Topic: Super Mario Maker - OT

Wow... that's actually a really kool level design... wouldn't mind giving that one a go.

Is it September yet? TwT

which is why I wouldn't mind giving it a go. The 4 from the NWC will be included too. Can't wait to try those either!

So you can't set checkpoints in this game. This will be bad for people wanting to make/play long levels because people are going to get annoyed at long levels if they have to start all the way back at the beginning if they died, and it'll be very boring doing the same parts over and over.

@Jason723: all the videos so far have not had any checkpoints in but then again they've all been using the 'beta' version and Nintendo have confirmed that there's more content in the game than what's already been seen so it's always possible. They might include it or they might not, but I can't imagine it's going to be a particularly big downfall if they exclude it.

@Jason723: Maybe checkpoints will be implemented in the final version. However, they may not be, and I thought of a possible reason why. What if people will only play levels that have checkpoints because the others are "too hard?" That might be a possible reason why Nintendo left them out. But, maybe they didn't. Maybe checkpoints are in the game and maybe what I said is improbable.

I really hope they managed to integrate slopes. Even if it's just one type a slope like 45° slope, that would be enough for all kinds of koopa shell and butt sliding shenanigans.

There better be checkpoints.

A lot of the levels I see getting praised look like the person just attempted to cram a bunch of random crap in it and put you in a position where you get a bunch of momentum and move really fast with a star and kill a bunch of enemies. I want to make mines more clean looking and strategy based. I'm still wondering how much freedom we actually will have when making levels but can't wait till it comes out.

@TeeJay: Hopefully. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard for Nintendo to implement that feature. IGN said Nintendo said not everything has been shown.

That's a very good point that few are making. Good Mario levels should have design beyond cramming enemies and death traps into a tiny amount of space and acting like 'oh my god its so difficult' is the best thing on the planet. At the moment, with most of the levels we've seen it's closer to Kaizo Mario Maker than Super Mario Maker...

@Rexcalibr: Finally, someone with good sense on how levels should be made.

Ive been saying that since I saw Mario Maker.
Common people just like to cram a lot of things, and they look like a mess.

Lol @ kaizo mario maker - now there's a game! Have u seen the level created in the facebook hackathon that would be featured? The link is somewhere on this thread... now that's a decent level design... I think enough people will want decent levels enough to create decent levels. When you find someone who does... 'follow' them to ensure u get more decent levels! that's what I'm gona do anyway.

So you can't upload a level you can't beat yourself, but that apparently isn't stopping people from making a level impossible to beat if you wasted a Koopa shell or P-Switch. https://youtu.be/QRcEcffvVnU?t=2m57s

(But I guess, you could always just edit their level to make it beatable.)

Eh, it's kinda puzzle-like when you think about it. lol

That's a good level in my opinion. It looks like they really put some thought into designing it and it is hard but not in a way that you really just have to get lucky to make it through it. I would throw a link suit into that one right at the beginning.

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows (or thinks) there will be a Wii U bundle with Super Mario Maker announced and/or released on Sept 11 in the USA. I am finally ready to pull the trigger after watching this game progress for months now, and am holding out with little hope that I will be able to get a Super Mario Maker bundle, but Nintendo isn't talking.

@Askeptic: There is definitely a Wii U bundle with this game.
Don't know what you mean by Nintendo not talking though, they announced it last month.

Thank you. Isn't this announcement strictly for the UK (PAL) version of the game and system though?

...Maybe he means NA...
