Super Mario Maker 2 - Music Levels Tutorial

In this guide I will briefly explain how to use the piano letter notes posted on this website, to make the songs in Super Mario Maker 2. I will cover only the things that are strictly related to understanding how to read the letter notes and where each note must be placed in Mario Maker.

Firstly I strongly advise to watch this video by DannyB Plays. He explains very well everything you need to know about making songs in Super Mario Maker 2. Like how to adjust songs speed, what things to use to make sounds, what sounds each monster makes and much more.
I won't put all that info in text format here because this tutorial will be massive and hard to follow. So watch the video!

Now i'll explain how are the letter notes formatted on this site.

How are the letter notes formatted here?

First, let's learn a bit about how the songs are written here, and what are the "Octaves".
An average piano / keyboard has keys for 4-5 octaves, as you can see in the picture above. Octaves 4, 5 and sometimes 6 are use to make the melody in a song. Octaves 1, 2, 3 are used to make the bass in a song.

The songs listed here are formatted like this (it's for Crab Rave):

RH:4|d-A-g-gd-da-f-fd-da-f-fc-c|
LH:2|g---g---f---f---d---d---c-|

RH:4|-e-efed-A-g-gd-da-f-fd-da-|
LH:2|--c---g---g---f---f---d---|


The numbers in front of each line represent the Octave. RH and LH, means "right hand" and "left hand", it's helpful for people who play the songs on pianos, so in Song Maker you can ignore them.

One dash (-) between notes represent an empty space in Super Mario Maker 2

How to use the letter notes in Super Mario Maker 2 

Now that you know about octaves, you need to know where each letter note needs to go. The picture above shows you exactly where each note goes. I labeled the octaves as 4, 5 and 6. But you can shift them if for example your song has notes only from octave 3 and 4, than consider the octaves in Super Mario Maker 2 Octave 3, 4 and 5.
Also C D E F G A B = c d e f g a b on the letter notes posted here, and C# D# F# G# A# = C D F G A

Unfortunately Super Mario Maker 2 has ONLY 2 Octaves, and 3 notes from 3rd Octave, this means you can't really make to many songs from here in Super Mario Maker 2, because a lot of songs uses more than 2 octaves.

But there are a lot of simple songs that use only two octaves posted, just look for them, or you can use only the RH: lines, since those notes are for the melody on most songs, and usually they have notes only from octave 4 and 5.

I haven't actually tested all of this in game. If you guys need an example i'll try to build a song in Super Mario Maker 2 myself to show you how it should look in game.

I tried to be as brief as possible in this tutorial, if you didn't understand something, leave a comment and i'll do my best to explain it better.
