A crucial part of Mario Maker 2вЂ™s popularity is availability - not just because more people own Nintendo Switches, which have a built-in share tool, but also because that console saturation allows for ample interplay between personalities and viewers. (The original Super Mario Maker was also ported to 3DS, but without a critical feature: the ability to upload and share courses online.) The original game was still a favorite among YouTubers and Twitch streamers, but it never quite took over the internet in the same way. Why would Mario Maker 2 pop off like this? The most obvious reason is that the first game was only available on the Wii U, which didnвЂ™t do very well in the last generation of console wars. Mario Maker, in short, is having its moment - to wit, it was named the bestselling game of June 2019. Viewers love to watch expert players ram their heads against the most extreme Mario levels available. On Twitch, Mario Maker 2 is also making strides, largely thanks to speedrunners who have been championing user-made levels way before Nintendo even made an official tool. Here, too, our favorite red plumber is racking up millions upon millions of views. Meanwhile, on YouTube, nearly every prominent gaming personality you can name, from Jacksepticeye to the Game Grumps, are all playing Mario Maker 2 right now.
