10 Video Game Multiplayer Modes That Let You Break Everything
8. Super Mario Maker - Who The Heck Designed These Levels?
Super Mario,
you might think, is one of the most charming, innocent and family friendly
franchises in gaming. It’s Nintendo’s main man, after all.
In reality, Mario games can be a real nightmare when it comes to multiplayer modes. With that in mind, the first we’re going to take a look at is the relatively new Mario Maker series.
In these Wii U and Nintendo Switch outings, the player is given an intuitive set of tools, a simple interface and free rein to make their own levels. Needless to say, the resulting stages have been a mixed bag.
Some have created elaborate themed levels, designed to resemble Zelda dungeons and the like. Accessible as the level creation options are, a lot of very impressive things can be done with them.
