<p>There was a lot to learn about each of Nintendo’s upcoming Switch titles on the first day of Nintendo Treehouse Live at E3 2019. When the localisation team sat down alongside <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/super_mario_maker_2">Super Mario Maker 2</a></strong> producer Takashi Tezuka, viewers were able to learn a little bit more about what to expect from the building game arriving in a few weeks time.</p>
<p>If you missed the live stream, or don’t already know about this particular morsel of info regarding the follow-up to the Wii U original, read on. In the game’s story mode, there’s a ‘Part’ icon in the bottom left side of the screen. During a preview of a night level, we got to see how exactly it functions.</p>
<p>If you’re struggling with a course, the game will notice this and Luigi’s course parts will become accessible, allowing you to select from a small assortment of helpful items such as stars, mushrooms and even blocks to modify the course.</p>
<p>In a translation, Tezuka explained how the Luigi assist mode allowed everyone to play through levels, regardless of their experience:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“I wanted to make sure that there was something for people who might have trouble with these stages, so that they would also be able to make their way through it – so include some way to help people that might not be as advanced as other players.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Tezuka further explained how it is a game about making after all, and it’s a very “light-hearted” addition:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“This is a game about making, so I thought it would fun if there was a way to include a little bit of course making, even when you’re playing a course, like this, so we included this Luigi assist mode.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>“I wanted people to just have a light-hearted casual way to be able to add some making elements to courses while they were playing them…That means you don’t have to persevere”</p>
