Made my first level just to play around with a clown car. Also wanted to get a feel for the maker
M8S-TTQ-QNF

Wish I could zoom out and get a bigger grasp of the stage but I can’t so might just use pen and paper first to map out what I want and then take it to the game.

Trials and Incantations

And my previous one is here if anyone missed it

Do we have to edit the spreadsheet to add it to the goon list? I didn’t see any way to edit it

L5Y-XHV-Q1H "Spring High!" - A level I made to celebrate the humble spring.

Was able to clear it and really liked the spring format. Had to teach myself not to hold down that run button though because on the way up I kept grabbing the spring and loving myself over. Nice climb to the top and a few hidden bits in there were nice.

Good job

Thanks for trying my level out, I reuploaded a new version with arrows that point to the coins and added a reset at the end if you didn't get all three.

6Y8-6MH-MQG is the new code for Defeat Mr. Mole's Army.

If any one wants to try the new one out, especially if you tried it before, let me know if you find the arrows and reset better. If you haven't tried it before let me know if you still get stuck at the end if you didn't get the red coins.

Loved this map except for that first red coin challenge. That last switch part for the shell kept me trying up until I had 30 or so seconds left on the clock. It was rough.

Loved it though and left a doodle comment for you

I tried for an hour on that level and couldn’t get past the drat second buzzy beetle bit. Everything felt fair until that part because the timing felt like it changed on me. Like if I was a frame or two off I was gonna get killed. and that lower path man... rude

I will try it again when I’m in a better place. It’s a great design but that one part just feels over infuriating

It took me entirely too long to realize the coins were placed where you need to let go and when to jump.

I did have the thwomps at the end screw up one time but not hitting switches correctly when I might have had it, but otherwise everything worked.

The coin thing I figured out about 20 minutes in and that did help me get to the part I’m still suffering with but even though I’m pretty good with audio cues and timing I still kept getting clipped by the beetles when jumping. Like I know what needs to be done but I just can’t seem to get it right.

As for my next stage I’m Going to use the stage randomizer tonight to see if that gets some creative juices flowing.

Also saw that people have beaten and rated Trials and Incantations Redux and I’m so happy that my changes seem to have made it better. I didn’t want to be cheap on it and just wanted a solid challenge. Would love feedback if any Goons happened to have played either or both.

did some randoms, here's my feedback:

M8S TTQ QNF
Fly! Or die!

this was a lot more fun once i started going from bumper to bumper. It plays like pac-man, except at the end you have to thread the needle to escape. I wish the exclamation points weren’t triangular. But maybe that was a clue I was missing?

Thanks for the play and feedback.

I do all my exclamation points as a triangular top actually that’s just the way I’ve made them since high school. Nothing meant as a hint by it but If you noticed it and questioned it others might as well. Will be conscious of that when I design in the future.

As for the threading the needle at the end I wanted to make it a little bit tense heading to the finish. It wasn’t to off putting was it?

I have a few other levels available that I haven’t put into the spreadsheet yet and one of the ones I did is dead because I reuploaded it after reviews from other goons. Check my post history for the link as I want to make one more randomized level before updating the spreadsheet. Thanks once again

I like the clown car powerup... dunno why. Pretty sure this was inspired by the randomizer but I couldn’t remember since it was started a few weeks ago and finished today.

And because I don’t think I added it to the spreadsheet (will rectify that) here are two of my older ones

Trials & Incantations Redux!
00M-QK6-8NG -
some goons streamed the original of this but it was a bit unintuitive and unfair so I tuned it up a bit. I hope it’s better for you

I tired this one and noticed that if you're fast enough you can get to the clowcar before the p-switch times out and not have the chance to grab the next p-switch because it falls through the floor. Probably best to set it on ground.

Ghostnote - 1WR 1PP YDG



very standard cloud level that I made in about an hour this morning. there's some fun jumps and one-ups. if you don't like note blocks this might not be for you.

now time to play some blitzes!!!

You made me want to carry that spring all the way to the end. The only real problem for me was the one ghost in the middle that is hugging the ground. Good work!

It was a pretty tough Blitz theme in my opinion, to be fair.

Indeed... I had to play around with the various power ups to find two uses for them in mine and I still felt like I was cheating a bit because the ultimate end of the level and it’s name involved the last bit that didn’t involve the blocks.

I still liked alf’s level. They put in some effort despite the restraints and felt it didn’t take away from the spirit of the challenge.

Main problem with this level is if you miss the main thwomp near the end you can softlock yourself and have to die to reset. Once it’s gone it’s gone and doesn’t resplendent. Loved the design choices and it’s a great use of the enemy in general and inventive use of drag chutes!

559-D10-XKF - Clapping Block Rush

I stumbled a fairly simple contraption that has been really fun to watch streamers play and figure out. Starts out with them almost thinking it's a troll thing but it's actually very fair. They're slightly mesmerizing and your normal jumping instincts can work against you. I'm tempted to remake it so that the "true ending" is actually required for a speedrun because right now it's extra risk for coins and 1ups which only matter in endless.

It’s good but drat hard. Left a comment to give you a feel of what I was experiencing

This was a lot easier than the <2% clear rate would have suggested. Were it not for a few awkwardly placed chain chomps I probably would have one shot it. Nice job!

Start on paper, sometimes I will sketch a cool set-up for a section at work, and stitch them together later in the day

You may look at your crappy sketches and think "how is this making the process easier", but Mario Maker's controls will slow you down just like any other digital creation tool, and you'll spend less time arguing with yourself about whether to place a muncher or a spiketrap

Can’t stress the paper sketch out enough. Really helps collect your thoughts and build it from there. Trials and incantations started that way and it’s the level I’m most pleased with design wise

Random acts of Mario levels reviewed!

Mist Mountain Marathon- by Thisisacoolguy
GG5-1KC-XNG

Dead link :thunk:
Spike Manor- by srypher
K2D-0M2-02H

This level had some infuriating bits to it, mainly near the end the one jump past the key door just constantly caused me to die despite being nowhere near a spike but it kept registering it as a hit. It’s just a basic rage level with a side of WHY?!?

3-4 Cloud Chaos- by Pixeltendo
760-47P-XVF

Was able to one shot it but it did have awesome ideas. The seesaw being utilized to such a degree was very nicely done! Got a like !

The last shack on the left- by E.G.G.S.
KMD-8TT-PYG


Fit the horror theme well and if it wasn’t for the checkpoint near the end I may have gotten a little salty. This is a level that I feel could have used some more hints on the last section because for a bit I was lost and hopelessly trying to hop up instead of what it required. Good work.

That’s enough for tonight wanted to do more but spike manor took up a lot of my play time. Thanks for the levels folks
