Been busy due to auditions and work for the past couple days but I’m back and I have brought two new levels! Feedback is appreciated! Randomizer 2: Bullies on Ice 656-LCT-2QG made this one in a half hour as a warm up with the randomizer website provided. Turn on a Dime 8M3-S0K-X7G I like the clown car powerup... dunno why. Pretty sure this was inspired by the randomizer but I couldn’t remember since it was started a few weeks ago and finished today. And because I don’t think I added it to the spreadsheet (will rectify that) here are two of my older ones Trials & Incantations Redux! 00M-QK6-8NG - some goons streamed the original of this but it was a bit unintuitive and unfair so I tuned it up a bit. I hope it’s better for you Randomizer 1: Hop on Props 6WP-57H-8PF The original Randomizer I did. Will be adding all these to the spreadsheet now. Thanks for all the fun you Goons have given!

Been working up a few lately, this is the one I'm happiest with right now so I thought i'd share it. Like all my levels, it's aimed for Expert or so difficulty since that's what I enjoy playing most. As a plumber, you are uniquely suited to finding the simple on-off switch to end Global Warming! NW0-QGJ-XVF (the latter half of the level can either be tricky or an intentional victory lap depending on how you hit shells.)

I made a new level. It may have actually been the hardest level for me to make in either SMM1 or 2. I doubt the quality of the level is gonna justify the time spent making it, but sometimes you get an idea that you gotta see through I guess.

My fifth level! Magikoopa's Castle (XPM-VN5-CTF) Have heart! Breach the castle defenses and brave the dangers within. Magikoopa is up to something, and you need to put a stop to it!  I got interested in making a level where you have to get over castle walls. I considered requiring some bullet-bill or cannonball bouncing, but decided I didn't want it to be too hard. As always, feedback is very appreciated! Four of my five levels end in boss fights. What's a satisfying way of ending a level that isn't a boss fight?

New Power-up Gauntlet: 2DM-KQH-RVG My first attempt at a 3D World level, so it may be a bit wonky. Relies a lot on tricks with the new power-ups. Throwing crates through clear pipes, gliding with the cat, etc. I think some of it might be laid out a bit vaguely, so if you don't understand a section, please let me know! Bone Jumpin' v2: LL4-NKN-FGF Re-upload of an old level of mine. It had an abysmal clear rate so I changed it up a bit and added another checkpoint. totempoleman fucked around with this message at 13:16 on Jul 29, 2019 |

A reiteration of the main gimmick that you need to pull off to hit the top of the pole is always nice. I tend to make it easier as a sort of cooldown/reward for mastering the concept.

Didn't understand the appeal of Mario maker until my partner got it, and now I'm hooked on creating levels for him to play. A couple newbie hard-ish platforming levels: Don't miss the jumps! GDG-GPP-DPF A Detour Underground VXM-86F-5HF I don't completely understand how enemy spawning etc work yet ... I'm terrible at Mario but I'm playing other people's levels to get ideas. Going to start working through the goonsheet.

I'd rather have a level end with no boss than another "thrilling" confrontation against giant Bowser with a respawning fire flower.Schmeichy posted:I don't completely understand how enemy spawning etc work yet ... It'd be a good idea to watch the tutorials if you haven't. One of them is about this, though it doesn't get super detailed. The most basic way to think about is this; imagine a box around Mario. This box is the game's loading radius. Enemies don't exist until they enter this loading radius. The radius is exactly 4 blocks larger than what you see on screen at any moment, so stuff can load in off-screen and enter it to give the illusion of everything being active at once. Everything that gets loaded stays loaded until you move far enough away from it; the despawn radius is slightly larger than the actual loading radius though. However, if an enemy despawns due to loading, it will be loaded in again if you backtrack to its spawning position. If an enemy is killed by Mario though, it doesn't respawn no matter how far you travel. Additionally, if you go through a door, warp box, or pipe you will trigger a global reload of the stage and all enemies can spawn again even if they were killed by Mario. This loading mechanic works for a lot of non-block entities in Mario Maker, not just enemies. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Jul 29, 2019 |

I made a Meowser stage awhile back that like, kicks rear end but I haven't seen a good level with him aside from that. 4 pow blocks kill a big meowser so I feel like that's just the right amount for a stage, especially given his gimmick for leaving and harassing. You'd *think* more people would see him as the hazard he is and try to design a chase stage with him in mind, not just lock him in a room and have you spam respawning fire flowers/hammers at him but... y'know.

Made my first 2d world level Bounce House Mouse Trounce - 2B4-4C3-08G after playing with it for a while, I feel like its kinda the training wheels maker, with the slightest bit of effort you can make an above average level, but its hard to make really spectacular things happen without poo poo like bill launchers, on and off blocks, tracks, one way doors, etc. It's probably the best and easiest way to make a solid standard course though.

I was curious to see how people would react if the entire level is optional. This is a Super Mario World level that mainly uses the underground theme. Mystery Cave D9H-5VW-JNG Will you take the easy way out, or will you explore the mystery cave?

Probably best to set it on ground. I played that and never noticed that happening before. You are talking about he part after the quick run section correct? Gonna have to fix it

Boos Cruise - LDK-D9B-YDF You might remember this as one of my MM1 courses. It's back, with some mild-to-moderate alterations. Scaresville - 6Q7-MT6-VQG So here's another MM1 level, one that only I like. You're allowed to like it too, but you're gonna be lonely. Born of my love of the weird level design in the Game Boy games.  Just Desert - YD2-N67-42G Not a MM1 course or a ghost house course, but it is one of my famous Mario 3 desert courses and also an experiment with the tornado thingies. Please play it.

Schmeichy posted:Didn't understand the appeal of Mario maker until my partner got it, and now I'm hooked on creating levels for him to play. A couple newbie hard-ish platforming levels: So I only played the first one because the servers keep going down. I've got some feedback that I mean well with, but there's a couple things to work on here. 1) There's not really a coherent theme here. It's a bunch of donut blocks, then some Koopas, some fish, some spinies, that are kind of thrown at the player. I think you could've taken the donut concept and some of the enemies and built a sort of repeating or escalating style of challenge out of them. As it is it's just kind of a mess of enemy spam. It's tough, not too tough, but without a coherent point or pattern to what's happening it's hard to get into it. 2) Aesthetically it's just blocks and enemies, which isn't necessarily a problem, but if your level doesn't have a strong theme in terms of mechanics, the aesthetic can be a draw. 3) You've got rear end in a top hat blocks where the player is going to jump, in multiple places. Those CAN be fun/clever, but it's very hard to do so.

I tend to make it easier as a sort of cooldown/reward for mastering the concept. But what if I want to make SMB3 levels, which doesn't have a flagpole? (All five of my levels so far are SMB3, because that's what I grew up with.) J-Spot posted:This was great! Thanks! I played your levels "Perilous Parkour Palace" and "What? KAMEK is Evolving!", and both were fantastic. Perilous Parkour Palace had a perfect difficulty for a hard level, and I wish I could find more levels that take this approach. You gave mulitple power-ups, allowed the player to rest between challenges, and gave multiple checkpoints. I like hard levels that allow the player to make mistakes and not immediately lose. (Also, wall-jumping is fun.) KAMEK is Evolving had a clever progression, and I enjoyed confronting the ever-evolving Kamek. Last Visible Dog: You commented on my recent level, so I picked one of your levels to play. I picked your most popular one, "The Floor is Made of Cannons", and wow that is inventive! How did you make the cannons move? Really nice work. I want play some of the recently-posted levels, but I'm having trouble loading things (there's maintenance going on or something?), so I'll have to wait for another time.

I can't imagine there are many people here that do this, but I really prefer it when people don't just put 3 one-ups at the end of their course. Sure its being "nice" but it makes any work I did to collect coins/find secrets earlier in the stage feel totally pointless.

Man, I'm working on my jam level as I had a goofy idea I'm happy with- but it's a auto scroller. I'm really nit-picky about playtesting my levels when I make adjustments so work is going soooo slow. I think it would lose a lot of the uh... "story" if I turned autoscroll off though.
