Do You Need a Gamepad to Play Super Mario Maker?

Best Answer

Nope, you don't need a gamepad! You can totally play it with a standard controller, but using a stylus on the touchscreen is like magic for level creation.

Honestly, a gamepad is great but not essential. I've created some awesome levels just using a regular controller on the Switch!

For the Wii U version, having a gamepad really makes the level-building process smoother, but it's not a strict requirement. The other versions work fine with the standard controls.

No. A standard controller works just fine. Gamepad optional.
