Topic: Super Mario Maker - OT

Thanks for the heads up, great group! I have found a few kaizo level makers to follow already.

@j-BL00D: Love that "Short but not Sweet" stage, even if it took me many tries to finally figure it out!
Starred it immediately I cleared it.

@Vee_Flames: glad you liked it.

Hey guys I came across a pretty well built puzzling ghost house. It's not hard in the sense that you will die, but it will make you scratch you head and double back a few times. Keep an eye on the clock. It's a big level
https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/5661-000...

So... I was inspired by Two Tribe's RUSH, @j-BL00D's Short but not Sweet course, and @mrichston's A Gem Box puzzle stage, and so I set out to create my first puzzle course. Here it is!

So you'll have to solve each of the puzzles to get to the goal. It might be hard at first, but once you solve the course it's unbelievably easy. You could even do a speed run on it.
There are also some Metroidvania-esque elements in this course, just so you guys know! Also, due to the structure of the course, it was a bit difficult to implement "reset doors" so if you mess up or get stuck, just start all over. You don't need to start all over in the later part of the course, though. You should know it when you see it!
EDIT: A gamebreaking bug was found in the original version, so said version was replaced with a new one fixing the issue. New bookmark link below:

Note that the ID on NL's course description doesn't work anymore.

The official level that gave us Daisy was pretty fun. It also had some new objects, like strange underwater-mushrooms and rings with faces. I guess those will be added for usage in a future update. Or did I miss something, and we can already use them?!

@Henmii You can already use those. You can use the "rings with faces" by shaking a grinder, and by "underwater mushrooms", I'm assuming you mean the mushroom platforms? You could always use those.

For anime fans I uploaded my first musical level.

I am proud of it and hope you enjoy it as well.

Bookmarked

So...I made some levels:

And, just because I decided to be "that guy" and be an a-hole:
Definitely easy (722A-0000-0160-A191)

@Vee_Flames:
That's the second time I heard the term Mertroidvania. Still not really sure what it means. But I just did a video on a level with that in the title. I thought it was a really good puzzle. It wasn't so hard in the sense of dying but it definitely makes you scratch your head and double back a few times and time is tight the first couple times around. I really recommend this course.

Here's a full walkthrough video. I don't recommend viewing before playing the level

@j-BL00D: metroidvania is an amalgamation of two popular franchises, Metroid and Castlevania. It describes a game (or a level) in which you do just what you had to do, double back - often with new power ups, in order to explore a part of the level that has already been covered but now with a fresh perspective; using your newfound ability to clear a previously unaccessible path. This sort of gameplay is common in Metroid, Castlevania and metroidvania games.

@LavaTwilight: Thanks. That's what I was guessing

I managed to figure out the Metroid Castlevania part but not sure what it implied. I really like levels like that. It's not so straight forward and makes you think. I really like when builders put great thought in their levels

And if you (or anyone else) have the time, please see my two new levels, one of which is based on a Japanese Anime. Enjoy

@99mushrooms and anyone who may have bookmarked my " Vee Flames' Spectacular Puzzle," I have to apologize; some game-breaking bugs were found by others who have played the course, so I had to fix such bugs. There's also some new stuff, which I will detail below. Thanks very much to @Kinan for discovering the unintended parts of the course! It's really hard to spot those things when you're the creator (especially of a puzzle level), so hopefully the amount of time I spent debugging (or trying to, at least) will not be in vain.
Now on to the new stuff:

• New puzzle elements, so it's not like it's all too familiar with those who've already played it (looking at you, Kinan!).
• Course edits to prevent unintended actions and bugs
• Course edits to make the course a more enjoyable experience.
  And nope, still no checkpoints or reset doors.

So once again, to those who have already bookmarked the original version, sorry for the inconvenience!

I'm guessing you replied to the wrong person because I had no idea what that ment until it was just described to you either. I think the term was used in a post I quoted but not by me. Now that I know what it means, I do have one of those though.

Rebookmarked, I will try it tonight. Yea that is why I love watching people play my levels. I will be able to record levels myself soon and will take requests here, watching someone play a level different than you intended is so much more valuable than normal feedback because often they don't realize that they found away around your puzzle.

Here are some shorter levels I have recently made. Enjoy and feel free to give feedback!

@NintendoFan64,

Thanks for the answer! I guess I did overlook those in the stage-builder. I'll try out soon!

Do you guys remember the tank level from SMB3? Well Bowser has upgraded his arsenal to take Mario out! Will Mario make it through this marauding menace?

@99mushrooms: Glad you like it. I posted that with you in mind actually. There are several people on there who are having trouble getting stars because they make really challenging courses. I'd help them out but I'm more of an expert kind of person, not super expert.
