New patch for SMM2 just dropped a few hours ago. Here are all the patch notes. Seems like a huge and significant patch.
Ver. 1.1.0 (Released October 1, 2019)
Course World
Network Play
Added “Play with friends”
You can now play online with friends in either Multiplayer Versus or Multiplayer Co-op modes.
You can now select courses uploaded to Course World as well as courses saved to Coursebot.
The Nintendo Switch Online mobile app is now supported.
You can automatically match online with people that you were matched with via the app, and can voice chat with them.
Added features to “Nearby Play”
You can now play in Multiplayer Co-op mode as well as Multiplayer Versus mode.
You can now select courses uploaded to Course World as well as courses saved to Coursebot.
When playing a course saved to Coursebot, the host system doesn’t need to be connected to the internet.
Added “LAN Play”
Players connected to the same LAN (Local Area Network) can now wirelessly play together.
After selecting Network Play, you can switch to LAN Play mode by clicking in the L Stick and pressing the L or R buttons.
If the connection is unstable before Multiplayer Co-op or Multiplayer Versus starts, the match will be cancelled.
In Multiplayer Co-op, when everyone chooses “Let’s start over!”, the timer will now be reset.
Changed the look of the gauge for S+, the highest rank in Multiplayer Versus.
If a player places Builder Boxes after a warp point, other players will now be able to break them and proceed forward.
All players will take the same amount of time to move through a Warp Pipe, regardless of the state of their character.
After updating to Ver. 1.1.0, you will no longer be able to match with players using Ver. 1.0.1 or lower in Network Play.
Course Info
You can now select Play Together directly from any course uploaded to a player’s profile.

@chadouken It seems like a lot of much needed quality of life adjustments as well as adding modes/features that should have been there from jump.

You gonna finally pick it up??
I’ll play with you if you do!
Considering I don’t like online multiplayer that isn’t a very appealing offer. Lol
SMM is much more of a spectator sport to me. I love seeing people’s creativity and the players going through a gamut of emotions because of the makers creativity.

So Wario Land’s Shake/Cuphead graphics with @Chadouken and @ReggieH making the levels is the only 2D Mario game I’ll except after Mario Maker goodness.

I was hoping the update would add something else besides multi player. Still hoping we get Mario 2 as DLC. Image making mario kaizo levels in Mario 2. Theres so much you can do by throwing enemies, or riding birdo eggs.

Mario 2 is such a different type of game though, I doubt it would get added. It’s also not a Mario game in Japan.

I feel like all the characters having pretty different performance stats and abilities puts a real dent in that dream to.
I mean, they created the whole “Extra Themes” section specifically for SM3DW because it doesn’t jive with the core 4 elements, so adding SMB2 isn’t out of the realm of possibilities from a technical standpoint.
As far as it not being in Japan, I believe later iterations like All-Stars and the various DS versions are available there. And there is a HUGE Wareham demand for it. Maybe they could call it Doki Doki style?
Yeah, I mean, it’s certainly possible of course, and the 3DW being a totally separate theme certainly is a good point.
Crotchpuncha brings up a good point about characters with different abilities, though, and I hadn’t really considered that.
I wonder if they’ll bring in another 3D style game like Galaxy or Odyssey. Or maybe 6 Golden Coins could be awesome, with the greyscale coloring!

Did we get yet Super Mario Land style? I assume not but I will hope still
I doubt they do that since we already have the Powerball powerup, with the theme music. To me it seems like that’s going to be their nod to that game instead of making it a complete style. But it would be dope if they do it anyway!
Mario Land 1 or 2 would be great…maybe in SMM3

you also cant play as peach, the only way Mario 2 would work if they just made everyone jump the same, and dig or pick up the same.
Also Mario 2 U.S. was released in japan on the Mario all stars for snes. So maybe it can happen.
