When I pick the game up tomorrow I'm planning on making only normal platforming levels. I really hate the gimmicky levels that just spam random bullshit.

France is famous for street date breaking and the game was already out in Japan.

Even though I don't have the game yet I followed the SMWCollabs for the longest time and I can definitely help set-up and coordinate everything. Seeing some really creative levels on streams makes me think there's potential even with the limited theme set.
Could even be like a monthly challenge or something - levels on only one theme, with only day X objects, puzzle stages, there's a lot of stuff to do.

Well I've given some Gaffer levels a shot...
I think I spent half of the stage carrying a jump pad, it may have become useful!
That one mushroom was a bit off the beaten path.
Ran off the edge chasing the first mushroom, mad skills.
I think this is going to make for a fun community.
I'm ashamed to admit my first death on this stage was in the most obvious trap, curse you instinct!

A nice simple stage to remind me how much I value the air spin and wall jump of NSMB.First level done! Hope you like wall jumps.

That one mushroom was a bit off the beaten path.
A big thanks to the folks who tried my levelsHad a chance to try and enjoy Cheesemeister's, will try and play everyone else's later.
I made another:
Airship Approaching Ahead! - F859-0000-0012-1030

I have the opposite fear: bad level overload. It seems to me there will be lots of:
A) Random junky levels made by kids. this will be 97% of what gets uploaded.
B) CRAZY levels with items or powerups or enemies everywhere - 2%
C) Crazy hard unforgiving pixel perfect levels - .99%
The number of moderate difficulty levels will be few, and fewer still will be fresh level ideas. There is only so much you can do with these tools. Even in LBP where the tools are amazing there is so much junk that rises to the top. My gaming time is a premium, not to be wasted on browsing level catalogs.
I'm guessing the greatly balanced, tuned levels with a fresh idea will be .001% of the levels. Thats a lot of levels, but Nintendo better have some great search tools.

Is there a way to give feedback for online levels?

Yeah, you can make a post about any level.
Ok. GAF should do its part for those who hate insanely hard levels.

Codes? Rly? Why no QR codes Nintendo? You might remember the camera on your controller.
Apparently, all we get is a red-cased game with a softcover booklet.
No special edition amiibo bundle (outside of the one packaged with a wii u console), no cool yellow box, and no hardcover.
Feels bad mate. I'm genuinely sorry we can't get same editions across UK/US etc...
Still, the game is a real gem so worth owning whether it's digital or physical.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Put five dollars on pre-order, but fuuuuck, I think I might go digital...
You can't pre-download this one, can you? If I can get it right at 12 that's about 3 hours to play around with it tonight.

Hmm...I sort of wanted another physical Wii U game, but then I realized perhaps this game would be perfect to have digitally and easily accessible between bouts of other games. I'll think it over---damn this is the worst part about the digital age, instant-gratification.
I wonder, does saving the levels take up a lot of space?
the showcase all kinds of stats which is awesome/terrifying
i must be blind, how do you star a level without starting it? i played yours but forgot to star, so i had to jump back in cause i didn't see any other way to do it

I also had to play yours twice.
I've got a "Preparing for Shipment" and a CC charge but it hasn't shipped yet.
hm, well i guess it makes sense that you can only star during/at the end of a level
anyway, you can view your medals by clicking your mii icon in the upper left and going to 'play info'. more medals = more levels you can upload, woo!

Same here. Status is "Arriving Tomorrow by 8pm," so I guess we'll see what happens.
If I get impatient I'll just buy digital and return Amazon's copy.

What are medals?

SIGH. Not that I would have time to play it today even if I received it right now.
Tomorrow will feel like Christmas.
If i recall correctly, you get medals the more people play your courses, star them and comment in them.

Got an exact recreation of 1-1 on my first 10 Mario run. The twist, one giant goomba at the end....er, whoo?
Neat, star-ed and followed
Funnily enough, my first borring course is getting more stars than my better made second one :lol

Heh, the 10 Mario levels are all the ones that are on the disc, made by Nintendo. A lot of them are simple remixes of their older levels, such as 1-1.

10 Mario-Run is made of local levels to just give you a general sense of what you can do.
E: Beaten.

For sheer novelty value I tried my hand at "what if Owl was having to make an introductory World 1 stage that was perfectly straight?"
In doing so I have new respect for opening worlds in platformers that manage to keep things interesting while maintaining simplistic low difficulty because I was racking my brain to just keep things simple.
Safe to say the result was thoroughly unexciting.

I just ordered the digital version on Amazon. They should send the code fairly quickly, right? Hoping to pre-load it before it unlocks.

Picking this up in a few mintues. Looking forward to playing GAF levels!
I'll attempt my own as well, I guess lol

I ran into the same issue when I was messing with a Gamestop demo of the game. It's surprisingly hard to make a simple yet entertaining level.

Anyone know the cheapest place high street for this tomorrow? (UK/EIRE) Looking for the game only version for like 50 quid.

thanks! you don't show up on the 'people who played this course' list, yet, though. weird.
do you have a level uploaded that i can check out (+ follow you)? hard to keep track of all the courses @.@ should be easier once i've followed you all

I don't get the game until tomorrow, but I believe you can also make comments about a level at specific locations in the level? I think that was displayed on the Treehouse Live at E3.
Ditto. ETA is apparently no later than 8pm tomorrow but I'm starting to get doubtful for whatever reason. I'm itching for this game badly it seems.

Not if you don't like the level.
