I love the spiked crushers as a mechanic, but I really wish I could like hide the base beneath the ground or something because it literally doesn't match with any of the tile sets

Here's the meanest thing I've done so far. You want the helmet before the boss fight? Yoshi dies. You monster.  (Yes I know you can do screenshots through the switch but  )

New level code is BPY-M7M-S0H, can the spreadsheet be updated or should I resubmit? edit: Phantasium posted:I still appreciate that goon level that had a contraption that was just infinitely killing yoshis in a random room apropos of nothing. That was also me, 3JL-02W-0HF right around the checkpoint. Hidden Yoshi killing machines are a way better reward than 1ups imo. I can't take credit for the idea though, I found one on a GrandPooBear level and thought it was hilarious. internet celebrity fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Jul 10, 2019 |

You're in a castle, walking along when you look up and see a yoshi. It's opening it's mouth and rapidly bouncing. You watch a thowmp crush it against cold stone, sending it flying off the 2d plane, beating its legs as it grasps for purchase. But it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

Rollersnake that Whispering Bluffs level is fantastic, great work! re: plagiarised courses, I played the same course twice within five courses of each other on endless mode about half an hour ago. exact same design, by two different people, only difference being one was SMB3 and one was SMW. edit: ok, I just had this exact level show up again, but this time it was called “defualt autoscroll” (their misspelling, not mine). are there example levels Nintendo added that people are just submitting as their own?

Who's ready for more levels?? Thwomp Romp NN0-LK6-KXG A sequel to Thwomp Tromp, more Thwomps, more problems! Perishable Pipes G37-FTL-84G A vertical Pipe level filled with Plants and Claws! Water Plotter B5H-GJV-Y1H A 3D World water level that I tried to make enjoyable enough, it's filled with Squids, urchins and Piranhas! The Climb of Time DSJ-45K-WKG Another vertical level! This time you gotta climb all the way to the top via springs, seesaws and what have you. Platform Precision LWL-KPM-23G A stage I never finished in MM1 is now complete! This is a simple platform on track level. Ice Spice L3B-7C7-F1H A slippery ice level where you need to find 60 coins to complete! Can you find the secret coin? Bombarded by Bob-Ombs 4JS-M23-4CG This level is a remake of the Super Mario Advance 4 Super Mario bros 3. e-reader level of the same name! Sunkern Submarine GM5-NM8-DBG Another remade sorts of level of the Turtle Zone level from Super Mario land. 2 Lethal Lava Castle VKR-KG1-W4G This level is loosely the same level as one of the New Super Mario bros. 2 DLC courses. The POW-cage VH8-LL3-18G A remake of my very first course from Mario Maker 1, with an additional harder but more better designed course attached. Madness Manor N8L-8L2-LNG My hardest course to date so far, enter a deadly manor where you must unlock the exit via four doors.

Defenestrategy posted:Honestly make your revisions, pimp out your level till it gets two likes, and forget the level exists. You have standards, so just make a good level that people will like and people will eventually play it. My Zelda/Metroid crossover level gets no attention so it's not just that. The problem there is it has a 4% clear rate despite being trivially easy and I think I know why. Things that kill your play rate:
Asking player to engage with a level that does anything more complicated than asking them to jump on a goomba tanks the completion rate. I have noticed that the general playing public is incredibly stingy with their likes. I see you every time you play one of my levels and don't give it a like! All of you are going on the list! The World's Hardest Puzzle 9F3-VNK-SVF By: BabyRyoga You monster. SMV 1-B: Sawmill Sabotage DV1-BQB-BHF By: DarkLich This one felt a bit unnecessarily busy to me. Things just kept coming. Underground Factory DGK-WC3-N2G By: Cellular Getting that fire flower was a bit of a trick, but I pulled it off. Fortunately Mario can now crawl to get out of things. Pipe Mountain 1HB-483-4WF By: Pocky In My Pocket When you give me the power of flight, I don't care what your stage was about before; it's now about me seeing if I can get over most of it. But this is a solid, classic style level. Spooky Star WVH-M68-9NG By: Random Stranger Brilliant. A heartbreaking work of staggering genius. We can all only aspire to be as incredible as this creator. Hanging Gardens 91Y-BQ0-9BG By: Cervixalot So the very first thing I did was jump over the wall to your midpoint. It wasn't even an especially difficult jump. Making later sections of the level visible early on is good, but you have to be super careful that players can't take advantage of it. Otherwise, decent level. The mushroom that goes right off into the munchers which is also in the middle of a bunch of tight jumps was a bit tough to deal with, but the level as a whole was fine. Just a couple of jumos 7BS-Y4D-6VG By: Padomyme Zero jumos on this stage. Auto-boo. More seriously, I'm not a big fan of one trick levels. Strange Factory 1FT-BRF-GXG By: found sound Fun layout with the progress of the factory and then letting players go wild at the end. Goomba Rescue BF7-GKF-WYF By: lol 10 bux Interesting take on the escort stage and I liked your anti-scouting mechanism. One small problem, however: I broke it. In the last section with the two stage donut blocks, I didn't see where the goomba was going until it was almost on top of the note and squished him. But that section has a long, stable period so I just waited it out and then walked to the end. Another issue was the goomba is about 20% of the way across the screen but you have to stay behind him to get across the icicles. It's kind of clumsy to do that. The Perilous Vine Skyway 7LS-F1Q-6BG By: Ikubi Akius Fun vine track stage. I tried to carry a shell through most of it and that didn't help. Snake Way S4T-9SQ-4DG By: Ometeotl A real grinding challenge level. I stopped in the second half because I wasn't having a lot of fun repeating the same climb over and over for incremental progress. The Boomer Brothers' Treasure VR6-R8D-3VF By: Castor Poe Short and pleasant level. I liked the ending twist. Surfin' with Charvaargh CGF-15N-WDG By: Phantasium Interesting idea, but the timing on the charvaarghs put in a situation where I couldn't dodge on multiple occasions. Also, one time I somehow stole a box. No, I don't know how, I just managed to grab a box and jump out of the lava at the same time. I'm assuming it happened because I'm amazing.

japtor posted:It feels like the Mario Maker equivalent of Mario Kart's "I'm Using Tilt Controls!" And now I have to alternate "Im using toaddete" with that. japtor posted:I haven't played too many yet but so far I've been using the same criteria I had with MM1...if it doesn't have any cheap feeling or overly obnoxious stuff, and is fun in some way (enough platforming, or inventive puzzles or whatever), it gets a like. It's a fairly low bar but it's a simple criteria to work with. There was one I played the other day that was so close, but tossed in a blind jump at the end I try to be pretty generous with tossing out likes. Did it feel like it was something crafted instead slapped together in a few minutes? Did it not do anything especially hateful toward the player? Did I have any kind of fun? The button is getting hit. There's so many levels getting uploaded to the MM2 servers that don't clear even the lowest threshold that anyone who does needs that like to help boost the signal.

NofrikinfuN posted:I don't know how you guys can resubmit levels. I had to bug three different streamers to get up to 28 total plays on my second level. Starting over I would probably never see another 15. I was lamenting how the level I uploaded five days ago was stagnating without me begging for plays, and then last night it apparently popped up in the popular tab and I had 500 plays in the space of like 3 hours even though I mostly gave up on advertising it. If you have a good like ratio, I think its just a waiting game until The Algorithm decides its your levels time.

Also Ive also seen a couple expert-level courses in the popular list, and one constant Ive always found between them is that the checkpointing is really, really good, and you can hold right and jump over things (even if you need precise jump heights) for the first second out of every checkpoint so youre not stuck waiting for some dumb bullshit. I think this is the most important thing for expert stuff having wide appeal because it minimizes downtime when youre not moving, and moving is fun

(i originally wanted to make a cramped little labyrinth based entirely around jumps of this size, but it gets so annoying so quickly that i didn't have any fun building it.)

AntiZorn posted:Uploaded a second level, traditional Mario play this time: Touch Buzzy was a decent little hop and bop. I think you wanted the player to have to use the snake block at the end but I just slid down the wall to victory. As for your other level, the reason people nope out after 15 seconds is you put a Bowser Junior fight right at the start making sure people would find the beginning of your stage too annoying to want to retry. Boss fights should pretty much be avoided altogether unless your level had a strong theme and you can think of a way to incorporate said theme into the boss fight.

J-Spot posted:This was neat but I didn't care for how you only allowed for one tile between the spike and the hard blocks that need to be broken. For a moment there I wasn't sure it was going to be doable with big Mario since the dry bone shell doesn't allow for ducking but I finally finagled my way in there. If that's what you really wanted me to do then fair enough I guess. Getting in a state where you have both the dry bone shell and spiny helmet is pretty unforgiving due to how you lose one if you take a hit going after the other. Thanks for the feedback, i'll make some changes to those parts to make it a little more forgiving

I'm still doing random goon levels from https://randomactsofmario.com/ . The real question is, why aren't you? Snowswitch QCW-JSH-0NG By: beerinator It's a solid stage, but I can't say it really brings anything new to the jumping between platforms turning off and on style of stages. The Wrecking Ruins HQQ-0PY-C6G By: ThisIsACoolGuy A fun smashing level, but as I played it I was getting a real deja vu feeling. 1-9 JJ3-SW4-2FL By: Castor Poe The level wasn't found. Volcanic Voyage WGM-2WN-HNF By: Random Stranger This creator has gone way downhill. Abe's Descent Y7K-P6X-VPF By: FlashFearless Another missing level and getting two in a row made me think there was something going on with Nintendo. But no... Poison Shroom Bridge N6W-FQG-LHG By: Asadasa This is a fast little level with a decent flow but more careful players can take their time. It works nicely. Radical Rail Shooter N2H-61N-X6G By: Vegastar Fun level and I like the way that you used the 30 coin to give people a risk/reward option. Caddyshack J3N-SWV-GKG By: Coco13 19 Rocky Wrenches instead of 18? Auto-boo for violating your own theme. BTW, thanks to this level I learned that my school bus used to pick me up at the same place where they shot Caddyshack. A Salty42 Tribute 74R-G6C-LQF By: Defenestration_Strategy Troll levels need to be pretty creative to not just be boring or mildly annoying. Since I'm not a youtuber who gets twenty cents every time I freak out about some minor thing happening, this one wasn't worth it to me. Rusting Rotted Shroomworks 7JR-74F-7QF By: Internet Kraken Great level theming and structure. My only problem is in the last section I took a lot of poisoned mushrooms to the face from them spawning in at unseen points as I jumped up. Good Sphere posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJN8zW5a8i8 I actually encountered a random level using these structures last week. It had two plays at the time I encountered it...

 Looking at the failures I really should have swapped those flames around, especially with the added check point I didn’t realise that’s just going to punish people who want to just immediately jump right if they’ve had to restart. Oh well, live and learn and all that, at least people are playing it this time!

One small suggestion is to put some coins on top of the icicles on the waterwall thing because I didn't know you could jump on top of them. Also maybe add some more enemies to stomp on. Thanks! Really appreciate you folks playing my stage. I'm going back and forth on reuploading and losing my precious dozen or so plays. If people aren't clear that you can jump on the icicles on the "frozen waterfall" maybe it's almost environmental discovery? Relatedly, is there any way to make enemies default to walking right instead of left?
