I don't know much about how codes work, but I assume the -0000- that appears in every code amounts to a version # ID or something, right? -0000- is only the base release, but whenever DLC or expansion or patch comes out that could cause a discrepancy or incompatibility, courses will be -0AB7- or something to signal that. Is that the general consensus?

Grab a bunch of the levels in this thread and you'll be busy even without making your own stuff.
Oh! They all look quite nice in those previews, will try them later.I've been working on a lot of visually appealing "themed" levels. Here they are if you want to try em!

Flight of the Thwomps
(DC36-0000-0048-1D16)
A short SMB3 level I whipped up around the concept of winged thwomps, I like to think it's not as terrifying as it may sound so give it a shake.
I got the idea when I played AniHawk's Kuribo's shoe focused stage, "wait, you can stand on them with this?"

Since part of the appeal is shells doing rube goldberg stuff, try to keep the shell in the player's sight in the second puzzle. If you walk into the trampoline area at the spiny hat section before getting the spiny hat, it can be pretty hard to get back out, and I don't think the wall jumps you have to make there are very fun. The way Mario keeps losing his grip on the wall makes it feel janky. On the shell surfing section I couldn't read what the coins spelled out fast enough since I ended up collecting them while standing on the shell. Thought it said "hold B". At the part with the thwomps, the reward is a spring to reach the next area, but I think a lot of players might bring one of the springs from the previous sections with them since you don't need it for the second to last jump before the skull platform. Since I was holding the run button and not down, the surfing section actually ended with the spring already in my hands.Uploaded my first course. It's more of an experimental course. Not challenging and tried to make it fun. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Hope you don't mind all the criticisms. lol. I still enjoyed the level, there are just a lot of little things that could be polished up pretty easily, though as you said this is an experimental level.
I'm a little ashamed of how many times I died on such an easy level, lol. It was good, although I think it might benefit from being just a little longer, if you could fit one more idea in there. From the preview I see it's already the max course size though...Flight of the Thwomps

I didn't take an adequate screen shot, but:
"The Contestant"
D223-0000-0048-0FC6
Done in SMB style. You won't see it directly in the course but this was inspired by random thoughts of The Hunger Games, and Gymkata. I originally wanted to make a Maze of Death but I was afraid of running out of blocks so I made it a bit of a gauntlet instead.

Time to share a few things...
I've been fooling around with interesting/odd mechanics -- most of these levels try to make use of some interesting idea/trick. I'm working on two or three others centered around "fun quirks" -- but I need to determine which of my old levels to delete. (That, or get 50 stars, but I digress.)
My most popular level is "Don't Push the Button" -- if you want "real Mario stuff," I'd suggest trying "Parallel Plumbing" (7D2E-0000-002C-7B17) or "Run (or is there another way?)" (E108-0000-0027-4CEE).
Liquid Space (626B-0000-0040-6641)
Fly and shoot -- blast your way through!
(I discovered that flying Kuribo boots have a nice feel underwater -- and I tried to turn that into a shooter. I'm not totally happy with the results, but I do like the "feel" of the movement.)
After my earliest attempts failed to get any traction, I noticed that "auto" levels were all the rage. I rather dislike them, but I -do- like the concept of novelty levels... so I tried my hand at a few novelty stages that are, hopefully, somewhat fun.
Don't Fall Behind (434F-0000-0035-419F)
Don't let the giant shell get away!
Don't Push the Button (F877-0000-002C-EE1D)
Don't push the button. Seriously. Just don't.
(This one is fun -- mainly because the button just sits there, mocking you. Go ahead -- pass it in a 100 Mario competition -- don't you wish you know what you missed?)
Don't Go Through the Door (4DB4-0000-002A-51BB)
I made this before Don't Push the Button. I think Button is more refined, but this is fun too. Think of this as an inversion of the auto-complete levels.
Parallel Plumbing (7D2E-0000-002C-7B17)
My attempt at simple exploration level...starting with a fun wave of destruction. Sadly, it looks like most players get stuck on STARTING the destruction.
Run (or is there another way?) (E108-0000-0027-4CEE)
Run like crazy and don't die. Trust me.
(There MIGHT be a secret alternate method, but you'll need to be careful and quick to find it.)
Take Float! (7EB4-0000-001F-7062)
My first attempt at a shooter stage -- it might be too tough, though. Liquid Space is probably better.
Bob-Omb Madness (E1E5-0000-001D-F02B)
Bob-Ombs are your pals. Let them blast a path for you!
(I wanted to make a destructive level -- I think it needs more stuff, but I find it neat.)
Let's Go to the Hop (C6CA-0000-001D-8183)
I like Kuribo's Boot. Don't you?
(Okay, this was an early level -- it might be too demanding, but hey -- BOOT!)
Mega Leap (BD05-0000-0019-B59A)
My first level -- somewhat Mega Man 2 inspired, if Mega Man had no weapons at all. It seems like most folks aren't fans of this at all ... I should probably revisit it.

I was -really- trying to figure out how to create a perfect lingering death trap -- one in which the player is doomed, but they can attempt to keep alive for a bit. I had no clue to how easily and sneakily "lock off" the exits -- but those Bullet Bill canons make EXCELLENT trap doors.

I played through your stage, I made sure Yoshi got through!
Finally got my hands on a copy of this!
I do have a question though: Is there any reason why the unlockable content is still being released to me on a daily basis? I thought there was a patch to change that... (it appears that I have version 1.01). Is there something I am doing wrong? I haven't been able to figure it out so I have been painstakingly changing the date every 15 minutes.

Yeah this has me worried too. I want to do a more complex version of this concept, but if so many people are failing on this one it's scary to think how people would take to a more complex version.

It'll still say because of the original 9-day rollout intention, but basically what I did was paste every available item once (to make the "new" exclamation mark" go away) and then spam the entire level with blocks and they should start showing up.

Not bad, but the stars feel kinda excessive. There isn't anything hard in the level and so having a sudden burst of power feels hollow and empty. If the level threw difficult challenges at you, and then let your star through them afterwards or in someway played with the players desire to kill everything whenever nether get a starman, I think would greatly improve it.
Still I can see there was some effort and thought put into enemy placements and after finishing a round of the 100 Mario this was a nice pallet cleanser.

Sorry I don't have a screenshot, but here's a level I spent the last few days on:
Tricky Track
E7E5-0000-0048-3118
The entirety of the level is based around a single moving platform. I wanted to come up with various unique obstacles that each posed a different challenge. It's tricky, but I tried to make it perfectly doable, and even threw in a couple of mushrooms rather than punishing any mistake with an insta-death.
I'm very happy with how it turned out, but I'd really like to hear what some of you think. Constructive criticism is definitely welcone! I'd be more than happy to try out any of your levels and give feedback in exchange!

These look really cool in the preview, I'll be checking them out later! Your style look similar to the kind of themed levels I'm interested in making once I have more time to play around with the creator.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Well, what I meant is there's quite a few enemies from the other games who are absent in NSMBU that I think influenced them being left out---Rex, Ninji, and Chuck being what springs to mind.
But to be fair, I think Nintendo also consider which enemies played different, and went with a decent set for variety---still though I think with that in mind there are a few other choices. Swooper, since we don't have any enemy that would swoop down from the roof like that, Pokey, for a really tall "impassable" enemy, Fuzzy, (the saws kind of do what he does, but his absence is odd---he'd be easy to make sprites for the games he wasn't in, and one of the SFX buttons look like him), Eerie for an enemy that flies in a straight line through the air...
I don't think the 3D World Model could easily be transferred into the 2D games?

Believe me, I wanted to but yeah I hit the max.
I could've used a sub area but I figured I'd just let this one retain its SMB3 style stage length.
Cheers for playing it, I hope you noticed the reduction in coins this time around, that's your influence in play.

I barely use half the available space in my level. Most are shortish, medium difficulty with multiple paths
lol, definitely.
For some reason this course isn't showing up in your "Uploaded Courses" page for me. Wonder what's up with that. Anyway I was catching up on some of your other courses and they're all great. I especially liked Spiketop Stronghold Scamper, everything was very well timed and balanced for a tense, satisfying escape.

Ever since this game was announced, I didn't expect to be creating levels myself; it was the thought of playing countless other player levels that appealed to me. But now that I have it, I'm loving working on levels myself. The editor is just so fun and easy to use.
I agree about the stars. I wanted to create more of a challenge to give the stars more weight and to make them more fun, but I struggled to make something work. Either way, thanks for playing and for the feedback!

My wife wants to know if you all like her level. I think it's fun.
Not bad, not bad at all. It was a little chaotic and random, but that p switch bridge section was brilliant, take a simple platforming section and force me to rush it, loved it.
...could use a free mushroom.

Do all levels get featured in the 100 Mario challenge at one point or another? And how do they determine the difficulty? I just uploaded my first level ever and it's the first draft of my 1-1 stage submission. Took me forever and I think it's pretty decent, it would make a great level for the beginner 100 Mario challenge. I'm just wondering if a single person will play it if I don't post the code anywhere.
Oh, one more thing. How do you enter text into a level? I'm talking about those little signs where the level designer can add text.
Sorry for posting so many questions, I swear I've also been playing a lot of gaffers' levels and starring them

As far as I'm aware there is no text entry function. The signs I think you're talking about are miiverse replies about the level.
I made smaller loops and for the fireballs beneath platforms, there's one and you see it falling down when approaching, so nothing nasty. I don't want the main path to be too tame in case people don't try to chain koopas. Now that's the real challenge

Can anyone recommend a few "best of GAF" levels so far?
Other than the stuff after the OP?
I think mine are pretty OK. Also just check everything made by the guys whose levels are in the OP, they're skilled dudes so they've made more than one good level. Other than that just go for what's on the page and see what you think.

My first creation. A fairly simple course with a focus on discovery and some neat elements. Not too challenging, designed to be fun.

My best level to date, SMB version of Super Mario Sunshine (including everyone's favorite Star)
Edit: Fixed the SFX: 6B09-0000-0048-7C34
Seemed like there were a few alternate paths in that level, unless I just managed to pick the right one
under the thwomp I found by spin jumping on top of it, all the way down.
Good level that uses the track very well. Felt like the right length of time for such an idea. Having to do too much of the track stuff would get annoying if it got harder or the stage took longer.
Nice work on this. Opening the new paths was fun, though if I hadn't known better, I might have tried to run over the chompers instead of through the thwomps when I got the star. That would've gone badly. Good job placing powerups in appropriate places to keep playing as Samus. Not sure how I feel about the Bowser encounter's use of a hidden block.
Edit: Forgot to say that I did not expect music to happen, but hearing Talon Overworld 2 was pretty awesome.
Played 1, 2, and 3. I died once in 1 because the P switch was still active when I came out of the pipe, tried to make the jump, but the diagonal coins going up blocked me, and I wasn't expecting that for some reason. I liked the special cloud area in 3.
Got stuck in this level where the spiny is supposed to be thrown to the right. Oh. Never mind. I forgot spiny helmets could break those blocks. Fun level.
Made a new level tonight. It's meant to be a level for beginners, with a path that might be fun for veterans to run as well.
Hopped up on Mushrooms (6E71-0000-0047-DF0E)
Haven't had many people finish this one (picture is a bit old). Requires a bit of thought, if you're into that kind of level.
Yoshi braves the Switch House (AE4D-0000-0040-7061)
I've got a bunch of other levels too of varying difficulty. Mostly SMB3 and SMB.

So I ended up accidentally backtracking the entire level because of the cannonballs. Jumped right into the area with the door.

I'll be streaming user-submitted levels again at about 10PM Eastern (one hour from now). Post a code for a level and I'll stream it. One code per GAFfer. It can be for your stage or someone else's stage of your choice. Just quote this post with the code so that I can easily see it. First come, first served.
In the meantime, you could also give my first stage a try. I hope to have a second stage designed by sometime late tonight, but it still needs a bit more fleshing out.

Oh damn, haven't checked the OP so thanks! Not that I'm averse to giving everyone's levels a go. I just want to see what sort of cream has risen to the top in the first week here.
Oh, just discovered an unusual combo of blocks. I have no idea how this might be useful, since I can't see a way to communicate this to players, but Burners are NOT blocks. When you place a Burner, it will place on top of the block beneath it, but NOT overwrite it.
Now what can you do with this? Well, the burner block will inherit the properties of the block it's on. So, if you place it on a Spike Trap, it will be harmful to touch, which is a jerk move since that is not a common use of them. But perhaps more interestingly, you can place it on top of a ?-Block and hide items in a Burner. Anything that goes in a ?-Block will work since it IS a ?-Block. Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, Vines, Giant Flying Bowsers, you name it. And if you use a Note Block, you should be able to trigger it from above, too. And basically trip Mario if he's running across it.
I am not entirely sure how this will be useful, but it's a weird thing I thought I'd share. Use it for good (or trolling) as you see fit.

If you really hate ghost houses, you might want to do this one instead.
Non-canon Cannon Ship (0031-0000-0016-9AC4)
Liked this a lot, though you'd probably be pretty screwed on that blue platform you wait too long on the bullet bills while spinies spawn. Maybe could've standed to be a bit shorter, but it all felt quite fair. Most of my deaths were after my first death, when I was in a hurry to get back to where I died in the first place.
Quite a few multiple paths and secret sections. Lead to different endings
