Mario Maker 2 Course Exchange Thread

Bit Crusade 3 is an adventure series of Mario levels that play in the traditional sense (scaling difficulty, hidden rooms and level theming). So if you like traditional Mario stages you’ll probably like these. The “game” will eventually utilize all 5 styles so there’s a little something for everyone. Every stage has five red coins hidden within that unlock a super bonus room at the end.

Start here:
1-1: Start of a New Journey V61-WT5-DPG

Newest Stage:
3-3: Resident Koopa: File #2
G61-HJY-CJF

Enter the world of survival horror and escape the mansion with your life intact. Lite Metroidvania akin to fusion, fairly linear once you get on the right path. There’s one well hidden room besides the usual mega bonus room at the end, see if you can find it.

Feedback is appreciated and returned. If you got a really good level I’ll likely make a short webm of it to showcase it. If you decide to take the plunge and play them I hope you enjoy them. If you complete everything up to the current stage let me know and I'll play all your levels if I haven't already.

Been poking around the thread, playin stages, and will be doing so for the next few hours.

SMB3 project is my attempt at making "a whole game" worth of levels in the SMB3 theme. The levels are very traditional, something that might have fit in the original game!

The levels are pretty short and easy so far, there's a few difficulty spikes on some levels but would still be considered very easy for Yea Forums standards. There are optional hidden red coins in the levels that drastically increase the difficulty if you're going for them!

1-1 New beginnings
WFY-YDL-T1H

This level is a nice introduction and showcases what I'm trying to do with my levels!

3-4 A haunted swim
05V-VGY-SQF

This is my latest stage, currently halfway through world 3! I expect to get boo'd repeatedly on my water levels but it's all good. They are coming to endless whether people like it or not!

Already at 23 levels... time really flies.

I try to play/like/comment on all your levels from Yea Forums but I am 100% sure I have missed some people, let me know if I forgot you!

The Madman's Mansion
"Late at night, Mario raids a madman's mansion to retrieve his stolen boot!"
Difficult: intermediate
Code: NR2 - XL1 - LDF

Finally finished my first level after a week of obsessing over every detail. Let me know what you guys think, because I need some constructive criticism.
It's a little long, but it's not kaizo-level challenging.

There's also 6 secret rooms, one of which is a reference to Luigi's mansion, and the other is semi-inspired by that one secret toilet room in paper mario.

I'll be playing the other stages in this thread too.

Just finished your course with 100 seconds to spare. It's tough to think of anything to say other than it's fun. Plus I almost always enjoy courses with key coins.

Finished this, really nice man. I'll admit I spent a good 2 mins trying to get that red coin on the lip at first until I figured out the true way to get it. Thought that was very clever. The level itself is pretty good too and I like how it looked. Left you a silly doodle.

This is so hard holy shit

It’s definitely more fun to play it like a mini-collectathon and go for all the red coins than it is to just go from start to finish. It’s good though, if a little plain.

Sweetest comment ive gotten. What do you recommend to make it less "plain"?

Looks like the cabal nuked the 1 dollar guy in the last thread. Don't anger them.

Okay, so I got a ton of feedback on this level in this last thread and I hopefully addressed all of the issues anons were saying they had. Please let me know if there's other stupid shit in the level.
>BX9-HCS-CNG

snake block skyway was a nice short level, kinda wish you expanded upon the idea a bit more though.

Attached: download.jpg (225x225, 6K)

I really enjoyed Resident Koopa, it's easily your best stage. The only blemish on it is that the exit of the fireflower room is poorly communicated. Placing a light source next to the door might have been a good idea.

Very fun, your use of darkness/light was really good. People often overdo the dark but I felt like I was descending into a dark basement as I went down. Also the bones breaking as they came out of question boxes was a nice touch!

My only criticism was it felt a bit too sprawling and could have benefited from tightening it up just a little bit... but every room was fun so nothing comes to mind as "easily expendable".

Played this earlier, you did a great job cleaning up the spam at the end while still keeping it engaging

he had it coming

Golden Goomba Desert
V6J-DJJ-1FG
So hot, and dangerous! But oh so many coins!

Semi-solid platforms as decorations, sound effects, and some secrets can go a long way to give a level some identity. Another thing is to try and have your level tell a story of some sort, and tell that story through gameplay, sound effects, sticking to a certain theme of enemies and obstacles, and the visuals.

(You)

Thank you, I hope just coins as a reward were worth it.

Oh ok. I actually tried doing those things except sounds in this level, guess I gotta get better at it. Thanks user

Was that really your first level? It's fantastic. The aesthetics and everything. 10/10 job, user.

Fuckin Parasite Park man.
It's great. But I don't want to touch it again, these WR attempts just now made me nauseous and my fingers hurt.

I have nine stages. Here are three:

Soles of the Departed
C80-VJX-WJG
The first of a trilogy with goomba shoes in perilous situations.

Defeat the Fleet
8D1-MTQ-HJG
Airship night level with bombs and a (hopefully) fun albeit fairly easy Bowser fight.

Desert Station Infiltration
NM8-80Q-LTG
Intruder alert! Fight to survive! Can you take down the mothership?

Haven't had a chance to check my notifications, but I'll play some levels later tonight. Excited to start Fire Emblem, but I'll definitely put some time into Mario Maker first.

Teamwork Is the Way

X9P-0W0-WQF

New puzzle level. Let me know what you think. I did my best to make sure there was no way to cheese it.

its not 3d you retard

don’t give them replies

I can't bring myself to try and retake it. I'm not sure I can beat 1'42. good job :P

I was so close to giving up on your time right now. Worst thing is what always messed up my run was the very end, the boss fight. I'd kick the spring away, or not bounce right, or something.
Unironically got a headache now, that was too rough. But thank you so much for the fun

A-tier level user

Here's my maker ID! I have 13 courses
DVG-TLG-VYF

I like to experiment with different types of levels, but the kinds I've come to revisit are classic-style courses based loosely on the limitations of Mario 1, and speedrun courses in the 3D World theme that have a timer under 50 seconds. I've also been trying to get myself into making less linear levels, as you'll see in Unfinished Fleet and Banzai Canyon.

Please give me feedback, I don't have many people to share these with personally.

If you are big and land on the trampoline just right, you can clear the last jump without taking damage or having to pick up the trampoline.
This allows you to enter the boss with two powerups, which means that you won't need to use the trampoline for the coins. i don't know if it's worth it to save a mushroom for this, but I am willing to bet neither of you explored this possibility.

CCD-M6W-LRG
RE2 Mr. X inspired level

I died about 30 times more than I should have doing Chimp Mountain. That was the saddest clear I ever had, feeling mortified. Gave you a like of course.

Course itself was fine, not even that long, I liked it and those swinging chomps sure make for tricky to predict things to spin off.
Now I need sleep cause I clearly can't play anymore.

Spiny Invasion - XGF-56Q-QPG
You throw crates to make a path in a sea of spinies. Short and pretty easy.

They don't exist, so don't question it goy.

Thanks! I didn’t want to go crazy with the bullet bill ramps because it was surprisingly easy to break the level with them, and testing what was already in the level to make sure you couldn’t break the elevator in any way took a little while.

Thank you :)
I'm kind of a obsessive perfectionist, so when I upload a level, I have to make sure everything works and looks right.
Yeah, my first smm2 level, I used to make smm1 levels but never uploaded them.

More clear conditions when? I want a "Free X Chain Chomps" condition.

Has anyone managed to beat this yet? Tips please

I beat it, but forgot to record, sorry. I did it in a way that the WR should be unbeatable, though. No one should ever have a reason to play this monstrosity again.

If you're going to do bowser fights, it's good to have an alternate way to damage him. Like a pipe that gives out shells or bob-ombs. It would still make the fight as difficult, but not impossible once the player runs out of a limited resource like the fire flower

Paratroopa Towers
VGS-N7B-72G
My first stage, it's a pretty basic one that focuses on wall jumps and jumping off parakoopas. I want to decorate it more.

what happened to the google doc?

I just beat it. It's really just luck with good positioning and timing, but as soon as you fall you need to just start spamming fireballs as close as possible. As soon as you beat the first one, then just be patient with the second one.

This kinda stuff gets deleted bro

I'm glad you enjoyed the level. it's a reprise of one of my first concepts in SMM1, originally being an SMW airship course. I find New Soup served this well with a handful of new movement options, on top of the structure simply being more focused than my original swinging chomp level.
If there were something that even I take issue with it's the fact that the level doesn't really pace its rest periods as well as an official level
That would be sick. I'm surprised we don't have conditions for hitting question blocks or breaking blocks. I also want one for avoiding killing enemies or even just "don't defeat [specific type]". I feel those are really basic but for some reason they just aren't there. Also do we have a condition for carrying a galoomba to the end?

These types of courses are more entertaining to watch than play.

Lengthy ice course which uses the builder power up.As idiot/bads proof as possible.

WHS QNM XGG

Is there any site that shares codes of well designed/challenging levels?

Done. I don't know if the Mole Wall at the end is necessary but I still appreciated it.

A lot of these are designed to be done ONLY the way the creator did them and break with jank any way else, so it becomes more about trial and error guessing the creator's inputs. Then you have people leaving no room for error on top of that so you get punished for their lack of creativity to design a level that supports any specific way of playing but their own.

That being said this stage looks perfectly fine and basically all of it can be done on reaction. It seems like just a decently hard mario stage, not a "fun to watch, bitch to play" deal. (Though I haven't played it myself to check for ass-cancer.)

There are some interesting ideas but it felt very unclear what I was supposed to be doing. I think you need to use coins as guides more, and consider adding a safe "tutorial section" so the player can get a grip on what is going on before diving in.

Really digging the look

By this point in thread do people even get their levels played? Anyways here are my newest 3 levels.

UK Heatwaves (NFT-6Q4-FNF) - I don't know how describe a level based off the UK Heatwave its like making a level off Global Warming

Goombrat Rampage! (073-NKM-J4G) - You go around a level killing Goombrats in unique ways. Its okay because they're Goombrats.

The Subterranean Fortress (D5R-X3K-KHG) - Most likely the best of the newest three that focuses in Monty Moles and puzzle solving.

What determines the amount of points you lose in multiplayer versus? I keep alternating between about -3 and -13

Thanks. Pretty much the entire overworld area's figured out as far as layout, now it's just peppering it with engaging elements. There's also gonna be a sub-area but I'm not sure if I wanna make the theme "Underground" or "Bowser's Castle". Bowser's Castle would make more sense, but the music's grating.

Will play levels ITT starting from the bottom.

If you don't have anything planned out yet, then personally I'd go with vertical desert, since it has that convenient background. I know 2 screens of horizontal space isn't much, but you can always use doors.

Damn, making boss fights that aren’t just Boom Boom, Bowser Jr, or Bowser in an arena themed around the stage gimmick are complicated. I’m attempting to make one where you try and crush a rocky wrench with bullet bill blasters, but I dunno how to incorporate the level theme into it effectively.

I was about to say the same thing as >471880146 I had a somewhat similar situation with a course before and having the same theme for rooms within a larger castle really sells it. Vertical is nice for that, and there is no jarring music changes.

Border them with "ground" terrain across entire x/y axis so the camera stays focused just on the room and give windows with gaps in semi-solid or the barred semi-solid.

Being forced to fight with a fire flower is basically just a really boring gimmick though.

That's true, but vertical just isn't the kinda whimsy I was lookin for with the winged goomba shoe/winged stiletto, I wanted horizontal segments where you fluttered across, at least that's what's comin to mind right now. Plus I already had a huge vertical sub-area with my Jump 'n' Bump v2 course.

I really wish there were a way to make a floor that you fall through but enemies don't.

SMB3 throwback. Hint: the pipes are color-coded.

...

never used twitter, how does this shitty website work if you wanna shill your levels through switch screenshots? do you add a hashtag and it shows up on the main mario maker 2 page?

Fuck you're retarded. I haven't laughed at something that stupid in a long time.

Haven't played BK but I could tell this was made with love.

SMB3 is a horrible game style because the semisolid platforms are samey in too many level themes. Those boxes and crate things don't even fit in anywhere and look awful if used as an interior background.

Sure, since I played these first. Fun levels.

Here's each one of my music stages so far:

Deltarune - Jevil's theme: 9FP-HBT-6GG
Shrek: PX6-RH0-CFG
Clannad - Dango: NFF-08H-VGG

I pandered super hard with those first two, sorry about that.

So I found an interesting thing involving Bullies. Normally, you can't kill them with a Hammer, but if they are on a breakable block and you hit both the Bully and the block at the same time, it kills the bully as if you were hitting the block from below like it were a question block or brick block. Meaning you could put a key inside a Bully on top of some ice blocks or hard blocks and the only way you'd be able to kill it is a hammer or bob-omb. Thwomps, Banzai Bills, and Magikoopas don't cause it to die, either. It's pretty weird desu

Eyyyy nice! How far along are you? Got a favorite yet? How many stages have you found all the red coins in?

I hear that man, its why I come here in between making my own, lotta creativity amongst you guys and it helps recharge my own juices. And no problem, they were fun!

Standard platforming. Any feedback would be nice

Bullies in general seem to have a lot of interesting interactions compared to most 3D World objects, it’s odd.

what are some other cool ones? I'm making a Bully based level and want to try some out

>still havent made a 3d world stage
Only kaizo levels seem to work well in it

I haven’t found anything too crazy but just in case you don’t know here’s three things
>big bullies smash through lots of blocks immediately while regular bullies bounce back anytime they break a pair of blocks and need to start running again
>winged bullies can fly back up to a platform if they start falling and need an extra jump to finish the job
>bullies can be attracted from a pretty long vertical distance so you can “guide” them in a way
I think I might use that last one to try and remake a botched level I tried with another enemy because it’s exactly the problem I was having with the stage.

Does anyone remember that fag trying to get everyone here to mass Boo courses from resetera

I'm actually trying to make a "bully escort" mission myself. I found out they can trigger P-switches among other things.

I tried to make a level where you would sort of “control” the spring enemy, but the problem was that it was too easy for it to lose track of the player and led to it just being unfun.

Can someone map out the star spamgled banner music in note blocks for me. This shit is way too hard.

user, I...

There's no real easy way to test a map in the middle of a course that relies on a lot of shit being triggered early on in that part of the map yeah?

0FV-QWV-MVG
They're Coming For You

0/40 so far on clears. I didn't intend for it to be ridiculously hard or anything. It's a short obstacle course where you're chased by rotten mushrooms and you're in cramped hallways to make it harder to move/dodge stuff. I was considering giving a super mushroom at the beginning but that might've made it a bit too easy? I dunno. Was never much of a course maker, but if it sounds interesting feel free to look.

Test it from the beginning.

May have said the fuck word a few times but I had fun.

this is really well-designed, but i feel like it's wasted on the SMB1 style. it could have been much prettier in SMB3 or SMW

Doppelville G2F-BDG-FFF
A Mario course in the style of Sonic. Hold right and get all the coins in 50 seconds or less.

My new course - beeg mario
DHQ 9R7 XPG

I finished my Ghost House. It's not a puzzle type, save for a little P-Switch action at the beginning. Instead, you choose from one of three paths to the end, focused on basic platforming.

I'm really interested in feedback, since this is more of a proof of concept and I know I'll want to tweak things. Are there any parts that are too frustrating? Is each micro-section too short to be fun? Thoughts and comments, please.

>Coffin Fits
>X9R-KK3-HDG

Did you actually not consider those paths?

Sad to see what looks like a fun course get ruined by the maker forcing the player to play perfectly.

Precarious Poison Platforms - TNK-7PY-RWF

I played around with what I could hide in poison in this one. Some pretty complex contraptions I spent way too long on. I won a level competition with 75 entries with this level. The beginning desyncs if you land on the very left of the first cannon but you basically have to be trying to break it for that to happen.

The Treasure of Treetop Temple - N70-110-DDG

A tree "temple" using SMB3's airship theme with a unique on/off gimmick I've never seen. I made it so the level looks like it works going up and going down. Came in like 2nd or 3rd in the same weekly competition with this one and lost to some shitty no-effort level that uses an editor glitch to look cool.

Spent about a week on each of these levels. I'd appreciate some plays.

>Our Friend the Bomb
What's the puzzle?
Figuring out how to carry the spring all the way to the end?

New one! NRJ-7L4-SHF
Consider it a sequel to Chomp Mountain, another sky level where you bounce on enemies, but that's where I'd say the similarities end.

And now for some reviews since I think we all deserve a bit of attention
Goombrat Rampage had some really cute moments, I like the first and last goombrats in particular.
UK heatwaves could have had a better confrontation with the Sun, I feel
Subterranean Fortress seems underdeveloped. I do like how the boss gives both the player and the opponent an audience, gives it a wrestling match feel
I played Treacherous Skies 2 and couldn't find out what to do to get to the orange note block. I also feel the level was a bit monotonus, its difficulty curve is a bit wack.
The first level is better if a bit memorization heavy. I also didn't complete it but I got to the part where you spin jump shellmets.
I guess Kaizo levels aren't for me
You made a classic style level so I felt a need to review it.
NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. I love it a lot.
I played See-Saw Canyon Rise earlier today and forgot to say anything! Really cool core mechanic, never thought about doing that with See-Saws.
Ambiguous title and Peach-posting got my attention. A nice level for the Mario vets you're sure to find here on Yea Forums, though I consider the ending sloppy. I'd axe the area with giant thwomps and magikoopas entirely and simply shorten the level, while also cutting the time limit to 50 seconds. I don't know what the giant beetle pipe is for either.

also wanted to reply to
I feel like SMB3 is the only game style I can't find a niche for. SMB1 limits the player the most, SMW lets you throw things upward , NSMBU has the most fluid movement, and 3DW has a ton of exclusive elements on top of its moveset being the most diverse. What do you use SMB3 for?

Attached: file.png (469x473, 299K)

>What do you use SMB3 for?
Pure nostalgia. It's the game I played the most, so it's "Mario" to me. Conversely, I never had an SNES, and so I'm not all that used to SMW. But I'll admit that it's kind of bland, gameplay-wise, compared to what came later.

t. doesn't understand what "cheese" means

05Q-Y80-DWG a little, almost automatic lvl i made hope you guys like it, was a first shot at such design.

Thanks for feedback.
I always liked the SMB1 style as i prefer the simplicity.
That and I'm a retro nut.

I have a little bit of cheese in some of my harder stages but I'm okay with it because it's the kind of "if you can pull it off and find it you deserve it" cheese.

Finally finished it! it took me until 4:30 in the fucking morning, but I finished it.

Bully Trapping in the Icy Mines: B43-B3X-82G

Copy of level 1-1, but with Piranha Plants everywhere. I had to get creative to get around the enemy limit. Could be fun to speedrun, idk

Also, I updated the prison escape / dry bones shell level I posted here 2 weeks ago based on your feedback. Checkpoint placement is better now and it should be more forgiving. Still pretty hard, though. Check it out here: JTQ-T4C0YG.

I've been looking around but does anyone have a list of things that were added to this one that weren't in the first?

Wait we mass Boo-ing courses from resetera? Neat, I'm in.

I have a level that isn't tagged multiplayer and it has 12 multiplayer plays, is that weird? It only has 40 singleplayer plays so more people have seen it in versus than singleplayer.

Yo that was an awesome stage!
Your creativity with weapons was amazing. Cool Boss fight, too. I get a Metal Gear Solid vibe from it.
I didn't quite get the theme, what did you mean by the fact that the goombas were brothers? They all seemed like unrelated enemies to me. Still cool

That suicide bomber mole was hilarious. I drew a doodle because I love him so much.

G8S-0M7-1TG

Invasion of Bowser's Airship:
A standard level with some bosses along the way (maybe even Bowser himself!)

Thanks user, that means a lot!
Lore: The story is about 2 goomba brothers, the one at the beginning is overprotective and trying to prevent you from entering the dark depths of the mansion, where his disabled brother lives. When you're in the depths you find out the disabled brother is actually friendly and helps you get through the level. But at the end you have no choice but to get him killed in order to proceed. So at the end the goomba realized you killed his disabled brother, hence the screaming as he's firing his cannons at you. I was trying to give the impression that the 2 big goombas are the same all throughout and keep following you throughout the level. I'm glad you still enjoyed it despite not getting the theme.

Now that's some heavy lore.

>user couldn't understand the deep and complex lore of a mario maker 2 level

Just uploaded this level, The Trials of Mario. Should be fairly straight forward. A set of rooms, in each room you get a powerup and need to use it to get to the key and door in time.

Please tell me how win

Anyone tried this?

>Telling people to expect frustration then wondering if anyone tried it

What? It's far from impossible, just takes some patience.
Too easy levels are boring. I'd say this is between Normal and Expert.

>trial and error
>fun

It is when respawns are nearly immediate and there's a constant sense of learning what to do right when you try again in 5 seconds.
Overcoming bullshit is incredibly satisfying.

>0MH-R3B-H0G

I'm shit at thinking mechanics so I think is a miracle this level isn't worse. Some parts are a little hard but I tried to be fair.
All feedback is welcome.

>pick-a-door is fun guise!

Oh. There's no luck involved, only skill and reflexes.

I want to play levels for fun, even if they're challenging I want it to be fun. I don't want to play a game to get mad.

Difficulty is fun. But agree to disagree.

>difficulty is fun
play the tutorial

Just tried it.
Got to the part with the blue snake blocks and that's where I'm going to call it quits.
Messing up even once means having to do the part with the 10 burners back to back over again and I am not going to waste my time on those again.

Difficulty can be fun if the challenge is fair.
Basically, so long as the player thinks "That was on me / I can do this better next time" it's fine. If they feel like it's RNG bullshit or you kill them with offscreen sniper thwomps or pick-a-door traps then no one will find that very fun.

Exactly so trial and error should literally never be a part of a level. It should always be clear what the player should do.

Reminder that you get -1 maker score for every 5 times your course is skipped in Endless
And that you gain +1 maker score for every text or stamp comment your course receives and +3 for every hand drawn comment.

literally nothing you said is true

>Difficulty is fun
Nobody is disagreeing with that, but being frustrated is not fun.

>cat mario was fun

Or course not. But overcoming it is incredibly fun.

reply to the wrong person?

why not play / make kaizo instead of tedious trial and error shit then?

You were over halfway through, and honestly the hardest part of all of it is before the first checkpoint.

You're saying that learning is tedious.
Why does everything have to be easily cleared and/or automated?
I'm not even a good player myself and I had to beat the entire thing without checkpoints just to upload it. I struggle with most Expert levels. So this one really, really isn't so bad.
Like come on my dudes, most of you ITT are legitimately better players, you should easily be able to finish it.

A level can be hard without tedious trial and error shit and would be alot better for it.
>I'm not even a good player myself and I had to beat the entire thing without checkpoints just to upload it.
If you already know the solution to trial and error shit then how is this even supposed to mean anything. I haven't played your level and I don't intend to because you are clearly a retard who doesn't know how to design shit.

I'm gonna guess you never played Impossible Mario, the two best Mario Bros hacked levels on earth. This is inspired by it.
Anyway I'm done arguing. All I can say is get good.

I'm not going to spend 30 seconds playing the waiting game so I can have another chance at the level.

Been using this since a week after mm2 launch , seems like the ultimate controller for this game and down well, works well for cuphead too.

The buttons are perfect and this models dpad is super stiff like a nes dpad, (didn't care much for my friend SNES pro one) tried it for fighters and it's kinda meh tho.

Attached: 71vsobkUQbL._SX342_.jpg (342x342, 10K)

Impatience can be learned away.

And levels can be skipped

You're not wrong about that.

Also using the sticks is awkward, you gotta reposition ur hands for sure, sticks seem fine for dark souls at least, worst part about this controller is you cant wake up the console with it.

But man, these buttons. Bliss, shoulders and triggers are decent too. Dpad is tight af

Rumble is kinda men but at least its there

Then don't say "prepare to be frustrated" and expect people to want to play it, it's not that complicated to understand.

Played it, pretty fun Gauntlet level. Fair Checkpoint. Took me a while to get how to do the boot room, though.
Gonna try to beat it in one go

Just tried 1-1 and 1-2 and gotta say I love this! This is what I wanted to see going into MM2, super comfy levels that are like the original games. I downloaded your world 1 courses to play with my sister, we're going for all the coins!

People play and love games directly created to be frustrating all the time. They're even rather popular, because beating them is very satisfying.
Getting Over It, Golfing Over It and Pogostuck come to mind.

those are shitty youtuber bait games that like 0.01% of people actually like

So popular = good?
Let's all go play Fortnite and Skyrim

Oh. Okay. I don't think we can come to an agreeable conclusion.

Regardless noone wants to play tedious bullshit. You'd understand that if you lurked for more than a millisecond and saw how people react to troll levels which are learning based frustration levels. But people do like actually well designed difficult levels and even kaizoshit.

Just realized you are the guy who made the shell riding stage! I wonder why you don't have more likes, since your stages seemed to be pretty fun while being a fair challenge.

This is a redo of a previous thread level I made since I left a star to help people take the easy way out but the only clears were ‘dev’ stars, and we had a mishap where someone responded for me to make me seem like a dick. Here’s the dollar upfront for beating my level, thank you.

It’s not a dev star, I made sure that part is workable without it, but I hid power ups everywhere for you to find and use. You’ll need some of them.

I know you’re the one who responded for me and this is just an act, what’s wrong with you)

fuck off schizo

I've had 0 ideas for a while... any tips?

sometimes i wish i didn't care whether my levels are actually any good, i made one (1) level and i think it's pretty alright but now i'm completely stuck on motivation. i wish i could just spunk giant winged bowsers across the screen like a ten-year-old narmsayin

Make a troll level, beatable without cheaty stars and hidden shit. Post it and I'll world first.

watch some videos or play levels for inspo

Recreate something you like but Mario it up. Being clever takes practice / inspiration from other levels.

Maybe you’re just not using your noggin enough? Not all hard levels that use stars and hidden items aren’t beatable without it, think outside the box a little

That will be one dollar.

Maybe you're not?
I just like beating all those "impossible" troll levels. The ones that specifically say they're troll levels and have enemies drop on your head at spawn.
But having to search every crevice for a hidden star or autowin escape route as a result of the level itself being made to literally be unwinnable otherwise, is dumb.

Actually pretty fun. Felt like my fault when the first thwomp sniped me. Some of the sideways thwomps were unpredictable, and the level overstated its welcome for a bit, but overall a good level.

Yeah except for the part where if Carl or Poo make trolls everyone is like "haha oh wow that was so funny, great troll LOL"
But if anyone else does it it's instant boo&skip cancer and everyone hates it

>Koopa Industrial Works
>X97-5CM-4GG
Is this a troll level? It certainly feels like one.

Why? It's all pretty basic platforming, and there are powerups in plenty of spots.

And let's not forget that star in a hidden block near the first flag..

There's no star. There aren't even any hidden blocks. A star wouldn't even be all that helpful. Did you even play the level?

no lol

All in all you can do this in 30 secs once you got it set up.

I thought it was somewhat hard to tell where you're supposed to go. And there's a door that drops you back at the start half way through the level.

why not now?

Ask kindly.

>tfw building a level right now
>not sure if I should give it a checkpoint or not
>on one hand a checkpoint will bump the clear rate by a lot
>on the other hand I wanted this to be a "do it all in one go" kind of thing

I knew all the answer to the puzzles and I didn't do a single one of them, I just cheesed my way through the level.

if in doubt put a checkpoint. noone has ever complained that there were too many checkpoints

I guess you are right, if in doubt a cp is probably better

>I thought it was somewhat hard to tell where you're supposed to go.
Yeah, the level's based around exploration, so it's less linear than most. But there are coin trails used pretty abundantly to lead you through various parts.
>And there's a door that drops you back at the start half way through the level.
The tube to the fifty coin? You can jump right back up it. It also gives you a quick route back to the start to keep looking for red coins if you make it to the locked door without all five.
There's only one puzzle, and it's the whole first area of the level. Progression is impossible without figuring out what to do. There aren't multiple puzzles with answers. Did you not actually play the level, either?

>Did you not actually play the level, either?
I just did a triple jump to the right off the top.

Whatever the last area was, I didn't do that either. I just picked up a shell the Kameks spawned and busted a hole in the wall.

I got WR by "not actually playing the level"

Everytime I try this the twitter account gets locked and demands my phone number.

Thank you for playing it!

Busting a hole in the wall using the kameks is one of the ways to clear the level. That's why I put a pipe that spawns them near the exit. The jump to the yellow pipe isn't cheese, either, it's the secret exit. That's why there were all the coins and one-ups in the hallway it leads to.

Really nice stage
and fuck you for making me kill the brother, I demand a super secret hard alternate route where you can spare him

>The jump to the yellow pipe
I jumped to a door on a platform.

Then you were one jump short.

The point is I didn't do a single puzzle in the "puzzle" level. I'd call it a borderline blind jump, actually.

I really want to make levels but when I sit down and try to do it I just draw a complete blank. Can I fix it, or should I just accept that I'm creatively impotent?

>He didn't bring the spring with him to save the brother
O` Lawdy

everyone gets creative block sometimes. you'll eventually think of something cool.

I did bring the spring, but how can you save him with it?

If you do the puzzle, you unlock a platform that takes you to the door. The jump is meant for people doing multiple playthroughs or trying for WRs, for players to be like "Hey, I wonder if I can reach that platform faster another way now that I know where it is." The vast majority of players aren't going to do a blind running jump off the side of the level their first time through.

>The vast majority of players aren't going to do a blind running jump off the side of the level their first time through.
I promise you they will but if you can't accept criticism that's on you.

If you'd like one gimme the ID of the level you want one of and I'll make one for ya

If you're struggling to come up with an idea of your own, you could use a level from a platform game you've played as the base then build off of the concepts from there to use in your stage. Doesn't even have to be a Mario game

Your criticism is "I can complete a tough jump and avoid most of the level." to which I am saying "Yes, that's intentional." I even told you that if you do one jump further, you can cut down on the level even more by finding the yellow pipe. One of my favorite part of ghost houses in SMW was finding the secret exits that avoid the bulk of the level or cut down on clear time.

Now, if your criticism is that my secret exit is poorly handled, that's a whole different thing and I can work on that.

anyone make classic levels here? all i find in course tabs are shit levels

Yes, the best way to design a level is to have the player replay half of it to retry one hard jump.

what the fuck man

It's pretty much play it 24/7 since launch or you'll never be at the top

Is there a way to make it so the level starts with Mario in the air, and you have to jump at the start or you die?

no there is but why the fuck would you want that?

*isn't

Because it's how I want my level to start, dude. I want to make a hard level. How can I achieve this effect?

You can't.

you can start by going and fucking yourself.

The main thing is just to do a pass with inaccessible semi-solids at the end honestly for varied backgrounds.

Really good course. Great visuals and theming. I really liked the above,underwater divide. Difficulty felt on par with classic SMB3.

My criticism would be the pacing which felt a bit uneven. Specifically due to use of doors + pipes which would cause me to see the enemy I just killed respawn. I think you could simplify exits to just either a pipe or key door without much effecting how the level is played (and you could cut the On/Off blocks entirely).

Have the level start with the player entering a pipe or a door.

How many "pipe areas" can a level have in this one? I already have a pipe section planned for later, can I have multiple?

Attached: eagle-1.png (511x753, 649K)

4 doors in each area, and 10 pipes total, I think.

I agree about doors and on/off blocks (they are mostly there for aesthetics) but the pipe transitions are necessary for the water level transition.
What did you think about the boss fight? I think it's a but too much on the easy side but I wanted to avoid going overboard on enemy spam.

Thanks for the feedback, user.

Okay what's the trick at the end?

No way, how could this happen??

well its pretty unlikely

Little baby jump on the last platform. Usually from the middle of it.

The first weeks when there was 20 million courses backed up must have been a wild time on the new tab.

Not that dude, but I jumped, short bounced off the bottom banzai bill and pulled left to stall, then jammed my thumb back to the right and prayed.

There's a decent bit of leeway since the hitbox on them is just their head.

Seems like this would make you have to return to the opening sub-area to get to the win flag, which would put a huge crimp on my ideas, can you change where the win flag is?

>I want to make a hard level.
>unfairly killing the player without warning = hard

Probably dumb, but I have no idea what is supposed to happen at the end of this webm. Don't have time to complete this right now since I have to run the whole course every time I fuck up here, but maybe later.

I felt like the on/off blocks took away from the aesthetic if anything. Boom Boom fight felt too easy (don't necessarily need enemies, could just add blocks to clutter jumping/dodging like SMB3 castles often did) but Bowser area was enjoyable as is.

Also just a general reminder anons- please play at least 2 courses from the thread if you posted anything. I'm seeing a lot of unfamiliar names as level creators but not seeing them in level player lists.

Not my most recent but I kinda want to shill it some more. Basically a night castle level with rising lava that you have to avoid with swimming.

thats not cabal policy. your level is probably just shit

they boo anything that isn't world because it's not the true Kaizo experience. Not that they can even perform kaizo tricks, but they want short 20 second SMW levels that make them feel good

>please play at least 2 courses from the thread if you posted anything
I don't think its right to police people for not playing courses. Just post good levels and idc. If I see one of my less played courses get a run from someone here then its likely I'll go through and play all of their stuff, but the main annoying thing is sifting through tons of frustrating garbage to find a good level to play, especially when people making frustrating garbage want zero feedback and are just looking for plays. Even if someone isn't playing anons' levels I will give them a (You) or webm if the course is interesting.

And again, like I said, if one of my less played courses gets played I will go through your levels and I'm sure lots of other anons do the same. That's like 100+ maker score right there if the levels are good, so if you are just looking for score it seems stupid to not play levels. Most of the people with high maker score here play lots of levels.

literally none of the people who get listed make levels like that

Great level user, really nice aesthetics in the level (esp how you used the hard blocks and single sky blocks)
Night castle is definitely underrated and you pulled it off well.

Really fun course, your use of Bonzai Bill to keep the pace fast was great. Would have been nice to have a "reset" door at the end of the final run in case you took damage/missed jump so wouldnt have to run back or kill self.

I actually have an older course you may find interesting also focused on the rolling mechanic. We enjoyable seeing the similarities and creative divergences we came to from same goal of using the roll mechanic.

I post some levels once a thread and then usually have to get through a work day or spend the daytime on weekends with my two-year-old, but I always come back and play a few to several courses starting with people who I see have liked mine in my absence. That said, I don't feel too bad if I don't get plays since half of the game is playing new courses, but obviously people enjoying your levels is one of the best experiences this game can offer.

So I guess in summation, you're right to suggest people play levels, but I hope everyone here can stay civil and not lose their temper. Not to say that you have though.

Everyone be cool.

4MQ-1SC-P2G

cart level that i tried to make a little like a dkc minecart level. first level so feedback is nice.

pretty fun, it's pretty frustrating to have a perfect run and accidentally stomp the Bill at the end, but there's not a whole lot to be done about that.

there have been times that I've posted my stuff in these threads at the very beginning and get 0 replies of feedback and maybe like 2 plays, and I don't even know if those are from here or just people finding them in random. I genuinely want feedback on my stuff and it really sucks when nobody gives feedback. People always say "just make better levels" but nobody ever wants to say when someone's doing something wrong or unfun, or how they can improve a jump or make a puzzle less obtuse. They just fucking boo it and don't comment in the thread or on the stage itself.

X1W-M4T-CKF

Just made my first level. the 32 character limit for level titles kinda screwed me a bit and I had to eliminate spaces to get the name to fit. feel free to give me your honest opinion on it, I'm sure there are multiple things I could improve.

people probably just don't like the type of level. I play ALOT of levels from these threads but I never bother with puzzle levels or collection / red coin levels. the title or way you describe it might be bland too.

I'm not the course maker, but you're supposed to wall jump off that wall to the left, land on the blue platform, drop a short distance and then wall jump up the right. There should be coins telling you when to jump.

So, how do music cues work, exactly?

The music stops after going a certain distance. How do I keep the music playing for a whole area? Just coat the whole place in music cues? Or is there something I'm missing?

>JP players only like levels made by other JP players

lmao this is actually funny

you can put it on Mario to have it play everywhere in the level

Awesome level, a good challenge and I liked how you incorporated a sort of “checkpoint” with the clear condition. That last jump has some wicked timing though.
And yeah I would have included a reset door on my level but broken blocks from the banzai bill don’t reset.

Yeah, but sometimes you just want a specific area to have a music track, to differentiate it from the rest of the level.

I know about placing it on bosses or whatever, but that only works when the boss is on screen, of course.

>too afraid to repost code and ask for it
You aren't a good maker unless a japanese girl likes your level.

I'm still working at it, and it's pretty good for a Koopa Car level, but those on-off presses at the top are WAAAAAYYY too precise, and there's that troll switch in the middle of the thwomps that is really unfair as well.

Yea I am not advocating hunting people down - but what may seem obvious to us regulars may not be to someone casually browsing the thread and throwing up a first level on whim.

Having an expectation of 2 levels played per course post you make is just a really healthy/basic standard for a "community" to have. Communicating these expectations from time to time is normal and not directed at anyone specifically, but lets people know how they should be behaving.

everything about this is extremely bad, i do not even want to finish it. please go play the kart level in story mode.

OK, I made two new traditional SMB 3 levels.

Watch out for hdden boxes

think I probably should've put the level name when I posted this. the name is "Goombrats Roasting on an Open Fire"

I thought that was a really fun level. Would love to see more like it.

I'm actually working on a sequel right now, "Parachute Pen: Pirate Playground." I plan to center it more around an improved version of the boss setup at the end, allowing me to sort of shuffle enemy "ships" in and out with ease. I also want to have more emphasis on the shape of the parachute pen itself changing throughout the level.

How do you put a parachute on those stumps?

yeah sorry man, these jumps are too damn precise. Which is a shame because it'd be a fun little speedrun level otherwise. Didn't like it, but didn't boo it either.

damn dude this was awesome

Extremely creative, this was a lot of fun to play with. Nice level of challenge too, though the last mushroom seemed to spawn too low for me to ever catch it.

My meme picture about motion sickness is true but unavoidable with the setup so don't take it as an insult.

Haven't finished it so far, but I absolutely love it.

It was hard to do in that level due to the downward scrolling, but assuming you're working in a more typical level, an easy way to get a parachuting stump is to:
>Put a parachute on a Chain Chomp, then a bomb underneath it, and then a Hard Block.
The parachuting stump will crush the bomb, killing the Chain Chomp, leaving only the stump.

>a screencapture of a twitter video
Bro, just use twittervideodownloader.com/

Thanks, I knew I was doing something wrong, but I went the fastest route

well thanks for playing it. Yeah i experimented with making those jumps easier but i just felt that it made it too easy. I didnt want to make a cart level like a lot of the others ive played thats just drive thru an area with no effort. thanks for the feedback

I like the idea of the level, but the precision required to hit the proper on/off switches in the upper area just make it feel impossible and the farthest I've made it is just past the skipsqueaks and at this point I don't feel like struggling to get past the upper section of the level anymore. not gonna boo it, but I'm also not going to complete it.

pretty inventive but 90% of the time I was just standing still waiting and ducking occasionally. the boss(?) at the end is completely nullified by just ducking with the shellmet.

Both good courses, I hope you keep making stuff like this. Level of difficultly felt very close to classic SMB3. All the challenges themselves were very fair and just well designed.

Only 2 constructive nit picks. 1)Theming could be stronger if you used less enemy variety (Kamek comes to mind in the sky theme one, but also had spikey and spineyes). 2) Visuals could be spruced up with more use of slopes and semisolids just in the background. A very small amount of effort there would really increase the courses personality.

really like how the difficulty scaled through the course of the level and the amount of munchers and piranha plants you placed and how you placed them to fit the jungle aesthetic you were going with. really enjoyable level.

Pretty good I must admit

Fun and inventive, but a little easy to unintentionally (or intentionally) break.

Thanks a lot. Glad you liked it.

is there anything I can put on the ground that hurts yoshi other than a layer of boos?

weird question but how are you guys capturing videos to convert to webm? are you just using capture cards or is there a share function of some kind?

Fire jets? You'd have to put enough so that they don't get lucky with timings, though.

hold down the screenshot button to record the last 30 seconds

If you hold down the screenshot button on your Switch (or controller) it starts recording. It's limited but it's there.

ah, how are you getting it off of your switch then? can you copy to a thumbdrive or anything?

you can use a microsd or you can post it to twitter

fuck guess I need to see if I have a microsd laying around anywhere because fuck Twitter's video compression

I try to, got a series of traditional
courses. Most recent is here.

You can post it to twitter and from there download/convert it, or you can save to a microSD card and transfer to your PC that way if you have an SD card reader.

pretty fun i guess, put the part with the claw and the water is like frame perfect to do fast.

>Ask friend to play my level

Is there an easier way to refresh/update the number of plays on your levels?

Give space at the beginning of an autoscroller for the player to prepare for platforming. Especially if the speed is set to fast.

6TB-GBY-WVG

SMW level with a mish mash of ideas thrown into it. Can be a tinsy bit difficult if you're not good with on/off floating platforms. Feedbacks appreciated.

*but the part

if you can't one shot your own level consistently its bad.
>b-but im bad at mario
then don't make hard levels

the speed is set to normal, but I'll take that to mind the next time I make an auto-scroller level.

its to stop jank with the checkpoints. it ensures that you never have to kill yourself to progress.

definitely appreciate the feedback though.

hit bell in menu or restart game

nigger did you even think about what you wrote. if you can't beat it first time consistently then neither can a player which is a guaranteed shit level.

One of the guys here made a level where you are forced to die and respawn at the nearby checkpoint to clear the level though?

Thanks, I haven't tried that yet

yeah jenome's desert god ritual. theres probably some way of beating it without killing yourself that involves waiting or doing some obscure shit.

Thanks for the compliments and the constructive criticism, it means a lot for real. I always feel like I am don't have enough enemy variety which causes me to break theme too much and I think you are right I am being misguided there. I will definitely try to keep an enemy theme going from now on.

Good. Honestly they should give you 15-20 attempts to upload a level and after that you can't upload it anymore unless you remake it from scratch.

Cool idea !

what a garbage idea

>I always feel like I am don't have enough enemy variety
most actual mario levels have 2-3 enemy types in them, and this is counting turtles/goombas which are a given

anyone have tips on music sequencing in mario maker?

I want to incorporate music into a level but been having a hard time fitting it in, especially during a vertical section

what a great idea

great way to make every level have a dev exit / star

Seems good to me. Just put the editor for downloaded courses back in and comment where the dev shit is.

You are right, I just need to embrace the theme and stick with it.

>let's ruin every single level that isn't completely brain dead

no, fuck off.

If even you yourself don't have fun playing your level it's just bad.

So it's not in the game itself, but this guy made a pretty cool thing for creating overworlds

youtube.com/watch?v=bhODmOh40Ks

I played it and gave it a like. I'm not very good at criticism. It wasn't frustrating and there were some fun minigames and challenges to put on myself. But it definitely lacks a focus. You can probably pick any of the sections in this level and expand it further if you're creative enough.

Played this to see what the fuss is about. I loved the house interiors, could probably go with more furniture and decorations though. Nice use of sound effects, it was cute.

858-8KF-DWG

If anyone wants to play my SMW level. It's a platforming level where you alternate between spin jumps and normal jumps. I was experimenting with ways to force one or the other. I'm not sure how difficult it is since I already know what to do and even put a 'tutorial' at the beginning. But everything should line up if you keep running. Let me know what you think!

I am having fun but these fucking bullshit sniper thwomps man

You'll get notified once people exit your level. So if your friend plays your level now but takes an hour to beat it you'll get the notification in an hour.

>having sniper thwomps in your level
>ever

no

8TD-FKC-8KG
Made this level but I feel like I fudge the execution of the gimmick. I'l probably do a revision with better ideas. (it's not a kaizo or troll level, the only vaguely challenging/annoying part is right before the end). I wish I could make normal platforming levels.

Please give your thoughts about it.

Just beat it. Didn't find all the red coins (missing one) but it was pretty fun. I started shitting myself when the purple water was rising. It could have been a little longer or added another section after the purple water area.

Is there a way to make fire bars faster? Also, is there a way to shoot bullet bills from offscreen?

Took a small break from MM2, but I'm back in full force and have 4 new levels and one revamp for you guys. None of them should be too difficult I hope, and of course feedback is greatly appreciated as well!

I like it, but it's honestly more of a speedrun and I marked it as such. Nice use of simple differentiation of jumps to make things different

nah, automario is for those "don't move!" levels where you stay perfectly still and the level pushes you through it. if you tagged as that it'd never get played since it's not in normal rotations

>try real hard
how could you possibly know unless they were the only one to have played it?

We really need a "troll" tag, a "technical" or "advanced" tag for kaizo-ish stuff and maybe a "gimmick" tag

That's good to know

Based bird.

maybe they were playing it together IRL?

seems like a weird thing to post smug anime images about on an internet webzone

Would be neat if you could watch replays of people's attempts.

It would be nice, but I'm not counting on it.
It's more of an experiment as to what kind of levels of mine people like the most. I also was working on multiple at once and basically finished them all up at the same time, so I felt I should hold off and upload all at once for something different.
