Is there any way we can delete/alter a code on the goon spreedsheet? I redid one of my levels but don't wanna upload a duplicate onto the sheet.

Random Stranger posted:I asked myself, "What are everyone's three favorite kinds of Mario levels?" The answer was obvious: swimming stages, autoscrollers, and levels where you have to avoid something crushing you. What would happen if I combined all three? And so I give you It was pretty good! Not normally a fan of autoscrollers or water levels, but SMW versions of those stages were always fun so that brought that feeling back. I did feel some of the thwomps near the end combined with the rising lava made the last section very tight to get through without taking a hit (specifically, to get to the last safe spot before the pipe) but it didn't necessarily feel unfair. Good level overall.

Salastine posted:I've been going through the thread and playing levels as they're posted and this one had 0 plays. There are a few rough spots with Hammer Bros. but it was pretty fun (though I did cheat at the Bob-omb section by just blowing out the ice wall and reaching the exit pipe). Once you get to the bob-ombs it's basically just a victory lap anyhow, you can take the fire flower and just blow through the hammer bros gauntlet (or just run past and facetank the hits), there's no major obstacles left at that point.

Random Stranger posted:I liked the theming a lot, but there were some implementation problems. Getting up to the mouth was slow and as a result by the time I'm there most of the time at least one of the two hammer bros have dropped down to block the entrance. And with their hammers in water, they just become a wall. The first time you enter the stomach area, you cannot complete it due to delays in how things spawn. That makes the best solution collecting the star, running to the reset door, and then getting the key before that first star wears off. Just putting Bowser in the way with an infinite number of fireflowers is a pretty dull way to end things since you can't lose once you're there. There has to be some extra hook when you use Bowser as a boss fight; in this case the obvious path would be the rising swamp water which might force the player onto island during the fight. Thanks for the feedback. I noticed the issue you mentioned with the stomach part but I was hoping it was just me not hitting the jump timing right. I'll tweak it. You can outrace the water and make it in to the mouth before the water comes up, but there's also a hidden star before the hammer bros. If you don't use either, it's supposed to be a little annoying to get past them. I may still change it a bit though

Phantasium posted:You missed a gimmick in that level that I didn't catch until near the final screen and which is brilliant if you duck as if you're "praying", the holy light sound effect plays and illuminates the level, aka "holy light". This level was really cool since I knew the gimmick. (It was right on the edge of being too difficult, but turned out alright.) But yeah, SamFausr, the text should be more explicit. Maybe make an Indiana Jones reference and say something like "Only the penitent will see the way."

Just finished a new stage: Dry Bone's Desert 5Y2-5DH-RLG A desert NSMBU level, it's another traditional Mario stage. I mostly used this to experiment with See Saws, (how to use them to set up jumps, how they react with enemies on them etc), and also how to use a few enemies in many different ways like I mentioned earlier in the thread.

I guess I can actually just a leave a message in the level itself being more straightforward without taking it down and reuploading.

Snow Flurry Fields 5TJ-RMS-WPG Atoning for my introductory war crimes with something I'd hope to see in an actual Mario game. A nice easy map with optional exploration using the Night + Ice theme(slippery ground.) That music really soothes the soul.

One way to generate yourself some inspiration is to look at the last two or three levels you liked in course world and mix elements from each. Use, say, the game mode from the first world, the main area theme from the 2nd and the sub-area of the 3rd. Take the main gimmick/gizmo from the first, and sprinkle elements of the 2nd and enemies from the 3rd. Something like that.

Had a ten hour drive today so during the time I was the passenger I made this: 5YG-FPM-PMF - Jungle Jinks. Not having wifi forced me to not just upload the second I liked it the first time, so I'm pretty proud of this level because I think I refined it pretty well by my standards. It's probably the best course I've done across the two games. I based it loosely on a goon level I saw that used the SMB Forest level, but mine came out fairly differently, I think. Thoughts? Also, what's this about a goon random level doodad?

Didn't mean to double post, meant to edit this into my previous post, but it's late and I drove for ten hours so here we are. What if "Try Switch" made me think of reasons to try the actual Switch console? As in, case conditions like described above wherein I made my level in a vehicle traveling at interstate speeds? In that case would my level count for said jam? DalaranJ posted:The first week's theme is "Try Switch." :ItIsADarkSoulsJoke: The Lobster fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Jul 1, 2019 |

Three levels for your pleasure. Temple of Boom TT3-HMW-VFG Desc: A no-jump level where you use the superball to fight through enemies and a boom-boom. Also features thematic scenery. Boss Alert-Bring an extra helmet 6LB-CBT-VJF Desc: A remake of a boss battle I designed from Mario Maker 1, creating a boss out of a wall of mario maker physics objects. Ratty Run LB!-R8W-70G Desc: A level built around the use of one enemy. My first upload course, where I was trying to narrow the focus while keeping things challenging.

J-Spot posted:The difficulty really ramps up there in second half, but it was all fair. Great first effort. Tnega posted:The coin slide in the secret area put me right onto a spiney. The difficulty was all over the place, of particular note is the hammer bro in the saw area. Also, under the 10 coin there's a blue platform with some spikes you have to jump over, this can be hard to see and react to if you avoid the janky bouncers. (Either lower the spikes, or let people go under them) The powerups and checkpoint ARE appreciated, keep it up! Thanks for the feedback guys. Greatly appreciated!

I found a course made by some pubbie that's actually really awesome. At first blush it's a SMB1 1-1 remake, but it's very much more than that. I feel like I have to replay it a couple times just to find all the hidden, cool poo poo he put in it. It's called "1-1?" and the ID is FMW-RT7-9RF.

insidius: Mind the gaps! Don't do offscreen thwomps. And even if those thwomps were onscreen, the difficulty of those jumps were ridiculous. #28 Beneath the Kingdom BD6-GK8-7CG By: Cheesetriangles Extremely short and kind of just a ton of enemy spam. #40 Airfort one TMN-HSN-T1G By: semisomnum Interesting idea, though the execution is questionable. The beginning portion with the branching paths is honestly kind of sloppy. I question why you gave the player a mushroom at the beginning, when that makes the section after that kind of needlessly annoying. Also for anyone reading this, I would heavily advise against forcing Mario to get stuck in empty on/off blocks, as I basically got soft locked into the level because Mario didn't get pushed out for whatever reason. #18 Butt Stomp Sprint D7C-XS6-NXF By: Macaluso Very interesting idea. A tough and mostly fair level. The only criticisms I have is that the ! blocks were a little hard to react to at times, despite your coin guides being there. (Also you probably have too many coins on this stage acting as guides. It kind of just looked like clutter after a certain point.) #190 Boom Boom's Doom Hoome RXF-H1Q-GRF By: Dork457 Very nice use of blocks for art and the atmosphere of the level was fitting. #237 Mario in a half shell YWM-77R-XPF By: Pwnguin I'm going to be honest, I did not like this level at all. It was an interesting concept, but a lot of it was kind of frustrating and super easy to get into unwinnable situations. While some of the timing puzzles were neat, the one where you had to get past the door with a sawblade in front of it was probably the worst one and felt really janky. Half the time I couldn't go through the door without losing the shell. #43 Babby's First Athletic W4X-7DC-P9G By: someone awful. Not a bad athletic level. Though it got pretty enemy spammy, especially with the stuff coming from the pipes. #76 Night of the Living Drybones K72-DXW-68G By: Suspicious_Cook A very nice atmospheric level with a good bit of platforming. Boss battle felt a bit clunky with having to time the Thwomps properly, but overall the contraptions were pretty exciting. #178 Run!! 55D-QRT-NLG By: Pocky in my Pocket Interesting idea. I mostly liked the level. Just a few rough spots. There are a few blind jumps in the level that can easily lead to deaths. It was a pretty exciting level aside from those moments. #127 Goomba Garden M8S-78N-RGF By: yrmr I liked this one a lot! Short and sweet, and had a bit of an arcade feel to it in some sections.

I added two more maps to the sheet: Lanterns F9S-Q2S-XFG This is a tricky one, be sure to leave enough light on. DH 1-1 9CJ-9N5-LMF A "Standard" SMB level, I wanted to try to hit the feel of a classic level. I also played another map! #191 Covetous Cliffs 3X8-2H3-8PF By: Salastine Time: 39"683 This is a great coin collection level! I'm a fan of adding more coins than needed for coin goals, and finding an optimal path of coins to collect in time before the goal was fun.

Played some levels randomly via the code thing, here are ones that stood out to me for one reason or another: Abyssal Adventure: This could be tuned a lot better but I think the core concept was super neat. I actually didn't realized while descending that I would have to go back up after hitting the on/off switch, and that made this level pretty unique! The Chomp Pipes: I like the pipe scenery but this was pretty frustrating at times with how fast some chomps came out and their erratic movement. Also forcing you to go through a pipe enemies are coming out of to progress is usually a dick move! 8-3's Revenge: Hammer bro are notoriously bullshit so any course featuring them in abundance has to be designed really well, and for the most part I think you actually pulled that off. Good spacing and use of terrain to make approaching the hammer spam manageable. Buzzy Beanstalk: I really wanted to like this because i like the theme and scenery but its just not fun. Precision platforming on buzzy beetles like this is a mess. Also the very start of the stage is set up in a way where its not immediately clear how you progress and its pretty easy to kill yourself in what is supposed to be a harmless intro. Just a sign that this course needs a lot more tweaking. Spooky Star: Really loved the lighting effects you used here, but I seemed to soft lock myself by getting the star and not moving fast enough.

Kind of proud of this one and I think I stress-tested it pretty foolproof. Concept is a light puzzle level with a low gravity sub-level mirror of the main level. This kind of level is cool to do because making everything match forces you to think about your use of space and blocks a lot more than usual. Lucid Slumberland 5CY-365-S0G

I was thinking about making a level that used the on/off switch for platforms normally but decided against it. Instead I made one of my first puzzle levels with a couple different switches. I don't think it's too hard outside the final task being tricky to time, but feedback would be nice in general.
