I'd like to make a crumbling cathedral level. Is there any simple way of making things (preferably blocks or other solid objects) fall from the ceiling as Mario passes nearby/underneath?

Ruined Laboratory DB9-JM5-07G Night time forest with lots of environmental hazards and some enemies. SMB3. I'm not super jazzed about how this turned out. I think it's very true to the theme of exploring some kind of industrial ruin and and I'm really proud of the visual design, but I think I needed more planning when it came to the stage gimmick and a more straightforward path through. It seems very difficult to make a key-based level that anyone will bother to finish, due to only having one checkpoint available. "Exploration" and "dangerous environment" asks a lot of players if you don't have some super fun sections that people won't mind replaying or so many power-ups that the whole thing becomes trivial.

Used the randomizer! Quick level for tonight. One of my featured blocks was impossible to use because it was a locked door and I couldn’t use a key or key coins so I had to make due with what I had. Here are the fruits of it. Randomizer 1: Hop on Props 6WP-57H-8PF

If you ever wanna be instantly demoralized just watch a popular streamer play this game and get more plays and likes than you have total on one mediocre stage  DorianGravy posted:I'd like to make a crumbling cathedral level. Is there any simple way of making things (preferably blocks or other solid objects) fall from the ceiling as Mario passes nearby/underneath? Tracks. Make a track, place something on it, and then tap one of the ends. This will make anything on the track fall off when they reach the end. Blocks placed on tracks lose all collision with the ground (but not the player!) so you could make a bunch of tracks with blocks on them and hide them out of the players view up above. This would create the effect of falling objects. How good of a level you can make with random blocks falling from the sky is debatable though.

Yeah, I'll experiment with it to see if it's any fun. And if I do use it, I'll reserve it for certain sections. Maybe an escape out of the crumbling cathedral at the end?

Pwnguin posted:I am bad at naming things, so I'm probably just going to name all my levels after unrelated songs from now on. I do all alliteration. Speaking of which: Fungal Forest D84-J26-4YF I wanted to do something with NSMBU so I'd have at least one level with each style, but I hate how the wall jumping affects platforming. So I built the platforming around mushrooms which can't be wall jumped to. I also tried to make it easier than most of my previous levels.

Intl Cron posted:I'd appreciate it if people could check out this level I added to the spreadsheet - I wanted to experiment with the "darkness/illumination" mechanics in the night-mode Ghost Houses. I feel like it's a bit too complex and busy. The darkness mechanic puts a lot of mental pressure on the player, so you should make the enemies and platforming a bit simpler to compensate. The puzzles themselves were good, but the ones with enemies usually suffered for it - for example, the first one where you have to wall-jump between barely-visible on/off blocks didn't really need the giant Boos, and they just felt annoying since they'd inevitably maneuver themselves into a position that blocked the player if you took more than a couple of tries to nail it. In general, I often felt like the light wasn't in quite the right place (especially with the fireworks blocks, which usually lit up nothing but empty wall), and it wasn't always completely clear which way to go, which led me to jump into pits a couple of times thinking it was the way forward. Bluff Buster posted:Welp, just uploaded my first course. Not unbeatable, but pretty hard. The Cheep Cheeps from pipes and Bullet Blasters tend to pile up, since you can't get rid of them and they can follow you around the level without regard for terrain. And most of the challenges tend to force the player to complete them in a narrow time window that doesn't leave much room for dodging flaming fish. As for the Bowser Jr fight, that one is just mean. The boss and the uneven terrain are enough to focus on; throw in fish and Bob-ombs and it becomes pretty overwhelming.

You know what's fun? Spending seven minutes fighting a giant Meowser as you can get one claw swipe in before he jumps away and then spends forty seconds being completely unattackable. I wound up timing out on that course. It's getting the point that if I see a Meowser fight I want to boo the course. He's might be the worst thing about the 3D World set and given that the theme includes the car that's quite an accomplishment.

Random Stranger posted:Since you clearly want to make refinements, I'm going to run down a few things that made me go, "Huh," while playing: Re Checkpoint: Good point; I'll move it. I was already thinking of revamping that section because I realized when players started from the checkpoint that Pokey is right there. Re Invisible Block: I was going for a sort of "Oh no, how do I activate the lift before the side skewers break through the wall?" sort of thing. Maybe there are a bunch of ? blocks but only one of them has the P-Switch? Re Shaft: Good catch; that's an easy fix. Any thoughts on the boss fight at all? All my adjustments seemed to make the fight teeter back and forth between childishly easy and unpleasantly hard.

Meowser works best as the story mode demonstrated: a living obstacle to avoid during a climb or race and handily defeated with quick pow block use.

Spending seven minutes fighting a giant Meowser as you can get one claw swipe in before he jumps away and then spends forty seconds being completely unattackable. I wound up timing out on that course. I disagree IF he's given an appropriate amount of room. Big Meowser is almost impossible to make room for and always sucks, but small Meowser has a fairly satisfying attack pattern if he's not crowded. With wings he occasionally pops into the background to spit fireballs at you, but if you stand behind a tree or semisolid platform, he will immediately stop and resume a ground fight. That being said, most people won't give him enough room, so he just randomly pops up everywhere and spits fire.

I figured that enemy placement/spawning would be the most difficult part. I swear I'm not trying to make it too hard! Actually, while I was reworking it, I figured out that anything spawning out of warp pipes can't spawn while lava is covering them, which makes it easier to control when something spawns. Anyway, I went and reworked some spawns points and some areas, especially the boss. Burning Lava Fish (take 2) BTW-19J-0MF Question: If I make changes to a course already uploaded and save, does the uploaded course automatically update as well?

Big cozy post because I legit like making these little thumbnails Mario Moon Jump  A level attempting to put the night sky theme to good use. Posted it earlier in the thread but deciding to keep it for now. You're goal is to get as high as possible and come crashing back down to earth. Don't burn up on re-entry!!!!!! Marios Treetop Trouble  My latest project. A relaxing jog through a giant tree with some simple pla-wait what's that noise.
