If I want a challenge of a level to be controlled ducking and sliding on ice to avoid threats, is there any good way to make sure players are Big Mario to make sure that they play within the idea of the level, and not just being baby Mario the entire time and entirely avoiding the challenge, without just throwing in super mushrooms everywhere? I could make a point where you need to be big to be able to take a hit to get past something, but there isn't a super great way to communicate that until they've gotten to that point.

Something I wish they would change in multiplayer is doing something about how goal based levels work because otherwise your best bet is to rush for the goal and stand there and hope everyone else does the work for you.

Force them to take a mushroom at the start and add a "don't get hit" condition.

If you look at the WR leaderboards as an example, the numbers line up, but check every profile in the top 100 and not a single person has even a standard bronze medal for the WR category. In fact until recently not even the top 3 players had the global medals with the ribbons, only 1st place did.

I wanted to make a semi-tough mini-challenge level. There's some ways to really have your way with it if you're used to 3D Worlds moveset (or keep a certain power up) so I'm really excited to see what kinds of times people get   If I download a bunch of goon stages will I be able to rate them even if I play them offline? Won't be making anything for a day or two so wanting to stock up. If I gotta wait to rate them when I get a chance I will though  Violen posted:Nothing about leaderboards or medals makes sense.

All-Time seem to at least make some semblance of sense.

Oh hi thread. Dandy Dunes - DKL-P27-GTF I never mentioned this before, but I was really disappointed when there was no Mario 3 desert theme in the original game. Banzai Expressway - TKM-9C3-LCG How about those Banzai Bills, huh? Really makes this feel like Mario World. Thwomps and Heat - Y9S-Q3F-XVF And you can actually separate rooms now. Very cool.

I love the backgrounds of the 3D theme, but everything else about that style bugs me (aside from the clear pipes). I think it's because everything seems way too big.

 So, I'd been spending my free time since SMM2 came out working on this single course, and I finally finished it tonight. I tried to put a lot of love and creativity into it, but I know it still isn't perfect for a few reasons, the biggest being the course is pretty much too long for a one-try clear on the first playthrough unless you are pretty quick on your feet. I do apologize for that. I tried to look for and fix as many softlock conditions as possible, so please let me know if you find another. Also, some of the boss battles can get... messy, as well. I struggled mainly with trying to balance how many baddies were in each area to keep the challenge while also not making it unreasonable. Overall though, I hope some of you give it a try I'd love to hear your thoughts on how I did and what I could do better!

I made a jam level based around using switches to control light sources in a dark area, along with some other mechanics I found along the way (like using a superball to trigger POW blocks and P switches). Light Switch Slam 06D-H4B-SFG

My only problem with it is something that's more to do with a flaw in Mario Maker than with what you did: The level is quite long without checkpoints. The tight jumps in the donut block section were a slight problem for instance, and I could see one or two deaths there turning a few people off. Sadly wish Mario Maker allowed checkpoints in these sort of stages as that would completely mitigate this problem. Otherwise I liked the varied platforming challenges that were present. with the exception of a couple of deaths of aforementioned donut block section I felt like any mistakes I made were mine, which I feel like is a good sign for a level. It's good!

Spiffster posted:Not sure about the difficulty on this because the Magikoopas can throw some curveballs... For Trials: The randomness of the Magikoopas was a little annoying, but not to bad once you figure out how to manipulate them to get them to do what they want to do. I did really like how the rest of the areas were set up though, I'm a pretty big sucker for P-switch races in particular. ...I kinda wished I played this stage with sound on when I got to that part but hey, complete luck won out in the end! Good stage. For Fly: Short and sweet. At first I thought it was going to be a stage where were expected to die and trial-and-error your way through it but once I figured out how to dodge the first enemy it ended up fine.

This was my first level (since MM1 several years ago) and I just liked how the phrase "fiendishly difficult" sounded. I don't think this is one of my better levels now but it's still OK!

Impermanent posted:L5Y-XHV-Q1H "Spring High!" - A level I made to celebrate the humble spring. I really like this stage. Vertical stages so far have been underutilized (granted for good reason, it is in a widescreen format) but I felt like you did a good job of not have gotcha traps as I sprang upwards in the stage. You also didn't make me do the bane of Super Mario Maker/SMW romhacks and make me carry a spring somewhere, so you get points regardless. The only criticism I can think of is unfair since I don't know how you'd solve this problem, but it's easy to accidentally grab a springboard as you are going up the stage. It looks like you thought of that since at no point you have to cross large horizontal gaps, so perhaps this is a weak point. Regardless, I did really really like this stage.

Another bit of goofiness that exists more to be silly than anything else. Temple Trials D69-9M5-3KF Sorry for the lack of a reset door in the first puzzle, but it's a two stage thing and resetting after the first stage just leaves the exit open. But it's the first room so if you screw it up it's not bad to start over. To make up for that, there's an easy way to beat the final boss that I found and decided to leave in for anyone who was clever enough to go for it. The checkpoints might seem to be in slightly weird places but they're making your life easier where they are. Also, run at the second conveyor belt. You don't have to, but you'll be happier if you do.

Did I do my Blitz wrong? I randomized the style, theme, day/night, terrain blocks, enemies, gizmos, and forbidden blocks all via random.org. I rolled all this: Style: SMB3 Theme: Desert Day/Night: Night Terrain: Steep Slopes, Ice Blocks Enemies: Spiny, Muncher Gizmo: Bumper Power Up: Invincibility Star Forbidden: Cheep-cheep, Checkpoint flag I was sort of basing it as though it were a poor man's version of the widget that used to exist for MM1. However, had I understood what I was supposed to be doing, it would have been more like: Style: NSMBU Day/Night: Day Theme: Underground Terrain: Cloud Block Forbidden Enemies: Blooper and/or Buzzy Beetle Forbidden Gizmos: Arrow Sign Power-Up: Super Mushroom Italicized means I randomized that part myself because I didn't see anything about what style and time of day we were using.

Yeah, I liked making my level tonight, it came out differently to any other level I've ever made or ever would have thought of. That was the glory of that widget. Does my level still qualify for the Blitz however?

Been thinking of ideas on how to make a multiplayer level, versus or otherwise. What would be a good way to maybe have a level where there are multiple doors but only one player can enter a door or the area behind it at least? Or in general have a split path like that? Also what ways are there to have changes that affect the entire level? Been thinking of an idea where the players split up and do their individual challenges, but each, or at least most of the, paths have something like the switches or p-blocks that the players on their own paths need to use but also change the other one's in some way that makes them more challenging (having blocks make jumps harder/tighter or letting enemies out).
