"Super Mario Maker 2" supports up to four players and features a short story campaign. The main focus of the game is creating your own "Super Mario" stages and checking out what other people have made online. The original "Super Mario Maker" on Wii U also included Link, but he was only a playable costume. Link's unique items in "Super Mario Maker 2" will give players new ways to solve puzzles, and will likely inspire some wonderfully creative levels from diehard "Zelda" fans.
