Huxley posted:I spent enough years as a newspaper writer, it's deep in my bones not to spend a lot of time revisiting things that are done. Madness lies down that path. If you're asking for general courses that goons are proud of I'll throw this at you.  I'm still a big fan of it and I wish it blew up because I think the flow of it is really good.  If you want something to just turn your brain off and run at I made something similar that's ultra straight forward. Just gotta run and jump at obvious points really.  I like to think most of my courses are good though so eh. Bias  Phantasium posted:i swear i wasn't deliberately trying to get a good vid out of this, i'm just that dumb and lucky I have this happen a lot when I play levels and I'm grinding out a win. Just sheer panic as I mash a attack button "nonononono" Nice when it works out though  v Also thank you for playing the stage!

Dr Pepper posted:MicroLevel: Switch and Smash I want to talk about this level and the extreme importance of testing this level showed me. I had made this level to basically be as death free as possible. There aren't any enemies and the little platforming challenges you have just drop you below a one-way wall and to a door back at the start. Yet it has a 50% clear rate. So I check it, and it turns out people are dying to the spiny-shell. They jump up and run into the shell, despite it being pushed away from them on a conveyor belt. I had assumed people would, even if they did jump up on it, not run into the one object in the entire level that can hurt Mario. But nope. They do. I realize now in hindsight what I should have done is put the shell behind a one way wall so that the player can't run to it and it can still be moved into position when the proper switch is hit. Of course, if that had been done the only way to die would have been to wait out the 500 second timer. Somebody would have done that, I bet.

If anybody is bored tonight, here is a 25 second auto-Mario course I plucked off New Courses. I got it down to 7.433, but I think there's still some time you could shave. Come and take my WR from this random person's no-touch auto course with an 18% clear rate. BB8-1XY-GMG

Doing some random stages: Topsy-Turvy Caves JTL-C0J-8DF By: The Lobster Decent little level, but not a whole lot to it other than having to do the stage forward and then backward. No Enemies 590-126-6SG By: Talyn Golic This is a weird level. There's huge scattering of things, but no real unified concept and the intention seems to be just figure out which of the branching paths actually goes to the goal. It makes the level feel kind of flat. Up and Down Again DVK-LXW-KFG By: Dr Pepper Nifty autoscrolling with a good mix up for the challenges going down. It had a good rhythm for the platforming so it felt challenging but at the same time not out of control. Da Dip 93B-QW5-BNG By: Overbite The course wasn't found. Saw 3: The Comfy Chapter 2YK-8QT-WWF By: Defenestrategy Interesting stage. That thwomp gimmick at the end was kind of unintuitive. Sawmill Creek Koopa Infestation CFF-K9F-56G By: Colonel Whitey Cool concept with guiding the unmanned cars through sections. All about Toimin' KT3-402-9XG By: hyphz I'm not sure this stage worked the way you intended. I skipped the wall jumps before the checkpoint and I didn't use the goombas at all before the flag. H110Hawk posted:Just bought a switch and this game. Haven't even launched it yet, should I do the campaign first or just screw around? The campaign is great for seeing some good levels that demonstrate the game mechanics. You're not going to stumble into any duds there or grotesquely unfair levels. But feel free to check out https://randomactsofmario.com/ for goon stages or just start designing. The Dojo (accessed by the pidgeon icon at the bottom of the menu) has a ton of great lessons to help people understand how to make a good level.

Re-made one of my favourite gimmicks from SMM1, it's an optional puzzle level! There's the regular route as expected through the level, and the route I had to take to upload it. 30 second coin challenge X7B-FDB-WXG  Difficulty: Most of the rooms are the easier end of expert... I think. At least one of them is definitely normal. Special route difficultly: super expert

A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:I've just now started going through goon levels because I just got this at the start of the week, but y'all are very good at making at making things that are very atmospheric despite the limited pieces the game gives you to work with. Even when I make something that plays well I never feel like I'm creative enough to make it look cool. Making stuff that looks good mainly boils down to using parts in creative ways. Functionally speaking, almost all decoration are usually either functionally identical to more basic stuff or do literally nothing. In some cases you get levels where the parts are used in a unique decorative and mechanical fashion, like in my beehive level (forgive the self-indulgence). The falling donut platforms create the visual style of the stage while also serving as a big gameplay mechanic as most of the terrain is unstable. That's the ideal, but its not always possible. As long as your decorative touches don't interfere with gameplay, go crazy with em. But I think the best way to start using parts decoratively is actually to try and create a course around a theme and do your best to sell that theme. I assume most people build levels around gameplay first, which is obviously the normal way, but approaching from the theme perspective can work really well.

To answer your question at the end, I added a hidden key in one of the rooms as a reward for going out of their way. It can skip the pink coins, the boss, or allow access to that bonus door.

I'm working on a NSMB Low-G level with some very long jumps. Normally I use coin trails to indicate where the player should go, but one section is directly after a P-switch hit so that's not possible. I'll probably use tracks for an indicator there, should I use tracks for the whole level for consistency even though I don't think they look as nice as coins?
