Battle of the Hindenbowser
(C5FF-0000-0038-8998)
My latest, greatest creation... I must have played this level a hundred times tweaking the difficulty. This is a spiritual successor of sorts to my previous level Bowser's Heavy Metal Battalion and by extension Assault on Goomba Factory (both of these and the rest of my other stages can be found HERE. )
Basically, I wanted to recreate the feel of Revenge of the Meta Knight as best as I could. Mario infilrates the ship. Bowser gets more and more desperate... ramping up the difficulty. It all culminates into the most epic boss fight I've been able to muster up thus far. I keep my enemy pool shallow, only varying upon the enemies I've used previously. All and all it feels pretty cohesive. I did my best with the length and the difficulty, while also trying to use the most of the 500 seconds to build tension. I put the most time and thought into this stage out of all my previous incarnations, so I would greatly appreciate if you guys would play it, give me some feedback and star it if you like it.
I'll be more than happy to play and star your stages in return, simply PM me one and I'll conquer the whole lot of them.
Reuploaded with more signage. I'd really appreciate it if you guys gave it a spin!

I did play it a long time ago but never owned it myself. I've mostly just seen videos online of songs made in Mario Paint.

All righty, going to bust through some random levels in recent pages. Here's my stuff if you feel kind enough to return the favor. I'd really love input on my latest level, no one has said anything so I don't know how to feel about it.
I tried my hardest to make a level that would fit in at the beginning of a NSMB game.
Please give it a try and tell me how I did.

Quoting this because I'm super confident in my level.
Not difficult, just fun!

With Splatoon and Miiverse, Nintendo has shown they can they are willing to update and introduce new features and content. For a first time around, I think the game is really damn good. Yeah, there is stuff which could be in here and maybe it's even coming as DLC. However, considering when the game was first announced, I think what has actually ended up in the initial retail release is already much more than anyone ever really anticipated.

Ok, first regular level in awhile, since I'm done with making weird ones for now.
Airship Docks
ED20-0000-0039-1C9C
Difficulty wise, it's like a world 6.

Some of the stuff you're complaining about not being Mario enough (the loading guys and some sound effects) are from Mario Paint.
anyone? really looking for some feedback
Haven't beaten it yet, but this is a really neat level. I like the extra touches and the hidden star was fun to find. Nice work!Ok, I spent tons of time on my newest stage, so hopefully some people play it and give comments. It's called Mariovania Stage 1 and as you probably guessed, it's Castlevania 1's (NES version) stage 1. I'm pretty happy about it, had to use lots of imagination to create even somewhat similar stage using Mario-objects and enemies. This stage encourages minor searching on top of some small amount of platforming for secrets and if you're familiar with CV you probably know where to look. Hope you enjoy
Code: C726-0000-0038-4094
i've made a few tricky levels. here's a couple:
Scary House (SMW): 99BD-0000-0036-5331
shows that Ghost Houses are at their scariest when they don't make sense.
Coin Maze (NSMBU): 2E04-0000-0035-CDEC
this one is better if you try to get every coin.
Golden Darkness (SMB): E5FC-0000-0035-580C
a highlight of the darkness caused by Gold.
Undeground Fakeout (SMB): CC07-0000-001E-8B3A
this one is full of fake routes.
Stairway to Heaven (NSMBU): 57FB-0000-0035-1E1E
the road to heaven... or hell.

played your level and it felt like straight out of World 1 of a NSMB game, good work. I only had problem to get of a platfrom on the rails, because there wasn't enough space between the platform and the wall to come off.
Otherwise I had a good time and a good flow. Are there more than two secret rooms?

I thought it'd be too easy when making it. I guess it's easier when you know what's coming. It only has a few dry bones, bomb ombs, thwomps, and king koopas.

It's not a bad game. I don't regret my full-price purchase, just like I didn't regret buying LBP on day one. But it's missing a lot of little options that could've provided the game with significantly more variety. Stuff like changing the color of pipes, sloped ground, a few more powerups, more backgrounds, and so forth.
I don't believe Nintendo announced plans for DLC, did they? I certainly hope DLC is on the way, but we'll have to wait and see. DLC in Mario Kart 8 is the highest-quality and best-valued DLC of the entire generation so far (IMO), so I know they can pull it off. They just have to.... do it.
Ah, gotcha. I didn't realize that. It still annoys me, for what it's worth, but that's a neat nod to people who played Mario Paint I suppose.

Crazy thing is that I'm now at 2 medals and the main star provider for me are my 2 trollish levels...
Love the miiverse reactions though.

I have none
Thought My first level was a mess around, and I just uploaded my second level that had more thought into it
You never played Mario Paint, I take it
Yeah, the game community is odd. Troll/Meme level? 100+ stars!

Played it. It was alright.
It just sort of felt like a mishmash of things though. I wish there was a little more structure to it.

So far, an additional costume has been announced (Nekki the Fox), and Takashi Tezuka has hinted at a forthcoming music editor. It seems safe to assume that there is a plan for expansion content.
Thanks, I'm glad to hear that.
You had trouble getting off the platform? Whatcha mean by that?
And, no there's only two secret rooms.
I'd really like to get some feedback about this level I just published:
The Cube: 9 Rooms, 9 Challenges
(36A3-0000-0038-EC1B)
This screen is giving me heavy Kid Icarus vibes. Looks like a room in one of the fortress levels.

I think some of it may be that when you comment on a level it automatically stars it, which I think is stupid. Should be able to just leave general comments and stuff haha. (or negative ratings!)
Yeah this bothers me, I want to leave constructive criticism of why I didn't like it, and not give a star
I believe you can if you comment from the comment button in the played courses section of your profile.

If you want to leave a comment without giving a star, don't use the button when you beat the level and instead find it in the list of played levels. There you can comment and it won't star it.

So how is this for an easter egg?:
A kind miiverse comment tells me it is hold down and mash A+B. I assuming during level loading (as that is when I triggered it).
Sorry Mega Mario I need not have purchased you
I think the game filters based on completion rate (it could go on other factors too) so an expert level is one with really low completion rate. In other words it is the hell that troll levels go to die in. I've not done much in that mode to verify though.
A perfect example of design stupidity in this game. Especially when the manual is all leave useful feedback even if it is negative (but be like "the x section was a bit long" or "add some platforms to y section" rather than "this game stinks"
Unless it is an Earthbound level of course[/spoier]) I wopnder how many bad levels have gotten stars from this.

In "Old School Super Mario (1/4)", I didn't want to make a trap jump, in fact, I changed the platforms + coins emplacements many times to avoid it. I haven't unlocked much tools back then, if I could have, I've had made cloud blocks. When I tested it before publication I never ran into the blocks, but retesting it (and watching player death data), I see it's still possible to be trolled, and it's unacceptable.
For the koopa alignment, the game is really irritating when it comes to enemies appearing. Sometimes enemies just aren't there when you go to an area, or they're not in synch. I understand it depends on user behaviour since enemies "appear" when you get close enough, but I lost a lot in online stages because Piranha Plants take ages to appear (I've been careful to announce them in my level to avoid this). Anyway, I see that section is not in line with the rest thanks to your feedback, and thanks to death data.
I solved those problems, the level has been updated:
As for "y cant metroid shoot?"... obviously people don't enjoy dealing with Bloopers the way I do. I didn't have a problem with this section because I took the time to carefully lure them to the higher platforms to the left, but I broke a Super Mario rule: always giving the player different ways to complete a level - people shouldn't have to follow a specific strategy. Since this level stands a lot on atmosphere, I edited the difficulty (while still being challenging) for it to be more "direct": I removed some repetition and added platforms so it's quicker and easier to deal with enemies.
Updated, flows much better now:
As for "?" mushroom in blocks, though, it's intentional: I wanted to make clear from the start that all blocks contain power suits, like a number of lives. I made it even clearer (and added some extra "energy tanks") in my update.
Anyway, your feedback has been extremely valuable, thank you.
Nope, I don't even own a smartphone
I really like NSMB games (mostly the non DS ones), but NSMB on SMM is pretty terrible. Choppy enemy animation (they're 2D models I guess), horrible filling patterns (large ground areas in the underground settings look terrible), and horizontal pipes next to the ground in the plain settings not even entering the ground - you can see the sky between the ground and the pipe. It all looks so botched up.
Indeed, thank God for the skipping option.
They're all in the 10 Mario Challenge, and after playing them you can load them in the editor. They're really not that good or interesting, they're concepts more than levels.
I tried like 20 times, I just can't get through your main blooper hallway. I'd trade all those samus suits for 1 fire flower. Mario just isn't as agile or shooty as Samus. Though Im not real patient which may be my issue.
I'll try it out when I get home tonight. Copied down the code to be safe (this and the Hindenbowser one posted above). Looking forward to them!

For whatever reason each time another giant boo buddy wheel dropped in I just had the biggest grin.Well, with my gamepad being out for repairs I obviously have little to share (apparently I can't even start the dang game without the pad, bah). That's why I'd like to post a pretty neat stage my friend made instead:
Boo buddy marathon
ABBF-0000-0015-A688
Super Mario Maker lacks the option of having a buttload of Boos roam around the ceiling and whatnot, but this stage gets pretty close to having the same feeling. Also it has a SMW style bonus room and those are always cool.
He has a couple more on his profile. Lotta DKC inspired stages. None too hard with lots of bonus rooms. Dude sure loves his bonus rooms.
Also the Megaman 4 - Cossack 3 stage remake is totally my doing
Maybe it's because just the other day I was wishing Boohemoth from NSMB2 was in more games and this is close enough.
(I have no idea what that movie is), it was a fun stage though with a neat concept. Found the 1 up in the wiggler room.I'd really like to get some feedback about this level I just published:
The Cube: 9 Rooms, 9 Challenges
(36A3-0000-0038-EC1B)
It's loosely inspired by the movie The Cube, and features nine 1-screen rooms arranged in a 3x3 square with different traps inside.
I wanted to make a puzzley level with small, self-contained rooms, and experiment with backtracking and permanent changes to the environment. Which proved itself to be quite the challenge.
Not all rooms are mandatory to complete, some lead to the three 1up mushrooms hidden around, and one features an optional puzzle whose completion can make your life a bit easier later on.
MrBadger is a man who makes good use of sublevels.
I've played many good courses today, great going GAF.

Yeah. It's a great CRT filter. I wish I didn't have to toggle it for every level though..
I enjoyed it. Found the secret pathway!
Maybe a bit too easy if you go the secret way. But I liked it.
Wanna try mine? 5659-0000-0038-DEF5
Thanks, I'm glad to hear that.
You had trouble getting off the platform? Whatcha mean by that?
And, no there's only two secret rooms.
in the middle of the level, where the ground is hold by the roots. The last moving platform has an ?-Block underneath it, in the bottom right corner. I couldn't just run from the platform to the block, had to wait until it moved down enough. No major flaw, but my mostly great flow in your level was interrupted by just standing and waiting there. If there was a tile of space I could have just ran down to use the ?-block.
Ok, then I found both alone from my instinct
the pipe to the second secret room is the only one even tried to go down
exiting the second secret room and you don't grab the star

Just for reference on my trollish levels.
Biggest waste of time ever MAX!!
Biggest waste of time ever!
If someone was gonna make these levels, better be me doing it first lol.

yea it is a mish mash. like i said im still unlocking things
just wanna test things out and make a "real" or "complete" level when everything unlocks. just wanna get some experience before i dive in though
Okay so after my Arwing level, I decided to revise my Dk's Jungle Climb level and have finished Dk's Jungle Climb 2.0. I put a lot of thought into how to activate ? blocks. Check it out and let me know what you think!
FE8E-0000-0039-43CC
Edit: Should mention this course is on the easier side of things (as all of my courses are after horrible completion %'s on my first few levels)

So i really liked the idea of the spin jump in SMW but was disappointed that i didn't use it too much in my previous level, this should make up for it
Concept is simple and the beginning is a nice tutorial area to understand and mess up a bit on the spin jump, would appreciate feedback

My newest creation. Went with the SMB3 Haunted Mansion style. I'd say it's pretty similar to what you would find in a regular Mario game with a few twists. It's also pretty fair difficulty wise.
Let me know what you think!
Not bad. I had to replay because I accidentally kicked the P switch at the end into the abyss and although I reran through the course, it didn't respawn.
I liked the spinning platforms iwth the ghost coming after you. Good mechanic
Heh, guess I can see the resemblanceThis screen is giving me heavy Kid Icarus vibes. Looks like a room in one of the fortress levels.
Thanks!
played both your levels. I really like the level design, but some junmps were a little bit unfair
finished neither one, sorry

So I've been watching a lot of gameplay of user generated levels, are there any Mario levels?
I see a ton of people making these metroid style levels, or these crazy complex maze like levels, or these levels that are just designed to be super tough, but none of them look (in the level design) or play like a Mario level. Is this mostly what is out there? I mean someone of it looks kind of cool, but I thought people would use this game to make great Mario levels not just, lets make the craziest thing I can think of that thats almost impossible to beat!
