Nintendo has announced its third game-focused tournament for E3 2019. The Super Mario Maker 2 Invitational 2019 will be held in time for E3 on June 8, the company revealed today. Participants will “test their platforming abilities on Super Mario Maker 2 courses, custom-made by Nintendo’s Treehouse”.


During today’s Nintendo Direct, it was announced that Super Mario Maker 2 will have online and local multiplayer. Along with Multiplayer Versus, Multiplayer Co-op will be included.

In Multiplayer Versus, four players will be assigned a different character, and will race to the end in a randomly-selected course. Your versus rating will change depending on your performance. Meanwhile, Multiplayer Co-op has players working together to beat a level.

If four Switch players are in a room together with their own systems, one player can create a room for multiplayer. Only the person who makes the room needs a persistent online connection for everyone to play. There are no ratings here, but you can view the standings.

Super Mario Maker 2 will have a story mode, Nintendo announced during today’s Direct presentation.

Here’s what we know:

– Mario sets out to help build Princess Peach’s castle
– Go through courses in search of coins
– Accept tasks from the bulletin board
– Earn coins as a reward
– Over 100 courses in story mode
– As reconstruction progresses, Mario can reach new areas
– Characters may offer up additional jobs
