So is there any way to get the Big Mushroom without using the 30th Anniversary Amiibo? Having all of the other Amiibo stuff unlockable except for the one that actually effects gameplay would be a super shitty move.

Well, I changed the bullshit fire at the end seeing how it was clearly stupid and everyone kept dying there, thanks to Gsnap and whoever else played it.
You made a fun stage, I managed to complete it and gave you a star. Thanks!
Hmm I will definitely go back and tweak some of the dry bones issues, and the donut climb is a trick
it leads to a ghost room that you have to maneuver back out of and has no purpose other than to be an annoying ghost room..And yeah at the end on top there's a pipe that spews out shells for you to make an opening near the goal but it's good to always find ways to break a level so thanks !
Even though it didn't really tickle your fancy, thanks for playing them man and for your thoughts on them! Definitely will keep in mind what you've said
Damn I see all these levels, I have made 3-4 more but didn't have the time to finalize them so I'm stuck with only the first one uploaded.
NSMB theme is really tempting since it also gives you the wall jump and personally I like its looks, but I plan on giving my favourite SMB3 the love it deserves.
edit: Oh and I'm planning to follow you all of you when I get the chance.

I checked last night and only had 7 stars across my levels. Would love for people to give them a try and provide some feedback, so I can think about my levels going forward.

Thanks a bunch man! And yeah, I definitely played it safe by repeating mechanics and slowly easing the player in. Mainly because I was unsure of how well it would pan out considering spikes + underwater + lots of projectiles sounds awful. I'll try more water stuff later once I unlock the ability to sub world.
I actually used the amiibo mushroom here specifically because I wanted the player to swim more comfortably through gaps yet still be able to take an extra hit, which is great because the hitbox stays the same as small mario. Had I just done Mario with a mushroom I think it would've guaranteed you losing it constantly and possibly be frustrating.
But yeah, I picked Shy Guy because I thought he had the cutest and coolest swim animation (those little legs!) out of the costumes I had lol.
Posting these again since I'm close to unlocking the second medal (I think).
I'm really enjoying all the GAF levels so far. I keep sending the codes to myself via email and check them out after work if I have time to play.

Still needs a little work. I don't have pathway and you can only use up to 3 Bowsers (to replace DK) so no fourth level. Still, pretty faithful to the original. Except for Bowser spitting fire at you from his cage.

‎made a fourth level titled 'De Daumier-Smith's Blue Period' (ID: 9FD1-0000-003F-4D8B)
sort of a side project and more an expression of mood than a mario level, that's all i'm gonna say‎
‎
You make levels look good! Maybe a bit too loose but I enjoyed taking in the sights, so it's a success!‎
‎
‎
‎
Some clever ideas -- thwomps hitting P blocks is great -- but I hate levels like this where I'm doing everything exactly like the creator meant to. It feels like I'm running a drill. Good ideas, but levels are meant to be interactive, you know? I liked the end bit more where I was actually doing things. Still, spin jumping is fun so I can see people digging this.‎
‎
‎‎
‎
The tight spaces in the water are way too close and a pain to get through. Liked the above-ground stuff but it was over before in knew it. Other than that it's not bad... was I supposed to find Yoshi?
Not a fan of gimmick levels but I can't lie, it was fun. Sort of mindless but it had that Sonic feel. You accomplished what you set out to do with this level!‎
Thwomps hitting moving platforms is a weird concept to base a level around, but you nailed it. You know how to introduce it, put a spin on it and take it up to another difficulty level. It also doesn't feel tacked on -- you take time away from the thwomps, so when the player gets back to them, it's significant. However, at the one point just before the end you have thwomps, and podobos, and bullet bills, and fire bars. It's just too much to time all at once. Otherwise very good job -- I just wish the game let us have more control over moving platforms.
I wanted to love this level so badly, but the difficulty is just not managed. There's a part in the first bit with the vine grip where three sawblades converge on Mario if you go up. It's OK to let the player find two solutions to a problem! I also couldn't get past the second part without tanking a hit. If it weren't for the difficulty issue I'd have given this a big ol' star and told the world about it. I loved how you jerry-rigged the vine to pop at the start of the stage, it was hilarious. I laughed every time.
And yes, I did beat it.
‎So I have this idea but something about it is just not right, would appreciate feedback on thism8-bit Pop Star recreation stage
I'D 21C0-0000-0040-53FA
The first half just seemed too empty and wayyyy too close to the ground. The second half with the cannons was more fun. Loved the mini-boss room, though! At the end of the day I think Kirby doesn't translate one-to-one into Mario. If you made a stage a little more inspired by Kirby, taking the highlights from this level, I think you'd have something great.
Made a new level today called Trust The Coins, way more complex than the few I've been doing for the past few days, though I'm still missing a lot of tools. Here it is in case someone wants to give it a try. Also, any kind of feedback would be deeply appreciated.
I was 0 for 10 and didn't make it particularly far. A little less than halfway judging by the map, where I "trusted the coins" downward onto a platform that quickly dropped me to death before I could see the upcoming situation. It's a bit too hard. It may not seem like it to you since you know the hazards, but the map very quickly changes pacing. It goes from running max speed with a flutter jump (on the first jump!) and then full speed off a second one onto the skull raft where you're supposed to hit a dead stop. Doesn't feel intuitive. Plus on that raft the fireballs were hitting me every time. I can only imagine it stays that hard throughout so I lost interest but gave it a fair shot.
Thanks, I made it the day that Mario started leaving a trail for me, so I suppose it did cause me to gimmick it up. I appreciate the feedback. I was having one issue with the middle gimmick where the physics were inconsistent with the music block. I think maybe Mario moves faster if you have a super star but I'm not sure. I figure the less of 2 evils was to make it work without the star and if it didn't always work with the star, at least the person is invincible.
Thanks, will definitely spend more time on refining it then.
Edit:
I edited the level, removed and added some things, including some you mentioned, and re-uploaded it, here it is in case you'd like to try it out again:

Currently racking my brain about my entry for the 1-1 contest.
It has to be easy and it has to teach things, which means we need to assume that people playing it have played no Mario level before. On the other hand, it can't be boring. And on another third hand, it can't be too derivative of what Nintendo came up with for each of the four games.
I'll probably break out paper for this one.

I'll let the others to answer that since I have only scratched the surface.
But I'll tell you that if you buy a Wii U you will probably find a lot of value in other games too.
New level:
Trial by Fire ~Bring your helmet~
ID:E42F 0000 0040 B304
Tile set: Super Mario Bros. 3
World: Castle
Im going to be honest, im not feeling it with this one, was aiming for a more cohesive theme on the level (fire) but my boss fight experiment didn't come out as expected.
The boss is two "dragons" going in circles around Mario, you defeat them by headbutting them with a spiny helmet. Remember, pick a helmet up and then press down to wear it.
Now the bad news, seems like the game has a bit of a problem when picking up new helmets from the ground, sometimes Mario will kick it instead of picking it up and it basically screws you over, so be careful and try not to run towards it.
For some reason small Mario is less likely to kick it, as long as you hold y and down running towards it as small Mario he will instantly wear it.

May I make a suggestion for etiquette In this thread?
If you want your level critiqued, perhaps you should include a critique of another person's level in your post. Post two levels? Feedback on two others.
That way there is a better chance that everyone's level gets played.

Finished a new level! Mario's fallen asleep on the job, and it's up to you to wake him up! Help him escape from his dreams while avoiding strange things.
It's fun making levels that are thematic over Kaizo levels of unfair platforming.

This is one thing that's been bothering me, and surely it has to be possible, as the 10-Mario challenge levels do it.
How the hell do you connect the start and regular ground in levels? I cannot figure it out. There's always that little gap that shows they are two seperate landmasses. It's triggering my OCD and bothers the hell out of me.

That was fun. Didn't know you could use flying thwomps that way. Died once after that part and the wait there was a bit dull. I'm glad there was only that one section with flying thwomps.
Far as I know, you can't connect them. Best you can do is use a different block or put a bridge to other ground blocks.

My submission:
Super Mario Adventure: World 1-1
Code: 56E3 0000 0040 BF67
Points of interest:
- slowly and carefully teaches the player jumps and enemies (basic 'jumpman') rather than going too crazy with other mechanics
- item boxes grow on mushrooms
- go inside Toad houses
- the exit card is a magic portrait on a Toad house wall
- there's a huge secret near the end involving a magicwhistle super leaf ;-)

If a 10 Mario level does it, can't you just edit that level via Coursebot and see what they did?
Damn, I wonder how they did it for the 10-Mario challenge levels. I guess those were just created by Nintendo without the editor we get.
Also, I haven't tried this yet. If you have pipes connecting your sub-world and main world, and go back and fourth, does it reset the enemies in the sub world?
I enjoyed how weird that was. Definitely prefer this to something insanely difficult.
I should give that a try. I'm curious how it was possible.

Thanks! I tried to make it as weird as possible without being too dumb. All my levels are simple and not overly difficult.

Finshed! Good level dude, I like the hidden fire flower. It helped lots.
Just figured it out: It's only possible in SMB1 style. Looking at all the non-SMB1 10-Mario challenge levels, they all have the gap there. The SMB ones do not, and I even deleted the block and put it back and there was no gap.

I am already afraid
On top of the things you mentioned, it's also completely playable without ever pushing the run button, and the few bottomless pits are very small. Solid level. I'm gonna do a second run of it to see how it plays for a veteran trying to go fast.
Couldn't do anything crazy like chain jump on enemies, but it played well enough going fast. Also found two extra one-ups a beginner would never think to look for. I feel SMBU is better in regards to accomodating veterans and newbies, what with the wall jumping and the air stall, but I think you did great with this. Also like the houses you built.
Excellent level, love your use of scenery and the houses are very clever, specially the goal. This one will be hard to beat in the contest.
My only critique is, too many 1-ups for a 1-1 level.

Less than 30 minutes if you use the method in the OP.
Yes, but not blocks and coins. Like it should be IMO.
First one you made? Nice level. I died twice more than I should have. Stupid piranha plants.
If some folks would check out my level I posted last page and tell me what they think, that'd be great. I'm gonna keep playing more levels here.
Dude I totally get you, when I finished making it I also thought the beginning was a bit too hectic, but I didn't adjust it -_- and I'll adjust the second part two, it didnt seem that way when I play tested it though.. Thanks for the input though man!
gonna have to resubmitThe boss is pretty unique. I keep losing my helmet though, and a couple times I got stuck after killing the whole thing. I threw a shell to the right to break the blocks, and I didn't have a tail to stop them. I'll keep trying for a bit. Edit: And then I got it next try. Now that I realize all I had to do was duck in the left corner, I feel a bit dumb. Getting out of the corner with the P-switch and the spring is a bit weird too. Think you've got a good idea here though.
This is pretty great, and I think Bowser shooting fire from his cage is fine, except in the first level where you're getting it from both sides. Space the levels out more if you can. It'll help when you unlock sub areas if you haven't already.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Don't be! It's not that hard. Provides some challenge, but I'd say it's certainly easier than my Flying Spring levels. Fast paced and fair. The timing required isn't super strict for the most part.

Title: Back to Basics
Code: 3FF9-0000-0040-DC39
Philosophy: I've attempted to re-imagine a new 1-1 in the Mario 3 style, giving a couple nods to the original while trying not to be too derivative. The level attempts to teach the player the basics of the Mushroom and Fire Flower and a few basic enemy types. The level includes 3 1-Up Mushrooms, two easy-to-find hidden areas, and just for kicks an infinite 1-Up trick.

Hah. Thanks for giving it a go! Yeah, that seemingly inaccessible coin entrance to the flag is a little joke I'm playing on the player. There is a wholly different way to access the flag
Hope you enjoyed it
I'll give it another go tonight. I did play it quite late so perhaps my mind entered one track mode so it focused only on that one possible solution.
I did enjoy exploring it and finding secrets in it like the two cloud areas.

Is there a way to get
the 1up on the wall opposite the door to the leaf, or is that just to hint you towards the 1up generator?
I liked it. Not sure about it introducing basics, I think it expects better jumping than that. Impressive how much you dressed the end of the stage.
Level Name: I Wanna Be The Mario
Difficulty: Very Hard, but Short
Code: 4D94-0000-0040-E45B
I wanted to make a hard one, and I had an idea for one level that didn't pan out, so I worked it into this idea. It's a pretty hard level, but it's short for player sanity. It took me about 2 hours to put it together and beat it. I had to change around several jumps to make it manageable and fun.
As always, feedback is appreciated.
