If these dates do not match, it is because: Metroid Mike 64 says he intended to do so from before first time The Mario Maker game came out in 2015. When the Switch sequel came out, he says he studied his work and “laborably imported it block by block” from his first game to his second.
Crucial was the addition of the World Maker update for Mario Maker 2. This allows players to combine multiple levels into a complete game with appropriate world maps. Metroid Mike 64 used it to organize 40 courses across 8 worlds, which he divided into 3 styles (“24 courses in Super Mario World, 14 courses in SMB3, 2 courses in SMB”). .
The unofficial Super Mario Bros. 5 is a love letter to the NES and SNES era of Mario games and includes new touches to some of its features. and so on.

Many have pointed out the oddity of having to hand-craft the creation of a new 2D Mario game for fans. A new mainline 2D Mario game for 2012 appeared in 2012 with New Super Mario Bros. U. 2019’s Mario Maker 2 had a great story mode, but it was built more to showcase the flexibility of the tool than to offer a new classic game. mario game. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is coming to Switch, but we have yet to hear of a brand new 2D Mario from Nintendo itself.
