Made my first level! DYS-F6C-GGF A simple Mario 3 level based around facing down Hammer Bros in various situations. It should be fairly straightforward but hopefully fun to play! Now time to check out everybody else's levels in here. (You can view your course ID by going to your Course World, going to your own profile by hitting Y, and then heading over to Uploaded Courses.)

Today I learned: Apparently my SMB1 8-3 homage level is, in fact, hard as balls I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given that the regular 8-3 is also hard as balls, but still

Is there a good way to open a path only when a certain enemy (or several enemies) die? I had an idea for a battle arena level, but I couldn't think of a good way to handle that part beyond simply dropping a key when a particular enemy goes down. And even with a key, I can only let a door open-- not sure if I can think of a way to have something else happen too.

Drinkfist posted:I am starting to feel that people forgot the fun in some of their levels and are closeted sadists. I tried Kaizo Snakeblock on the list by Pocky In My Pocket and I feel personally attacked. We need to all chill out and remember at least half of the people playing your levels did not in fact kick your dog. To be honest I can't imagine a level name that would scare me away from a level faster than "Kaizo Snakeblock", so I think this one is on you Thoughts on June Hills: * Overall I like it! * The autoscrolling in the vertical section is pretty aggressive, especially with the Thwomps * I got a little annoyed that I had to do the easy opening again every time I died in the more challenging middle section * lol at the checkpoint * The free 1up mushroom at the end feels out of place * The ending is a little cruel--- there's an arrow implying the player should do a blind jump, but if they try, they'll wind up landing on some tiny platforms

ethanol posted:If nobody plays your course the first time you upload it, I assume it gets lost and never played? Anyways I'm new to mario maker... tell me if this is medium-hard or just annoying and unfun. I created it last night and it seems nobody made any attempts on it. I know the 2nd area with the falling is a bit rough/boring I think the "endless queue" algorithm doesn't seed enough new courses in. This means the courses you get are usually pretty good, but on the other hand, your new levels are unlikely to get played. My first stage didn't get played until I posted it here, but once it got a few plays and likes, I've had hundreds of plays coming in. If you think about it, "nobody played my level, it must be bad" makes no sense, right? If nobody played your level, they won't know if it's good or bad, so the problem must be with Mario Maker's implementation.

Kirios posted:Alright, I've split my SHMUP idea into two stages. Hopefully this makes it a better palate cleanse for everyone from all the typical Mario levels. Yeah I just played the first level and enjoyed it, but it definitely would have been too long if it had a second section.

Alright, here's the pitch. Everybody likes space. Everybody likes wall jumps. But what if there were wall jumps... in space? Kick Off Into Space! FWW-TWM-3TF The low gravity of space lets you get a lot more air off wall jumps, so I made a level which lets you play around with that. I think it's a bit harder than my previous levels, but it still isn't too hard. Have fun among the stars! Also people keep tagging my levels "Short and sweet", but I feel like they're pretty normal length... maybe I should make them longer? I like it when levels only take 2-3 minutes to complete though, I think that's the right length for a Mario stage.

Orange Crush Rush posted:One thing I've found with Mario Maker is that sticking to a small group of enemies isn't a bad idea at all, especially because you can use one single enemy in so many different ways thanks to Wings/Parachutes/Pipes etc. I especially recommend using Hammer Bros, because they’re really easy to defeat and everyone loves fighting them. More seriously, of course it’s stressful to create a level. For every level I create, I worry that no one will enjoy playing it and that it won’t be fun for people. But really, goons are pretty nice and people will like your course even if it’s mediocre. And even seeing just one or two likes still makes me feel warm and fuzzy. This is by no means the only way to design a level, but I like to think of each level as a lesson. First I introduce the skill I want the player to learn, like fighting Hammer Bros or wall jumping in low gravity. Then I try to present the same idea in different contexts. The lessons are separated by little breathing room areas. Finally, it’s nice to add extra credit lessons too: challenges advanced students can take on but novices can safely ignore.

I made a stage. Super Hard Snake House - VKR-KDD-MTG Check it out if you like creative uses for snake blocks, I tried to use them in lots of fun and different ways. The stage turned out extremely hard, though, so I’d recommend skipping it if you aren’t up for a really tricky level. It’s quite difficult to make Mario go straight up, I think, just because you have low visibility of things above you. I think if you really want a good stage, you’re pretty much limited to obvious patterns (so the player knows what’s coming) or a few enemies that travel vertically, like the SMB3 cannons.

Could we add a difficulty field to the level input spreadsheet? I feel like it would be nice to separate stages of different difficulty. It's going to be a bit vague regardless (since authors are not necessarily going to be great at telling how hard their stage is) but I think it'd still be useful. I labeled my recent level as Kaizo even though it isn't really Kaizo at all (not super compressed, no extremely precise maneuvering required, no troll hidden blocks) because I think people looking for standard levels would be irritated by the difficulty.

What's the best way to get a Koopa or Buzzy Beetle to immediately start spinning as a shell? I'm trying to create a level like SMW's "Awesome", which has a lot of kicked shells in it, but can't find a good way to do it.

That’s still a little disappointing, empty beetle shells feel wrong because you can ride them, and spinies feel too mean. But it’s close enough, thanks,

Every level can be improved with more snake blocks. I finished my new level by the way (no snake blocks though!) It’s a simple platforming course with collapsing lifts. I was inspired a lot by the old SMW course in Valley of Bowser with the platforms with numbers on them. My best time is 33.066 seconds, so if you’re going to speedrun it, at least beat that!

I really missed the ability to make looping stages until I realized literally nobody liked them in SMB anyway. Stage 6-4 from lost levels would get booed into oblivion instantly.

For the first time in a long time, I decided to pick up Mario Maker and put an idea I’d had for awhile down to paper. Here it is! Snake Block Gymnastics Festival VWB-FJW-TGF The level involves some elaborate wall jumping, but it’s very safe, so I hope it should be fun even for people who don’t like hard levels. The last time I tackled this theme the level came out ridiculously hard and no one but me ever beat it (despite like 60 attempts), so I made this one a lot easier. Now I’ve got 40 pages of levels to catch up on.
