. His moves and abilities change depending on if the level style is 2D or 3D.	Default
Luigi	Luigi is the second of the 4 and has the highest jump out of all of them. Like Mario, he retains his well established abilities and movesets from previous games. However, his high jumping sadly does not appear in the 2D styles all except for Super Mario 3D World and New Super Mario Bros. U. His moves and abilities change depending on if the level style is 2D or 3D.	Default
