I wish this was my Smash main.
I'm surprised you gave up on the Duck Hunt Maze. It's actually really easy, and I do feel like I could make it trickier with, like, longer level, invis coins, etc.

Going all the way up was the big mistake; you needed to go about halfway up, take the big drop about halfway through, then climb up and run across a one block wide gap to drop down next to a stairway leading to the exit.

Mega Man Turtles and Sonic Springs (not the Game Gear remake) will probably be the first to go if I need more upload slots, though.

There's a leaf in that box right next to where you start in the Spelunky level. I should have just placed it where you start so you can't miss it, but it was one of my earlier levels.

The solution seemed pretty apparent once you got to the end of the level and could see one-block wide gap heading straight to the castle. However, Putty getting frustrated and quitting was funnier, sooooooo, I hope more people make levels with the explicit intention of frustrating Putty!

Also, Mario goes to the Art Gallery looked pretty rad.

That said, mazes universally suck. Don't do mazes unless you are some kind of utter genius that can make mazes not suck.

I tried making a good Bowser level myself. I had such a totally rad idea but every time I tried to execute it it sucked, so I didn't do it.

Here's a level that has nothing to do with Bowser: 2126-0000-00A0-60B8
It's not super hard or anything but until a couple days ago no one aside from me had finished it.

Maybe I'll return to this thread once I make a good level that will blow everybody's socks off!

I tried and tested and decided that talking over Mario levels critically was boring as hell so I'm gonna do it with a post!!!!! Provided will be commentary-less video links of me completing the levels for context.

:siren: Mario Contest #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:siren:



The keyword for these levels was BOWSER! I've counted all levels that were made for the contest or at least I pretended they were.

Mersenne posted:

Bowser's Blast Bastion - 3600-0000-0083-21CD

It's a castle filled with things that go boom. Much like Bowser's Castle in the original SMW, there's more than one way to reach the end. Perhaps there's even a shortcut hidden somewhere...

Video

This level is one of the more extremely hard ones due to the combination of length and difficulty that Mario Maker is getting rather infamous for. The layout consists of many branching paths depending on where you go in the level and all the paths are highly difficult to maneuver through. This difficulty mostly comes from the heavy use of cannonfire that is difficult to avoid, especially so if you're trying to solve a puzzle. The cannonballs blend into the environment and seem to be less noticeable with all the other things going on in the screen leading to a lot of cheap deaths. The shortcut that can be taken requires timing a hard bomb throw on some blocks (in the vid) that I found to usually take more time than compared to playing the level normally. Otherwise the rest of the level is just more dodging stuff and uses Bombs to blow up stuff. Only for the most hardcore of Marios.

Best Part - Lots of powerups help offset difficulty.

Worst Part - Getting shanked by Thwomps due to the blindspots from having a tall level.



Gimbal lock posted:

Here's a fresh one from today. I'm a little worried by its difficulty, but we'll see. It was originally supposed to be for the Bowser-theme, but now Mouser's back with no Bowser in sight!

Mouser's coup d'état: D6DD-0000-008E-2383



Video

Sure, this counts. Remember Mouser????? No? This level mostly revolves around bombs blowing up stuff and challenging bomb puzzles because I don't think Mouser actually had any other hobbies. One of the things that makes this level slog a bit is the beginning part that teaches you Lava/Bombs can blow up POW blocks. It's cool the first time, but every life after that you have to wait a solid 7 seconds for the Spinys to get killed and it kills your momentum. The latter puzzles I was also confused if I even solved them the right way (see the vid) and the last one felt rather RNG based for some odd reason. Mouser is also a pushover since he just takes one jump (this can't be helped) and is usually killed by his own bombs.

Best Part - Puzzles are always fun compared to the norm gameplay.

Worst Part - I CAN'T BELIEVE MOUSER'S DEAD



FPzero posted:

I forgot I made a Bowser level the other day.

Bowser's Budget Bombastion
0976-0000-0095-1A26

Bowser built a castle on a shoestring budget and then had the bright idea to put bombs everywhere.

Video

Looks like Bowser invested all his money into Bitcoins and doesn't have enough real money to make another castle!!! :eyepop: This level has a lot of bricks and bombs, suggesting that Bowser is fishing for insurance fraud rather than the Princess this time around. Despite this, the level is mostly solid with good platforming and fair difficulty where Mario has to platform while avoiding bombs that destroy the level. I noticed that say even if you were to destroy the whole level, at certain points there are iron blocks within walls that cannot be destroyed, still allowing platforming and making the level never unbeatable. The fact that you can destroy most of the blocks in the level DOES come with a heavy price though (see the vid).

Best Part - Secrets can be found by exploring and within the structural blocks of the castle.

Worst Part - 1ups are for children.



Sam Faust posted:

Here's my level for the contest. I almost don't want to post the name. It should be something you see right before you start playing the level. I had this idea in my head for a while, but now I have a reason to actually make it.

The floor is Bowsers. What!

(4A56-0000-0082-33BA)



Video

This is a short simple, and amazing level. Watch the video right now if you haven't. Mario must go to the pharmacy to get his medicine, but the three Bowsers from the Nintendo World Championship are out to stop him with. Every second is sacred so if you don't speedrun the thing the Bowsers will destroy everything, causing an untimely death. The Bowsers are unpredictable though, so sometimes you'll find out that the entire ground has gone missing mid-transit. I didn't know you could spinjump off walls until now.

Best Part - The floor is Bowsers

Worst Part - Lack of babyfaces
