So, what are some things that you have noticed/liked/disliked about this game?
>Playing on bed isn't as comfy as playing with the Wii U gamepad, the Switch tablet just doesn't feel as ergonomic as the U gamepad
>Creating levels laying in bed can be tiring as well, using a capacitive stylus feels weird
>Vertical levels can be a hassle to create if you use snake blocks
Anyway, play my course

Repeating this because I posted it late in the other thread and I don't want him to miss it: "The Great Tower of Koopa" was hard but definitely fun, good job VerttigoM2.
So.. if I can ask because there's no answers anywhere online.. I went back into my course to edit and I can't place blocks or put Mario down. Can I edit my course or do I need to delete it and start all over again?
Bit Crusade 3 is the sequel to the two full games (1-1 to 8-4) I created within Mario Maker 1, reminiscent of traditional Mario levels. Meant to be played in sequence as an adventure game, starting at the 1-1. There's secrets to find, alternative pathways and other goodies as well. Try to find all 5 Power Pepperonis hidden in each stage to access the super secret bonus room at the end of each level.
The story so far: World 1 Complete

Give em a go, I'm usually pretty good about leaving feedback here and on the game itself. Reply to this with some stages you want played and I'll prioritize those, otherwise I pick through the thread at random. If you complete the entire first world reply to this with what you thought or anything you find that's busted and I'll play all your levels, and if I find one I really like I'll make a webm of part of it to showcase it.
very fun level to play fast

Not sure why peopled are booing my level. I didn't play MM1 but I tested this aplenty and it's difficult but not cheap at all. Only comment I've gotten is that there are too many enemies, figured others would like that chaos where you have to weave in and out at times but I guess not.
I've been first or second clearing other user's levels so any feedback is welcome, like if you got stuck or frustrated at a particular point.

God damn it stop making good levels, leave some credit for the rest of us will ya?
Feedback appreciated. A little rushed. Easy and simple course with thwomp and switch gimmicks. The big thwomp section has a reset door if you fuck up, should have made that part more polished
Not to be offensive OP but your level isn't very good. Keep in mind that unfair shit is never good difficulty. There's just too much going on in your level and you would benifit from doing the tutorials
Pretty cool, music at the end didn't stick for the last part. Saws before the end can be a total death trap.

Nice for a first level. Plenty of small ideas there you could develop into entire levels on their own.
Not fun user, just feels like you pasted enemies everywhere, sorry
Why do you guys do these kinds of things it feels like 12yos made these
Actually fun and good, thank fuck
Played your levels before and said it then, you really are good at level design, fucking props and am subscribed
One for overworld, one for subworld.
Maybe it's 1 per zone, try putting 1 in the subarea
I just made a course based on the Koopa Bros fortress from Paper Mario, I think this is definitely my best level so far.
It has:

>bomb-ombs and koopas as foot soldiers
>jail cell area with various items
>firebar area
>bomb-omb jail
>bullet bill gauntlet

>You can't attach sound effects to objects that spawn from pipes
Wouldn't exactly call it traditional, but it was alright. I like stages that use the clown cart
Thanks a lot for the feedback guys, playing a couple in the thread as we speak and making notes. Some of the levels in this thread are exactly what i'm trying to avoid, contrived shit that you can't see coming / too much stuff on screen for no reason
Ordered this on Amazon just for MM and holy fuck it's great. 60$ tho

It's a raccoon mario level with conveyor belts to accelerate in a shorter distance and fly. It has some minor puzzle elements, since you have to use your tail and throw shells to activate on/off switches to advance through the stage. It might be hard if you have dificulty flying reliably with raccoon mario, but there's plenty of room to make mistakes.
Would appreciate some feedback on my stages:
>A Matter of Life and Death: PPS-21N-JSG
Super basic themed stage, probably not particularly difficult, but should feel a lot like a normal early Mario stage
>Fright Factory: CJS-6FJ-4YF
A on/off puzzle stage in a haunted factory. I'd really like feedback on this one more than anything, especially if it's too hard.
>Frozen Ruins in the Dry Desert: KPF-NHH-FFG
A basic stage using a lot of ice, with a basic path and a harder "true ending" path with bonuses for collecting the keys.
Everything's appreciated!
You like the mine-cart levels from DKC?
Koopa Derby 1-2: 7G2-Y0F-TWF
So I tried to do a remake of Gusty Glade from DKC2 after I discovered the wind theme. It turned out a little harder than I expected but I'd appreciate if I could get a few plays from you guys. I wanted to keep it as accurate as possible and I even worked the bonus stages in there. I'm thinking of doing some more DKC2 remakes.
P3K-3CF-5PF
Im planning on getting the SF version which has regular non concave face buttons. Also last I looked it was more like $41-45?
I also need a controller like this in general. As much as I love my Wii U Pro for d-paddery, it cant do inputs over wired
It was alright. I got confused during the goomba, bomb, lava ball madness part. Mainly I guess because I went past the cat powerup without noticing it.
Get good? Do most people just quit the first few times they die? It's not that difficult, I'm pretty much average skill level. Weaving in and out of a lot enemies is fun to me. Hey it's fine, I just don't get some people's preferences.

I'm making a sort of space exploration level, and I'm deciding if I should include "upgrades" that let you access other areas and sacrifice linearity, or if I should scrap that idea and just let the player go anywhere in any order.
60$ in leaf-land, sorry for the misunderstanding. The caved buttons are just made for SMW so works for me

>know where stuff is the second time

damn too hardcore for me
I guess I'll switch to simple setup speed run levels, I like making and playing those as well and they are easier to make anyways.
Finished it, I didn't find it especially difficult, but the theme really seems to fall apart designwise as you go along. Otherwise it wasn't a complete bullshit kaizo stage while still having some challenge so that's cool.
Dumb question, but is the only way to make an update to a stage you've already uploaded is to delete it?
I even renamed the stage, but it wont let me upload it.
I didnt wanna lose all those comments....
Easy and fun level!
Yep, you have to delete and upload.
It's so disheartening when you spend ages creating a level and no-one plays it. Here's my level: "Escape from Thwomp Ruins!"

Feedback welcome, please be harsh
SMU = SMW > SMB3 = 3DW > SMB1
3D world would be so much better if it had more items, it has the best platforming.
SMW > SMB 3 > SMB
The rest can go to heck.
where's the goomba?
Played your second level. I found the first key room really annoying. It could do with the conveyor belt. I'm also not a fan of ennemies popping out of enterable pipes. Last thing I wanted to add was that I found your secret 3 ups room to be too slow. Otherwise it was fine.
gonna repost my newest level
YPB-V0V-76G
I tried to make it interesting, though it's mostly a standard platforming level. Only 1 clear so far.
I can't. I like them all and there are levels I prefer in one style and others in another.
But I guess If I HAD to pick one then SMW would be my favorite.
SMB1 = SMB3 = SMW > power gap > SMU = 3DW
If they hadn’t released the 3D World style the way it is, it potentially could’ve been on par with the top 3, but frankly, it feels unfinished in the state it’s currently in. I love the movement, music, and visuals, but it’s missing so many vital objects that I refuse to believe are hard to implement like vines, one-way gates, koopa shells, tracks, fire bars, one tile spikes, red and blue blocks, and a bunch of other stuff I’m sure I missed. If they fix these issues by giving it some of the objects it desperately needs for any semblance of depth, it could be great, but right now it’s not, and for me it’s a glaring flaw on an otherwise great sequel.
Can I get some feedback on this brand new level? No clears yet. My clear rate has been pretty low on previous levels so I am trying to go a bit on the easy side.
R2J-37X-NFF
Played it. It was fun but hard. Maybe add more mushrooms so it’s more forgiving when people get it in endless mode.
>SMB1 and SMB3 on par with SMW
they look like shit and have almost nothing that warrants using them over it

Your levels aren't too hard, most people are just mind-bogglingly bad at Mario
Look at your death markers sometime and be amazed at the creative ways people manage to kill themselves
>they look like shit and have almost nothing that warrants using them over it
You’ve just got some shit taste if you think that’s the case, they all look great. All of them allow for different looking levels with different music and atmosphere. They’re all solid as fuck and enjoy all of them equally.
how'd you guys learn how to make good levels
When people ask me if I went to game design school, I tell them, "No, I went and played video games."
Ceave has a pretty good tutorial on making good traditional levels. Basically, the trick is to limit yourself to a handful of elements, usually a main element and some supporting ones. This forces you to be creative and allows the player to have an idea of what's coming up.
Only the most average adventurers can make it through Roundabout Rock. Can you?
YWW-P2J18G
There's some great concepts here to git gud
Thanks for the feedback, did you find the secret area with the 1ups and stuff? I found it pretty hard when I had to complete it to upload it, it originally had three flying dry bones at the start which drove me mad
>SMB1
>bad
I think it is actually my favorite. Try this level:
348-2X1-MRF
Finished it! I liked it, my main complaints are that getting in and out of the 5 pink coin area is a little too difficult to do, and could use slightly higher walls (on the entrance/exit portions only, the rest is fine)
Also I feel that when you have 2 moles, their bumping into each other makes the dodging a little too random for my personal tastes, but others might not be so bothered. In all, enjoyed it despite my complaints.
The levels I make usually take 3-5 hours to make in total. Before I even start a level I mess around with the editor to try and find a few enemies and concepts that work well together and sorta just start making stuff I think would be fun with a basic theme in mind, and when I’m finished I pretty it up a little because it can go a long way to help spruce up your level with a few semi-solid platforms and ground textures.
If anyone wants to play some decent idea that I think sadly turned out as garbage, feel free to give this a play.
KFF-0J7-DBG
I'm not sure I want to make another 3D world course ever again, there's so many basic features missing, holy shit.
>All-Stars user back on his bullshit
Ceave Gaming has some good videos on how to structure levels and on how to properly use the game mechanics to your level's advantage
youtube.com
youtube.com
Most of the tips from the MM1 videos still apply to MM2
My favorite section was the boss fight where you had to dodge the fireballs and wait for the bob-ombs to blow up. I’d say sprinkle some coins in the level and some semi-solid platforms to age the level look a bit more distinct.
CSG-CWL-K9G
Beat it
>2/55 clears
guess i fucked up
Yeah I managed to find the secret vine. I was hoping to find a super mush up there.
Which one is the super mushroom? Might put one up there. I had the endless challengers in mind when I put the 1ups up there
I can and I have - thematically it's a hot mess, but platform-wise it's fun.
>do you get to the door in the middle of the castle section?
you have to reach it without being hit once. After that you just have to use your head ;^)
It's not easier, but shorter and you don't have to fly.

These are both extremely fun and well made, gj lads
Last edit for hopefully a while: The list now sorts by newest first by default, but you can switch sheets to sort by title or maker.
Trying one last time to get this level kickstarted! Also, what’s everyone maker points at? I have no idea how the point system works.
>YWT-8QC-87G
After listening to the criticism of yesterday's thread , I finally got around to improving my level. Behold, the all new "Journey to the Cave of Wonders!"
3SV-N7K-GGF
With this I got rid of any sort of leaps of faith and made it more about outrunning a single Charvarg. Also altered the bees to make them easier to jump on. Hopefully this level's more enjoyable now.
Also almost done with my newest level, so I will post that one soon.
I'm not even seeing what the idea is, user. Most of the levels are just unfun, they're so cramped. The Podoboo area is straight up awful, it's impossible to tell where they're popping up. In the future I recommend using tracks to show their pathing, even if they're not actually on the tracks. Or at least coins.
CSL-C0M-DWG
Thanks, man. I didn't really make it with a theme in mind, but rather I just put in whatever I thought would be fun.
Where do I see that?
>I’d say sprinkle some coins in the level and some semi-solid platforms to age the level look a bit more distinct.
Thanks for giving it a try. You are definitely right about the semi-solid platforms, I guess I just gave up trying to make a mostly empty level look like something cohesive. As far as coins go I usually use them to guide the player or spice up boring/slow segments, but idk maybe.
I'm actually havin fun playin my own course, there's enough danger, but enough leeway for someone bein more cautious on an endless playthrough, or their first time through the course. But I've tried to have everything sync up for a speedrunner, too. Hope you guys don't mind playin a course with a clear condition around coins.
You're right about the walls in the pink coin area, I subconsciously matched them with the middle walls and didn't think to make them different heights
Squeezing through a tiny gap to enter the room should probably not be the main challenge there
Thanks user
the winged platforms really fuck up your momentum
aside from that it's not really all that hard
I'm really fucking up your clear %, that first bit is way too hard, the jumping flame bit right at the start is so annoying. I like the idea of being inside the thwomps with their outline made of brick though
I would have if 3D world even had tracks.
I agree tho, this probably isn't long for the world.
Oh sorry, forgot to link it.

Dropped it at the Chain Chomp section a while ago - how was I supposed to do that? I-I wasn't actually supposed to get lifted up by the Chain Chomp posts, right? R-right?
Good shit, user.
It's only a third of the way done at the moment, sorry. But I think I could have it done by tonight.
First stage, it's real short and mostly looking for criticism/ideas

That’s all that I’ve seen. Everyone loves using those winding blocks to waste time too.
Only two visits and no completions but ninety-five failures...
If you ever finally make it passed the flying saws / hail and spinies: There another retard helmet right above the red pipe leading into the cave, you'll be able to find it in a hidden block.
Oh good, you posted it again
Now go forth and win.
Made a level based around bullet bills, creating various challenges around them. I tried not to make it too hard.

Tight platforming and thematically coherent to a fault - this is what we in the business call in our jargon 'good shit m8'
KM6-M28-2HG
I got to the check point and the first jump is just a pain. And when I would get passed the first two saws and onto the thwomp section I died from offscreen saws and just called it. Your level is definitely doable but if I ran into it on endless it would be boo’d and skipped pretty quickly.
That's insane - but I'll give it a shot.
Not very fun, user. Nobody likes playing autoscrollers, and there's pretty much no safe places to take a breather.
Reposting to educate people who might not know

Keep in mind that clear rate does NOT equal difficulty.
What you see under "clear rate" is nothing but how often the flag was touched vs how many times someone started the level.
If I go into a new level and clear it first time, it will say 1/1 clear rate 100%.
If I then go and think "hey I could set a really good time for this and get a long lasting world record!" and I keep playing the stage over and over but resetting it when I mess up a jump or lose time in some segment, it might just say something like 2/50 or 2/100 or what have you when I'm finally done and the clear rate shown will be ABYSMAL.
Yet the stage will still be rated as easy because out of 2 people who loaded the level 2 have completed it (the number next to the footprints symbol is not how many unique people played your stage, but how often anyone has loaded into the stage. Resetting doesn't add to it, just actually reloading it fully aka exiting and coming back in).
And that is what the game looks at. The game looks at your play count (footprints number) and compared it to your clears.
For example one of my stages has a clear rate of only 2.2%.
Sounds hard, right?
Well in reality many of those attempts were by people trying to get good times. If you actually divide clears by how often the stage was loaded, the number is something like 29% for that stage. Suddenly it's not THAT hard anymore. 29% of the time when someone entered my level, they ended up clearing it.
Having an open level will need you to consider how the players will tackle your course. You'll probably have to sacrifice a lot of dificulty too since you won't know what the player has when they go against a boss or something.
thanks but you should also have posted the image where she has her shirt unbuttoned

But I didn't post that
You've gotta watch the pattern below with the two higher pieces of track I laid down. If you're running toward that off switch with the red coin, you have about an extra 1.5 seconds to position yourself before the thwomp is able to fully break through the hard blocks. You were actually almost at the end, though.

anons at least sell your damn level you lazy fucks, you presumably spent hours making it, surely you can write a few sentences
Do you guys think a stage around this kind of shit could be fun?
I like how they look when flying around there, not all perfectly on top of each other. If you sprint through the tornadoes you can dodge them and not get smacked upwards into the moles.
I posted this one a few days ago, this time around it's been balanced a bit and I've removed the excess coins.

>draw the rest of the fucking owl
At CP2, the second section really wasn't too bad. But the Bowser fight will rek me a couple of times I reckon. I'll like it in advance just in case I ragequit
there's plenty of spaces to short hop back and forth, infact there's 2 donut platforms you can easily move between. The idea was to maintain pacing but with the addition of autoscrolling, it might've been redundant. I might swap them out for hard blocks.
no
7N3-DSH-Y0G
The Ground Night stage actually has a bunch of different effects, not just the 'goombas float and 1-ups are poisonous' that everyone knows. This level showcases all of the changes -- or at least all of those I could find.
Pretty easy level, but should help inspire people about what parts they would want to use in their own work.
Yeah the second half is more of a breather compared to the beginning, considering you don't fuck up at the miniboss. The Bowser fight was initially much harder with a Bowser jr shooting fireballs and a smaller playing field, but I felt it was too rng based.
If you have a challenging platforming section, just have the player fall into a pit with a door that takes you back to the start of that section.
looks funny but I wouldn't use it as a stage theme, maybe keep them as a one-off obstacle tho

All in all I'd say that the stage was pretty fair - figuring out the Thwomp section isnt easy but all the tools are there, I'm just a brainlet
why is this shitty level so popular?
Choose a pipe and hope you're right is the epitome of shit level design. Otherwise I liked your level.
that's how the creator of celeste designed his level. kinda makes sense cuz his game is based on short rooms anyway.
It's gotta be somebody who is internet famous shilling their shit to their fanbase
There's no downside to taking the wrong pipe, and you get to see jr's bedroom or a koopa on the toilet.
CNJ R0X 6GG
It's a puzzle ghost house level. I tried to make it fair and didn't incorporate any stupid shit like invisible blocks. No hard platforming either. Brainlets not welcome.
Updated Fright Factory to make some changes (thanks for the suggestions ) so things are less difficult in the first puzzle and the bonus room is shorter but more interactive.

The level is not crazy it's very doable, just challenging, and there are 2 very generously placed checkpoints.
GOOD LUCK:

"just have the player fall into a pit" kinda limits creativity when it comes to challenging platforming. Well in a way it forces you to be creative too, but you can only do so much with "falling down" as a penalty.
Congrats man, your posts have encouraged me to make more. This time more straightforward as the thwomp room seemee to get a lot of people to quit, even though I personally think it's fine.
How so? Even if you're speedrunning you probably cleared the level normally once just to scope the layout. I don't see the problem.

I didn't play the previous version but the room with the conveyor belts and the plant is really janky
even when you reach the clear pipe and hold up you just slide past it and fall down because you need to hit a sweetspot while at high speed
and the plant is just super likely to eat your ass because of how the conveyor fucks with your momentum
Not saying it's shit or anything I actually really like the stage, I just think this room could use some polish to make it smoother
It's someone who played one of my levels - I generally play at least one level of people who play mine. Famed artist of such masterpieces as 'Tribute to Nolan (Big guy)'
Kek, those are the shitty joke levels i made. The other 2 have effort put into them
I've put invisible blocks under the pipe but I guess people wouldn't really find them unless they try to wall jump up.
I'll keep that in mind if I revise it again, thanks for the feedback.
nvm I'm retarded and didn't hit the hidden blocks, it's super easy once they're active
I gave away over $100 dollars on this game thus far. Play it, it's got a few puzzles with some doable platforming no leaps of faith or stupid traps, no trolling really. and its not kaizo or anything, just punishing platforming.

I know I keep shilling this level but I haven’t had time to make new ones. I like being a nurse but working three straight overnight twelves makes it hard to chill with the bros. I just got on shift but when I get home around 8AM tomorrow I will be making a big post of comments like I did yesterday.
one of the best games I've played this year, at least. though I haven't played many new releases this year.
I wish they hadn't neutered the wacky undertones and Mario Paint themeing of the original Mario Maker. I liked the sort of "Kid Pix" feel of the original. It was more like Nintendo software instead of a Nintendo game, if you know what I mean.
Also the GamePad and stylus were just fucking perfect for MM1's drag n drop UI. Using a stylus on the Switch just feels weird and janky. You can't even shake enemies to change their states as far as I can tell.
Jokes on you, I beat both of the joke levels and had fun
I've been playing this game 10 hours a day since launch. What do you think?
If you flick them downwards fast enough you can throw them in the trash at least.

>implying I won't play this level
I liked it, but some of the on-off stuff seemed a bit unintuitive, like the part where if you hit the on-off switch and block it off, you have to go back the way you came to change it back.
MM1 really honed in on encouraging creativity. You can tell the entire game was designed around that philosophy. The game has so many interactions that it encourages you to just mash things together to see what fits. Dragging power-ups on enemies or shaking them to see what they can turn into is honestly more preferable to just tapping them and opening a menu of possible states. There's not much to discover if you're already familiar with MM1.
I think creators are at a disadvantage because of this, too. So many levels just start with a loose mushroom because no one thinks to drag it on to Mario to start the level in that state. I've played levels that are completely broken because the creator doesn't know that Mario can wear Buzzy/Spiny shells on his head.
That being said, MM2 is still good. It just feels like such a huge step backwards thematically.

Great stuff user. It's the first SM3D level I truly enjoyed. The only thing I didn't like is that I felt like a mushroom or a closer checkpoint was needed for the part where you have to bounce multiple times on the pirhana's plant head near the end, since it's pretty trial-and-error based.
I don't know what's worse - that this level exists, or that its jumps are designed better than 90 percent of MM2 courses.
how is this if i have no intent of creating any stages
This ones awesome, you really fleshed out the whole Thwomp physics thing on this and it makes me stoked for when I get to World 5 of my game to play around with the 3D World filter. Gonna play the rest of your levels and I've followed you.

Oh man I hate that switching to nighttime introduces annoying gimmicks for everything. The best you can do is nighttime forest and just set the acid to the lowest position. Aesthetically its dank af.
What kind of stylus are you guys using? Does that Apple Pencil work on the Switch?
It's nothing special. A bunch of red and invisible blue blocks. If you change the color, the word "cunny" will be displayed.

KWS-VJ9-3VG
I get where the devs were coming from with 3D World, though. They wanted something simpler and less complex than the other styles, which is a good decision on paper. Problem is the limited selection of items makes the levels too similar.
so deaths add to a levels clear rate, right?
do level restarts add to it too?
RXK WBQ T7G
Nah that would be Gato-Roboto free. Its short, but all of it is really good. I'm hoping for a sequel.
I have been having a lot more fun in this than in SMM1 though. In Mario Maker 1 I pretty much played it for a handful of hours then never played it again. Think I made like 2-3 stages that were really shitty and unfocused. Story mode and not having to unlock parts really helped my motivation to keep playing.

How the fuck do you puzzle makers come up with your puzzles? Do you think them up throughout the day? Do you just deeply understand the mechanics in a way we never will? Do you throw shit at the screen in a mess area until you're inspired by something you see in it? Literally, how do you come up with these puzzles? And I'm talking about those puzzle levels that really shine.
If someone wants to try out my levels, it would be appreciated.
Platforming adventure 1-1 (SMB3) HV8-SMS-YKG This one is a traditional style level
Bouncy Castle 1-2 (SMB3) 1KF-PJW-FNG This one is a themed level that really focuses on bouncy objects. This one also focuses on difficulty.
Mushroom world 1-3 (SMB 3) MGT-LSC-YVF This is another traditional style level
I think I am most proud of 1-1 and 1-3 for the traditional platforming style. All critiques are appreciated. Also, all my levels have two different paths in them too so that there is a bit of choice in there.
Is anyone else tired of these levels where you have on central door and then like 6+ other doors where you have to find key coins? They're so long

I've always been a fan of airship levels ever since SMB3 so here's my take on that type of level.
That was a good level, nice job dude. I have the same criticism as this guy though .
It was a little frustrating to have to repeat a relatively easy part (the spiny section, the blinking block jump, the ON/OFF spike things, etc) over and over just to have a single try at the piranha jumps. But overall very good level.
By the way, I was actually able to get through the spiny section after the second checkpoint as big mario thanks to some lucky timing, I was gonna try to cheese the piranha but it didn’t work lol

What does the little mountain icon in the top right of your uploaded levels mean? A couple of mine don't have it but some do.
I wouldnt say its to easy but there's just not a lot to it. Maybe you could try to expand on some of your ideas and make a level around that. Like that part where you have to follow the shell to break the block and get to the pipe. A lot of stuff you put in just seemed kinda pointless but I feel like you have some fun ideas, you just have to polish them a bit more and flesh them out.

Any time you want to use a shell from a canon for example in a style where mario can wear them as a helmet you need to make sure he can't take some unintended route by breaking hard blocks?
Why can't red and green koopas be turned into shells in the editor? (unless I've missed this feature somehow)

What I don't understand is why there isn't at least a second place finish
Is there a way to give a player a buzzy beetle or spiny helmet (or even a dry bone shell), and then create some kind of gate which they cannot cross without getting rid of it? I want to create controlled environments for puzzle purposes.

I found a skip which cut 5 minutes off my previous time. Way too easy if you ask me.
make some way in which they need to take damage in order to progress
It means the level has a clear condition.

Sanzu River
YT0-SJ5-9HG
This is loosely based on the Sanzu River from Touhou. You have to collect red coins while riding a seesaw across a poisonous river. I normally don't like forcing players to kill themselves if they miss a thing but being dumped into the river and being consumed by spirits for not having enough money kinda fits the theme. Plus the level is pretty short in case you do fuck up.
Marty the Thwomp's Prison
9RQ-YN8-G6G
I made a level centered around that caged Thwomp from Mario Kart 64. You have to work with him to solve a series of mini challenge rooms to escape Bowser's dungeon. I know the switch block is kind of overused but I had a story I wanted to tell with this level and I'm happy with the way it turned out.
Unbreakable blocks above
Two spikes below
One-high walking space so it forces the hit
then re-give them whatever powerup you want them to have - note that if they have a helmet, they can cheese their other powerups through with a crawl-dash.
I'm on the second checkpoint and I think I'm soft locked? I went through as big Mario but now I'm stuck
All in all I liked it. The way you decorated it was pretty neat and I liked the atmosphere you built. I think ou could do without the red coins since they dont really add much and the samurai sound blocks at the end kinda killed the vibe for me but overall a solid level 7/10 maybe it's too much on the easy side for my taste
Is this definitely the only way? It feels sloppy and with potential to go wrong.
My first stage 369-JKJ-JPF
Had to fix something and re-upload. Now you have to collect coins to complete the stage ontop of the standard not dying.
Anyone have any good side scrolling stages? I wanna make a side scroll next and have it not be shit like my first stage. and then i had to reupload my post
Thanks for the feedback. How should I go about fleshing out stuff? Just add more of it?
Oh dang, would you mind pointing out the skip?
I’ve really been trying to make levels that don’t outstay their welcome. It’s really easy to just keep adding more bits which make the levels really boring
its the only way i've found out so far, mostly because taking damage is the only way to get rid of those items
i hope a new way is discovered so i can enjoy implementing them into puzzles without have to make them get rid of it, for now though i prefer items you can pick up and hold
Second one sounds interesting just because of the narrative, too bad I can't access my Switch at the moment. I hope someone plays it and reports back here.
Right after the warp box is a mushroom and a pit with spinies blocking a door. If you grab the mushroom you can throw yourself into the spiny pit and abuse invincibility frames to get through the door. It skips the entirety of the section meant to get the POW block to clear the spinies. I managed to get my time down from 6 minutes to 30 seconds using this trick.
Oooooh fuck me I forgot to take the samurai sounds out. The red coins were just an extra thing but pretty much impossible to miss. Thanks for the play user. I’ll try yours out.

Why do you have to beat a level without checkpoints before uploading it? Seems like a retarded stipulation. Even if you make your level unbeatable when a checkpoint is triggered, the player can always start over, so why force the level creator to go through more difficulty than the player?
>That boss fight at the end
Why?
Nothing makes me boo a level faster than a forced, slow, enemy-filled snake block section.
I played your levels the other day and I thought the first three levels were amazing. I didn't like the fourth one, but that is just because I am not personally a fan of those things that make you float. Keep up the great work user!
it is exactly to discourage people like you
Is there a way to mark courses as favorite or something?
not courses but you can favorite creators
>>swing castle
thanks for playing user
Oh right I promised you I was going to replay the level to check for coins, I'll do so right now
>Love original Super Mario Bros style
>New snow, jungle and desert themes are amazing
>Can't make a castle level because the 10 second music loop drives me mad
fair enough, I didn't like working with those wind things either. They're awkward as fuck to use and kept causing problems - I actually had to reupload the level due to issues they were causing. I don't think I'll use the wind things ever again.
WHAT IS THAT?
Well first off the first part of your level is kinda cryptic. I wasnt sure what it was what you wanted me to do because there was too much visual information that wasnt integral for the level. Like the koopa or the two missing blocks on the right. This is where some coins could provide some help so the players can understand where you want them to go, in this case, to the top after breaking the blocks.
Next, we have the pirahna plants. There are only a handful and not in a challenging or interesting way, they are just there.
I like the way you positioned the checkpoint, you could use that for another level where there are some hazards or something that you had to avoid in order to drop to it.
After that I was confused since I didnt find or missed another way to progress. The pipes to the right lead to nowhere so that may be a bit misleading.
It also looked generic. Maybe if you built upon a specific theme like an enemy a hazard or a power up you could make everything come together. Maybe you could rearrange stuff in a visually pleasing way.
Good luck on your future projects!
might be slightly different since you last played it as it was reuploaded to fix some things

I'm trying to make a challenging level but with checkpoints to greatly reduce the overall tedium/difficulty. So what fucking sense does it make to not let the creator use the checkpoints that he specifically laid out to reduce difficulty?
It would make no sense, since that would mean that you could game over with no chance of winning if you come across such a level with only one life left in endless mode.
You can also create set-ups where you need to die after the checkpoint to clear the course, pretty sure.
I removed the checkpoint from my first map simply because if i didn't get to use it the players don't.
SMB3 = SMW > SMB1 = SM3DW >>>>>>> shit >>>>>>> NSMBU
Sanzu River's code didn't work.
If you guys want your $ I need you to tell me which email to send it to I sent one of you and it wasnt tied to a paypal.
I assume the part where you have to turn On to trigger the vine, then Off again so you can reach the platform. I thought about making the jump smaller or just replacing those with clouds. Maybe even ice as a heads up about the jumping part coming up.
>Even if you make your level unbeatable when a checkpoint is triggered, the player can always start over
that would defeat the reason for having a checkpoint to begin with, which is why you're forced to clear from them.
I'm sorry user, it's hot garbage.
>poison shrooms come randomly from nowhere from the sky
>miss the on/off block and have to deal with riding the slow ass tilt platform again
>tiny platforms that don't help and can barely be jumped between
>forced blind walljump into shroom
Hard for all the wrong reasons
The first part is unnecessarily difficult. The snake block section is slow and sucky. The p switch room is also very annoying and needlessly punishing. Never force a player to wait for a slow ass koopa to jump off of with waist high water fucking up your jumps.
It's not good, you really need to learn what makes a difficult course fun to play. This is not.
this, right now it's absurdly limiting and I saw that as someone that makes courses with only 2 or 3 elements in them.
Reply to this post and I'll play your level. I'm
HOW ARE YOU FAGGOTS LIKING SLOPES SO FAR
Well I played the downloaded version and I found all the coins in there - 10 required the Thwomp moving the wind blower thingy, 30 required an alternate path to break open the side wall, and the 50 was following the lower Thwomp path, All of them were fair in their difficulty and should be easy to find for anyone specifically looking for secrets. If the changes are major then obviously this information is useless.
Is online multiplayer unplayably laggy for anyone else or is my internet just that bad?
My first course definitely has a theme to it now. Firebars, red koopas, coins, and trampolines with a coin requirement to clear. I'd say the difficulty so far feels like a very hard normal, expert if you're goin for the course record. And it's halfway done. Only reason I haven't done more is cause my Switch ran outta power, so I gotta let it recharge.
But they gave everyone free skips for this purpose. Skipping has zero consequence iirc, you don't lose a life from it in this game. So if you encounter a situation like that, and you really need to hang onto your lives, you're free to just skip.
if you get lucky you can get something other than mincrosoft powerpoint tier.
OP Here
I played it, nice but a little rough
Play mine, it's in the OP
It would be extremely frustrating for the player though.
What makes for a good water level?
that's assuming the player knows that the course cannot be beaten anymore, which might not be the case depending on how the course was laid out.
Free skip wont save you if you are on you last life.
It becomes literally impossible then if CP fuckery screws you and makes the level impossible start-to-finish.
please tell me
the tiny platforms are there so the shrooms will fall off the tilty platform, not to skip the autoscroll section. In all the test I did I never ran into the walljump shroom problem. It spawned so far back you'd have to miss the walljump like 4 times before it'd get to you.
not making one.
>reached 5000 maker points
aw yiss been waiting all day for this, thanks anons I couldn't have done it without ya
so do the challenges from the first game not exist in this one? I 100% completed the story mode and I loved all the developer created bonus stuff.
They're a big guy
>NINTENDO WON'T LET ME MAKE TROLL STAGES THAT SOFTLOCK YOU IF YOU HIT A CHECKPOINT WHY DO THEY HAVE TO FUCKING BULLY ME LIKE THIS?
fuck off you fucking fag
Tried beating it, but somethings were inconsistent and killed me randomly. I got the rhythm of the second part with the piranha plants, but the blinking blocks had a jump that was too tight with the spike block. I noticed that in the 3D world mode those blocks can kill you from a ridiculous range. Also there’s some fire piranha plants at the beginning that would move into a position that would just suddenly kill me when I ground pounded downwards. Idk what happens after the clear pipe, but the sudden spikes killed killed my mood for the map :/
If you're being this highly critical then show me an example of a hard and well designed level that you've made so I can know if I can take your criticism seriously or not.
>strawmanning this hard
Not like a fag like you could beat my courses anyway, even with a checkpoint.

Following the first level, you'll be practicing your jumps and timings. Space is limited.

Castle level, lava is deadly and first encounter with Bowser. No enemies, just lava.
These are meant to be like traditional Mario levels, so they will probably be super simple.

Already did, was bretty good

Thwomp Swamp Romp. Pretty easy standard level with a simple gimmick and an alternate route. My second stage, and the first one i'm kinda proud of. Let me know what you think if you play it.
W69-PQQ-VVG
Is there any point in playing Endless Challenge? I just tried it for the first time and all the levels I played sucked. It was like a tour of every way in which a level can be boring and stupid. From a guy putting in a couple messages telling you to go play his other levels, from an auto Mario level that immediately breaks, then next a level with ridiculously long clear pipe travel with standard jump platforming.
T30-CHH-1WF
Underwater level with the simple gimmicks of finding switch boxes and avoiding nonmoving obstacles. Posted it before but I had to fix a soft lock and put in a better checkpoint for casuals.
K9K-M0R-QDG
Kind of a variety of less commonly seen platforming based on precision and timing. Generally pretty simple, maybe one bullshit section.

>worried my level will be too easy
>literally minimal threats and basic platforming
>1% clear rate
What?
wew, pretty tough. surprisingly good level though. I agree with the other guys about the plant at the end, however I feel like if you gave a mushroom right there then it would lead to the player just tanking the hit and then running through. unsure on how else you could have done it but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I thought it was a really good use of 3D World's unique tileset. good level.
One question I have is why you decided to give a mushroom before the hammer bro when you won't be able to get past the next platforming section with the timing block and the spike block with it anyway because the ceiling is too low?
>the levels suck
skip them
You can get to the end of the level with that mushroom; if you have the GRIT. you duck walk; and you are rewarded with a free pass on the piranha toward the end of the level.
Thanks!
You don't know you have to walljump until you scroll the screen up, which causes the shroom to spawn. It just feels awkward is all I'm saying.
I gave positive support here and somewhere else. I normally don't like to be super critical but that was genuinely an unpleasant level, I'm sorry. Watch some of yamamura's lessons. It just felt cheap instead of fun. Water that only gives one/two blocks leeway isn't very nice to work with in general.
I don't try to design "hard" levels, but players may interpenetrate them as such, difficulty is a scale per person. My levels are here: Also I trust you to actually play a couple and not just boo them out of spite (I didn't boo your level, shame on you if you so).
Entombed Treasure is probably my longest and most difficult course, it was also my first. Trees ‘n Bees/Somewhere Under the Rainbow are probably the second most difficult I suppose.

I enjoyed Chance of Hail, it's well designed. Good job!
Also you're entitled to $10; email me the screen shot of your username and whatever email you want me to send me the money to through paypal; just an hour and a half left for the prize money. (anyone who beat it within the time frame is entitled to it)
anyone have a gif/webm of soundfrog dancing from Story mode?
I could use some feedback on this level. Vertical snow SM3DW. Just some (hopefully) comfy platforming.
Also here's a cat.
3SN-1C1-5GG
Maybe I should have tried long jumping. Oh well, I thought the piranha under the conveyor belt was fun anyway.
I don't have the game so I can't play your stage but that's a nice cat user.
How do you make a castlevania stage in SMM2?
M2Y-TPW-GQG climb tree to space, idek. easy/medium
All those interactions are in the game, you just don''t have to do something stupid like shake the enemy. And if you really don't know how something works, its called looking at the turotials or playing levels.
Can confirm. This user is a man of his word and makes interesting levels.

Any feedback is appreciated
Enjoying the course but you should consider making the top portion after the checkpoint a sub world so people can fall to their death. It's actually more convenient than falling all the way to the beginning of the level with full health.
I made an attempt at making a level that would be fun to speedrun. Very straight forward, make it so you can't die so if you're bad its not frustrating, you can just keep trying. Requires you to know how to do 3D World long jump.
PLEASE PLAY IT AND GIVE FEEDBACK

Reshilling my level 'cause it's still at zero plays.
Somebody pls
show me your levels and I'll try them out to raise them up.
I've been making since day 0, in fact I got the game over a day early due to a shipping error. I played a lot of SMM1 as well so I already knew the technical shit.
pretty dam good
the coin placements are still the same, all that changed was some stuff with the wind and a couple enemy placements (including bowser)
could use better indicators
Hrm, maybe I have the gap too wide then. the idea is you can see the shroom from the start and you either beat it or wait for it to pass. It's not supposed to be an offscreen kill
terrible
How did they pack so much soul into the sky themes?
Only had the 3DS Mario Maker before, so the first thing I did was remake my levels from there, and tune them up, then upload. They're untouched, so I hope someone can enjoy being the first to play them.

Sorry the new code for Sanzu River is 17V-0CL-7LG. It was my first level and it had a few flaws I wanted to fix.
that level was pretty cool.
How do you do the black grainy slow down effect?
thanks man, it's my first time. appreciate it!
Maybe also put some coins to indicate a walljump, like at an angle at the wall. Perhaps make the hole a block wider too. A big thing about vertical sections is that you need to force the player to scroll the screen up to see stuff, or else it feels cheap. This is also why I'm not a big fan of the first section, because there are times you can't see lakitu throwing the shrooms, only hear them, so you're unsure if you're about to be bodied.
I'd advise limiting the screen to only the bottom half and putting lakitu at the top where you can see him, then have an occasional parachute shroom in a section where the platform might be safer (not the switch areas). That way no obstacle comes from nowhere suddenly and can be predicted. Maybe make the ride not so long or have the platform fall onto another separate track so it doesn't feel awful when you miss the switches

"The Mariana Trench"
Mario dives to the bottom of the ocean to see what lies in the depths. Bioluminescent life will help guide the way, but is also deadly.
I've updated this map based on the feedback from some anons, as well as a relatively low completion rate. Changes are as follows:
>Added checkpoint flag in second area
>Extended second area to include secret ancient ruins
>Added a key and a secret door for an optional secret ending only obtainable by not dying and starting from checkpoint
>Increased the diversity of enemies
>Added some more "seaweed" to enhance the beauty of the map
Let me know what you all think!
red canon bullet block is fucky
I played it and I enjoyed seeing all the new stuff night brings! I will say, embarrassingly, I really died to the new boo ring mechanic and the longer chain chomp but overall it was pretty good. One thing I might recommend is maybe adding a mushroom at the check point.
My levels are things you could actually find in a Mario game. They have a purpose and a main idea behind them. Please enjoy them. They are really easy and fun.

I hope the thwomp got you -- my personal favourite bit of the course.
Yeah, that's a good suggestion, I sort of added in the checkpoint last-moment.
I also forgot to add arrows/coins indicating the strategy I found for the boo ring: if you get inside it, and edge yourself to the right, it will start moving and rotating and you can hamsterwheel your way across. Which is really fun to do, but I now realise I included literally no hints as to that being the intended route, whoops.
Thanks for playing, anyway!
Thanks! Finally got around to yours. Genuinely great level! Not often that I play a 3D World level that is actually good. Nice music choice too. I feel like it would fit as one of Galaxy's 2D segments. I also love that even having cleared it, I feel like it's worth a replay to see alternative paths liked and followed.
you can cheese that first pianha btw if you're fast enough
Aight, this is me.
Loved your thwomp level, it was surprisingly engaging, especially Marty helping you defeat Bowser after your freeing him. I felt like the boss fight was too long and easy though. I maybe would have put a checkpoint in between the challenges.
I do a job where if by some miracle 50 people complete my level $500 isn't really gonna hurt.... that's what? a big grocery shopping?

Then you earned it. I mean I don't mind 2 methods; as long as I can avoid soft locks and criminally unforgiving trials.
That's a pretty fun mechanic to base the level on!
The bit with the big bully, though, took me ages to complete (as in, by the time I did, I hit the time limit and died before the second checkpoint). I think it would have been kinder if you could get in the right position by bouncing on the cornered bully, instead of having to make the bully a little way away from the wall.
Oh ok, I didn’t realize that was you. I actually did play your very first level. I will catch up when I get back from work, sounds like a fun time.
imagine toadette naked
Wanted to experiment with clear pipes over lava, the traps are mostly avoidable, no pipes to instant death. the ending requires you to figure out which is the right path though so try everything
Thanks for the feedback
Considered doing that but I expected that would've been too easy, you're right though
thanks for the feedback. I tried tuning the jumps to not be bullshit, but I was definitely suspicious of some of the blink block sections. they did only kill me like 25% of the time when i was testing it, but maybe that's just from me knowing the pattern/timing so well.
I took both of them down one jump and fixed the fire pirahna glitch in the first area and reuploaded it.
new code is 97B-W8V-0MG
MNS-4DN-DPG
3DJ-BF6-LKF
both have similar concepts, two routes through the same area. one route goes to the goal, the other takes you to the beginning of the other route. Criticism welcome and needed!
it was a good level, I had problems with it at the beginning since I didn't even know the mechanics of those bombs in 3D world.
Other problem I found is that the target blocks you have to hit in the section where you have to make the bullet do a full circle give you too little margin of error. I knew what I had to do but I couldn't pull it off.
I also feel the first checkpoint is too far away from the starting point and the second one is too close to the first.
almost forgot that the red cannons didn't always fired the bullets when they were supposed to. Maybe a glitch of 3d world? I don't like that theme much at all desu
also check out my level if you have time
