ASwinging Claw is an object inSuper Mario Maker 2 that can grab enemies and items. WhenMario approaches one, it drops whatever object it is holding. Swinging Claws can be placed ontracks, and they can even be used to swing Mario. If the player is in a Swinging Claw's grasp, they can move left and right to build momentum before jumping out of it to gain more distance, similar to swingingropes andvines in theNew Super Mario Bros. games. In theSuper Mario Bros. andSuper Mario World styles, they are depicted as generic claws with a light that turns on when the claw is holding an object. However, in theSuper Mario Bros. 3 andNew Super Mario Bros. U styles, they are depicted as sentient claws with a face. In theSuper Mario Bros. 3 style, the Swinging Claw frowns when holding an object, although in theNew Super Mario Bros. U style, it smiles. It frowns more when holding a bigger object in both styles. The player can also press
or
while pressing
to drop out of the claw.
The Story Mode levelSwinging Claw Escape has a clear condition of not using any Swinging Claws, but the condition is otherwise unavailable in Course Maker.
