 Climb Vines, Duck Bills GCY-B1K-QQF Traditional level focused on vines and Bullet Bills. No Kaizo. First level in SMM2 but pretty much the first in a series of loose remakes I wanna make of ones I made in SMM1. Generally trying to make them even easier and more on brand and canonical.

Circle Nine posted:Thanks, and yeah that code is wrong because I deleted to original upload to make it a little easier and make the koopa jump section I thought 100% consistent but I guess not quite. Since I'm more or less entirely taking away player control there I didn't want there to be any chance of failure at all. My only thought is that you might not be using the springs on the wall before the treadmill to gain the initial boost of extra speed? I used the springs, but yeah, I just just holding down when ducking. I didn't realize that you would go faster with down-forward. (What sense does that make?) Has that been a part of Mario games for a while, or is it relatively new? Still a fun level. I guess you should keep an eye on your clear rate, though; if it's near zero, I bet that other people aren't using that technique either.

You can usually assume anything under 40% is normal, under 10% is in expert, and under 2% is in super expert but that's not a hard rule as one player could tank your clear rate but if other players have an easier time it will take that into account.

The amount of chaff in the “New Courses” section compared to in Endless proves that 2’s course selection is doing its job. Unless it is clearly made by a four year old, I will “Boo” with impunity. Bad makers must be punished for their misdeeds and laziness. I really enjoy playing all the stuff in that section and getting first-clears. At least that’s what I keep telling myself to power through into getting the clothes tied to first-clears.

That one's more the exception in my experience. Most of the levels I play in new courses are mediocre-to-good. I'll Like courses I otherwise wouldn't just to get them exposure if they're halfway good. It kinda sucks that a lot of good courses will end up with no exposure, but otherwise Nintendo's current system to get courses into Endless seems like it works well enough.

Yeah, Endless seems to be a lot better this time around with the new system. At least I haven't run into as much garbage, and I know people 1) haven't gotten any better at making Mario and 2) aren't looking at the tutorials.

Getting to 100 easy levels was a slog through some real drek. OTOH, there were only two or three auto-levels in the whole process so that's something. I checked my stats and I am currently sitting at 399 courses played. Got to pick something special for the big 400.

I've made two levels so far. My first level attempt and one for blitz 1. I really don't know what in doing so sorry if they suck! (The blitz level seems pretty bad). Any feedback very welcome! Let's go skiing! A semi themed course about doing slope jumps. I accidentally tagged it as blitz 0 on the spreadsheet but it isn't a blitz or jam level. PP6-R2P-J3G Icy Ride Blitz 1 level that probably took over 2 hours to make (forgot to time) and the ideas really didn't come together. Lots of fast snake blocks that don't make it clear where they are going. J2S-JQM-C1G Some goon levels that I have played so far: Rooftop Party by adinosaur DNJ-HXV-94G I love this level! The first time I got through it without bringing the switch I laughed way too hard. Great themeing and a challenging but fair level. Specter Switch Soiree by AlBorlandCorp 9PW-212-1JF This took me forever to clear but it's a good level. Lots of interesting/unique puzzles! I'll try to be better about writing down my thoughts as I play the levels, because I've played a bunch of other goon levels but can't remember them well enough to comment on. The quality overall is really really good though!

Could we add a difficulty field to the level input spreadsheet? I feel like it would be nice to separate stages of different difficulty. It's going to be a bit vague regardless (since authors are not necessarily going to be great at telling how hard their stage is) but I think it'd still be useful. I labeled my recent level as Kaizo even though it isn't really Kaizo at all (not super compressed, no extremely precise maneuvering required, no troll hidden blocks) because I think people looking for standard levels would be irritated by the difficulty.

Much better than the level selection I got trying to unlock the costumes in normal 100 Mario back in the day. You did have to play 1600 levels (okay, some of them could be obtained on easy) to get those. That's a grind and a half Most of the stuff I've encountered in easy has been kind of low effort, "eh" things. I'll take that over mountains of poo poo that I often had to wade through in MM1, but it dips into "Why would you think anyone would want to play this?" pretty regularly.

I hope BigRed2025 follows me as a creator and comments on all of my levels. I need to have his thoughts on them. Also, I kind of wish more people would use the comment system. I tried doing stuff with it, but the Mario paint tools are too limited to even leave a garbage picture easily and I don't want to write up a quarter-tweet length comment and then come back to the thread to post basically the same thing. Maybe it needs more stickers. Artic Puma posted:Icy Ride Short and sweet for this one. Something to be aware of is snake blocks don't respawn unless you move far enough to unload that section of the level and come back. I-cycled the snake blocks fast and fell off and in another stage that could have locked me out. It's a property of them that's not good and can be unexpected as you learn them. I hope nobody makes any more blitz levels. The freeze puns are getting to be really difficult.

I made a new level that I feel is a good example of coming up with ideas I think are cool and then being unable to recreate them as I wanted in game. I wanted something like the beginning of Indiana Jones where you go in the temple and can avoid the traps until you grab the idol and then everything goes wrong and you have to escape while the temple falls apart. I couldn't figure out how to make it fall apart because the bob ombs would not cooperate with the switches so I had to change it. I still think it turned out OK but it is not quite what I had imagined. Legend of the Big Coin 6W9-542-79G

I made a terrible level! Also my first level! Spooky Scary Skeletons Course ID: 4VM-03R-MYG Difficulty: Hard Multiplayer Friendly?: No It's a VERY short but fairly difficult level. I'm not a very good player though so it's hard for me to judge. But it took me like 10 minutes to beat it. I guess I should add more to get some interest. It's a simple skill-based challenge level that's incredibly short. My clear time was 19 seconds. Anyone who is good at jumping off of enemy heads should be fine at it. I kind of only came up with it after reading the first post and the talk about themed challenges and the escalation and that's my newbie attempt at trying to use those principles. I only ever made one other course for SMM1 and it was similar but a lot weaker, probably. Kchama fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Jul 6, 2019 |

My Bros of the Wild stage has 0.00% clear rate still and I think I know why. I saw a streamer play it that is quite good, and they didn’t know how to use the charge shot with the Fire Kupa Clown Car to get past a wall. P I haven’t seen it used much as a mechanic, but I swear it was used on one of the early courses.
