Super Mario Maker

[ZedIsDead]

Anybody else pick this up? I'm having fun just playing some of the online courses. I did make a stage, but it's mostly just the result of me playing around with the creator, rather than an actual attempt to make a great stage.

I haven't made a course yet, just sorting by expert and going down the list. Haven't been stumped yet!

Nice course, a little short but what is there is pretty sweet.

[ZedIsDead]

Thanks. It was my first attempt, I tried to keep it in the style of an actual Mario game, and not bother with any gimmicks.

I don't own the game but my cousin brought it over and we were playing it for a bit. Had a fun time. I'm not really the creative type when it comes to things like building levels so I probably would just play courses people made rather than make them.

I love the exceptionally long and weird cast of characters you can play as.

[ZedIsDead]

I decided to make another course, this time of the airship type.

Wew lads I made a doozy tonight, I'll upload it tommorow.

Captain Jivepants has uploaded a few belters, Luigi 1-1 etc.

I think he's on there as Teter.

Nice airship Zed, took me 3-4 tries, ended up hopping on the cloud and floating to the end lol.

[ZedIsDead]

I knew that Lakitu was a mistake. I'll probably replace him with a Magikoopa.

Steven, I'll give yours a whirl tomorrow.

Maybe put him in a chamber of some sort. So riding him to victory is not an option?

[ZedIsDead]

Steven, your course is brutal. For pretty much the whole thing, you need a perfect run or else you're going to get stuck. In the first bit, I ended up having to take a hit from the Hammer Bro after I broke the nearby blocks so that I could skip ahead using small Mario. Also, that triple Bowser gauntlet is crazy. It took me a while to figure out how to get past that. I eventually ended up bum-rushing the second two Bowsers after being able to kill the first with a Fire Flower. All in all, good level. It definitely left me with a sense of accomplishment once I finally cleared it.

I tried that, and he just flew right out. Not a big deal, I just replaced him with two Magikoopas. I also tweaked the lower fork of the level a little bit and made it harder.

New Course ID: 2C1B 0000 0044 7E31

Please disregard my previous airship level code, I deleted it in favor of this revision.

[Slime Slayer]

Good job figuring it out, I am impressed! Those two things you mentioned are the only way to beat it.

[ZedIsDead]

I made another level. This time, I tried to emulate Super Mario Bros. 3 as closely as possible, so I tried to ensure everything in the level is possible in SMB3. And like its inspiration, the level is pretty easy.

Course ID:5354-0000-0052-7019

[Slime Slayer]

Nice one Zed. Definitely one of the more true to Mario levels I've seen.

I made yet another course, this time a boss rush type. It took me quite a while to beat this one.

Likewise, here is my first attempt. I threw in a hint of gimmicks I guess, but nothing extreme. Designed to be beatable and there is a secret somewhere:

70A2-0000-007D-E5C1

These kinds of games are right up my alley. Not keen on the wait for new things to use system. Going to try the old fast forward the consoles clock trick.

@Nick: Kaizo Nick is unforgiving, but it never feels unfair. It makes me want to try again, which is great. Couldn't really ever get past the piranha plant bit, though.

@Japandering: I liked your level, especially considering you didn't have a whole lot of tools at your disposal. Your level actually felt like a real Mario level.

Good feedback to hear. Thats what i was going for. Making non-boxy land adds a lot i feel personally.

Made a 2nd level. Difficulty ranped up a fair amount. This one is called Pipe Dream inspired off of my favourite level from my smw hack years ago. Similar secret in this one. See if you can find it. Note coins can be a subtle hint.

Pipe Dream was pretty fun. I died a couple times due to stupid mistakes, but the difficulty level wasn't too bad.

I had gone through a few upload playthroughs or whatever (thing you do to ensure it's beatable before upload) and tweaked a few things. added pirhana plant, moved spiny, removed a goomba and a spiny. Something like that. Feels a lot more polished and complete now. So it was a bit too difficult at times, especially at a spot I think you (or a few others died at).

I'm pretty impressed by the amounts of plays my levels have already. I assumed this would be another one of those things where only famous youtubers levels and such are able to be found. Looks like they have a pretty good random optimization in place.

Is clear rate based on deaths/attempts, or each individual giving up or succeeding eventually?

Deaths/attempts.

Are you sure? I thought it was users who have played and not completed it vs. users who have completed it.
