Can you Remake Super Mario Bros 2 in Super Mario Maker 2? 

If you'd like to try out the levels for yourself, the code is 8N4-T08-TGG. Good luck! Feel free to send me updates to bosses I could do on Twitter as I would like to make the most authentic version of Super Mario Bros 2 as I can.

At least I’m not the only person using clouds as a unit of measurement

You know eventually you’re gonna remake Super Mario 64

Imagine if we eventually get a Super Mario Maker game where it’s possible to completely recreate every single past 2D Mario game

Rest of the world: uses metric system America: “it was 19 clouds.”

This just in: Crazed nerd freeboots 30-year-old NES game

Here's a tip for anyone wanting to recreate the potion item: the P-Switch, when hit while you have the SMB2 Mushroom plays the same sub-area music.

Chain chomp stumps would’ve been perfect for the turnips. Just stuff a cloud block so when you pick up the stump you don’t fall.

2:20 “I have limited options and this seemed like the best one” Goombrats: Oh he hasn’t noticed me

you can grab enemies through semisolids, so you you can use something else for turnips and won't have holes that player can fall through

I feel like a lot of the donut platforms can be replaced with bridges or mushroom platforms

One: use goombas for shy guys because they don't have shells. Two: here's how to make a vegetable: S= semisolid B= blooper G= ground M= muncher N= nothing S B S NMN NGN Three: UsE OnEwAyS fOr TwO lOnG sEmIsOlIdS Four: use cannons for "lift generators" Five: use the vertical sub-area for the vertical part in 1-1 For the key doors that require a pipe, just put the door in the ground/sky and a pipe very close to it. Eight: put hammer bros on tracks Nine: I cant belief you used doughnuts for DESERT BLOCKS but not quicksand. Ten: put the pipes in the ground. Eleven: use bridges for clouds. Twelve: just use the switch online emulator. I will be editing this later on

6:15 Bandy: “These doors are ways in to the pot level’s” Pipe: Am I a joke to you!?

I know this is dead, but it will still live in our hearts... This is striving for originality.

Alternate title: Me staying up for 50 hours remaking the entire game

For most of the clouds, you could've used semi-solids instead of donut blocks.

The shy guy could just be goomba and goombrats and it would be perfect

Watching this just further cements the point that Mario 2 should’ve been its own theme

1:20 somebody made it so that the turnips are actually bloopers on a muncher under a semisolid

I'm surprised that you didn't use bridges for the platforms that you could pass over. Also, there are a handful of levels where tracks could help, like that flying bird could be lakitus on clouds that either throw bombs or something like coins or even SMB2 mushrooms

7:23 Cheep Cheeps and tracks : Are we a joke to you?

Bandy: “You can only stomp Boom Boom with normal Mario.” Also Bandy: *shows SMB2 Mario stomping Boom Boom*

“19 clouds” Americans will use anything but the metric system

I love how he's like i can't replicate the exact thing. Me: impressed he even took the time to make this.

"I'm going to use koopas as shy guys"goombas and goombrats:'_'

2:20 "I had limited options to work with and this seemed like the best choice" Goombrat: Am I a joke to you?

Idea: I haven’t seen the whole video but can’t you just make every level clear condition “don’t get hit”?

Ideas (I know this video is over a year old, but you can use them in your recreations) (also reply if u have any other ideas or opinions on mine): instead of koopas, use goombas and goombrats for the shyguys, so they have no shells in the end. for the turnips, use a blooper on top of a muncher, blaster, etc, and place a semisolid so you cannot fall in, but can pick up the blooper and use it as a turnip. it’s looks and works very similarly! replace the potions that summon doors with something to store a key, and put a key door nearby. in the door, instantly activate a p-switch, and use a setup with p-blocks to force you to go back into the level whenever the switch expires. Replace the falling logs in 1-1 with big fish bones falling from pipes at the top of the screen (best recreation that I could think of) For that flying bird thing in 6-2 (forgot name) that’s kind of like a flying buzzy beetle, just use a hard block on tracks (wow)

“I have to use Koopa Troopas as Shy Guys”: Goombas/Goombrats: Am I a joke to you?

When he doesn’t recreate clouds with clouds

To make turnips-1.place a cloud somewhere in the ground2.put a muncher on top of the cloud block3.place a blooper on top of the muncher. Note: the blooper stays still on the muncher since the muncher is the only enemy that doesn't move. You can pick it up, and it damages enemies too.

Others solved the turnup problem by making a blooper on a track and have a chainchomp post to hold it, so you can grab it but not raise up that much or get hit.

Bandy: I had no way to recreate the quicksand Donut blocks: am I a joke to you

NB: i had to use green and red koopas for the shy guys goombas and goombrats: are we a joke to you

Nathaniel in Mario maker triggered: why are there so many 1-1 remakes? This is a game about creativity! Nathaniel now: Entire SMB2

That's really cool seeing you did this for one of my favorite games! I still wish they had just added SMB2 as its own style, it's a really great game and it would've been perfect next to Super Mario 3D World in the extra game styles! Why not? Also I notice you used some Paper Mario Color Splash music! The nostalgia when hearing it is real, I love that game so much!!

Finally a super world that Is actually Worth playing And it’s also made by Nathaniel bandy so you know that the levels will be good

15:56 you can use two stacked giant goombas with a cannon on it When you step on a giant goomba, it splits into two, meaning if you put two giant goombas, it splits into four

Super Mario Brothers 2 is one of my favorite Mario games so I thought it was really cool that you did that you did a really good job good the enemies look really good and how you made them act about the same that's awesome

Great job! You put so much work into this

I've already recreated SMB2 in SMM2 when it came out, in the SMW game style. Some of the solutions you had for some issues were overly complicated and could be fixed much easier. 1) 1-1 and many levels on SMB2 have multiple sub-areas and you dealt with this in a very weird way. On 1-1 you put the first vertical area in the sub-area which is exactly what I did, but when it came to the second vertical sub-area, you should've just put it in the sub-area as well rather than doing what you did. Sure it would've been a night theme or the first vertical area would've been a day theme, but when recreating Nintendo-made Mario levels, you should always prioritize functionality over aesthetics. As for the underground area in 1-1, a simple fix would've just been to create that area with a semi-solid background rather than putting it in the sub-area. I usually did this as it works quite well and functions almost identical to the base game with the doors. 2) On turnips, you discovered that is no good way to implement them, and I had the same issue as well. I couldn't find, and still haven't found, a solution to this problem. You used clouds as turnips, but in this case, it would've been better just not to include them. Clouds add platforms to your recreations that didn't exist in the original and don't serve any purpose and do a poor job at recreating the functionality of the turnips. I just used the 1x1 background elements to recreate the look of the turnips, without affecting gameplay. In areas covered by a semi-solid, I used a one unit tall vine coming out of the ground to replicate the look. 3) You used koopas as shy guys because their properties were similar in how they move, but goombas and goombuds would've been a better choice. They move the exact same way as koopas and shy guys, but throwing them with thee SMB2 mushroom behaves exactly like throwing a shy guy, whereas throwing a Koopa is like kicking its shell. I noticed other weird enemy choices that'll let get to further in this comment. 4) Hidden blocks work great for mushrooms and I did use them originally, but players who haven't played SMB2 wouldn't know where they are, which is a big issue. Along with not all mushrooms being easily implemented this way do to location, I don't think that was the best way to go about doing that. I resorted to putting the mushrooms on tracks, as it kept them in place, like in the original game, while allowing new players to see and easily access them. 5) You could put a star on a track going upwards after every five coins to replicate the original game. I've seen a lot of people do this, although I haven't because it is hard to replicate on all stages. 6) Shellmets could be used instead of shell turnips, but keep in mind players can put them on if you do use them. 7) I found that replicated Birdo was too much trouble and just used Larry as the basic Birdo, and later Iggy for the harder Birdos. If you can find a better solution though, go for it. 8) One thing to keep in mind when recreating SMB2 levels is that not all ninjis behave the same. Some of them jump up and down, while some of them behave almost identically to monty moles. Figuring out which ones did what was really annoying. 9) Pipes work much better as pots than doors, even if they are too big. If there is already a sub-area, you can use scroll stops to make it feel like the pots are contained. 10) Remaking the underground area in 1-2 in the overworld with semi-solid backgrounds fixes the key issue. 11) Using the cursed key as a "hard mode" doesn't really sit well with me as it doesn't replicate the original game well. There are definitely ways to make the keys work in every level they appear in without needing to do this. 12) I hate how you recreated trouters as there is an incredibly easy fix for it that I'm really surprised you didn't think of. Winged cheep-cheeps on tracks works perfectly for recreating trouters. Your solution is overly complicated. 13) Keys work great as a crystal ball with the eagle door being a key door. If I remember correctly, there are one or two levels I couldn't get this to work on, but usually, it works great. 14) For a lot of the castle levels, I found it a lot easier to separate the outside areas and the castle areas into two different levels. I think this works fine in my opinion. 15) Cobrats can be recreated using a rocky wrench stacked on top of a monty mole. The monty mole pops out of the ground and moves similarly to the cobrat and the rocky wrench throws wrenches like how the cobrats spits projectiles. 16) The desert bone semi-solids are a great alternative to the bone platforms in SMB2. The only issue is that they are semi-solid, whereas the bone platforms are not, but this doesn't really affect gameplay as the bone platforms aren't placed anywhere where that would matter. 17) I'm noticing a lot of problems that could be fixed by recreating underground areas in SMB2 with semi-solids in the overworld in SMM2. From now on I'm not going to mention it, but just keep that in mind. 18) I feel like you made 3-2 too easy. This was a hard level in the original game as well, but you couldn't skip areas or damage boost if it was too hard, you just had to do it. Giving players the chance to damage boost and rewarding them with a powerup for it is bad level design in any level. 19) The rocket bonsai bill is incredibly creative and gave me a good laugh! I'm pretty mad I didn't think of that first. Haha! 20) For the autobomb, I stacked a red bullet bill launcher with a podoboo inside ontop of a monty mole. Any autobomb that was ridden by a shy guy just had a goomba on top. This is one unit too tall, but any problems that came because of this were easily fixed. 21) Used parabeetles as albatoss and just placed a bob-omb under them to recreate the enemy. I think this works better than Lakitu. 22) Parabeetles work perfectly as albatoss in 6-2 as the behave almost identically. To make the parabeetle fly to the right instead of the left, I just put a bullet bill launcher that would launch them in the right direction. Parabeetles also work great, because you can stand on them whether or not you are SMB2 Mario. 23) I can absolutely agree that recreating 7-2 is an extreme challenge. I didn't even think it was possible before I did it. From what I can tell, your recreation of 7-2 is awesome. Other than the naked pipes of course; definitely fix that. 24) On an aesthetic note, you use clouds way too much, and when clouds should be used, you don't use them. That's the main issue, but there's definitely a lot of ways you could improve the look of your levels and make them look more like the original. Overall, it is a good recreation, but there is a lot of things that should be changed and a lot of weird choices you made when recreating these levels. I think you said you weren't a level creator, and if that's true, this is really good. I'd love to see an updated version of these levels with some of the issues fixed. If you need examples, my creator code is 80X-VJD-FGF. All of the SMB2 levels are there. Keep in mind I made them when SMM2 came out. I do have updated versions of them, but I am still debating whether or not to upload them.

“Stacking a Monty mole on top of a Koopa” He says as it shows a Koopa on top of a Monty mole

Excellent job, I'm so proud of people with vision like this!

For the turnips, you can use Goombas under a semi-solid, and in some themes, the semi-solids can match the top layer of the ground

10:54 “They don’t hurt Birdo” Bowser Jr: *“Say that again; I DARE you...”*

I like how you said “but you HAVE to throw the cannon balls at bowser jr.” and then proceeded to step on him with ease

12:50 Nathaniel: Monty Mole on top of a koopa Me: It's the other way around, Nathaniel.

I remember while ago I almost completed recreating SMB2 in SMM2 I abandoned it but I'm thinking of going onto SMM2 and finishing. Instead of just cramming in big stages into one level, my solution was to just split them into two levels. Only the castles did this, as the normal levels could fit in SMM2. I haven't gotten to that part, but I remember that the final castle would have to be split into three parts, which, lucky day, the last world of smb2 only has three levels instead of 4, so i can fit three parts.

I Have A Idea For The Secret Door: Use P Switch Doors

I thought this weeks episode was Paper Mario Maker.

You made this really good!

1:39 put a semisolid over a blooper stacked on a muncher. For shy guys, you should've used goombas for red ones and goombrats for pink ones.

Next video: is it possible to remake Mario maker 2 in Mario maker 2?

Cloud Blocks: *You can’t defeat us* SMB1 Mario: *I know, but he can* (Points at SMB2 Mario)

Nathaniel: 'I'm acually realy happy with my veryations of birdo" also Nathaniel: places down bowser

You could have used bloopers on top of munchers with a semi solid so there’s no hole and you can still grab the bloopers for the turnips

"I copy the cloud"... You know Photoshop as a grid tool...

You know quarantine is real when it says "6 seconds ago"

If Mario Maker 3 would come out, I wanna see Super Mario Bros 2 as a part of extra game styles and Wonder as a part of normal. I don't think they will add Mario Bros 2, but maybe Wonder will be a new game style.

awesome video bro and awesome job recreating the maps!!

7:50 ya know you could of easily just put a cheep cheep with wings on the track...

Andre from GameXplain came up with a few solutions for some of the issues you had. For example, he used Dry Bones for the turnips and put a donut block behind them so the hole is less of an issue, and he used a P-switch for the potions/secret doors.

An idea for the turnips: Makeup Buzzy Beetle on the track as the turnips and throw them

Would it make more sense for the shy guys be goombas and goombrats for if you don’t want them to falll off

1:40 You can see them die painfully

2:08 WDYM?! When you have this power literally Goombrats act the same exact way as the pink Shyguys and and Goombas act the same as the red Shyguys!! No shell involved!!!

I personally feel like a Buzzy Beetle on a track would be better for the turnip things because it doesn’t leave a hole in the ground and it still has a use

If amazing flying hammer bro was here. The fry guy would have been so simple

14:20 Just in case anyone was wondering, that music is from a game called “VVVVVV”.

8:17 OHHHHHH... I *always* thought those were cupcakes. I got the GBA version when I was about 8 and they always looked like cupcakes to me. Mushrooms make more sense.

15:55 Use a big Goomba, and if you hit the big goomba, it will split into 2 pieces. (If you'd like, you can use 2 big Goombas because Fry Guy splits into 4 pieces.)

“There’s no way to make lift generators” Meanwhile donut blocks, which are exactly like the logs:

2:23 goomba’s and goombrat’s: are we a joke to you?

I salute this. SMB2 is my first Mario game when I was 3. And 30 years later, it's still one of my favorites. If I may make a suggestion, how about adding a cannon for the Auto Bomb enemies? That would make them different from the Shy Guys riding the Ostros.

4:00 Wasn’t that an alternate path to the boss?

In this Video we are both using the same Hoodie and Rocket legs. Also very cool that you actually made Smb2.

For the Wart fight, I would make an on/off contraption with on/off blocks, where it would turn on, then off rapidly, so that you could hit him with the cannon ball when he's vulnerable.

Hey, just to let you know, you could've done the falling logs in 1-1 by putting a thwomp at the top of the screen and put donut blocks underneath him, then the donut blocks will fall and respawn as well. If the thwomp manages to kill the player, try putting 1-way tracks so the thwomp won't escape.

For the mushroom blocks, do kinda the same thing as mayro. Put a chained chomp on top of a bob-omb. The stump will fall on to the bob-omb causing it to explode, and kill the chain chomp. You are left with the stump.

Mario Bros 2 oh boy that brings me back.....

A tip on planning levels by using clouds as a guide - I can't speak to Photoshop, but I know in Gimp (free program, poor man's Photoshop) you can see an image to have a grid with the lines a specific length and height apart. Set them to the size of the Mario 2 tiles, find one tile to move into place so it all matches the grid, and presto.

Nathaniel Bandy: "I added spike barriers so you couldn't cheese the level." SMG4's Mario: "MAMA F***ER!!! COME BACK HERE YOU FOOL!!!!!!!!!!"

Bandy: Because their properties are very similar. The red shy guys fall off platforms like the green koopas, and the pink shy guys stay on platforms like the red koopas. Me: Red Shy Guys fall and Red Koopas fall, and then Pink Shy Guys but no Green Shy Guys, are this is just confusing!

12:51 “ stacking a *monty mole on top of a koopa* “

GameXplain - remakes 1 smb2 level Nathaniel - That's cute

9:53 there are fire bros, but they're exclusive to sm3dw

16:35 For the albatross, I would use claws holding bob-ombs along a track

In Super Mario Maker 1 when I remade the first level I used the background flowers as the turnips and they indicated there was a hidden block above them. For the warp zones there was a vine inside the hidden block which lead to the pipe at the top. To keep the mushroom from moving I put 1 way walls to keep it in the same place. I used koopas as shy guys because you can use them as projectiles. For the ninjis I put koopas on tracks. The cherries were qustion blocks with the third containing a star. The vases were pipes. For the bombs I put lit Bob-ombs in the hidden blocks. Bowser Jr. in the clown cart was birdo, because he throws shells. I put one way walls to keep him from moving. The Doors had to be pipes because they take you to the other zone. The Lady bugs were lava bubbles on tracks. The warp zone coins were pink coins. The logs were lifts that go down, curve up and go back to the top. And 2,306th comment.

Nathaniel: “So I decided to save Bowser Jr. for when Birdo does spit fire!” Me who never beat the second level in SMB2: The. . . WHAT?”

Alright... you did a lot of things wrong. First, goombas and galoombas can be used as shy guys. Second, a specific setup involving chain chomps, bob-ombs, and tracks allows you to pick up chain chomp posts and have a filled spot. Third... well, that’s basically it. Either way, good job.

I have an idea to use a replacements of turnips: Make the theme snow, make the ground something unbreakable (not the origional ground), then place the normal ground in the place that is where the turnips are so you can make snowballs as a replacement.

7:17 How was the lava bubble not even the first choice?!? EDIT: Well I'm a moron.

video title:"Can you recreate SMB2?" Video: *20 minutes of "no"*

Idea: how about you use large cannons a couple blocks above the lift spawning areas to make the regenerating lift in ache stages where you think it won’t break the authenticity, that way you can still jump on 2 block large “platforms” as they move down

For the Auto Bombs, you couldve stacked a Bullet Bill blaster with Bob-Ombs inside on top of a Monty Mole with a Koopa on the very top.

7:20 JUST USE THE LAVA BUBBLE

This looks amazing! I really love levels based off older levels from other games I really love your videos

I have 2 tips: For the turnips, use this contraption; place a block, then a piranha plant, and a blooper on top, All under a semisolid or bridge, and maybe put a track to indicate. (Use the jungle theme for the semisolids) Secondly, instead of koopas for the shy guy, use goombas as the red shyguys, and galoombas for the pink shyguys. Overall, I absolutely love these videos. Thanks for the Entertaiment!

But... Why not just put a Semisolid above the turnips? Then you can grab the item, then not step into the hole.

A lot of work put into these levels. You’re amazing Nathaniel Bandy!
