Super Mario Maker 2:
The Super Mario Maker 2 Invitational will kick off at 2 pm ET so be careful as there may be a clash between Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Maker 2. The tournament format is as follows:
Players will take on a variety of original courses designed by Nintendo’s Tree house.
Round One
The four players will each compete in timed speed runs.
Round Two
Players will split into teams of two and work together to complete the course. The winning team will move onto the Finals.
Finals
The remaining two players will face off in three objective-based mini-courses and one final course to determine the champion.
The full rule set for Mario Maker 2 can be found here
Nintendo states that 4 members of the Super Mario Maker community will attempt these courses. They have told us to stay tuned for more information so I assume we will find out who the participants are in the coming days
I can most certainly not wait any longer for E3. I am especially excited to hopefully see some Animal Crossing gameplay and a few other games. Are you excited for this tournament? Leave your thoughts below. What game are you most excited to hopefully see at E3?
