Orange Crush Rush posted:After realizing every course I've made took like at least four hours of Making, I tried to see if I could blow one out in less then 10 minutes and what I got is Flying Fish of Fury For 10 minutes worth of making it was still a pretty entertaining Mario course! Nice, short and sweet. I appreciated the higher subsurface platform placement.

Getting in before the blitz, I made A Feeling of Deja Vu PDB-5P9-YDG The Eight Coins of Soleluna Forest gave me the basic idea, and the goon level I played the other day about the koopas drilling too deep (I've forgotten the name, but I liked it) contributed to the aesthetic. So, uh... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

Reviews: #24 SMB3: fast, chill winter secrets It was nice but too short/easy. #539 Spinies... Fire at Will! I loved this level. Nice platforming challenge and great aesthetic. Felt like it could have been in SMB3. Maybe a little too short also. #640 Abe's Cavern Excellent use of open space. Felt like a big barren cavern. ----- My contribution: 39M-XW6-DCG POW camp Tried to make a nice medium difficulty platforming level using koopa shells and POW blocks.

 Title: Winter Walk Code: F8X-L1D-D0G Description: Take a leisurely stroll through a winter wonderland. Can you find all the secrets? This course is a remix of SMB3 2-5 and has the difficulty of a World 2, it's meant for the kiddos to play and explore because my SMB "classic" level has a clear rate of 20%. Difficulty: Piss-Easy

Hello everyone! This is my first Mario game. I love it and I really like the spirit of it. But Endless mode is really getting my goat. Easy endless mode is so trivially easy that I might as well not be playing a game. Normal endless mode is a mix of "Normal" levels which I enjoy, and levels that are beatable but painfully unfun, or levels that require some impressive meta-knowledge of how everything interacts that I just don't have. Am I just really poo poo or is there a better way to go about this?

playing some goon levels after work on a friday  Orange Crush Rush posted:After realizing every course I've made took like at least four hours of Making, I tried to see if I could blow one out in less then 10 minutes and what I got is Flying Fish of Fury this def feels like it was made real quick but it was fun! a good romp through a fishy forest. i have to admit i didn't actually pay any attention to the condition so the first time through i just blitzed to the end and uh, whoops! nrook posted:Please enjoy my incredibly good level that definitely isn't a dumb joke taken way too far. i haven't done any calculus whatsoever since high school and i still beat your dang nerd level Internet Kraken posted:I decided to reupload this course after tweaking the start section. If the spreadsheet could be updated with the new code, that'd be appreciated. i didn't play the original but i loooove the vibe of this level. the descent down into the depths was real cool, and trying to loot the place without pissing off too many ghosts was cool, and trying not to fall too far behind your escape route was cool. my only real quibble isn't even on you, but i wish the game's vertical scroll worked a bit faster for upward movement Rhythmancer posted:The Old Sawmill the smw desert music was a good fit for the ominous inner workings of an unsafe lumber mill. i'm a big sucker for visual themes and this ticked all those boxes. i do think the optional locked room felt a bit aimless though

My first MM level! The Golden Greens Treasure everywhere! (If your shell game is up to it, at least.) MMB-12K-NKG I love collecting coins and bouncing turtle shells, so I made a level with a lot of that. Lots of secrets and alternate paths through the level too. I've never done Mario Maker before(never had WiiU), and I made this over the July 4th weekend as a little challenge to my daughter and her cousin. I struggled with just how difficult to make the thing, at first giving it a super tight timer, but in the end I just opted for fun and exploration. A lot of mechanics and such are super amateur, but it was fun learning about stuff the editor is capable of. Hot drat this game is fun even if my levels aren't.

DarkLich posted:This is very good feedback, thank you. I try to put the checkpoints SLIGHTLY out of the way so that they're sub optimal for speed runners. Risk/reward and all that. However in an auto-scroll level, I guess that matters a little less. You're right though, no one should fear death when trying to get to their checkpoint. Played through your levels, and wrote whatever thoughts I had after the end of each: Jelly trap jolt Pretty good use of the underwater darkness, I felt like it almost could’ve used a few more lights but in the end it wasn't necessary. Overall it felt pretty good. Lakitu Landing I like the concept here, but the execution made it feel a little slow. I'm not the biggest fan of fighting/dealing with lakitus either, so a bit of personal bias here. Ruinous ruins Probably didn’t need the clear condition, though I definitely understand why you have it. The spikes felt a bit ugly, but I’m not sure you had any better options. The tags are auto Mario and music which seem... wrong. Smv 1-1 A bit unconventional to have a water based level as 1-1! I liked what you did with the multiple paths, power ups seemed reasonable spaced as well. Got a bit confused with the checkpoint bonus area the first time since I went in with a fireflower. Just killed the spiny and immediately exited. Smv 1-2 Felt pretty long, and I had to play more cautiously than I’d expect to have to. Solid use of the theme! Smv 1-3 Did I miss a boot? How are you supposed to get into the 10 coin room? I managed to do so with a very specific jump, but I feel that shouldn’t be necessary, and I assume damage boosting is never the solution. Not a fan of the arrows/pit on the left in the subworld. Disobeying the first arrow gets you a prize (mushroom). Disobeying the second arrow results in your death. I would prefer adding a wall to the left of the mushroom. Nitpicking aside, I liked the level. 1-b Solid airship themed level. Felt a bit busy at times with the saws moles and on/off switches (particularly around the second checkpoint), but that just might be the nsmb theme messing with me. 2-1 Did I miss a cape in the first section? If not, that jump to the 10 coin is a whole lot trickier than I would’ve expected. Almost ran out of time because I was busy exploring. 2-2 The stage was way too long for a slow autoscroller, I couldn’t be bothered to jump for the 30 coin because I didn’t want to risk having to sit through that again. Suffered from standard autoscroller emptiness. The falling platforms killing you due to being impatient after the second checkpoint were a bit rude. Decoration was done well, it fit with the chill music/atmosphere. 2-3 Still a bit too much bomb excavation towards the end, but overall you did it pretty well. I particularly liked the 10 and 50 coins. Vertical scrolling with icicles is a bit rough because the screen doesn’t scroll fast enough, so despite the fact that they fit your theme, they were more annoying than anything. 2-b Block use for the citadel was great. I find the wind tornados a bit janky but you made pretty good use of them. The 50 coin was particularly good. 3-1 I’m enjoying your use of coloured pipes. Could’ve done without the underwater section, but it was still fun. 3-2 Could’ve done without most of the boos, I don’t feel they really added too much. I liked the drybones. Good use of the see saw too. 3-3 Felt pretty good, but maybe I’m just conditioned by the smb3 airship music+theme. Had standard slowness and standing around issues, but I liked your claw+crate setup. I missed one of the checkpoints due to the autoscroll. Didn't end up needing it, but that would feel pretty bad otherwise. 3-b Cool idea! Some of the underwater sections were a bit rough because the lava bubbles weren’t going back into pipes. Underwater boss fight was a bit awkward but a great setup. Overall, the main issue I have with your levels is that they feel a bit long, I would've expected most of them to end around the second checkpoint. I got close to timing out the full five minute timer on at least three different levels, and I'm pretty sure I'm not moving that slowly. Part of the problem is that they feel more exploration-based, and I often feel punished for attempting to run/climb too quickly. This is personal preference area, so take that as you will. The design and decoration of all of your stages was great!

I had a few concerns about pacing and level length, so it's nice to see those confirmed by other players. This is useful for letting me know what I should strengthen and avoid. DorianGravy posted:At the risk of oversaturation, I wanted to re-advertise one of my levels: Crumbling Sky Cathedral (NQ3-CCM-3QG). Been playing some other goons levels in my downtime, including this one. Big fan of the art style here. It's not often I want to go back and play a level to explore more, but you accomplished it here. I'm enjoying the goon levels overall, and will try to check out more.

https://twitter.com/SAMarioMaker/status/1149846651890274304 Here are the rules that will stay the same: You have 24 hours to make a Blitz course from when I first post the rules for the Blitz. This should give a chance for everyone in the world to participate. When you start upload your course in 30 minutes or less (this is really, really fast BTW), or in an hour or less (this is more like it), or in two hours or less (if you're a real perfectionist like me) Blitz 2 rules The theme is: Fire Flower The other allowed objects are, Blocks: Slopes, Semisolids, Hard Blocks Powerups: 1Ups Enemies: Spiny, Thwomp, Rocky Wrench, Wiggler Gizmos: Fire Bar, Tracks Bonus: ? Blocks that contain powerups Wild: Replace any one of the above items (except Fire Flower) with any other item of the same type. You cannot use any other items. You can modify any objects however you like, use any style, theme and all sound effects. This means you can use the Superball Flower instead of the Fire Flower if you want (or both). You can't use any (nonslope) ground blocks that aren't a part of the start or exit.
