It was revealed during a recent Super Mario Maker 2 Direct that co-operative play will be offered by this title. It would provide an element of fun in the game as friends will be able to play against each other in groups of four when they’re sitting together or through local wireless. It seems that while the game will allow this, it may not allow them to play co-op online.
According to Nintendo World Report, a representative for the company has suggested that it will not be possible for friends to team up online with each other. If they want to play with other people online, they will have to make do with online matchmaking with random players.
It’s pertinent to note there that Nintendo hasn’t made an official announcement in this regard. The suggestion comes from a single Nintendo representative and there’s a possibility that they might not be fully aware of the specifics. This will be so because Nintendo feels that being able to play with your own friends online could lead to global leaderboards being compromised.
Nevertheless, this remains within the realm of possibility, particularly when Nintendo’s history with online play is taken into context. Nintendo hasn’t issued a clarification on this as yet.
