Add Mods to Super Mario Maker 2 | Tutorial

Introduction

Welcome to this comprehensive tutorial on how to mod Super Mario Maker 2! In this guide, we will explore the process of applying mods to the game, which can be likened to modding any other game. We’ll discuss two main methods for modding: using a Nintendo Switch and using an emulator. Let’s jump in!

Modding the Nintendo Switch Version

Prerequisites

Before diving into the modding process, ensure that you have a modded Nintendo Switch. If you haven’t modded your Switch yet, you can refer to several guides available online.

Accessing the Atmosphere Folder

Once your Switch is modded, you’ll find that a folder named atmosphere is created on your SD card. This folder contains subfolders for different game titles. Each game has a unique title ID, which you can look up online if needed. For example, you could search for "Super Mario Maker 2 title ID".

Setting Up the Mod

1. Create the Mod Folder: Using the title ID for Mario Maker 2, create a new folder within the atmosphere "contents" directory.

2. Download Mods: For your modding needs, you can visit websites that host various game mods. For instance, you can download a mod such as "Sky Castle".

3. Drag and Drop: After downloading, simply drag the mod (following the correct folder structure) into the newly created folder under the title ID. Ensure that you maintain the correct structure; otherwise, the Switch may not recognize the mods.

Using Simple Mod Manager

Another efficient way to manage mods is by using an application called Simple Mod Manager. This allows for easy enabling and disabling of multiple mods:

1. Download and Install: Download the Simple Mod Manager and place it in the appropriate Switch folder.

2. Create a Mods Folder: In the root directory of your SD card, create a folder called mods followed by your game name (like Super Mario Maker 2), where you can store all your mods.

3. Use the Manager: Open the Simple Mod Manager from your Switch, and you can enable or disable mods at will.

Launching the Game

After enabling your desired mods, you can simply head back to your game and see the effects in action!

Modding with the Emulator (Ryujinx)

If you prefer to use an emulator, follow these steps to mod with Ryujinx:

1. Open the Emulator: Start Ryujinx and ensure your game is recognized. If not, you can add it through the options settings.

2. Access Mods Directory: Right-click the game and open the mods directory.

3. Create Folder for Mods: Create a folder for your mods, maintaining the folder structure similar to that used for the Switch.

4. Manage Mods: Right-click on the game again, select manage mods, and here you can enable or disable the mods installed.

5. Play: Save your settings and start the game! The mods should now be in effect.
