Super Mario Maker 2 is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 7,000, brand new and sealed as a physical cartridge for the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo developed and published it, and it launched worldwide on June 28, 2019. It blends a side-scrolling Mario platformer with a full course builder, plus a Story Mode of more than 100 courses made by Nintendo. You can collect Super Mario Maker 2 at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have Super Mario Maker 2 delivered to your door with pay-on-arrival.
Built for creative children, teenagers and grown-up Mario fans across Kenya, Super Mario Maker 2 turns playing into building. Many games run out of new stages after a few weeks. Super Mario Maker 2 solves that with an online library of player-made courses, reached through Nintendo Switch Online. You pick from five visual styles, from the original Super Mario Bros. to Super Mario 3D World, then place blocks, enemies and pipes wherever you like. University students at JKUAT and Strathmore enjoy it as a light design puzzle between lectures. Siblings at home can build one course together on the same console.
Where most Nairobi game stalls stock only one or two Mario titles, Mascom International carries a wider Switch range at shelf prices you can compare. Super Mario Maker 2 costs KSh 900 less than Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, and it is our pick for players who want to make levels as well as beat them. At Mascom International, we're seeing parents choose Super Mario Maker 2 for children who like drawing, Lego or building blocks. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop, pay by M-Pesa, or message us on WhatsApp to order.
Common Questions About the Super Mario Maker 2
What is the Super Mario Maker 2 Switch price in Kenya?
Super Mario Maker 2 sells for KSh 7,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed. You receive the physical Nintendo Switch cartridge in its retail case, backed by a 6-month warranty if the cartridge will not read. Delivery is pay-on-arrival anywhere in Kenya, so you can check the seal before handing over M-Pesa or cash. For comparison, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is also KSh 7,000 on our Switch shelf.
Do I need internet to play Super Mario Maker 2?
Super Mario Maker 2 does not need internet for Story Mode or for building and testing your own courses. Online features need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. These include uploading your creations, downloading courses made by other players and playing online with others. A Safaricom or Airtel data bundle works through a phone hotspot, though steady home Wi-Fi gives smoother online sessions. Offline building is the main draw for many young creators, who can spend hours designing without data costs.
Is Super Mario Maker 2 good for children who like building things?
Super Mario Maker 2 is one of the friendliest ways for children to try game design. They place ground, blocks, enemies and power-ups on a grid, then press play to test the result at once. When a jump is too hard, they adjust it and try again, which teaches patience and problem-solving. Two people can build one course at the same time on the same console, so a parent can guide a younger child step by step.
Should I buy Super Mario Maker 2 or Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury?
Super Mario Maker 2 suits players who want to build their own stages, while Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury offers a polished 3D adventure with set levels. Super Mario Maker 2 has a Story Mode of over 100 courses, then relies on player-made content online. The 3D World package plays fully offline from start to finish. At Mascom International, Super Mario Maker 2 costs KSh 7,000 and the 3D World package KSh 7,900. Choose by whether you prefer creating or simply playing.
What is in the Super Mario Maker 2 Story Mode?
The Super Mario Maker 2 Story Mode is a single-player campaign of more than 100 courses designed by Nintendo. Princess Peach's castle has been reset by Undodog, and Mario helps Toadette and the Toads rebuild it. You collect coins by clearing courses, then spend them on building the castle back up. Characters around the site also offer extra tasks. Story Mode works offline, which makes it handy on a long matatu ride to Thika or during a KPLC blackout.
How many people can play Super Mario Maker 2 together?
Super Mario Maker 2 lets two players build one course together locally on the same console. Online, up to four players can tackle player-made courses cooperatively or against each other, which requires Nintendo Switch Online. An October 2019 update added play with friends over local or nearby networks. For multiplayer, each extra person needs a controller or a Joy-Con. Families with one console usually start with shared building, then move to online play once a subscription is set up.
Does Super Mario Maker 2 play on Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch 2?
Super Mario Maker 2 plays on the original Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED and Switch Lite. On Switch Lite you play in handheld mode, since that console does not connect to a television. Super Mario Maker 2 also runs on Nintendo Switch 2 through backward compatibility, so this cartridge stays useful if you upgrade later. Your save data lives on the console, not on the cartridge, so plan a save transfer before you switch machines.
Who should buy Super Mario Maker 2, and who should skip it?
Super Mario Maker 2 is right for creative children, Mario fans, families who share one console and anyone who likes testing their own ideas. Skip it if you want a guided 3D adventure or have no plan to pay for Nintendo Switch Online, since its endless course library sits behind that subscription. Those buyers are better served by Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury or Kirby and the Forgotten Land, both on our Switch shelf at Mascom International.
Technical Specifications
Gameplay and Core Function
- Side-scrolling Mario platformer with a full course editor — you play Nintendo's courses, then build and test your own designs.
- Story Mode with more than 100 Nintendo-made courses — Mario collects coins to rebuild Princess Peach's castle after Undodog resets it.
- Five game styles — Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros. U and Super Mario 3D World.
- Vertical courses with a raised height limit — creators can build tall climbing stages, not only long left-to-right runs.
- Ninji Speedruns time trials, added in a December 2019 update — you race against recorded runs from players around the world.
- World Maker builds overworld maps of up to eight worlds — each world holds up to five levels, with Toad houses and warp pipes.
- Released worldwide on June 28, 2019, developed and published by Nintendo — all content updates arrive with a quick download.
Console Compatibility
- Plays on the original Nintendo Switch in TV, tabletop and handheld modes — design on the console screen or build on a television.
- Plays on Nintendo Switch OLED — the larger handheld screen makes small blocks and enemies easier to place accurately.
- Plays on Nintendo Switch Lite in handheld mode — the compact console suits building on the go, without a dock or television.
- Runs on Nintendo Switch 2 through backward compatibility — the same cartridge works if you upgrade your console later.
- Online play, sharing and downloading courses need Nintendo Switch Online — Story Mode and course building work without it.
- Local wireless play with nearby consoles, added in an October 2019 update — friends with their own Switch and copy can play together in one room.
Cartridge Build and Storage
- Physical Nintendo Switch game card — slides into the cartridge slot on top of the console, with no disc drive required.
- Sealed retail case from the factory — the shrink wrap confirms nobody has opened or used this copy before you.
- Content updates download to the console over Wi-Fi — newer course parts, power-ups and modes arrive through free updates.
- Saved courses and progress live on the console — you can lend the cartridge to a friend without losing your own designs.
- Hard plastic case shields the card from dust and drops — keep it there when travelling, since loose game cards are easy to lose.
- Up to six Super Worlds can be saved on the console — only one can be uploaded online, so pick your best design to share.
Inclusions and Extras
- One Super Mario Maker 2 cartridge in its standard retail case — the version Nintendo ships worldwide for the Switch.
- Free updates include the Master Sword power-up, Koopalings, Mechakoopas and multi-course worlds — all unlock once the console downloads them.
- Two-player local building works with the cartridge alone — a second person only needs a spare Joy-Con or controller.
- No subscription code, controller or stylus inside — Nintendo Switch Online is bought separately for online features.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers a defective cartridge that fails to read on a working console.
Package Contents
Each Super Mario Maker 2 order is a single sealed retail case with the Nintendo Switch game cartridge inside, plus the original printed cover. Nintendo does not pack a stylus, controller or Nintendo Switch Online code with this game, so none are listed here. The sealed case makes it gift-ready for birthdays and school holidays. Extra controllers for two-player building are available separately at Mascom International.
Warranty
Super Mario Maker 2 comes with a 6-month Mascom International warranty covering a faulty cartridge that will not read on a working Nintendo Switch. Bring the cartridge in its case with your receipt to our Nairobi CBD service desk at the Old Mutual Building, and our staff will test it and process the claim.
