Latest Super Mario Maker update changes P-Switch’s hitbox, now more difficult to jump off of
Last week’s Super Mario Maker update made a small but notable tweak to one of the game’s items. The P-Switch’s hitbox has been modified, meaning it’s now more difficult to jump off it. Some players aren’t even sure if this was an intentional change or a glitch.
In any case, how the P-Switch works now is causing some issues. Courses made before the latest Mario Maker update use the old way of jumping off the item. However, levels made after the patch use the new method. And finally, if you were making a level before the patch and now make a change post-patch, the new P-Switch rules are applied. Because of this, it can be tough for players to determine how they should jump off a P-Switch in the game.
