I sound worse than a Youtube star.

Another ultra-short level. You will need all your wall jumping skills to beat the timer. Can you do it?

I don't browse the forums very often so I have a question.

Where are you guys getting your banners for your levels?

@ClassicJetterz: If you go to the Nintendolife home page, and click the yellow Super Mario Maker box on the right, you can upload levels to get the banner. Once you uploaded a level, copy the embed part of it, leave enter spaces above and below to post it here when typing a comment.

Actually, the embed text doesn't work here - the HTML doesn't work on the forum. Just copy the URL of the page you're on, and paste it here directly.

Join Captain Toad on a treasure hunt!

There are very few places in this level where you can jump, so it's best to play it with the same limitations as Captain Toad Treasure Tracker - no jumping. Earn lots of coins and a few 1ups along the way.

...I dunno if anyone has been following me in this game or not...but yeah I haven't made any new levels in a while. Been playing a few other games (randomly had this urge to play Majora's Mask 3D and Between Worlds........and Hyrule Warriors, lol) for now. So yeah...I'll get back into creating some more levels at some point. Maybe my 3-4 can be done by Halloween. (would make sense, since I'm going to make it a haunted airship combo level, lol)

hey I've seen some levels that were locked horizontally similar to a traditional SMB level. Anyone know how to do this?

Had to fix one of my old levels, should be a lot more enjoyable now, and there is more assistance.

My latest creation:

My wife challenged me to create a level that she would enjoy without getting to see it first. Knowing that she was a big fan of Super Mario World, and knowing which elements of levels I've played on here that she found entertaining, I put this one together. It's styled like a classic SMW level, and includes a few puzzles, some free flight, a few secrets, and what I think is the most exciting boss fight here.

She loved it, and I hope you do too!

I'm not exactly sure what you mean but if you only want a level to scroll horizontally without any vertical movement don't put anything above the screen line.

@GIR I saw a SMW level that was just 1 cape and you flew through the level (really boring) but the camera was locked at the original height. It never panned up at all.

That's exactly what I mean. Most likely there wasn't anything above the line which is why it didn't pan up. Only when you put stuff above it will it pan up. So if you don't want it to pan simply don't put anything above the line.

I made two quick levels this weekend.

Mario skips Bowser's castle by going under it! Short level

A SMB ghost house level. Pretty standard. Plays quick.

@OneBagTravel: Already played those two, and liked them a lot ^^

Thanks Dano. The Ghost house was just on a whim and it turned out better than I expected. I'm digging this short and simple style I've been using lately. I think it's because I value the under 90 second levels that I play in the Mario 100 challenge. I get a sense of fatigue when a level goes on too long. (I could see this being fixed if they every implement a check point system.)

@OneBagTravel: Yeah the checkpoints will have to be put in the game. Everyone wants it, and the game needs it. I also made two shorter levels recently. They're time attacks. People tend to give more tries to this kind of levels before judging them.

Does anybody present their levels on Reddit? I see that level presentations require images or a video; do I need to post Imgur links or can I just post the image URL for the Miiverse screenshot? It says that "Images must be hosted on a popular general image host like imgur", but what's wrong with the Miiverse image URL?

Also, one of my levels, Wet And Dry, is currently on the front page of this website:
http://www.mariomakermuseum.com/

Two things: First, Nintendo hosts the images on Miiverse, and in general it's not good to use another company's resources for general hosting on sites like Reddit - if an image from Miiverse is embedded in a Reddit thread along with lots of other images, that's generating a lot of load for Nintendo's site that isn't directly related to Nintendo's traffic. That runs up their costs with no benefit, and at the very least it's considered rude to the company. (In some cases, it can cause lawsuits.)

And second, because Miiverse is an HTTPS site (meaning, it provides some level of security), a site like Reddit would need to provide what's called a "Cross-Origin Request" to access secure content from another domain. Miiverse is very unlikely to be set up to allow that, unlike an image hosting service, so it would likely not work at all.

The reason you see Miiverse images on this site is that they're running a script that pulls the image from Miiverse behind the scenes and stores a copy locally. The images on this site are actually hosted here, so when you see them in the forum, they're not generating extra traffic on Miiverse. (I noticed the SMM level database also links to the Miiverse post so that people can go straight there and see Miiverse comments, respond there, etc. That sort of thing is considered polite in the Web world.)
