17 Best Super Mario Maker 2 Levels: The Ultimate List

Super Mario Maker 2 is known for its level building features, which allows players to try their hand at game development. Since its release, players from all around the world have been creating new levels, each better than the former. Once a level is created, a special code is generated that lets players share their creations with others. Some players like to make fun and simple levels that pay homage to some classic Mario features, while others like to make insanely hard levels that are almost impossible to beat.

We have decided to put together a mega list of the 17 best Super Mario Maker 2 levels that you’re going to want to try out! Fair warning, some will be hard, but not all of them! Let’s get started!

The goal of the level is simply to collect enough of the red coins to unlock a hidden key. So simply sit back, relax, and explore this peaceful level.

Created by Kona, Follow the Arrow is a level where listening to instruction is key. As long follow the red arrow, you’ll be okay. However, if you decide to stray away from the arrow, you’ll likely regret it. Finding the arrow is not always going to be easy, but if you’re patient, you’ll figure out where to go!

Course ID: X0N-8QP-01H

Created by Nabuz, the Mario Joins the Army-O level will give players a glimpse of what it would be like if the Mushroom Kingdom had a mandatory military draft. This tank themed level will task Mario with surviving enemy bombs and fighters as he bravely battles to the finish. There is no doubt that Bowser is likely the attacking force. Remember folks, as Uncle Sam once said (sorta), Mario wants YOU for the Mushroom Kingdom Army.

20 Seconds: Thwomp Temple Run

Course ID: 550-JR7-WVF

Created by Bruhhhhh, the 20 Seconds: Thwomp Temple Run is no joke. Players will literally only have 20 seconds to run through this course. There will be a line of Thwomps chasing you the whole time that will at times be as close to you as possible without killing you. With only a 21% completion rate at the time of writing, not many players are up for the task, are you?

Invisible Skyway

Course ID: 40S-7LP-TNG

Created by a friend from China, the Invisible Skyway level will force players to race through the level without being able to see what is below them. While this may sound impossible at first, there is an identical course outline in the sky above that players will need to follow if they want to survive. There will even be times when you cannot see Mario, so you’ll simply have to trust your instincts and hope you calculate your jump correctly! 

Inside the Giant Tree

Toboggan Down Frozen Tubes

Rhythm Challenge: Gourmet Race

Course ID: 550-D3S-2HF

Created by RowlAEt, the Rhythm Challenge: Gourmet Race is one of the best Super Mario Maker 2 levels that I have seen. Set to the rhythm of a Kriby song, this level will bring out your musical side. It is a bit challenging, but well worth it. Completing it won’t be easy, but the feeling of satisfaction at the end is well worth it. 

Automatic Mario

Course ID: CVW-1KC-9QF

Created by a Chinese friend, the Automatic Mario level is a bit strange because the key is to stand completely still. All you need to do is to sit back and relax while the level does the work for you! However, sitting and waiting will take you over a minute, while the World Record is under 30 seconds. So, it seems there may be a way you can speed it up, can you figure it out?

Koopa Resurrection

Course ID: B9C-7XH-B0H

Created by Royal Ace, the Koopa Resurrection level all about using the Koopas to your advantage. Usually, they are trying to kill Mario, but in this level, they need Mario’s help in order to be free! Will you lend a helping hand?
