Topic: Super Mario Maker - OT

Disappointing, but understandable. Also, do you know if the Creator of the level has to complete the level naked (without power-ups) before they upload it or can they make a level that requires certain power-ups at certain times?

@DefHalan: The creator just has to beat the level before they upload it, no other special condition.
So yeah, they'll be levels where a certain power-up is needed to complete the level.

The level just has to be completed, so you can make it where you need a certain powerup to win and still upload it.

@DreamyViridi: @Megumi: Thanks, but again, disappointing.

I'm concerned, my Super Mario Maker bundle from the Nintendo UK Online Store hasn't been dispatched yet and the game comes out in just over 2 days.

Well it's a shame for everyone who's having to deal with game but this is why I've moved on to shopto! Seriously I hope everyone gets their game and money okay!

I bought the digital download on the E-shop so I should have it around 9pm Thursday since I live in California.

I bought the digital download on the E-shop so I should have it around 12am Friday since I live in Vermont.

What the power-up thing? Yeah that sucks...maybe an update will bring that in, or the sequel, who knows.

@DefHalan

Why is that disappointing, look at the Metroid level that was created, that wouldn't be possible without the mandatory power ups.

The only real disappointment so far is the time restrictions.

...and no Snake Block things. TwT I mean we still have the tracks, but...the Snake blocks are more unpredictable because you can't tell where they're going.

They will probably dispatch it on Wednesday.

@Darth_Vader: Disappointing because it isn't following rules set in the Mario games. Super Mario Maker is following its own rules and because of these rules, there will be levels where if you don't do everything perfect you can reach a point where you cannot finish the level. I haven't seen the Metroid level you speak of but I thought amiibo mushrooms were just skins. Do they add special abilities too?

Agreed with @DefHalan, I saw a level that's impossible to beat if you wasted a P-switch or a Koopa shell. In a real Mario game, if you wasted a P-switch, you could go through a door and it would refresh.

@DefHalan: They don't add abilities. The way the level worked was you travel around and explore finding power ups to let you progress to new areas.

It's how you build the level, you don't need to make levels like that. As for for the challenge games you can just skip them anyways if you run into a level like that.

@DefHalen This is the level in question, a perfect use of the clause- though I see how it can be abused.

Oh wow, that is actually a clever stage

I don't think the idea of needing a certain item to beat a stage is bad, but I agree it's going to lead to a lot of bad stages that are overly difficult and rely on trial and error. A lot of the stages I saw IGN create and post on Youtube just look trollish and I wouldn't waste much effort on them. I think most people will skip them unless they're hardcore enthusiastic about hard (unfair) levels.

Well this is to be expected from a creation game. It's going to have a variety of stages
