I know a fire bar or burner can do it but I need a constant source of damage from the bottom, like a spike or mucher would do to Mario. would a stationary sawblade not work?

Plebian Parasite posted:would a stationary sawblade not work? pretty sure yoshi bounces off of most hazards other than lava which is stage-dependent and also instant death, which might not be what they need e: you could also try two sets of burners set up parallel to the ground which are on opposite cycles so one of them is always firing

What kind of things do you folks like to use for hidden rewards? I feel like any course played in isolation isn't going to benefit from 1-ups or coins (although they are satisfying to grab). I feel like there should be an incentive to take extra challenge paths or find secrets, but on the flip side I feel like typically power ups will have too much influence on the play of a stage to use as an optional side thing.

Is there a way to immobilise a koopa car? I can't spawn an empty one, and the enemy tends to drive around and crash. Locking one between two springs is noisy.

I like to use a lot of high end power ups in mine, stuff like Cape Feathers, Propeller Hats, Yoshi’s etc. I kind wish there was a way to track people’s paths because I usually do put a few hard to find secrets in my levels but can never tell if anyone bothers.

I appreciate the thought, but the level concept was racing to the end with a star and wanted a course that weaved its inbound track with its outbound. Anyway, it's done now: Spooky Star (if I wasn't doing an alliteration thing and I wasn't certain that no one would get the joke, I'd call this stage "The Fireflower House") WVH-M68-9NG I timed the segments so that they're forgiving to a minor error or two, but if you go the wrong way then you're dead.

Minor gripe: I have so much trouble jumping off of trees in 2D Land style in the story mode levels. Like it's so simple and they don't ask you to do anything too hard with it. I don't know why I gently caress it up so badly. It's like all rules of physics and how Mario handles goes out the window for this one jump. It reminds me of the 2D sections of Sonic Lost World.

Had time for some Goon Stages Icedude - Bowserrail Might need to be workshopped more. As is it's absurdly easy and not super threatening. First part was me just jumpin up and down in place for a minute waiting to see if anything would happen. Second phase I skipped by bouncing off Bowser Jr's head and just taking the key and leaving and Third I just waited for bowser to walk away and got the switch. Might suggest more room too as most of it was just a giant bowser in my face roaring and I couldn't move until his AI finally told him to walk away. Mooseontheloose - Super Happy Fun Slide Wow. Hansolio - Mt. Don't Odd stage. The jumps feel kinda wonky and the fish surprised me. Asked myself what I was getting myself into then I beat the stage 10 seconds later. Also not sure how to do the spinjump part so just soaked a hit with a shellmet and ran over the munchers. Salastine - Covetous Cliffs Really fun traditional level where I got hung up trying to get coins and then got spooked into rushing to the end when the hurry up jingle hit  No real complaints with this one, maybe make the timer slightly bigger? As for difficulty, I personally found it easy but some people absolutely cannot handle monty moles so I wouldn't sweat it if you're after kills

One of the better uses of the dark stages I've seen. Took me a few tries to figure out what exactly I need to do and then a few more to actually execute on it.

This is my first Mario Maker experience, and I’m sort of stumped if there’s a way to trigger and explosion in SMB1 to blow up bricks. Anyway I can trigger this with a sliding Koopa shell? I tried putting babombs in a brick, but that that just makes it come out when a shell hits it. Random Stranger posted:This stage desperately needed a checkpoint. The shoes hopping is really funky on stair steps and throwing a dozen of them in on steps was kind of annoying, too. Layout was excellent, though. Really? Hmm well maybe. I thought it was short enough to be able to endure the challenge of making it through. I thought the boots part would be too chaotic, and even though it is, I never had that many playthroughs where I died there. It usually would be a little much for my taste though. Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

Why not, I got a few to share Icy Spiny - 0WG-76P-VMG Nothing difficult, a standard 1-1 themed around spinies. Baby's first level. Climb The Sky - 1CS-LM5-59G Vertical stage based around trampolines, and getting through obstacles with them. Did my best to emphasize that you didn't have to bring a trampoline through the stage since I know that's a common and overdone mario maker feature.

Put a bob-omb in a spot where it won't move (e.g surrounded on all sides by blocks). If you want the explosion to be automatic, use a block on a track to crush it. If you want Mario to trigger it, put a ? block beneath the Bob-omb. I think if you put a muncher into the ? block the explosion will be instant. There's more ways to do it but those are thre easiest I'm aware of

AlBorlantern Corps posted:My son made this level.  Let's talk about the level. Lets start by what you did good with: You limited yourself mostly to 2 elements (springs and spiksqueaks) This helps keep your course from feeling cluttered. Placing the springs high enough that the charvargh..char.. WORMS cant reach you while you figure it out is a good choice. Next up, the things that aren't entirely your fault: The springs and the starting phiranna plants. While generally things that hit you in the spawn area are bad, the issue is more the time it takes for them to reach you. If they were held back by an on/off block that was changed by a koopa shell (that you could see the situation coming) that would be better. The springs are weird, their platform just needs to be a little wider. These are not your fault, as enemy stacking and those springs would work perfectly in every other style, and that's just 3dworld inconsistency with the other styles. Lets talk about bad things. #1 the Charvarrghs, these are bad because the player has a hard time telling if they are going to go left/fight or foreground/background, and so are hard to deal with when you need to keep Hitting Mices. Also, they don't fit with the water. (they could fit in the jungle theme, if say, the water rose and there were more firey things about, but that is a specific level design choice.) The dead ends would not be a problem in a more exploration focused level, but given this is a straight platforming level, they should either give a reward for going there, or not exist at all. This is called Negative Possibility Space. Having to ride the springs as your way up is fine, it just needed a coin or something on screen so the player moves the camera up and sees "Oh there's a doorbox up there." I got the keydoor ending, I was sad. Also, now that I think about it, finishing with the supersqueak was a great choice. A couple other game design videos to watch: Pacing and The Design Lesson (Ceave) Edit: Also, if you are going to make a level based on jumping on enemies, skipsqueaks are an excellent choice! They stand still! Good work there! Tnega fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Jun 30, 2019 |

A stupid question, I know, but does anything else bring an endless challenge mode run to an end other than running out of lives? I’m at 80 in an easy mode run with 99 lives and I feel like it’ll be truly be endless. Does the difficulty ever increase?

Going through the spreadsheet now. PotU: Air Attack I'm going to be frank. This level feels like an absolutely disjointed mess. I got to the part with a hammer bro and then stopped. It feels like several levels and obstacles are placed without too much thought put into coherency. Also there's not enough room for the player to breathe overall. The starting jump requiring a running start also doesn't start the level off on a good footing. Try sticking to fewer enemies and obstacles, and have the level revolve around those instead. It can help both you and the player feel more focused. Bongo Bill: Gruesome Grave Interesting little narrative there. I was amused at how many people didn't think to go in front of the spiny, judging by the level comments. J-Spot: Hurry up and wait! I liked the juxtaposition between having to hurry or wait. Or alternatively, go into speedrun mode and bypass most of the waiting. Good stuff.Fawf: Two Goombas Okay, this gave me a nice laugh. ThisIsACoolGuy: Pipe Up 404, level not found. spacebump: easy, short, & fun A nice easy romp, though the enemy placement at the beginning was a bit questionable for something of that difficulty.

OneMoreTime posted:Why not, I got a few to share I played these. The first one was cool, felt like a regular Mario level apart from the large amount of spinies. The second was cool too but it took me over 6 minutes to get through it so it seems kinda long. Most of that time was spent waiting for flame jets to stop. Also I never felt like I had to bring a spring with me aside from the spring that drops out of a pipe, I knew I had to use that to continue. Good work tho!

Random Stranger posted:Levels at the bottom of pages need the most attention! Oh no! It's not meant to be brutal or jumped! I should have added an arrow, but I was hoping the distance between the pipes would have hinted at trying going down. I guess extremely difficult jumps are so common, that suicide jumps are the first instinct than checking the pipe. I didn't know the speed could be changed. Thanks for the feedback!
