Live Free posted:Any advice on how to get my maker score up? I've been floating around 3k for a while. I have a good number of levels up and most of them have like a 1:3 likes/plays ratio, but idk how to hit the next level Brute force your levels into the weekly popular tab by getting a lot of likes quickly. The easiest way to do that is to hit up the level exchange thread on the r/MarioMaker subreddit. Sort by new and find a stage that looks appealing, then leave a like and a comment in the thread with a little feedback and then leave them your level code. You can make your own post there as well and offer a reciprocal play. Once you get about 70 plays or so you should end up on the popular tab provided you had enough likes up to that point. From there you're at the mercy of the people who play levels out of that tab so unless you've got some killer idea and an easy stage you can only expect a couple hundred plays before you fall out, but it'll probably be enough to raise that maker score.

I just stopped giving a poo poo and make levels for fun now. I can't do the level shilling crap. I hate the idea of running around from place to place desperately trying to get people to play my stuff. I might share my levels in places I felt were really good for discussion but Mario Maker reddit just looks like people throwing their levels out and trying to get them noticed.

I tell you what you don't do, you absolutely don't delete over half your levels to rework them to be less crap and for the ability to make a crappy joke. Coincidentally, only four of my levels on the spreadsheet are correct now.

Is one of them Piranha Pit Boss. I played that today and it was pretty good! I liked the alt path on the "boss" that I didn't even see until I did it the hard way

I would love to be in other Mario Maker communities but everyone I've dipped into has been people trying to get others to play their levels or complaining that nobody plays their levels or that their levels were boo'd.

I think I'll leave it. I was already anticipating somebody not caring and jumping over them which is why I gave them keys for the arbitrary treasure hold to make you feel good for actually killing them instead of running away I just somehow... missed behind them.

Hey, is anybody on here familiar with the patch/hacking scene on smwcentral.net? I've been applying some patches to Kaizo Mario World, and I'm super impatient because people take forever to reply on that site. Shot in the dark, but if you can help me out, PM me. Here's my issue/question: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=83223&page=4&pid=1510969#p1510969

Thanks OneMoreTime! Enjoyed seeing someone playing it blind, and I'm glad to see you got through the trouble parts fine! Rollersnake, no problem! I can see what you meant with the precision timing, other people I asked to try it had similar comments about the thwomp. Edit: my big takeaway from the video is that the coins as jump guides doesn't help much if you're out of step with the exact same way I played my level Argue fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Aug 16, 2019 |

I stopped playing this because of ~joy con drift~ but since I have a pro controller, I really shouldn't have because it owns. (It's just way easier to make levels with the joycons + the touch screen in handheld.) I'm going to see if I can remedy that later next week. If nintendo is still offering free repairs that is.

OneMoreTime posted:And that's a stream! Thanks everyone, always a ton of fun. Just caught up with your stream. Thanks for playing my level and saying all that nice stuff about it. You're right, I hadn't really posted in this thread before. Most of the time I just make reproductions of other NES game levels (hence using RetroLevel as my MM2 name). Maybe I'll post them sometime. Like a lot of people are saying in this thread, I feel a bit restricted by the parts available, so I have to fudge a lot of stuff.

It’s fairly easy but you’ll need someone with slender hands because of the joycon’s small size.

Joycon drift is an analog stick problem, isn't it? Do people play Mario Maker with the analog stick?

I wonder how often this is actually signal loss on the wireless? I sometimes feel like something is pulling to a side when I play docked, but I never experience it when I play handheld.

This is actually the 3rd time I've had to had my JoyCons repaired or replaced, they're really lovely pieces of equipment. But at least Nintendo always just fixes them for free.

For those of you that have played my auto-scrollers, do you prefer the Mario 64 slide music or does the default 3D World Bowser Castle music fit better? I'm talking about in terms of setting a tone. Compare Build-It-Yourself Bowser Bridges to Spooky Sprint. I'm trying to decide if I should use the default castle music or the slide music in this next one I'm making

I don't really know what I prefer for your levels, but I'll say when I was recreating my first level that takes place in the 3D World castle theme, I took out the Mario 64 music because I already feel like I heard it a bunch already and I like the 3D World music too much to drown it out anymore. I'd go with how challenging you think it is relative to your other levels. If you think it's really going to be way harder go with the default since it sounds like it's building to a challenge better than super happy fun slide does. I think both work with your style of level, though.
