Topic: Super Mario Maker - OT

I played your level. It's fun and a little challenging. Didn't really get why there was a Fire Mario flower available, I might've missed something but I didn't see the point of it as you get tall Mario in the next part which is all you need to get ahead and being tall/super gets in the way when jumping through the blocks to coins section anyway.

@ButchManly: shake the platforms and they'll change color

Is there a way to just find people or do you have ot find their level first then follow them.

Why aren't my Nintendo friends who own this game already in a "friends" list? Similar to Splatoon.

@FernandoMachado Thanks!

thank you for playing! Good point - I wanted to give the player some kind of item, but I also wanted this reward not to be risk free - hence the saw underneath the block. So if you get your timing right you get the item. It couldn't have been a mushroom because mushrooms move when they land, and I wanted it to be a "you get it or you don't" kind of item. Then you have the next section where you need to be a bigger Mario anyway, because you have to smash the blocks, and I had to put another block with the mushroom, otherwise players who didn't get the flower the room before would have had to restart the level. I could have changed the order of the rooms after everything was done, but editing the pipes is not really intuitive for a first timer and I just left it the way it came.

But yeah, I agree, had I planned everything in advance you wouldn't get those "inconsistencies", but I kinda improvised as I went on. Thanks again for playing.

Hey guys, i just made this course it has multiple paths. I'd love if anyone wanted to check it out. Tell me if you like it or not :3

Anyone else wish there was a feature to send a level to a friend on your friend list once you finish it so they can test it out before you upload it to the public? I'm having my little brother play my courses before I upload them, but he doesn't have much interest Mario and just prefers to watch me play, haha.

@Retro_on_theGo Yes that would be so nice!

I'm planning another Zelda dungeon based level, but this time using Bob-ombs as the main item. I'm still planning everything out and playing around with the different ways Bob-ombs can be used, and I'm already having fun doing this! There are so many different ways of using different tools together that really allow for a lot of creativity!

You guys should post your levels on mariomakeronline.com. It's another place for you to post your levels and add short descriptions. I'm sure you'll get more plays (and stars), so check it out.

First thoughts after 1,5 hours of playing. Never playing 100 Mario Challenge on Hard again before I have to. The level design in those levels were either: "The whole level is filled with enemies" or "Do perfect jumps of faith while there's little to no space to land on". At least the final level I encountered was well designed apart from a couple design flaws (mainly a Thwomp you can't see before it's too late). I starred that course and another while I was playing on Medium. Not handing stars too easily to keep people from making more frustrating levels and the ones where you do nothing and you win. Tomorrow I'll be trying to design my own course. I'm not uploading anything unless I've tested them multiple times and found the right balance. Quality over quantity.

^yep that's been my fear from the beginning. people making ridiculously hard levels. They need a better filter for "hard" and exclude the levels that have lower than 15% completion.

I only give out stars to levels that I found fun and a hard level doesn't automatically mean it's fun.

@Lycidas: Thanks,happy you enjoyed it.Yeah I didn't notice that unfortunately until the next day and it's annoying me that I missed it.Wish I could edit it without having to reupload it again.

I just made what I think is my best one yet 'The Great Rig in the Sky' Not sure how long exactly I was at it for but must have been close to 4 hours haha

Hi

3 short levels I made, you need to think a little to get through:

D32D-0000-001A-7668 - Fast or Fall, Underground!
B31A-0000-0026-9F03 - The Unbreakable Hat you need
E27B-0000-0033-B2D9 - Ghost Trap! Can you escape?

It would be cool if you could place a block in your level that when hit switched between game styles or level type and you could control what it switched between.

So made my next "big" level. I don't want to spoil much, so just check it out!

I reached the enemy/item limit for some reason... There aren't many.. And I'm serious, no enemy spam.. ??? Strange..

My next level is almost done, hopefully I won't have issues, since I'm dealing with Hammer Bros. And in the last level they wouldn't stay put so I had to put them on rails. This one involves a second layer in the sublevel, so I'm hoping the enemies up above won't screw you up on the bottom. lol

Hi! Im looking forward to trying courses from creators who put time and effort into making them. At this point I have just been lost in a jungle of automatics or sloppy design. I do not ask of much, just a sign of effort is enough. I have tried some of the courses posted here, and they have all been far better then what I could find on Course World.

I will continue to check this forum for good courses, so I hope you keep it up! I have also created some courses that I am rather pleased with, hope you check them out!

I had the game crash on my friends level. Total screen lock and freeze. Had to power the console off at the Wii U.

I was on Yoshi and there were a lot of enemies on the screen and I tried to jump off yoshi in the air. First time my Wii U has ever crashed.

Finished my level, Hammer Bros. Factory, code is on the sharing thread. Have fun.
