LittleBigPlanet 2 vs Super Mario Maker

LittleBigPlanet 2 expands the beloved Sackboy universe with powerful creation tools, letting players design their own levels, games, and experiences. The sequel builds on the original’s charm while introducing a robust “Platform for Games” philosophy that encourages endless creativity. The game offers a rich single‑player campaign, cooperative play, and a thriving online community where user‑generated content is fully backward compatible with the first title. With its whimsical art style and accessible controls, it appeals to both kids and seasoned gamers alike.

Super Mario Maker lets players unleash their imagination by designing custom Mario courses using the intuitive Wii U GamePad, turning level creation into a sketch‑like experience. Share your creations online and explore a vast library of community‑made stages, all while enjoying classic Mario gameplay and special amiibo‑powered features.
