Q_res posted:I'm trying my hand at making a stupid simple level and since I never played MM1 I'm having an issue I've not been able to figure out how to solve. When I place a coin on a visible ? block it defaults to multiple coins. Invisible is defaulting to one coin, I haven't been able to figure out how to change that behavior. A ? block with nothing in it gives a single coin I believe

P3M-NRR-7HG A level based around bouncing off of enemies being suspended by twisters. It turns out that those jumps are pretty hard to make so I just embraced it and made a hard level. It's pretty short though.

Defenestrategy posted:A Salty42 Tribute. I've been looking forward to playing troll levels for probably over a year of watching CarlSagan42 stream while not owning a Wii U. Feels good to finally play one. Maybe half of the trolls made me laugh when I died to them. Dying to the classic kaizo block jump trap just isn't fun or funny even if you're looking to be trolled. I'm a bit torn on the bowser fire spam in the first half--on the one hand bowser fire is usually garbage, but on the other hand you gave infinite mushrooms so it wasn't really threatening and evoking the atmosphere of jank without actually being jank is a powerful aesthetic for troll levels to have Gave you a like to get the level into endless mario

cheetah7071 posted:M63-1B4-SYF Nobody played this and I think it's about to fall off with no likes so I'll describe it a bit more like I should have done the first time SMB1 chomp-themed platformer in the night desert (so wind pushing you back). I put a lot of thought into the aesthetics so comments on that specifically would be appreciated. I intended it to be a few deaths per checkpoint so let me know if I hit the difficulty target. cheetah7071 fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Jun 30, 2019 |

Hyper Crab Tank posted:Gave it a play. The giant Chomps you go into are adorable, but the thing that killed me the most was actually the damned wind while riding the snake block. SMB1 Mario just feels really slippery... anyway, it didn't stop me from enjoying the level. Thanks for the first like to get it into endless I had a snake block instead of a skull platform because skull platforms are only 4 wide and I wanted it to not be hard to stay on the platform. But 5 blocks still isn't very wide, does anybody know if there's a way to widen snake blocks? That'd be important enough I'd edit and re-upload.

Macaluso posted:Cheetah7071: See the Saws I considered the catapult but couldn't figure out a way to enforce using it. It's pretty small so I'm not sure there's any way to make it so it gets you to a spot that a normal jump can't. Maybe something where doing it with a jump is tricky but the catapult gets you into exactly the right height

Did SMM1 ever get consistent notation for "fire a fireball here" for fast paced levels? Like how creators would put in a track of a specific shape to indicate a twirl or a big Z to indicate a spin jump

Hansolio posted:If you don't mind giving some feedback, I made this trash: "full speed is sometimes bad" is extremely not my cup of tea but then all the jumps were doable at top speed so it all worked out. A few things: I personally think running is fun, and a good level shouldn't punish the player for having fun. The spring and fish were kind of trash (even though they didn't catch me) You don't actually ever need to jump on a spiny the entire level. You can get over the spike hills just with big jumps, and you can get a shellmet from the cannon and damage boost over the munchers instead of spinning on the shell The cannon is off the top of the screen unless you specifically jump to scroll the screen up. I'd lower it by one block so that it's on-screen (and will fire) just by standing on the floor beneath it. Still gave it a like to get it into endless.

Good Sphere posted:This is my first Mario Maker experience, and I’m sort of stumped if there’s a way to trigger and explosion in SMB1 to blow up bricks. Anyway I can trigger this with a sliding Koopa shell? I tried putting babombs in a brick, but that that just makes it come out when a shell hits it. Put a bob-omb in a spot where it won't move (e.g surrounded on all sides by blocks). If you want the explosion to be automatic, use a block on a track to crush it. If you want Mario to trigger it, put a ? block beneath the Bob-omb. I think if you put a muncher into the ? block the explosion will be instant. There's more ways to do it but those are thre easiest I'm aware of

I remember watching videos of speedrun levels in SMM1 where the stage was constantly exploding behind you as you moved through the level. I know the easiest way to detonate a bob-omb on a timer is to have a block on a track crush it. But in SMM2 I can't seem to overlay the bob-omb onto a square occupied by the track without having it ride the track--if I place the track first the bob-omb rides it and if I place the bob-omb first the track deletes it. Am I missing something? I know I can have the block move off the track a bit to crush the bob-omb but that limits the shapes I can use for the actual active part of the course. Alternatively, are there any other things I'm missing for stages that force you to run at top speed like that?

GreatGreen posted:I came across a level yesterday in Normal Endless with a 500 second timer that was literally just one single Kaizo style jump of "grab shell, jump and bounce shell off wall, jump on shell to make it over the very high wall" and an exit right after that. why would you boo that. Just skip it. Since boos can actually cause a level to be hidden, you shouldn't boo good levels that aren't your cup of tea. Shell jump practice levels are important and I would have loved to get that.

There's definitely contraptions you can make that flip a switch if its blue but not if it's red. For example, a thwomp above a dotted line block above a switch. It's definitely possible to do more complex shell-based ones that don't require Mario to be within the activation range of a thwomp

I'm looking for help on a contraption I'm working on. I want a contraption where, if you fire a power ball (same properties as a fire ball but it goes at different angles) in the right spot, it causes a shell to race off. Here's what I've been able to come up with:  There's two problems. One is the shell fires to the left, but that's not a big deal, I can design the level around that. The second is that bob-bombs take forever to detonate. This is a speedrun level, where Mario's going to be racing by at top speed. Even if I replace the entire bottom floor with left-facing conveyer belts Mario is long gone by the time the bomb explodes. Are there any setups that can accomplish this faster?

For those of you who enjoy timed speedrun levels, what are your thoughts on checkpoints in them? Obviously they remove the timer pressure and allow people who want to take things slower without worrying about the timer to do so. But does having that option feel like it cheapens the level for the people who do like nailing the full 50 seconds start to finish? The level I'm working on would need kinda jank checkpoint setups because it's a super ball-based speedrun so I need a setup that gives you a super ball from checkpoint but doesn't refresh it for you if you just run through (since I want the start-to-finish challenge to include not losing it). I've figured one out but as I said it's kinda jank.

Tnega posted:First off, ask yourself what the timer adds to your level. “Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now, it's complete because it's ended here.'" I am pro checkpoint in general however. The theme of the level is making sick superball trickshots as you run by at top speed (helpfully marked where to shoot) that set up the level you're about to run into perfectly. If you slow down and line up your shots carefully it still works but in my mind it would feel way less sick. I do intend to get feedback on whether the idea is even fun before I throw it out into the wild but the timer is serving a purpose. e: and I suppose while I'm getting feedback I can just have the checkpoints in and see if anybody finds that the level is actually less fun when starting from checkpoint

I finished the first revision of my Superball Speedrun stage, Superb All PWM-JQV-7VF  This is the kind of stage that I'm 100% sure has jank that I was blind to as the creator. I'm hoping to get some feedback, improve it, and then submit it to the spreadsheet. Please don't Like it yet even if you do like it, I don't want to inflict it on endless until it's been de-janked The level is (intentionally) quite difficult but should still be easier than a true kaizo. If it's actually at kaizo difficulty then that's something I need to fix and is valuable feedback.

Spacebump posted:Is there anything that leads to levels getting played by randoms more? The first few days my 3 levels were getting played a bunch, my new level from yesterday seemed to not get any random people playing it. The system is apparently that the "new" tab is the only place in-game that shows levels with 0 likes. So you need to get someone to like your level, at which point it will start showing up in endless and such.

My blitz theme was desert with mushrooms and clouds. So I made SA Blitz Jam: Flip the Shroom DN8-KCV-0KF  I didn't quite hit the half-hour cheetah speed (despite my username...) but I hit the hour timer with plenty to spare. Level should be fairly easy because it doesn't kill you when you screw up (...usually). The idea could be made into a very trollish kaizo stage but this one just did the most basic ideas with it and didn't go for anything tricky.

My take on the jam is that you should role for style not theme (e.g. SMB1/3/W etc). The theme of the level should be the same for everyone and you should get a randomly rolled subtheme to work in with it.

It's pretty straight forward and there's a goofy little extra path at the end if you feel like hanging around.

Ryu's level is like 95% incredible kaizo fun but without kaizo tricks like shell jumps--just tricky platforming, all super fun. The other 5% is a kind of lame boss fight and that loving spiny jump

Internet Kraken posted:Is there anyway to set up a note block so it stays globally loaded? Trying to use a noise as a sound indicator for an ON/OFF mechanism but while I keep the contraption loaded I can't figure out a way to make a note block stay loaded. I think if it's on a track it'll be globally loaded but that would probably ruin the contraption you have going
