BTW, tried your new version of the "Ghosts in the Machine" (though haven't played the earlier ones) - beat it first try! Haha, but it wasn't too easy at all, kinda surprised myself. Super well-crafted though - it felt like it was never gonna end, but in the best way possible. Starred (your star total is impressive!) and followed. Thanks again!
Thanks for playing and congratulations for beating it first try. That is very impressive. Though I really made the level hard, the level is forgiving and you shouldn't die so much as in other hard levels. However, not dying once shows that you were really concentrated. I guess one is really cautious at the end of the level since the first part was so long
Very good! I will try your other levels, too.
@Freeon-Leon: Couldn't sleep so I played all your courses. Really Bowser's Frosty Fortress is such a neat idea and so colorful...and such a great challenge without relying on cheap tricks and random chance
I really enjoyed them all of course~ But that one was my favorite
Some of my favorites, please try them :D

@Chandlero: Ghosts In The Machine 1.5 is really a stellar example of clever design Like a good machine, everything is timed perfectly. The fakeout ending got me good, and your secret area was just awesome to find
Some of my favorites, please try them :D

I'm not sure if it's just me, but this past week I saw a pretty sharp drop-off in stars. This is most likely just being unlucky, but it makes me wonder about when it will be rare to get random plays. More and more courses are being thrown into the game. This means your courses continue to have lower and lower odds of being randomly played. Add this to the eventuality that the player-base shrinks for whatever reason and getting a random play could end up being a rare thing. Long term Super Mario Maker will live on forums and ID sharing, but I wonder when the drop-off of random plays will begin.
Currently Playing: SMITE, ROTTR, Halo 5: Guardians (XB1), Xenoblade Chronicles X (WiiU), Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 2 (3DS)
Hi all!!! I finally bit the bullet and took some of my older levels offline to make way for newer ones (and a few I've revisited). Hope you take the time to play them, and if you like them please star!!! All comments gratefully received as always ). If you do like, more are on my profile.
Dreary overcast day today and all I wanna be doing is making more levels. Currently at 20/30 levels and 180 stars so I have some room to grow. 300 stars seems so far away
Putting this in here as well, since there seems to be more activity than in the other thread.
Chances are I won't make another course this difficult in a long time, since just getting it published was hell. But I hope you guys will find an enjoyable, different-from-the-norm challenge in it.
@Kinan: Thank you for playing my level! It was cool to watch someone go through one of my creations, and your comments make it better.
The feather at the end of the first part was put there in order to make the level easier and somewhat accesible, but people have died a LOT anyway. The lack of piranha plants is because the timing in SMM is really tricky and I didn't want them to kill the players in cheap ways, and because the real challenge was platforming and keeping momentum.
Again, thank you very much! If you ever need another good level just check my profile
@Kinan: Thanks for playing my Chrono Trigger song course! I know it's not your usual challenge, but from a creator standpoint, it is a BIG challenge to make those. I think music courses are highly underrated.
@PracticePixie: Just played your Star Fox level. That's really cool! You did a great job with "building" the Arwing at the start, and I loved the other little references throughout (I picked up on the Great Fox about 2/3 of the way through). Nicely done. Also, your little joke at the end was highly amusing.
I have created 11 levels so far. They are in order from newest to oldest. Love to get some reviews on them. Pick one and scratch your head.

Found this topic, wanted to chime in.
I've been shamelessly self-promoting my stages as of late.
Anyway, here's my page - https://www.nintendolife.com/super-mario-maker/users/AlexSora89 - so you can choose any stage among the ones I made. My personal picks are as posted in the "We want your levels" article:
3AEE-0000-0048-6590 - Dinner Table Of The Giants. The title says it all - pipes now are a stand in for bottle necks. (NSMBU style)
1E94-0000-0044-39AC - Fast-thinking 10-second Marathon. Ten seconds, conveyor belts, all the good stuff. (NSMBU style)
A6CA-0000-0046-9DBF - The Cursed Flagpole! Yeah, the flagpole is right there. But leaping towards it won't suffice... (NSMBU style)
A2B4-0000-0048-8D95 - King Midas' Cave. The coins are up for grabs, but you'll need to be rather choosy if you want to make it out of this level alive! (NSMBU style)
A050-0000-004A-5350 - Scratchcard Wall Feat. 3 Bowsers. Find the right spot to "scratch" and wait for the Bowsers to do their thing until the goal is revealed! (SMB3 style)
Feel free to browse the remaining five stages in the profile I linked in this post, and of course, feel free to tell me if any of these got you to throw your controller against the wall (any feedback is good feedback to me).
I don't quite have lots o' loot, because I'm from the Boot.
@AlexSora89: ciao Alex mi fa piacere vedere un altro italiano attivo qui - più tardi provo i tuoi livelli!
I've tried and gave a well deserved star to a bunch of level tonight - you know who you are. @DanoLefourbe 's quick challenge stages stood out because they were super fun, the difficulty was basically perfect and they were beautiful to look at. More "one minute challenges" please!! I would pay money to play some of those!!
Shameless plug - my new level is doing "alright" but I need 7 more stars to move on. It's a good level with decent ideas and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it if you're in for a challenge. Only 5 people out of 20 completed it, but it's not really hard if you know what you are doing. You don't have to give it a star but a try is highly appreciated. Cheers.
