That's the thing i hate about this game. Nobody wants to make regular fun mario levels. All they wanna do is flood it with autoplay, music based or troll levels. What gets me is how these types of levels are the highest rated on the leaderboards. Knock it off i just wanna play a regular mario platforming level! A better name for this game is mario mish mash maker cause that's all it is. Just a mish mash of convoluted nonsense!
Now scuse me I'm gonna go play a real mario game!

So I'm currently trying to make some adjustments and tweaks - as well as patch out any potential cheese - to my Mechakoopa Diableries level (ID 40F-JVW-2YG) after watching other streamers play the level. I saved the level in another slot, updated its name, and got to work on the level.
However... even when I've clearly made some changes (not a whole lot) to the level, I cannot upload the level. How do I get around that? I don't want to continue making changes to the level only to not be able to upload the level.
God first.

@Zeldafan79 Regular mario levels don't get that many likes as people think they're nothing extraordinary or can't tell a difference between a good and bad one. There's plenty of great traditional level creators though finding them takes some work. Here are some recommendations:
Mondo
6H6-M6D-PPF
Hakala
NGQ-CT1-MGF
ArcticEdge
0QH-9NY-PDG
My levels are somewhat traditional. Sometimes more gimmicky, sometimes pretty vanilla:

Hi, I'm fairly new to the level making scene. I've watched people like DGR, GPB, and Ryukar for ages though on both Mario Maker 1 and 2.
My first 2 levels got modest plays, 37 and 55 respectively, but my most recent level from 2 days ago has exactly 1 play. I make traditional short levels with moderate but never hard difficulty.
Level code for my latest is 3WP-C7F-QSG
If you enjoy it, please feel free to check out my other levels. I'll be making new ones about once a week or earlier. Maker ID is O46-JHT-OWG
I managed to upload 83 courses in Super Mario Maker 2. I was busy making new courses alot since I got the game around June 27th, 2019 (one day before of launch of SMM2)

My latest level: a castle level involving basic platforming and avoiding cannonballs. No real gimmicks or kaizo tricks. Just a short run and jump level. There's some secret 1ups and coins to grab using koopa shells.

@King-Marth-64 Played your Thwomps Smash Galoombas Castle level. That was cool! Well made puzzle level, fun mechanic, didn't overstay its welcome.
@FluffyMikeB: I played your Desert Dig level. The idea is really cool: I didn't know you could use the SMB2 mushroom to dig up clouds. Reminds me of some digging levels in Yoshi's Island and Kirby's Epic Yarn. Bet one could make a good Steamworld Dig style level... But I digress. The blind drop was the main thing that got me in the level: I think I died 5 or so times to that. Well, by died, I mean "lost my SMB2 mushroom and restarted in case I still needed it." Also, this didn't happen to me until I deliberately tested it, but the level is soft-locked if the player hits one of the goombas or the angry sun in the first section. That might be on purpose, but if it isn't, a pipe spawning SMB2 Mushrooms in the first section would fix that.
@Dodger Thank you for playing, I've had so much trouble getting plays on it. The blind drop is hard, it gets me a lot too. But, you didn't have to start over. There's a 2nd SMB2 mushroom right beside the red pipe that takes you the final area. I can see the trouble with getting hit in the 1st area though, and not being able to dig. Is it difficulty or unfair? Not sure.
@FluffyMikeB For what my two cents are worth (in this case, literally not even two cents - they're probably worth fractions of a cent to the site owners because of the ad revenue), I think there's two different approaches to Mario Maker design there, or at least two extremes.
One is that, since the game has infinite lives and a quick respawn time, allowing players to figure out things through trial and error is acceptable level design. The other is more traditional design, that a challenge which forces the player to die to figure out the challenge with no visual cues or safe experimentation is bad level design. The former treats a level as a puzzle to be solved by trial and error, the latter treats a level as a series of visual cues: if the player reacts to the visual cues properly, they can win on the first try.
There are examples of this in other games too: A platformer like Celeste doesn't require you to die, but since it has no lives and a fast respawn time, it has no problems with allowing you to figure out mechanics by dying. Again, this works because there's little to no consequence for dying. However, a game like say, Mario World, introduces a life system which means there is a consequence for dying, losing a life and eventually getting a game over. A game like Mario World therefore attempts to show the player how mechanics work before putting them in a life or death situation, to give visual cues as to where they should jump, and often to reward momentum by putting obstacles in such a way that the player holding right will usually be able to react to them without slowing down.
Since Mario Maker is more like Celeste in that regard, I think situations where the player learns through failure are acceptable, but a given level designer still has to ask whether any particular instance of that type of level design is good design, if that makes sense.
@Dodger Thanks for sharing the Cannons course; I played it last night.
We've now gone up to fourty courses - I thought I would share some of the more absurd (but fun, at least to me) ones:
2KD-CGV-DCG Spikeball Un-Amusement Ride
I had experimented running parallel tracks, one with a Bumper, and the other with a Spikeball (you have to spin-jump on the Spikeball....the Bumper produces a hilarious effect on the spin-jumping).
LR3-C8J-DPF Mechakoopa Dumpster Fire
You have 100 seconds to throw 10 Mechakoopas into a 'burning dumpster' (more like an incinerator). Just don't go through the door until all 10 are toasted (you will be trapped).
61Y-XS8-HGF Spin-Stress Test
I was playing around with the SMBU themes, and found that if you have the Airship theme at night, you can spin-jump on a Mechakoopa, and propel higher and higher.
RPM-NGY-2GG Random Ridiculousness 30 Seconds
I was inspired by Phenotype's legendary "Lucky Draw' course from SMM1 (instead, I just threw a whole array of Kameks and question blocks). I'm a bit surprised, folks seem to really like this course.
5DW-8Q6-T7G Lemmy Defaults on Car Payments
This is a bit abstract. The idea is that Lemmy refused to make payments on his Clown Car, so Mario has to go into Lemmy's house, forcibly get the key (which is a really, REALLY chaotic Boss Battle, but easier than it looks), then go into the neighbouring garage, and then drive the Clown Car through a tricky spike tunnel to the goal (Mario can potentially get trapped where the Star is bouncing...that wasn't intentional, but I kind of liked it set up that way).
