They could actually implement this as a feature by recording the upload playthrough. It would be kind of neat, seeing how the serious rear end in a top hat levels work.

Okay I played all of the Jam levels so far, here's my feedback. Mildstar RBX-WTN-V3G Defenestrategy Oh god, it's not mild enough for me. I didn't beat it. I got stuck on the (first?) part with the grinders, although you can prespawn the lower grinder if you know about it so I could probably cheese it. I'm not sure someone of my skill level can speak to this properly. There were some weird timing issues, like if you jump off the first cloud without triggering the block the second cloud will ride off before you even see it. Ski Lift Shutdown YCF-BQB-4YF Phantasium I didn't beat it. I can't get past the part where you have to jump on top of the block. The variety of timing was very punishing, first you have to go slow and later you have to go fast. The theme was interesting, I wish I had gotten further to see if it was going somewhere. Toxic Friendship PMH - VKY - 3VF ThisIsACoolGuy The puzzles were good but straight forward, I kept thinking I was going to fail at the P-switch run but didn't. I couldn't beat it because I couldn't handle the spin jump section. Great idea for a level. Jungle Jinks 5YG-FPM-PMF The Lobster Nice and laid back, I mean I guess there's a boss, I beat it in one shot. Some of the walkways were tight if you were super sized, especially before Boom Boom who kind of got lodged in the entry way, I'd put the entrance to that area higher up so he can't block it. Retro Switch Medley 9PW-489-WQF jivjov I died once before beating it because I am bad at game. Pretty common theme, I feel like it could have been taken a bit further. I liked the joycons. I found the secret area on my second playthrough, that was cute. Menacing Magikoopas from Mars 9TW-RGF-JWG Suspicious_Cook Great theme, excellent use of sound effects in the dark area. I found the pits a bit unfair in that second section, first I didn't realize I was at the bottom of the level, then I stepped right in the first pit once I had all the coins. I definitely died the most in the second section, one in the first and once in the third. Thwack-a-Thwomp MVM-VFX-S0G Flint_Paper Good level idea. I appreciate the powerups too. It certainly fits the short and sweet tag. OrbHurler C4X-R78-YQF Plebian Parasite Real fun concept, I think this could be taken a lot further too. The difficulty in the minigames was a little uneven, the diagonal one was pretty impossible for me. I liked realizing that I didn't know where the exit is, I'm not sure whether that will be a common reaction, think about whether you feel the timer is at a good value. I did beat it in one try. Switching it Up, Mario Style TYW-G34-WVF Lugaloco I'm real bad at wall jumping, but I beat this eventually. I feel like the description oversold the theme, I guess I was expecting the koopa's to revolt after Mario inadvertently killed them at the beginning of the level. I was actually a bit disappointed by how straight forward the challenges were, I guess that's goon sensibility for you. hit all the switches 5RT-JH9-Q4G Pocky in my pocket This was pretty fun, although I didn't beat it, so I can mainly only comment on the first half. I'd use autolifts and have the player dropped onto them using a door since you can ruin the level by hesistating to start all of the lifts, although I suppose this is the kind of level where you are supposed to reply it. Did you know that you can change the on-off switch by butt stomping it? You can cheese the first part pretty hard that way.

Missed out on MM1, and I’m so glad I pulled the trigger on this one. Game is so, so good. Really enjoying many of the levels from this thread - that Zelda dungeon idea was super creative! After hitting up endless mode for a few days, finally got around to actually making some Marios and would love some feedback on my first level: Hanging Gardens 91Y-BQ0-9BG Hid a few secrets in this Hanging Gardens of Babylon vine-themed level. Face off against three plagues as you ascend the ancient sky ruins.

Luigi beats all levels by doing what he does best: Absolutely Nothing. Also, if I wanted to do another pass on a level I've uploaded, I'll have to reupload it and get a new code and stuff right? And re-enter it into the Spreadsheet thing?

Squeaker's Gulch 747-VQJ-HXF A heavy narrative adventure about infiltrating the Pipsqueak Gang's base! Can Mario defeat the nefarious Big Cheese? This is another Normal difficulty level, this time themed around breaking into a bad guy's turf but they're all a little adorably stupid.  Spoiler for after clearing: Was really fun to design a course that rewards maintaining a power up or using an alternative if you do not. It's also really fun to design boss fights that aren't vanilla fights OR heinous bullshit. I had to adjust the platform spacing about a dozen times for things like "It's really boring if I can't hit Pom Pom when I can reach her" and "does anything happen if the Bully knocks you off now?"

lunar detritus posted:I'm glad everyone seems to like it! Randomization is just a tool to avoid freezing up at deciding which level to play, its way better to serve up unplayed levels than it is to ensure the purity of randomness or whatever e: Also this is unrelated but it would be cool to see levels weighted to be pulled at a higher chance if the randomizer doesnt have any record of it being pulled. It would help new levels get into the endless rotation without relying on people trawling this thread to play things as they appear Control Volume fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Jul 2, 2019 |

Finished my first level for the new game earlier. Trapped in the Wizard's Archives 9MJ-5WY-47G Metroidvania/Bloodstained inspired exploration based level. I set a long timer on this one, and something funny will usually happen at the end. (as long as Magikoopa zaps a spell at the right object)

So after my stage Dry Bone's Desert had a 6% winrate with over 100 tries, I figured something might off (it wasn't supposed to be that hard) and I gave it a new pass. The new code for it is: 5YS-J8R-20G  It's a Desert NSMBU level with an emphasis on Seesaws and (you guessed it) Dry Bones, with a good amount of secrets and bonus objectives. Also if someone could update the entry on the Spreadsheet I had for it with the new codes you would just amazing in so many ways. edit: I learned how to do thumnails, thanks burner Twitter account!

Okay, so playing some random goon levels again. Also, every level I play is now getting a crappy MSPaint doodle comment because no one was using those (it desperately needs a flood fill...): what a rotten night am i rite RLJ-50R-V0G By: Crusader Being chased by poison mushrooms is a good germ of an idea, but this course felt a bit sparse. Mushroom Terrace 91P-B27-4RG By: Main Paineframe Well, that was as low-stress as they come. Still had a nice layout and enemy placement. Space Battle CVF-0BL-7KF By: dbhjed Doing a shooter stage with the clown car was a thing that was cool one time. Now I need to see something really special with it for me to be interested. 8-3's Revenge DYS-F6C-GGF By: nrook Hammer bros can be pretty tricky with their random movements and I think the first half of your stage set the player up well to deal with them. The second half, on the other hand required that players get good at hammers. Father Son Fortress CS4-QYT-VLG By: TVs Ian The boss fights were kind of clunky but everything else in the stage was cool.

Then, later in the level, a shell does this for you on a set interval, and you move through a corridor with switch blocks acting as temporary gates. I've decided I'm not going to use them except as a matter of necessity (unlocking stuff/changing paths if I do a Metroidvania-type level) because I'm sure I'm not clever enough to do anything interesting or fun with them. Also, I haven't even gotten one yet, but I'm preemptively sick of snake block levels, which were always my least-favorite part of Super Mario World. Boy I love waiting on a moving platform that slowly meanders its way across the whole level on a path I can't see and then having to redo it for the secrets because you can't really tell when or where you're able to get back on the platform until it's too late.

I figured it wasn't guaranteed to sync up right and people were just taking blind leaps, even though there was a track. I do wish there was a "blue" mode for Seesaws on tracks.

The thing that gets me is everyone leaves it at the default five blocks long. Half the point of the piece is that you're leaving a trail as it moves. The snake can be up to twelve blocks long! You can have crazy trails going everywhere and have Tron light cycle races with them! You can use them to open and close paths! You can do so much and people do default settings using it as little more than just another lift. I have only seen one person even change the default settings on the snake blocks. They made it shorter.

I'm looking for help on a contraption I'm working on. I want a contraption where, if you fire a power ball (same properties as a fire ball but it goes at different angles) in the right spot, it causes a shell to race off. Here's what I've been able to come up with:  There's two problems. One is the shell fires to the left, but that's not a big deal, I can design the level around that. The second is that bob-bombs take forever to detonate. This is a speedrun level, where Mario's going to be racing by at top speed. Even if I replace the entire bottom floor with left-facing conveyer belts Mario is long gone by the time the bomb explodes. Are there any setups that can accomplish this faster?

Internet Kraken posted:Spoiler: The level you design to be as gentle and merciful as possible will still end up with an abysmal clear rate It might be because one of the first story levels had switches, and it was really neat (to me, at least). I actually considered making one of those for my first level, too, before I decided to make the best type of level: SMB3-style airships. Also, I finally got a game over in story mode. Level 45, "Lava Rising", seemed surprisingly difficult for a 3 star level.

Earlier in the level I put things to catch people and give them chances to get back up, but we're talking full running jumps off the end of the level into oblivion here.

Playin' some goon levels: Super Mario Soldier Stage 1 by Kirios 3NQ-HPK-NTG Taught me that you can trigger on/off switches with a charged shot from a fire clown car, took me a few attempts to realize this. Goomba Garden by yrmr M8S-78N-RGF A nice little level, was satisfying buttstomping a big stack of stinky goombas. Celeste Tape Rooms: Side A by TaterSwift RQ2-F47-F4G I should not have tried this level just as I woke up. Captures the Celeste difficulty really well and made me want to tear my hair out at times because I'm bad at Mario. Beat it in the end. Fantastic level!

Couple things: 1) ok, so due to endless mode, it DOES make sense to hide 1-ups throughout a level? I mean, a normal amount of course. I figure otherwise, 1-ups are completely and totally pointless. 2) I would absolutely love it if you were able to email a screenshot from your Switch, instead of forcing a social media post/tweet. To prevent spam, they could limit the recipient to whatever email address is tied to your My Nintendo account. Why hasn't this been done?  3) I loving LOVE this game. You corrected me on I starred that creator immediately, but haven't been able to check out the rest of their levels. I can't wait to get into making my own, but I feel weird about doing that before I at least finish Story Mode, which I also love.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Couple things: Yeah. I think a good policy is to have 1 hidden 1-up, enough coins for at least one additional 1-up, and then the ability to get a 1-up at the end of the level. Obviously there are other options you can mix and match, but the point is if a player does EVERYTHING they should be able to nail 3 extra lives over the course of the level. Or, they can still get 3 lives by dying 1/2 times and doing one objective multiple times.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Couple things: 1) Yes, it helps long runs since you can get 3 lives a level, so with 2 deaths you can still come out positive. In Endless mode you also get a one up when you beat a level if you hit the top of the flagpole/one up mushroom in SMB3 levels too, or get 100 coins. So there are other ways to do that as well. 2) I used an old inactive twitter to just use as a screenshot repository. Jokes on me because I ended up actually using twitter again though (I guess that's the point) 3) It's a good game
