News: A new update has just added a heavily requested feature to Nintendo’s latest Mario title where you can now challenge your friends.

Nintendo has revealed that a new update for Super Mario Maker 2 is now available to download for free. Once you download this new update you will have the ability to play co-op and versus multiplayer with people on your Nintendo Switch friends list. While playing with friends, you will also be able to select the difficulty in Course World and choose which courses to play from your list of locally saved courses in Coursebot.

In addition to this multiplayer update, the free software update also adds a list of Official Makers in the Leaderboards section. Here, you’ll find new courses made by Official Makers, as well as ones created for collaborations or special events, like the courses played in last summer’s Super Mario Maker 2 Invitational 2019. Other features added after downloading the update include the ability to use both touch-screen and button controls when creating courses in Handheld mode, among other upgrades to make for an even more seamless gaming experience.

In Super Mario Maker 2, you can play, create and share the side-scrolling Super Mario course of your dreams. You can dive into the new single-player story mode to gain inspiration for creating your own special courses, alone or together with a friend. With a Nintendo Switch Online membership, you can share your courses, access courses made by others, enjoy multiplayer and more.
