Just wanted to say that I filtered the sheet to the kaizo smw levels, and I’m having a blast. Trying to capture as many playthroughs as I can to upload for viewing. Here’s one that I spent so much time on by Great Green. https://twitter.com/zfleeman/status/1157317633013952515

Some thoughts on some recent and ROAM levels: The Ultimate Fortress of DOOM!!! by Internet Kraken FK9-67Q-Y8G I’ve played through most of your MM2 levels and this is probably my favorite by far. It felt really good to see that flying beetle pass by the first castle parapet, thinking “I wonder what happens if I try to ride this pass the rest of the level” and then riding it to find a coin trail and a big coin matching the route I was taking on it. One thing I would recommend changing would be to take out the Thwomp section. The level is already pretty long for a Mario level, and it doesn’t feel cohesive with the rest of the level. It’s not bad, it just doesn’t feel additive since its short and doesn’t really play on any of the other ideas in the level. Mixing the flying beetles with a castle level instead of putting them in a sky level like normal Mario levels would was a really cool twist that worked well. This level had good pacing and I liked how the Goombas were used. I would be really interested to see another level that has a focus on the flying beetles since they’re not used often in Mario Maker levels. 20 Second Airship Adventure! by Huxley D34-507-4HF I had to give up on this one. I have no clue how to get past the 2nd cannonball cannon. If I try to jump on the cannonball from the first one I always hit the side of it, and if I try to jump off the 1st cannon onto the 2nd I always get clipped by the cannonball coming out of the cannon. I feel like a coin trail or some type of marker would make this a lot less frustrating because then I would know how I’m at least supposed to be approaching these jumps. Mega Action Robot: M.A.R.I.O. by Last Visible Dog CN5-K4D-9MF Love the aesthetics on this one. At first, I thought the parts with the ON/OFF switch and bouncing the spiny shells were out of place, but when everything came together at the end it was really cool. No clue how you made all of those enemies appear at the end. Conveyor belts? This one was really fun. I would also be interested in also seeing a more standard Mario level with the construction theme. Hot Winter Day by Mega64 N8J-747-L4G I haven't played many Fire Clown Car levels so this one felt pretty novel. The firebars were fun to maneuver around and to make paths around. The one issue I had is that it was really hard to hit the flying Question Blocks. I think it would be nicer on the player to at least make one of the first ones stationary so they have a chance to hit it in the car. I assume they all had power ups in them but I couldn't catch any and I didn't go for the stationary ones close to the ground so I went the whole level powerupless. Also, maybe consider adding some coins? I like collecting coins and I don't remember collecting any. Under False Pretenses by Rollersnake KRM-QMR-3RG This one gave me a lot of nostalgia. The way it revels in tricky jumps and loops on itself reminds me of playing the Lost Levels way back. I liked the whole looping structure but couldn’t figure out how to get to the end. I made it to aboveground section twice in one play (the vine at the beginning had me confused in the best way when I first jumped onto it) but died to the last pit on the 2nd loop. I don’t know if I missed an obvious clue or what, but I’m stumped at how to find the exit. Still loved what parts of it I did play.

I just finished my first night level, and I think it's my most difficult level so far. In this level, you have to avoid touching the moon or picking up any stars. It's a Mario World level. Beware the Moon and Stars T5N-4YV-DQG I tend to play a lot more levels than I upload, but I usually haven't posted about them because I didn't feel like I had much to say. However, I'm moved by Internet Kraken's argument for more community discussion, so I'll try to change that. Starting with: Carnival of Calamity by Internet Kraken - I played this a while ago and I loved it. It was much too hard for me though. I didn't get very far, even though I had fun with what I played of it. I eventually had to give up as I didn't feel like I was making progress at the part where you have to backtrack past a bunch of bob-ombs. The level was absolutely beautiful though, and it felt like everything tied together well thematically.

Was randomly browsing the biggest Maker scores and came across someone from my own country so checked them out. Their courses are consistently great and, I think, fit the vibe of this thread so I'm going to share their maker ID. The courses tend to be easy to medium difficulty platforming/exploration with lots of hidden coins, etc. Frost89: JGR-5BK-00H Highly recommend the course called "This Is The Only Level" which has a really well-executed repetition gimmick.

yrmr posted:Under False Pretenses by Rollersnake I'm actually a bit surprised people are having trouble with this one. When I made it, I was worried a lot of people would find the exit before seeing the rest of the level! Hint: The exit is where the warp zone would be, if this were an official Mario level. Solution: Jump on top of the upside-down pipe from the second blue platform after the checkpoint, and stay on top of the ceiling until the end of the level. Easiest way to do this is to get a running start beginning from the blocks over the checkpoint.

This is a terrible level but I had inspiration for a really good level so here is my bad Blitz level: KFV-BDN-4FF. Enjoy it while it's up; I'm going to gut its bones and make a much more fleshed out version. I just need pipes, semi-solids, and slopes to do it.

I was able to finish the level with your spoilers. Thanks! I looked for ways to the top of the screen but I never found any unspoiled. I was suspicious of that 2nd blue platform to the right of checkpoint and thought that it might be a hint to a secret above it. When I tried I couldn't use it or any of the surrounding terrain to reach the top of the screen or to reveal any secrets. It had never occurred to me to use the blocks above the checkpoint for a running start.

7LK-HSQ-TKF - Snowpiercer Finally uploaded my Snowpiercer level, kept waiting to find a streamer who has seen the movie. I wasn't able to fit the "darkness" scene but otherwise I got a lot of the recognizable moments. It's not a hard level by any means, more like an interactive tour of the movie. If you've seen the movie, you'll recognize a lot of stuff. I would encourage you to leave comments with quotes, the streamer who first cleared it added a line after a certain infamous moment that I thought made the room better. if you like, If you haven't, well, train levels are still fun I say.

yrmr posted:The Ultimate Fortress of DOOM!!! by Internet Kraken Thanks! I do wish I integrated the twhomps better. This is actually based on a level I made in Mario Maker 1 where the thwomps had a larger roll. This time around I focused more on buzzy beetle stuff, which probably is more interesting but didn't look as "incompetent". So I still wanted some thwomps smashing stupid goombas, ehe. Flying buzzy beetles are cool. I do wish they looked like they did in the Wii U game in the NSMB style though.

I probably could of dialed back the enemies in some places. There's one section of the level I really don't like now but I don't think you actually reached it.

What's the most tedious level you guys have ever bothered to actually clear Today I played a castle night stage where the entire screen was coins. No hazards other than a tiny lava pit. You had to collect 999 coins to win and there was only enough time to finish with about 10 seconds of leeway. It was boring as hell but easy so I beat it

Internet Kraken posted:What's the most tedious level you guys have ever bothered to actually clear I was grinding out the 100 endless easy clears achievement today when I ran into a stage that was called "Time Wasting Box Breaking" or something like that and it delivered exactly what it advertised. The creator used up the part limit for the 3D World boxes and set a course condition to destroy them all. At one point toward the end some of the boxes landed on top of me and glitched me into a soft-locked state. I probably should have skipped it right there but I actually restarted and set to work destroying the boxes again.

I forgot about that, but that video above is so much worse. The Hammer Brother coin flip thing is astoundingly evil. The way people are using interactions between items to create a kind of primitive scripting reminds me of how Doom maps can have crazy stuff happen by putting a clone of the player on a conveyor belt in an off-screen area and having them run over trigger lines.

Had time for a few random acts of Mario this morning: Anger Street by Besesoth L2S-LWM-QMF I suck at racing, it looks like. I had problems in here, though, because stuff I have to jump over causes me to break the intended flow of the course. Like, early on I have to jump over a gap, but it causes me to bounce off another Koopa Car, so I won't clear the cannons and I won't reach the ground in time to jump over them. Maybe I just don't play enough car levels to see what I'm supposed to do. LIFE OR DEATH!!! by Fawf VKT-VL7-S2G O... Okay? I'm not sure I get it. I tried both doors. Boom Boom's Fortress by Tykero 27S-180-YNF I liked this, but it took me 20+ tries to clear. I like the ideas but they could do with a little more margin of error. 100% chance of cephalopods by DalaranJ Q7C-C7X-C0G This was fun, love the gimmick. It's tagged for multiplayer versus, but I did it solo, probably very different in multiplayer. Snowflake Mountain by Castor Poe 6MF-HH6-KDF This was a solid classic level. There are some places where you have to be careful because if you jump on an enemy prematurely there isn't another way to get the height you need to proceed. There's also an accidental(?) kaizo block on top of one of the blue platforms. The Fab Four by J-Spot JJY-K3K-X1G I am extremely into this theme. Bowser's B-Team Armada by japtor BWQ-VKM-S4G This was quite good and impressively elaborate. Good use of optional side challenges for bonuses. I laughed when I got fed up with Bob-omb Bowser and correctly guessed that there would be a way to just dump him in the lava behind him. Boiling Point Bastion by DarkLich NJ0-W1S-FPG This was fun, pretty tough in places -- mostly noticeable at the end when it's a bit of a hike back to fight the boss if you die. EDIT: Additional levels edited in. guppy fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Aug 4, 2019 |

I've thought about making an awful level where you have to wait for a shell to travel all the way across the course to hit an on/off switch multiple times. I was probably also going to make it so the blocks just flickered once so if you didn't move quickly enough you'd lose your window to move and the level would time out.

I'm trying to sneak in a couple of hours to play everyone's jam and blitz levels before I have to finish off packing up my house. Let's see how many I can get through. Jams first: Goombas Working Overtime 66C-MXR-FGF By: J-Spot I never play anything with 3000 plays. The non-stop comments covering everything up were awful. But it's a pretty good level with its theme and the ending is cool. Bowser's Discount Rockets LXY-LTW-XHG By: Too Shy Guy Good balance on the high speed autoscrolling. It never felt unfair, which might have made it a bit easy, and I liked the branches that were harder... Cardboard Castle HDV-BLN-MPF By: Plebian Parasite I like the concept of finding the path with the POWs, but I managed to break the first section by throwing the POWs a bit off. The second section is was really great. The Ultimate Fortress of DOOM!!! FK9-67Q-Y8G By: Internet Kraken This level had a good layout but I wasn't really feeling the theme here. It was just a good fortress stage. Mario's Mushroom Factory D1H-3LD-G2G By: ThisIsACoolGuy Those were some clever constructions in this stage. I tried to get on top of the autoscroller and couldn't quite manage it. Nice ending, too. Build-It-Yourself Bowser Bridges TPQ-WQX-0NG By: Macaluso I feel like the difficulty of this stage was increased by the annoying 3D World physics. I kept sliding off bricks instead of ground pounding or bouncing off close things. That's stuff that's out of your control, of course. I just find precision at high speed to be much, much harder in that mode. Boiling Backup 4HJ-7JF-CBG By: Suspicious Cook I've seen this type of level before but this one was done well. The bully section in particular worked really well. And that's it for the Jam stages. Now for the Blitz: Ghostnote 1WR 1PP YDG By: alf_pogs Was this supposed to be a Blitz 5 level? Because it uses several things that aren't allowed and didn't emphasize question blocks. But it's a fine, short boo stage. That's the ghost, not the level rating. The Question Authority Besesoth By: HB3-W4X-3WG The night airship theme with bombs made getting through the brick wall oddly tricky.
