3D World levels all have the cool endings where a Pow block chain reactions to destroy a bunch of bricks and leave a pattern or word intact. Is there anything similar that could be done in Mario 3 style? Only thing I can think of is a field of bricks where a p switch spells out the word and then a pow makes all the coins fall down? I tried using electric Mecha to carve something out but that wasn't working well

I just uploaded my newest level: Elec Man - FLL 3V2 HRG I like how it turned out. Btw, do not worry about the second fire flower. It is gettable, but it is a bitch and a half to get. There was a big energy there in Mega Man that is just as much as a pain in the rear end, so I leave that there as tribute.

I'm not exactly sure what the difference between the squirrel cling and the wall grab is, but the automatic lifting behavior is a cool mechanic. Maxxim posted:I saw the new update and felt like making a level. I was unable to beat it. So very hard, but clearly not kaizo level, all of the threats are clearly broadcasted. Using the analog stick is unworkable though given how tight the movement is, you have to use the direction buttons.

Been a while since I posted here. I've been working on a few the past months and essentially redid 2 of them completely after the update. Hopefully they turned out pretty well. Lava Lift - QPK-CX4-WQG I've honestly been working on this one since the Master Sword update. But after the Koopalings were added I knew exactly what to replace the boss with, (though it did take forever to get him to stop jumping off the platform) Fiery Fortress - BF2-44V-8VF This is something of a sequel to a similarly themed level I made in Mario Maker 1. I like to believe this one has an overall better design and flow than the old one. Flight Through the Mecha Fortress - TV1-DYR-YBG This one was me screwing around with the night castle theme before the update hit. After that I started throwing in all the new stuff to see what would stick. It's thankfully no longer the insane hodgepodge it was a week ago. I originally put a higher focus on the Frog Suit here, but I eventually removed it from the main part of the level and made it a bonus for finding the red coins.

John Wick of Dogs posted:I am continuing on my Mega Man theme This was fun. I especially liked the two sections with alternating blocks--that definitely seemed a lot like Mega Man. What Mega Man enemy does the big Boom Boom represent? I never got very far in Mega Man 1 (Mega Man 2 is great, though). I played your Elec Man stage too, but I found it a little frustrating. The floor ghosts on the tiny platforms were difficult to avoid, and some of the single-platform jumps were a bit too stressful. Where appropriate, I'd recommend aiming to capture the spirit of Mega Man rather than the exactness of the levels. The Ice Man level was a definite improvement.

John Wick of Dogs posted:That guy at the end is called a Big Eye, they're at the the end of just about every Mega Man 1 stage except Bomb Man and Fire Man Ah, cool. Mega Man 2 was my jam. I also have a vague recollection of playing a Mega Man game on the PC when I was a kid, and now I'm wondering if I played the apparently-awful DOS Mega Man game. SilverSupernova posted:Been a while since I posted here. I've been working on a few the past months and essentially redid 2 of them completely after the update. Hopefully they turned out pretty well. Nice levels. I especially liked the section in Fiery Fortress where you have to jump accross a several burners in quick succession. It was just the right amount of challenge.

Mario Maker inspired me to play Super Mario Bros. 3 again. After having not played it for quite a long time, it's amazing how clearly some things come back. I've played through five worlds now, and here are some thoughts: - The game is remarkably inventive. Big highlights so far: everything being giant in World 4 and the castle that leads to the clouds in World 5. - Boos are fast in this game! I'd forgotten just how aggressively they come after you when you turn your back. - The game is pretty tough. - The levels are fairly short. Perhaps this is due to the lack of checkpoints, but these levels are shorter than most Mario Maker levels. - Despite being short, there are a lot of levels. And since there was no save option in the NES version, you had to play it all in one sitting. Or you could just leave the NES running and turn the TV off, like I recall doing. Anyway, it's fun so far, but tough. It's odd to go back and play this after not playing it for so long. I can go back to some NES games easily (Zelda 1 being my favorite), but this one is bringing back some pretty strong nostalgia. Also, I recall World 8 being pretty brutal, so who knows how that's going to go.

I know everyone has nostalgia for World and that's the defacto GOAT but I think SMB3 is a slightly better game just by how fresh and inventive all the levels are. Almost every level throws a new concept at you and in the span of about 45 seconds you go from learning about it to mastering it. Truly a master class in great level design. Feels like a lot of the spirit of SMB3 went into the Galaxy games and that's why they're the best Mario games ever made.

DorianGravy posted:- Boos are fast in this game! I'd forgotten just how aggressively they come after you when you turn your back. Yeah, as someone who adores SMB3 and makes most of my levels in the SMB3 style, the slow Boos in Maker are a mild disgrace. They made all Boos operate under the SMW model of being "areas you can't jump towards" instead of the SMB3 ballistic missiles. I wish we had the option to make them murderous speed.

Everyone in this thread who likes to make levels owes it to themselves to play through SMB3 once every 6 months or so, I know you own it, you have Nintendo online they give you SMB3 for free.

Mario styled ghosts are always my favorite hazards but MM does them dirty so they're hard to use a lot of the time. Boos? Usually really slow, easily ignored. Even with wings they take a few seconds to 'activate' so it's easy to just glance backwards and re-freeze them Boo rings? Fine but most people *hate* waiting for opening so it's hard not to annoy the player. Stretch? They somehow always manage to pop up on players no matter how much you test em. If I see them in a level, the feedback is usually "can you remove Stretch." Peeka? They're fine but literally nobody uses them or knows the exist somehow.

Accidentally put an electric mecha koopa 2 blocks above ground in the same room as a Morton and it's like the perfect hard mode. Morton has 2 "jump to avoid" attacks and the mecha koopa adds a "don't jump or you take damage" hazard, and their timing isn't synced up, so you have to do different things to deal with it depending on when the laser is going to fire.

After watching OMT's stream, I've made a few changes to some stages so they're hopefully a little bit less hair pulling... KV7-2FQ-HSF - Roy's Ravagers - Now with more P Balloons and less cannons, also it's amazing what one extra tile of space will do for you! The boss battle remains unchanged, I think it's a little easy but I made the thing.. T82-TTT-F2G - P's Cannon - Phantasium found some cheese in this stage, and that led me to find another piece of cheese and fix what I think he found. You can't fly over the P Balloon section anymore, but you can still land on the 1 pixel safe space on a land tile but outside of the saw hitbox. Also made this one a little more gentle, and added some coins to help with the cannon jumps. For the first jump, I find that waiting for a second volley of cannonballs is helpful, and then time my jump to when a certain cannonball crosses a certain line... And a new course, as I decided that after all I don't want my super world to have a sudden cliff of difficulty, so instead it will just have a rather tall wall that you may wish for Revali's Gale for of difficulty. 3RH-9HP-0CG - Mechakoopa Surfing - I'm sure somebody much more devious than I could come up with a fun course full of traps to go along with this gimmick, but instead I decided to use it as a quick breather stage with opportunity for some more 1-ups since this world has the above two stages and another still really hard stage in it. Spin jump off of the giant mechakoopa to win, but be careful, if you do five jumps in a row too close together you'll fall through. Still, there's a reset door, so you can keep trying until you get it! tonberi fucked around with this message at 18:04 on May 5, 2020 |

Took me awhile to make this one and its hard, tense, sometimes unfair, but fun I think. floatly like a cloud 3MP-3NS-FFG I will admit this level can feel like bullshit sometimes. But there was something I ended up loving about it. This is the closest thing I have got to creating a Grandpoobear or really technical level. Enjoy, let me know what you think.

There's lots of cool stuff in here, but it's getting tough! I might have hit my limit in level 7-2 (The Turtles of Lava Lake, 9SG-327-5PF). I gave it two whole 15-life continues, and I only twice made it as far as the part past the second checkpoint where you have to go up and then down again. Still, really cool stuff throughout.
