I finished the first revision of my Superball Speedrun stage, Superb All PWM-JQV-7VF  This is the kind of stage that I'm 100% sure has jank that I was blind to as the creator. I'm hoping to get some feedback, improve it, and then submit it to the spreadsheet. Please don't Like it yet even if you do like it, I don't want to inflict it on endless until it's been de-janked The level is (intentionally) quite difficult but should still be easier than a true kaizo. If it's actually at kaizo difficulty then that's something I need to fix and is valuable feedback.

Tried making a music level: K9C-B3N-7YG (Wind Scene/600A.D.) Actually sounds a fair bit better than I expected. Next time I'll probably use pipes to make multiple maps.

Orange Crush Rush posted:Thanks for playing it and the feedback! All power ups after the first Mushroom are just Progressive (following Nintendo’s rules) with the exception for a few secrets. I realized early on like, 90% of the baddies in it will be immune to fire but yeah I liked giving people extra hits so I just kept it. Yep, well before. It's been a few hours but I think it was right after the first Fire Flower. You take a running jump to get to a platform with a Dry Bones on it, but if you aren't careful the arc of your jump will take you into a second Dry Bones on a slightly higher platform to the left of the target platform that has a few coins on it.

Hey goons, I uploaded a level Will o' The Wisp ML3-09R-VHG I put a lava bubble on a track and had it guide Mario through a darkened mansion filled with less-than-stable platforms. It's a shortish autoscroller that shouldn't be too challenging. EightFlyingCars fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Jul 3, 2019 |

I am really coming to hate Meowser. It sure is fun to only be able to sit there as he hangs out in the background and shoots at you over and over and over again. He finally came back? Oh, it was just to do a quick backflip and now he's in the background shooting again.

Made my first level just to play around with a clown car. Also wanted to get a feel for the maker M8S-TTQ-QNF Wish I could zoom out and get a bigger grasp of the stage but I can’t so might just use pen and paper first to map out what I want and then take it to the game.

Using Random Acts Of Mario! Air Attack (SM6-QTF-PFF) by PotU: Hard as hell, lots of good timing tricks in enemy and trap set up. A super expert course that doesn't rely on bad design. Flagrant Disregard for Gravity (KYC-FYM-RJF) by CVolume: I love it! A great use of one of NSMB's hidden mechanics and the new night themes. One of the few times I've seen hall of spikes design and not groaned. Impeccable Work Ethic (9K1-JD7-L8G) by Hyper Crab Tank: Love using the pipes to reset the rising tide. Great theming and design, razor tight timing on the overworld poison. Wish the semi-solid on the Piranha Plant boss wasn't the same color as the background! And garçon, a checkpoint, please! Slope Slidin' Away (325-M15-C5G) by Evil Eagle: A maker of wealth and taste, recognizing the superiority of Mario 64 slide level design and SMB3 Monty Mole design. Payload Palace (WBW-3MK-YWG) by Live Free: Tough but fair! Good use of crates and great use of bullet bill/hard block design. Nice to see a map with some room for 3D World Speedrun long jumping. Fun bonus area, had to go back and give it a try when I realized it wasn't a pure shortcut! Freezy-Scorchy Land (W2H-14M-VCG) by Pakled: Love the theme and the mirrored worlds! I love mirror world design in general. The spikey pipe/blue lift trap is fantastic. I don't see twisties often and they're hard to use but they're well done here. Classic Kit (T59-98K-2NF) by Random Stranger: Tough SMB1 just like Nintendo used to make! Lots of good nods to people trying to speedrun the level and pop them for it. I dig using the rails and 1-ups to simulate mini levels within a level. 7 Short Films About 1-1 (TWQ-4TF-QWF) by Big Mad Drongo: I cracked a smile at film 3, was grinned at film 4 and then died about ten times to rail goomba in film 5 because I have a small brain. Kept trying to proactively or delay jumping instead of staying still. Film 5 was as great as film 4, the others were good too. A fantastic idea and I recognized that reference.

Fawf's level Two Goombas came up in the randomizer for me and I loved it so much that I had to play all the ret of their levels as well, which are great. Drop It Like It's Hot is very clever. Made a pirate ship level. The fiance totally didn't understand it and had a lot of trouble with it but he's also not really much of a gamer outside of Fortnite and PoGo. I was like, "You're exploring a sunken ship for treasure," and I had to walk him through my thought process which worries me. Hopefully other people get it? Anyway, here is Pirate's Cove, my take on the pirate ship coin collecting thing someone else was mentioning the other day also wanting to do. I bet theirs comes out better! HQ6-LGH-18G Worth noting somebody commented a middle finger on it already. Thanks, pubbies!

Oh I think I found it, but that's kind of a weird route to take, you can jump on the Seesaw easily from the ground and next seesaw comes into view as soon as you land on it. I put that semisolid and Drybones up there as a way to give people a sneak peek at the hidden top route for the above ground part Orange Crush Rush fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Jul 3, 2019 |

1-1 Bolder Beginnings 4KQ-8CW-8LG Level is fine. Would have preferred some of the coins be a placed a bit safer over the pits if you were going for easy. 1-2 Switch Ditch 768-43V-M2G With the 2nd spiny drop, the on/off blends a bit with the colored blocks. The automatic on/off might warrant a safety ledge under the first jump, if you were going for "here's how on/off works for first timers" Bully Bluffs P7Y-G80-XFF Green pipe section was a little irritating, didn't see the spike was until i hit it, given that I was focused on the thwomps, and it looks like "run fast" at first glance. The first real bully could use a larger platform as well.

EightFlyingCars posted:Hey goons, I uploaded a level This is an interesting idea and I downloaded it to try again later. I keep dying at the first jump and I can't tell if it's just because I'm exhausted or because it's too difficult for my Mario skills. Do keep in mind that in dark levels the player is at a disadvantage to the maker. But it's a really cute idea! Edit: Got directed to Big Mad Drongo's 7 Short Films About 1-1 and sir/madam goon, I wish I had a thousandth of the creativity that courses through the beard upon your neck.

Mario Maker 2 is making me want to play Mario Galaxy again... Okay, after dredging through the poo poo that is in endless mode, I want some more goon levels but this time I'm doing ones people have posted to the thread for the jam rather than random ones. All levels will be graded on how they fit the theme "Try Switch" and if they don't use five brick long snakes. They will receive letter grades but I will not tell you what those letters are. Button Bastion FKB-YB4-DYF We're going to get a lot of factory themed stages, aren't we. Oh well, I guess switches and machinery lend themselves to that concept. Anyway, good claw machine, liked the mole tank. Being able to squish boom boom at the end was fun. Short and nice. Menacing Magikoopas from Mars 9TW-RGF-JWG Intense level with nice theming. I got the key on my first attempt and then got sniped by something over and over again for a while. However, trapping players inside switch blocks to get through areas is really annoying and has some weird interactions with Mario so you lose a few points on the "Try switch" criterion. OrbHurler C4X-R78-YQF So a lot of your challenges are effectively random. But you've got so many of them with so many excess coins who cares? I only did two of them to clear the stage and I wouldn't mind going back to play through some of the others except there's a lot of goon stages to play. Not hard to play, but fun to try to manipulate the ball. Excellent work. Switching it Up, Mario Style TYW-G34-WVF This one is a decent standard level, but not really outstanding. The biggest problem is that the switching at the center of the level isn't really used in any novel way. Always hit the switch 5RT-JH9-Q4G My stomach fell when I saw the "kaizo inspired" in your description. Fortunately it's not as bad as that phrase implies, but the challenges weren't much here, just changing tracks. I even broke the last two segments and completed them anyway. The second by jumping on the platforms in the wrong order leading to the middle platform going to the bottom and the third by not having the second switch on screen. I abused Yoshi to finish those. There's some real problems with block placement here where switches are awkwardly placed and not in a challenging way, just too low for a platform moving downward. Mildstar RBX-WTN-V3G Five block snake. Auto-fail. In addition, the timing on a lot of things could be random and affect the player poorly. I had a time where the sawblades aligned so it was impossible to jump through. And in the day section you have a point where there's an on/off switch with the effect not visible and it kills the player if the state is wrong. These are not good.

This one isn't for the contest but I just finished up so here it is all the same. Don't look down! 5R9-0HC-QDG Dr. Fetus posted a level earlier that took inspiration from Tropical Freeze's Bopopolis and I guess we're kind of on the same page because I went for a similar vibe. Lots of bouncing on enemies over bottomless pits, a few saws and blue platforms thrown in for good measure. There's a bonus area at the very end for a 30 coin and 1-up if you're so inclined.

I'm genuinely looking for feedback on this level. It's another project that's taken me a long while to piece together and I think I'm at a place where I'm mostly happy with it. The challenge? It was to make a level that was fun that featured no enemies. There's only one hazard that can damage you and there are even safety nets littered around if you mess up. There are some cuts you can take which turned it into a pretty tight speedrun course as well if you ask me  There's nothing here. Just you and the mountain I've designed The Climb  (Why yes I did enjoy Celeste why do you ask?)

Artix posted:This one isn't for the contest but I just finished up so here it is all the same. Well I just couldn't say no to trying out a level like this. I did like it overall, and even made it through the bonus section, but it felt like it had quite a few rough spots. One of the big problems I noticed was that the level appeared to have quite a few problems with desyncing obstacles. If the player takes things slightly slower than intended, the way the moving sawblades line up on some of the platforming challenges can cause a jump to either get significantly harder or straight up impossible because the rest of the sawblades spawned in while the ones that were still loaded happened to go on top of the safe spots for the unloaded sawblades. The spacing of the Paratroopas at the very start also felt very weird, especially compared to the rest of the level where the jumps weren't quite as wide from the 1st to the 2nd. The 2nd one isn't even visible if the player decides to go all the way to the right of the ledge to scout things out. And that can also cause a desyncing issue where it's not possible for the player to make the jump from the first Paratroopa to the 2nd one since that one hasn't loaded in properly. And because of that desyncing issue, also I found that getting the power up made the first room significantly harder than just immediately going for the speedrun route you put in there because of that 2nd jump.
