Where is the Skinny Mario Mushroom in Super Mario Maker 2?

The weird mushroom that makes Mario skinny doesn't seem to be in Super Mario Maker 2, but that's not to say Skinny Mario himself doesn't make an appearance.

To summon Skinny Mario in Super Mario Maker 2, load up Course Maker and place a Warp Door into the level. From there, hover over it with the cursor and tap on it (or use the A button) to knock on the door. After a while of knocking, Skinny Mario will open the door and appear briefly.

It's not just a small cameo, either. Depending on which course theme users have selected, Skinny Mario will appear with a variety of different themed adornments, such as a cape or raccoon tail. He even appears with a Skinny Yoshi if players knock on the Warp Door in a stage with the Super Mario World theme.

It's sad to learn that the Skinny Mushroom isn't available in Super Mario Maker 2, but it turns out that Skinny Mario is alive and well. To see him, simply open Course Maker and start knocking on a Warp Door.
