Got to play an hour of MM2 before bed last night, haven't touched the actual making of levels yet. Is it worthwhile or useful to pick up a stylus for this?

I've been using my PS4 controllers with this guy for a while now, it only works in docked mode but the D-pad on the DS4 is so much better than the Pro controller.

For the people complaining about the joycon dpad: what sort of difference does a better one make?

I can definitely tell it's garbage, but I managed to beat Celeste with no problems regardless, so not sure if it's worth dropping a bunch of cash on a controller I only use for a few games unless it's a huge improvement.

I had a huge problem with accidentally nudging down on the Pro controller D-pad when playing New SMB U Deluxe which would make me ground pound mid-jump unintentionally. Maybe it's just my dumb sausage fingers, but I haven't had that issue with the DS4.

I having a stupid problem placing just a koopa shell in maker mode, I can do a beetle or a spiny shell but not an empty koopa shell. Am I being an idiot?

Just uploaded my first level, babby's first Mario level.

YWP-GLF-PBG

Looking for a little feedback, this is kind of a first draft. It's not meant to be too tough, I just like chaining spin jumps.

I think when you create this kind of level, it's easy to undersell the difficulty of it because you created it. You know exactly what each jump is asking, and where the next Spiny is going to be, and how long you need to hold the jump button down for to get there.

As for me, I only made it past the chain of Spinies once in about a half hour of playing. Admittedly, I could just be really bad.

It's incredibly likely that I watch too much kaizo and my sense of difficulty is gravely miscalibrated. Thanks for the input, I do think the max distance blind spinjump is a little much.

I made a quickie vertical level, it's got two paths, it is named Michael Douglas.

Yeah, I would prefer if any goons stream SMM2 that they post it in the thread so people can watch their levels being played.

Also, I'm not sure how Twitch works with recording the stream, but saving those videos so that people can go back and watch their levels being played would be good too I think.

I'll stream some goon levels later this night, around 9:45-10pm pst at https://twitch.tv/cactusgalactus

Am I blind or is there no way to place a koopa out of its shell?

None that I have found, it's really stupid.

Look I just wanna create a level where you have to race a naked koopa to his shell to make one big jump before the exit.

I'm having a heck of a time with this switch jam, I've got a contraption that shoots a beetle shell to trigger a series of switches followed by some springs that loops the activity. I need some way for the player to stop the loop but I can't figure out how.

I made a new one to play around with Thwomps, I think it turned out OK.

Naked pipes need to be censored for the children, and boos are the only only way to prevent their innocent eyes from seeing them.

Okay, no more Thwomp levels, starting now.

Anybody want to look at this level?

Thwomp O'Clock
44L-Y56-0YG

On my first run through I kept the cat suit until after the first pipe and used it to climb my way up the semi-solid walls at the start of the next section.

Right into a Thwomp that hadn't unscrolled yet.

Live by Thwomp, die by the Thwomp I guess.

But it was fun, I don't typically like autoscrollers and this was a good one.

I made a multiplayer race level, each player gets their own copy of the course to work through. Trying to make a checkpoint that each player could use and then direct them back to their course was really hard to figure out, so there are no checkpoints.

I would go down the same pipe as the person with the highest rating and try to shove them into hazards.

I had thought about that, but you're just going to lose to someone else going full speed. So, great job playing yourself?

Honestly I think the biggest part of getting "good" at Endless mode is just being able to identify what levels should be skipped before your lose a life (or several).

You could throw 100 difficult Mario levels at a veteran player and they could reasonably clear all of em first try. You throw 100 difficult Mario Maker levels at the same player and I bet they struggle with many of em. Playing Mario Maker endless doesn't just require you to understand how to play Mario, you have to understand course design. Specifically, being able to identify bad course design. Which sounds easy but think how often you end up blowing through tons of lives on some mediocre course instead of just skipping it right away.

Its a weird skill that I don't think I've ever seen a game require before. Endless mode is pretty unique in that regard.

To this point, if I'm playing endless and I don't see coins I make a bet that the creator hasn't included 1-ups either and skip it.

DalaranJ, I updated one of my levels, Descent into the Thwomp cistern and it's got a new code, can you update the sheet with P4L-M3J-DWG?

it fixes a potential way to block your own progress and also fixes some unfair blind Thwomps.
