Course Theme

For other versions of this subject see here.

Course Themes are Course Elements found in Super Mario Maker 2 that change the appearance of the level, as well as altering the physics in some cases.

List of Course Themes

There are 10 different themes available to choose from. Additionally, every theme in the four main game styles has both a Day and Night version.

Ground	Underground	Underwater	Ghost House	Airship	Castle	Desert	Forest	Sky	Snow

How To Unlock

While all 10 Course Themes are unlocked by default, the ability to use night themes is not. The day-night switch is unlocked once the Angry Sun is changed into the Moon in Course Editor for the first time.

Mechanics

Nighttime Effects

When a Night theme is chosen, various effects will take place and some items may even change completely.

Theme		Night Version Effect
Ground		Enemies Goombas and Wigglers will behave as if they are underwater. Chain Chomps will be 2 times longer than normal. Thwomps, Stretches and Boo Buddies will act similar to Boos in that they follow the player when they are not looking and stop when they turn around. Boos themselves, however, will now only follow the player if they are facing them and stop moving when they look away. Goomba's Stilettos play a hip-hop drumbeat while moving and have a distorted flutter sound effect. Thrown Spike Balls become heat-seeking projectiles and follow the player. Link's bombs grow legs and walk around similar to a Bob-omb. Power-ups 1-Up Mushrooms turn into Rotten Mushrooms. Fire Flowers will move sideways in the opposite direction of the player and will start bouncing after touching a wall. Super Mushrooms and Big Mushrooms will bounce in the opposite direction of the player Super Leafs will "fall" upwards. Cape Feathers will swing further than normal. Propeller Mushrooms will zigzag around the screen at random.
Underground		Turns the screen upside down.
Underwater		Makes everything dark, except for a short radius of light around the player, various other objects and the start end of the level. Collecting a Moon or having the heaven effect allows the screen to be seen for a short period of time. Various other effects can also produce light.
Ghost House
Airship		Causes a thunderstorm to occur and course elements will behave as if they are underwater.
Castle		Allows the player to swim in the air.
Desert		Causes a sandstorm to occur in a direction and intensity depending on the game style: SMB: The sandstorm goes left at an interval. SMB3: The sandstorm goes right at an interval. SMW: The sandstorm alternates between left and right at an interval. NSMBU: The sandstorm constantly goes right.
Forest		Turns the water into poison water.
Sky		Causes light gravity to occur allowing the player to jump 1 block higher, as well as everything moving slower.
Snow		Makes all walkable surfaces have ice physics.
