I renamed it, guessing the name of the level did it "You must kill Yoshi." I mean that's the whole point of the level.

Well anything with Kill and Mario character in the same level name is going to ruffle someone.
 
I just did your level and really liked it. The way you get the fire flower was awesome, that room was really well designed. The only problem I see is, when you get the third 1-UP
with the door
, you get a goomba rain that felt a bit cheap to me (although this is not your fault).

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated! I know what you mean with the Goombas, but King Whomp needs his minions 😊 Might look to change it a little. Thanks again.
 
Doesn't work like that, as the orders just appear when you use the editor for five minutes. Just play with the editor for five minutes, and when you get a notice for a delivery the other day, spam the place with blocks.

Also, play GAF levels. There are plenty here that are super good. The community showcase in the first page is a good place to start.
I've used the editor for hours at this point, i've gotten one set of new items unlocked.

Don't think I will be recommending the game to anyone, tbh. Guess my expectations were too high.

Just played both your levels. The second one was excellent. Managed to get through on my second life, and even then hadn't explored all of the rooms. I died in the room with the
spinning fire balls. Some fire popped up out of no-where and hit me on my way through, which felt a little cheap haha.
Thought the design for everything else was excellent though. My favourite room was the one with the
giant drybones.
Really interesting stage!
Thanks! About the spoiler,
really wish you could set its timing so it would show up sooner.

By the way, the bob-omb in this screenshot:

...is a lot more useful than it may seem at first. Especially to take care of something big located two rooms down.

If you see a message saying what will be available soon, just find a blank spot and go nuts with blocks until it arrives. That and don't hesitate to use what is available to you. You might come up with something pretty fresh when working within limitations.
 
I played and starred it. It was fun.

The part with the spring and moving question mark block on a track was difficult because the screen wouldn't scroll up to the question mark block so it spent most of the time off screen. The P-switch inside the block got stuck on top of the block when it popped out, so I couldn't see it up there and had to bounce high and grab it as it went by. If that track moved lower, it'd have been great. Not sure if you have the room on the screen to do that though.

Thanks. Will see what I can do re: The track. I ran out of vertical space and it was UK early hours so needed to get to bed (this game!). Thanks for the feedback.

After I finish up my 1-4 stage, I think I might have to force myself to get back to the other releases this month (Mad Max, Until Dawn, and MGSV) because its draining all my gaming time lol.

Here's my newest level:

WVW69iY4Mp4cFcRASz


Title: There and Back Again
Difficulty: Medium
Description: This time I took a concept I had (Get a shell and bring it back to progress) and started it off really easy and made it more and more difficult as it goes on, but I tried to still keep the difficulty reasonable. I also provide a mushroom every couple of rooms.
Secrets: There's a hidden pipe that leads to a secret area.
Code: 6407-0000-003A-E574

Let me know what you think!

The Mushroom breaks the level, as you can just spin jump through the pipes. Either do Mario 3, or if you stick with SMW and want to provide something to allow Mario to tank a shot, you'd have to use Yoshi or Beetle Helmet.

I kid, I kid. Thanks for doing this though, it was fun seeing the levels in motion. Would love for you to make it a series.



Yeah. Each path is pretty short, dunno if it was the right call to have 5 different paths instead of having fewer, more fleshed out ones. Which path did you take?

Thanks for playing them by the way. I'll give your course a run through in return as well. :)



That was pretty fun! I'm assuming there are 4 different secret rooms? I was only able to find 2. Presentation is really great here. Felt just like a Mario airship level minus the autoscrolling, which was also nice. Gives you the time to take it all in without the frantic rush.

Embarrassed to admit that I died near the end thinking that clouds lead to another secret area and not the goal.

Thanks for your words,

I could do a series and working on Part 2 currently. Do people like to see a 30min or hour long show next time?

Just finished up this level tonight:

Through Koopa Mountain
8F02-0000-003B-4E1B
WVW69iY42OQbgNAMoA


It's a pretty claustrophobic romp that started off as my attempt at creating a vertical styled level, though it ultimately became a little different. There's three 1Up's through out the level, though I just realized you will only get 2 unless you do some actual back tracking and slight exploring. My bad.

I think I'm going to take a break from making levels over the next few days and focus on playing some now (when I'm not at work or at university).

Bump for a new day...

I made a new level and I'm really quite pleased with it. It's a fair bit easier than my first one and as you'll see, it's heavily inspired by Super Mario 64's Tiny-Huge Island. Give it a go and let me know what you think, please!

Escape From BigSmall Castle

My 1st level again, as well. For those who like a tough but fair challenge...

Tried my hand at making a proper Super Mario Bros. 3 course that felt like it could *maybe* fit in with the real game. I think it turned out fairly well. Feel free to give it a whirl and let me know. Always appreciate my fellow GAF'ers feedback.

I just made a quick level, its nothing fancy but I think it's pretty fun. I haven't unlocked everything yet, so I did with what I had available to me.

There's a couple of different ways of doing it, I hope someone will give it a go.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Everything about this looks glorious, to the point that I don't know if I can wait to see if they make a 3DS version. I really could see buying a Wii U only for this.

But can you technically, for example, recreate the entire original game in this? I'm just wondering if there are limitations that hold you back from a hypothetical goal like that.

No, when it comes to scripting things your options are extremely limited. There basically are no options except the predefined pieces and units -- So the editor is about thinking creatively how to use those things.

Think more along the lines of a little playground. If you're clever you can make cool stuff, but it is limited.

I guess I'm having a hard time visualizing the scripting thing...could you give me an example of a point in the original game that this couldn't reproduce? Maybe I'll picture it better then...

You can recreate a lot of the first game, but you'd have to fudge it with some things. For example, I can't perfectly recreate 1-2 because it doesn't have the elevator platforms that keep falling through the bottom of the screen right before the warp pipe at the end, you can't make the secret warps because you can't make something that warps to another level, and you can't have the stage end on an outside area with a castle because you can't move the goal out of the main area. You also can't have more than 1 sub area, so you can't have a warp to the outside at the end if you made the secret area in the middle of the stage anyway.

Also you can't create seamless looping areas and hammer bowsers
Ah, I see now. Actually these aren't real problems since I only was thinking about a theoretical 1:1 of the original just to see how far you could push this. Seems like it it's meaty enough to make some amazing stuff. Like for instance, I was worried since the last time I paid attention to this, it seemed like levels couldn't be as long as I wanted them to be.

Made a level very reminiscent of Dimentios' Sunken Airship: Castle Siege!

Give it a try; all feedbacks are more than welcome

The Waluigi Parable is a 2D exploration based side-scroller. You will play as Waluigi, and you will not play as Waluigi. You will follow a story, you will not follow a story. You will have a choice, you will have no choice. The game will end, the game will never end.
Wahhh.

Wahhh!

One question, can you segment the sub world so that you can enter the different segments from separate pipes in the main stage? So you get the illusion of separate sub world screens?

Got my 50 Star medal this morning. Thanks guys for playing my levels :)

If you haven't played them yet, here they are

First is called Run, duck, stop! Hammer Time!

Second: Worms, Wires and trapped Bowser
65DA-000-0030-CE45
WVW69iYkuBgbELA3EZ


And my latest: Leading A Bowser To Slaughter
21CA-0000-0036-2C35
WVW69iYu8tMTiV4pyk


Got a cool idea for my fourth (and final for a week or so...bloody Super Mystery Dungeon) that I'll try to get done today. It will require a lot of testing for me to get right, unlike the previous ones, though.
 
Just finished up a new level. Just like my other level, this one is setup in the same 4 act structure that Miyamoto used to design levels.

Please give feedback and maybe a star :)

It's called "You Dodged A Bullet There Pal"

Actually watching the top streamer right now. Seems they'll have speed running races every monday using user submitted levels.

One thing I haven't been able to figure out is if this has gravity reversal. Like those panels you walk in front of and suddenly the gravity flips. Not even sure if that was something from 2d or 3d mario side-scrolling sections but thought I'd ask. Thanks!

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

Haha, yeah that happened to me too while playtesting but I wanted to keep the mystery alive so people keep wondering what's in the Coin Block. If I replaced it with a pipe it would have been too obvious.
Thanks for playing! I'm getting closer and closer to 50 Stars. Might hit that milestone tonight.

I'd just like to repost my two newest courses. Last I posted them it would have been very early in the morning in America and surrounding countries, so not many people have played them.

Spooky Scary Ghosty Mansion

(6CFC-0000-0035-F1BE)

WVW69iYuXVEx3G7D-L


Airship Jump

(A522-0000-0035-4159)

WVW69iYsy4YVyPhDnH


They're both pretty fun, in my opinion, and I spent a lot of time working on them, have fun guys and be sure to tell me any constructive criticism you have.

I decided to try my hand at a single screen level, and ended up taking inspiration from 1001 Spikes. Hopefully it's not too difficult. I can beat it pretty easily and well within the 100 second time limit.

Just Keep Running
56F2-0000-003B-6A18


A fun little level I just finished where, like the name suggests, all you need to do is to just keep running to avoid the danger! And as long as you start running as soon as the level starts, the music is synced with the various contraptions found throughout the course.

It took me quite a long time to get everything synced up to the music and to make sure all the obstacles work correctly, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it!

Bowser's Labyrinth (031F-0000-003B-68E9)

This one took quite a bit of effort. It's a non-cheap expert level and is quite long.
Hope you enjoy it!
Feedbacks and stars are appreciated! :)
