Hey goons! Been procrastinating on posting my courses, but I figured I'd finally get around to it. I thought I wasn't going to like the course making aspect of this game, but I'm actually enjoying it a whole lot! Planning on trying out a bunch of goon courses, since normal and easy endless modes are getting a little grindy. I'd appreciate folks trying my stuff out too! Kamek's Magic Shop - 6MW-6WJ-RJG I built this course to test out making a shop in Mario Maker 2. Fetch 3 trampolines and exchange them for items at Kamek's Magic Shop. Galoomba Forest Trail - Y39-L6N-B1H This is an easy level I built to experiment with making terrain with slopes. I think it looks pretty! Pierced and Crushed at Haunt Hill - 1RQ-44G-QMF A difficult level based around ZR jumping on Thwomps and Spinies. Icicle Canyon - M0S-HPH-SWF A medium difficult course built around playing with icicle mechanics.

Made two levels so far Up Tops 9CB-BVC-NNF Simple stage with a barely hidden upper alternative path Highwater Chemtrails LWV-W6Q-L2G Airship level featuring a modest challenge and probably too many powerups.

Ok, so my suggestion to the person who is building out https://randomactsofmario.com/, is that when you click "give me another level", it should be a situation where we can give kudos to good levels or bash bad levels. So there are now two buttons instead of one. "This level sucked give me another" - "This level was great give me another" - and then the algorithm that shows a person a new level would be slightly weighted on whether a level has + or - clicks after it has been seen by a goon. So this could be a goon filter even before Nintendo's filter.

New level up! Let's Get 'em, Big Bro! G5N-96F-GBG Difficulty: Normal Multiplayer Friendly?: Yes This is a remake of one of my absolute favorite MM1 levels that I did but with some updates. Enemies appear in big+little team-ups to defeat Mario and friends. I take heavy inspiration from SMB1 level design concepts but give them a Mario Maker twist. This is a cute kid friendly level but still has some challenge to it. J-Spot fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Jul 4, 2019 |

I realized my level had a potential failstate, so I remade it. Trapped in the Wizard's Archvives 3DJ-23M-X0G Is there a way I can get the ID updated on the sheet? Hopefully I can pump out a few actual new levels over the long weekend.

I'm weird and actually want to get used to editing with the controller, and I believe I started doing this while undocked. However, once I tried touch controls, I don't seem to have the option to go back to the controller. Am I missing something? Shouldn't I be able to go back to using the controller?

I got some bad personal news today so spent most of it just sulking about. Didn't plan on making a level during this period but it turns out it was what I needed to get my mind off things. Please give it a try if you like classic levels. I honestly tried to make this feel as authentic as possible and I think I hit it just right. (Aside from lifting one part directly from Mario 3. I'm shameless there) Purple Pipes in the Dusty Dunes  Gonna be focusing more on playing goon levels tomorrow again so I hope this is a good final level for a small break  E: Argh need to fix the code ThisIsACoolGuy fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Jul 4, 2019 |

Time for more random goon stages: These coins belong in a museum? 957-NFN-81H By: Defenestrategy I get what you were trying to do which is why I didn't boo the stage for the invisible death brick, but the level concept just tells me "I can't trust the creator." Are one of these coins actually obtainable through some cleverness? It subverts the intention of your level to have players trying to creatively beat it before just going on to the end. Monster Recycling Plant 7GJ-LHK-3WF By: bumblebadger Really great theming and I do enjoy giving players a machine to work with. I liked how if you got up the crane climb once you got the shell to let you avoid dying. I ran into some problems with the first machine since the claw had trouble picking up the big beetles; it would grab them going down, immediately release them, then not pick them up again. Still, over all very nice. Jam levels from this point on. Fire in the Sky R60-QFD-QWF By: Live Free It's a well built level, but it's yet another hitting the switch to open a path/shell bouncing to alternate the platforms level. Retro Switch Medley 9PW-489-WQF By: jivjov Don't remake SMB1 levels. Underwater Castle Very Hard W8D-S97-9GG By: Tnega I wouldn't say "Very Hard". Maybe "Slightly Above Normal Difficulty" if I was being generous. I spent too much time trying to bait the magikoopas into making things out of the bricks to see if I could cheat my way later. Using switches to control the crushers was nice, but didn't really stretch the concept too far. Crane Game Grove WB3-CR4-B2H By: Live Free The fun in a crane game is trying to pick your prize, but on this stage you have to pick up every item in turn and slowly wait for the crane to cycle back to pick up the next one in the line. It makes it kind of boring. Toxic Friendship PMH-VKY-3VF By: ThisIsACoolGuy Over all, an okay "keep the thing at the top of the screen going" level that's pretty easy except one part. Spinning on the spike top is slightly tricky, but having to vary your jumps while doing that ups the difficulty a lot. It's a giant spike for just that one spot. TimePod: Cold Past, Bleak Future BHD-JWX-WJF By: Rather Watch Them Really great use of the switch to alter the layout of the stage and force the player to look back and forth. And I liked that you used a consistent "device" to let players change things around.

 I present the first segment of my "traditional" style Super Mario game. Welcome to Woodland Kingdom, featuring the following stages: 1) Cheep Cheep Creek 2) Creeper Cavern 3) Muncher Meadows 4) Sawmill Sabotage Here's the code for my Maker profile, where you'll find the stages in descending order: 4G4-S5H-LRF What can you expect from the traditional style? - Levels will be straight forward, centered around a few gimmicks of escalating difficulty. - Each stage has 3 bonus coins (10, 30, 50) to obtain as part of bonus objectives. There are also secret power ups. - Each world will feature 3 regular levels and a boss "castle". Once they increase the upload cap beyond 32, I'll probably expand. Also, I've been playing and commenting on some other poster levels. Here are a few fun ones worth playing! Quicker Than The Sand T30-M52-QWF The Wrecking Ruins HQQ-0PY-C6G Cold Feet C8Q-TJW-FFG

I've made three levels so far - would appreciate input from someone willing to try a novice level-maker's stuff out. Switch and Slide W82-RKL-9YF This one is a simple "challenge" course centered mostly around wallslides and switch blocks, with a thwomp spin jump at the end. It was my first level, so it's pretty basic. It's also the only one anyone has played because I linked it to a streamer. Jump Plumber C27-YRL-7LG Jump King inspired level; automatically terrible as a result. Please play it and tell me how much you hate it. Mario's Aerial Heist JGL-L8J-GLF Experimenting with the 3D World kit. Mario boards an airship, beats up its owner, and steals their coins, before making a daring escape on a flying 'carpet'. I really hate that I can't both set a clear condition and a checkpoint. Seems like something you can overcome with clever level design, but I'm not there yet.

Unfortunately if you were trying to make this easy I'd say you failed. Whenever those twister guys show up trying to push you into the spikes it got to be too much with the porcupuffer also in play and I kept dying. ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Can the spreadsheet get updated? I hosed up a C and a G on Purple Pipes in the Dusty Dunes This was fun. I think I had a harder time with this than I probably should have, maybe because the stage layout was already challenging without the wind effect screwing me up.

Here's some levels I've been working on over the week. Here's my game jam level. Ended up giving me a lot of trouble cause I kept needing to iron out weird interactions that could possibly lead to a fail state or something. Hopefully, it works fine now. It's a decently long level, but there's some secrets to be found, and it shouldn't be too hard. https://twitter.com/SamFaustus/status/1146620567027478531 This level's a very straightforward, pure platforming deal. It's pretty hard but also pretty short. https://twitter.com/SamFaustus/status/1146619985378201600 This last level to be honest I made for myself. It's based off of an old SMM1 level of mine that I kept replaying every so often. From the limited feedback I've gotten, I presume that it is very difficult, but if you want to try it, here it is. https://twitter.com/SamFaustus/status/1146619157938524160 I also fixed up and re-uploaded a level.

I'll just say that any time you see a spiral or circle of coins, that's my hint that there's space to do a loop around him so he'll end up farther back. I kind of wish the cheep cheeps would stop getting stuck on him, though.

I made a stupid level, but I actually use it to practice turtle shell jumps from SMW. GFG-BYP-38G Best way I've found is to run toward the wall with the shell and about 3 blocks to the left of the wall let go and let the d pad go neutral while holding jump Again, this is stupid, but maybe you can learn something from it?

While I am aware of the existence of other discords, I threw one up for testing levels with semi-immediate feedback instead of  ing to the spreadsheet: LinkBack to the mines: Baking Soda Bridge WD4-YJD-3XF There were probably secrets under the bridge, I unfortunatly had no desire tocheck them out given the high number of enemies. Uncle Autoscroll's Spookhouse F71-TYS-SFG Conceptually, this level is bad, there are sound effects that give flases of light for the whole level, use them in the coin section. While the level isn't actually hard it would be the sort of level I would skip, as it screams "I put Kaizo blocks over a pit at the end, lol" You didn't, but why risk a run? Super Mario Soldier This level was deleted and.. broken into 2? Cross the Poison River W27-MW5-0KG I wound up just flyning over it with the cape, which is a shame, because the level is actually good, peobably a bit too many fish. Meowser's Bad Breakup P5N - XFG - 5SF The jump after the first fire bro was akward, I didnt like having to re-fight meowser after dieing. Level is fine.

Have 4-5 ideas bubbling around at the same time, ended up saving them all so I can load and craft as I get bright ideas. Ended up setting my super leaf level aside when I realized I had enough ideas to make a level for the Level Jam! P!-Pipe Panic!! 4B1-50P-84G A level centered around the other kind of switch! Pay attention to coins! I found the level played differently based on player speed which was satisfying, If you can move at 100% speed you can clear the last part easily, but if you delay at all things get tough fast. I naturally stumbled across a few fun ideas that I think would work well expanded into full levels, like how reliably I was able to get the chain chomps to follow Mario even around corners I thought would be too complicated.

Had to break for a few days and I guess kaizo MM2 has gotten a lot more powerful in that time because I just beat Barb's Terminator level and it's bar none the coolest of its kind I've played so far. Extremely satisfying flow and intuitive maneuvers. Barb's really a master of his craft, the stuff he concocts is so much more interesting than 30 variations of a shell jump in a row or just a full sprint in NSMBU for 30 seconds with prescribed jumps. Angle and momentum control and quick thinking are a lot more important and he's always got a glut of setups and concepts I haven't seen in another kaizo level. Highly recommended if you want to get really intimate with 3D World's mechanics really quickly. It's definitely hard but it's two sections of reasonable length with a checkpoint in between. It's not 0.06% hard by any measure or anywhere near it. I think the much wider audience without 3 years of built-up experience with this kind of design being curious in checking it out are what's leading to that. That's the kind of prohibitive clear rate that's reserved for like, Panga's higher-end stuff. So don't be intimidated from trying it if you've got a taste for this kind of thing. You're not gonna be walking into a dansalvato level here. It's MSS-PYL-WLG. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdMPfY8jO28 It's the only clear I could find sorry about random Twitch dude.
