Not a fan of the official ones, honestly. Lots of wasted space, and just the map layout without a preview or screenshot is not always the best way to present a level.
Put together a new level finally. I've played around with this gimmick before but I've never really been happy with the progress and have just scrapped previous attempts, but finally it all clicked. Amusingly part of it was switching theme. Originally it was a SMW grass level but switching it to NSMB castle seemed to suit it better. As a bonus this marks my first proper castle as well so now I finally can be the final level of someone's 100 Mario run.
Cling 'n' Climb Castle
Grab a vine and travel along the rails avoiding the obstacles. (Think SMW's cheese bridge) There are the usual three 1-ups.
I see this as about a midway game level. So not too difficult but not a complete walk through the park. Of course by the end of it I could easily beat it without a single hit, but that's because I knew the perfect route. Hopefully I managed to keep a nice balance despite that since it's so easy to think something is too easy after you've playing is a zillion times.
The Big Short
Wanted to try my hand at a thumbnail level. There's only 30 seconds on the clock to beat this one!
Too much trial/error gameplay for me
Several situations that seem very difficult to get through on a first attempt. But I did find some pleasure in beating it so there's that!I present Volcano Peak. I wanted to try a theme we mostly haven't seen much of (I've only seen 1 other one) and I think I did a decent job in presenting the idea. This is a medium difficulty level with a large focus on fire and flame enemies and obstacles. There are a few tricky parts but I mostly think it's manageable. Looking for as much feedback a possible as I try to shake the rust off. Let me know what you think
It's been a while since I've been here. Finally have a new level up.

Give it a whirl, let me know what you think, and send me a bookmark for a course of yours!
I have a request: I spent a fair amount of time making a couple levels that haven't seen many players.
The first is a level with no enemies, just hazards, pits, and platforms. It has 0 clears I think it's pretty fair but obviously I made it so who knows. I'm real interested on feedback for this one.
Pure Platforms No Enemies
And the other I posted here but my timing may have been off. It's a Shoot 'Em Up styled level that hopefully teaches you everything you need to know about the shooting Clown Car.
Charge! Shoot the Core!
Yesterday, after a very long time, I made a new level.
The First Second Of Eternity
It's based on a recent episode of Doctor Who, "Heaven Sent" from series 9 (2015), whose basic concept seemed quite gamey to me. So, if you haven't watched it, beware: this level contains significant spoilers for the episode.
My latest: Yoshi Island's Mushroom Peaks!
I had an idea for a little element in a level made possible by the latest update and I decided to build a level that would suit it. I figured I haven't given Yoshi enough love, and I also wanted to challenge myself, trying to make a level that was fun but much easier than my usual fare. I'd like to think I succeeded, but of course that's for you guys to decide! It's only got one playthrough, but I'm hoping I hit something like a 40% rate on this one. Let's see how I do.
Since a lot of you are new to the game post-Christmas, if you're looking for a level that's a bit tougher, my level Bounce on Big Bob-omb! is one I'm very proud of that went up months ago, so maybe give that a try.
Just wanted to repost my level now that the bookmark finally is finally on the website.

Reading this I should be glad for my All Aboard the Wiggle-mobile! record being unsurpassed.
First level I made with the initial avaliable tools, hope you guys can give some feedback

Glad you enjoyed it. When I build a level I always try to make it look visually appealing and unique but I try to never sacrafice playability. I had this level sitting on the burner unfinished for a month because I couldn't figure out what to do with it. So the fact that you thought it played well feels good. I wasn't sure how the volcano climb was gonna go over. Lotta Xs all around the very first volcano in the level.
My first serious attempt at a thematic (costume) level, starring Blathers from Animal Crossing. The level is called Blathers' Fossil Quest and I aimed for an easy to medium difficulty, make everything look cave-like with contraptions that provide you with items and there's a region in the center through which you go three times a la Yoshi's Island.

A fun little level, I was actually really surprised to see the finish. I didn't know it was so short!
Very fun level! However, I found a little thing that can make it impossible to move forward (luckily it's right next to the flag so you can kill yourself and continue). After hitting the p-switch that you access with the red turtle, you kind of have to jump up quickly because the green turtle shell is still bouncing around below. I jumped up quickly to get to the vine but accidentally landed in front of the door by the vine and hit up trying to get the vine. I went through the door and then didn't have time to go through the coins before they turned back to blocks. Like I said, I guess that's not too bad since the flag is right there. Love the detailed environment in the level.
I'm usually a big fan of your levels, but to be honest I didn't like this one a lot.Let me leave bookmark link to my level in case anyone else wants to play it:
Recycle Ruins Rhapsody!

Today I played through your levels, and found each better than the previous one (nice progression there). This was probably my favorite overall, with the secrets in the outdoors part being its main highlight. Good stuff.
Nice work! Small but neither impossibly hard, nor relying on exploiting obscure godforsaken mechanics (like most thumbnail levels I've played). I'd play more levels like this.

Liked it a lot! Lengthy, interesting and never cheap. Suggested play.
This level has been on the backburner for a while but I decided to finally upload it as is. Tell me what you think.
I thought this was pretty fun. There were some parts that did throw a lot at you, but it's not too hard to avoid hits if you go patiently. The boss room was a bit underwhelming and the final thwomp seemed out of place. Overall, though, it looked great and played well.This level has been on the backburner for a while but I decided to finally upload it as is. Tell me what you think.
