I don't think you can manually assign songs to stages, they're automatically selected depending on the combination of skin (SMB/SMB3/SMW/NSMB) and level type (above-ground, underground, underwater, castle, airship, ghost house). There are new tunes/arranges for the combos that didn't originally exist - SMW has a new arranged airship tune, SMB has new tunes for airship/ghost house, etc.

I cancelled my pre-order, no joke. I play games on my own time and don't want to wait for the full experience to be unlocked. People may see it as an overreaction but I have such little time to play games now with work and school I don't need anymore restrictions.

Periscope Lakitu is clearly the raddest character there. I would play a game where he is the protagonist.

I'm a little sad at how many people have played the lackluster NSMB games and yet have never given the fan-made and goddamn fantastic Newer Mario a go.

It requires a relatively easy legal softmod to a wii (or wiiU) console.

The level design is every bit the equal of Nintendo's best, and the new word themes are inventive and fresh and totally in keeping with the series.

Sept 11 is going to be my favorite day of the year

I dont think ive ever been as excited for any game as this one

Yeah when I was like 10 (20 years ago) I used to make mario levels with that lovely weird green/white bar fax paper people used.

Think my first levels are going to be breakable block platforms over a huge pit while lakitu throws babombs at you.

So does a larger tool set.

You do realize that "doesn't understand" and "doesn't agree with" are different things, right? I understand exactly what you meant. I'm just saying that in this case I don't think it's the right opinion.

A game about content creation should give the players as many tools as possible. More tools for creating content is always better, unless adding more of them somehow makes the other stuff less good for some meta reason like developer resources being spread too thin or something. Why is more always better in this case? Because the content creation isn't what you're scored on. It's not the "game" part of the game. There are no stakes in this part. There is no challenge to overcome here. The "game" part of Super Mario Maker is the part where you're controlling Mario and trying to successfully reach the end of the level without dying.

Super Mario Maker actually isn't the game itself. Super Mario Maker is the set of tools level makers will use to create situations where the players work around the limitations imposed on them by the level maker.

So how do creatively handle a boss level? Right now there's nothing in place just to stop you walking past them to the exit, that seems more like it's enforcing a single method than encouraging original level designs
I get where you're coming from, but none of the main things people are clamouring for are straws that would break the camel's back, they're core functionality that have been part of the series for decades

sorry that you think adding slopes is going to suddenly turn nintendo's countless michelangelos and warhols into mindless sheeple i guess.

Actually you can make full 4 level worlds in SMB1 style, though even if you couldn't it'd still be cool to be able to create unavoidable enemy encounters. Whilst I can think of ways to possibly work around the current limitations (having to wait for a moving platform to arrive inside a boss room in order to leave it for instance) there's no reason you couldn't build a scenario like that anyway even if a win item existed, except then you'd have even more possibilities

A Steampunk Gent posted:

I don't see why they couldn't coexist. They have a manual level search by popularity/uploader/most played too so the system is obviously built for methods of play other than random disconnected levels through the 100 life challenge. I'm not sure why you're insistent the full priced retail release title needs to pidgeonhole itself so much, I look forward to building short SMB3-style levels for the X-life challenges and longer exploration based levels in the create-a-world mode

GreatGreen posted:

Saying "limitations breed creativity" is dumb as gently caress in this context when the entire point of the game is to be a big open sandbox for players to make Mario levels.

The point of content creator games like this isn't to "challenge" the content creator into being creative with a narrow set of creation tools, it's the opposite. You give the person access to as much poo poo as possible in order for them to be able to figure out how they can creatively impose their own limitations on themselves when designing. That's where the fun comes from with these games. "I'm going to make an interesting level using only bricks" "I'm going to make an interesting level that is fun to play but doesn't have any 'ground' you can stand on at all" or "I'm going to make a level that constantly keeps Mario invincible but must still be challenging and fun" and so on.

I'm having a hard time understanding what's so hard to grasp about this idea. Maybe it's that in that case, the amount of fun you can have would be proportionate to how creative you are, which is a lot to ask of a lot of people who play video games I know.

Super Mario World's graphics are a mixed bag and could have been made better if they used the palette rows to their fullest.



This is SMW's basic palette. Look at how much black space for unused colors there are! Since I've done SMW hacking in the past, I can explain a little bit about how Nintendo set these palettes up.

Starting from the top row, rows 0-7 are for foreground/background objects. SMW's graphics in general use only the left half of each palette row. Rows 0 and 1 are for backgrounds exclusively and can cycle colors based on what dropdown box settings you have selected on the right. Rows 2 and 3 are the same way except for the major foreground elements like grassland tiles, cave tiles and castle tiles. Rows 4-7 are generally used for the variety of special objects like pipes, coins, cement blocks, question blocks, etc, that are found throughout the levels.

Rows 8-F are for sprites. Row 8 is Mario's palette and anything that needs to be gold, tan or brown, like keys and Monty Moles. Row 9 is most castle enemies, bullet bills, basically anything gray. Rows A-D are for yellow, blue, red, and green sprites respectively, and make up the majority of the sprites you'll see in the game. The last two rows, E-F are special palette rows in that they can cycle depending on what enemies are needed. Dino Rhinos, Big Boo, and a few other special sprites use these cycling palettes. Bowser also uses a palette from here but due to how Mode 7 works, that palette row gets loaded into the foreground rows somewhere in Row 0-7 because he's actually a Layer 1 object.

Changing any colors in Rows 4 through D will permanently change those colors for every single level in the game. They are "Shared Palettes." By the way, those colors on the right half of rows 2, 3, 4, 9, A, and B are used exclusively for the berries that Yoshi can eat in those few levels. That's all they're used for.

When making custom levels, it's actually very easy to change palettes and not explode the rest of the game's colors. Clicking that checkbox that says "Enable Custom Palette" will make it so that level's palette can be modified freely without affecting the rest of the game's Shared Palette. For example:



Using a custom palette and expanding upon the original game's palette and graphical work, you can make things much more detailed and colored while still retaining a "Mario" feel.

This is Iwata's final present to us. Do not fear if your levels are sub-par as long as you are having fun. That's all he ever wanted his whole life.

Zonekeeper posted:

Every one playing this game should watch one of the many videos out there where Miyamoto/other designers talk about why they made certain design decisions. Everything in the originals is done very deliberately, especially in the early levels where they introduce you to a game's new mechanics.

This is a great one on 1-1:
