It's easy to adjust water and lava levels in the Super Mario Maker 2 Course Maker mode.

U Game Styles seem to do the trick.. From there, players will see the Water Level or Lava Level adjustment button appear underneath the course theme.
With the Water/Lava Level function activated, the base water level will be set toward the bottom of the editor grid. Players can adjust the level by selecting the circle within the yellow-hued adjuster: Simply drag it up or down to set a manual level.
Once set, players can also press and hold on the arrow indicator to set automatic rising and lowering of water or lava. The speed is set with colors and arrows, where the yellow single arrow is the slowest speed and the three blue arrows represent the fastest.
