Super Mario Maker 2 needs friends

Nintendo has finally brought its Mario Maker series to the Switch, and I’m loving it. In Super Mario Maker 2, creation is still so easy that anyone can do it. And it’s so much fun to play through your friends’ levels — even if they are sometimes cruel and unethical.

But Super Mario Maker 2 (read the review) actually has a friends problem. The game seems to ignore the concept. It’s like it comes from a universe where the word “friends” does not exist. And that holds the overall experience back. If Nintendo plans to update the game at all, then it should focus on this problem first.
