I watched the final level of the invitational and my only thought was that it looked like a mid-tier expert level so I didn't bother to find the rest.

I'm more drawn to carl and dragonfeeney than people like Dode/Grandpoobear for that reason. Dode/Grandpoobear are good to watch but they sometimes get super salty and take it out on chat (who probably do deserve it, but still).

You thought you hated pick-a-pipe? How about long and difficult level where an On/Off switch is at the beginning and you don't know whether hitting it lets you win or NOT hitting it lets you win On/Off switches are going to cause more rage than any other SMM2 item, calling that poo poo now

You'll just have to hit the button randomly and hope for the best without being able to see anything.

Of course this platform should also be book-ended by hard blocks to make the shell bounce back and fourth at Mario indefinitely. Required blind guessing + huge price for failure = totally fun!

So, I asked this before and didn’t get a clear response. Is there something I should do to promote goon levels to streamers? I can tweet at them, but I don’t intend to subscribe to anyone on twitch (Except Maybe Cartridge blowers), and I suspect that they will mostly be interested in playing subscriber levels, right?

Most don't, at least that I've come across. Chances are, goons will be submitting their levels in this thread (or the next if there's a new one at release), so they'll be easy to find. Hopefully there will be some better cataloging features in the game this time around, but it's Nintendo, so probably not.

Treehouse showed off the night castle theme today. Mario swims through the air but the enemies have normal behavior. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krW5kUKxI_8&t=812s I'm not sure that was worth the secrecy.

I still think forcing the pairing of night theme and mechanical effect is a dumb and bad idea. The night themes look fantastic but the effects that go with them are really gimmicky, and way less appealing than the night aesthetic. It would be so much better to be able to toggle effects on and off with a check box. Or you know, tie those effects to triggers in levels, like blocks or on/off switches. It's just such an arbitrary constraint in a game that's otherwise entirely about being a platform (heh) for creativity and variety.

I just want to be able to use the normal stage music with the night themes. The music box versions of the songs are neat, but they’ll get old after awhile.

You should at leas be able to set something like the boss or galaxy music if you don’t want the lullaby versions of the level themes.

Has this been totally confirmed? I thought it was the addition (and usage) of the moon that put the effect in, but maybe I misunderstood. Yes, the look and gimmick (and music!) should all be separate, I totally agree. EDIT: Also, these Treehouse gameplay videos are fantastic

Question for all you "linked level" opinion havers. How many of you actually downloaded level sets (ie, World 1-1 through 1-4) and played through them in Course Bot? Admittedly, there were a few makers I followed that created their stages in this format, but I'd usually just sequence directly from the Bookmarks, which killed any coin + power-up tracking between levels. The reason I ask is because as I'm planning out my next 8 worlds of content, I'm not even sure if there is a good reason to worry about a proper sequence or escalating difficulty. Instead, I may just pick a world type and build a handful of levels that fit the theme and have some recurring challenges. For most players, I don't think there's a difference between "3-1 Perilous Pipeline > 3-2 Carnivorous Cavern" and just playing them individually anyway. Do y'all feel anything would be lost if a maker simply said "Here's a collection of ice themed levels. Play them in any order you want!"?

DarkLich posted:
I think that depends entirely on the levels. For example, if you design your second level with a ? block that has a Star in it... that can only be hit by flying up at it using the Racoon powerup you were able to keep from the last level, then yes, something would be lost if you started that level out of order with nothing. Also, if your last level is really super hard and you want to prep players for it by making your second-to-last level a cakewalk that throws 1UP mushrooms at Mario like confetti, then playing those out of order wouldn't make much sense either. But yeah, if the person making the levels just wanted to make a bunch with no continuity to throw at the player, then nothing would be lost.

Having not played SMM1, I had to look up Coursebot just now. Did it allow for you to keep your lives/status between levels that you put in a certain order? I sincerely hope Nintendo allow that ability. If I have to order them myself, I don't care, I'll do it. Just let me make and/or enjoy a series of levels, meant to be played in a certain order.

Did power ups carry over when playing a string of levels in course bot? I could swear it was just lives and coins. Anyways I don’t think we’ve heard confirmation that you can still do that in course bot but it didn’t seem to be present in the UI.

Never played OG MM but carrying powerups over sounds like it would break a ton of maps and even make some unplayable. Imagine starting as Super Mario on a map that starts you off in a little-mario sized corridor. Or putting a tough map right after your own custom map filled with powerups.

So, I'm kind of fascinated by the 'movement', for lack of a better term, of clearing out all of the SMM1 levels that have a 0.00% clearance rate. That's pretty neat, and I wonder if they'll get them all done before SMM2 is released.

Double post, sorry whatever; I'm curious as to how the game determines the difficulty of a given level. Is that an option when you create it, to say what it is? Or is it based on the completion percentage?
