Your favourite Super Mario Maker level so far
- Thread starter KooopaKid
- Start date
There are many great levels out there already, but here's one of my favorite makers:
The Wooden Tower
0B1E-0000-0014-ECE0
Mario has to descend a tower. No spectacular gimmicks, just a really really well done stage with perfect difficulty and nice visuals.
[Edit]
I'll put this as a runner-up then if it's alright:
A Mario Between Worlds
F3CA-0000-0061-30C9
Brilliant take on the "change between two different versions of the same stage" formula.
(Check out their other stuff too!)

The OT is a chaos of self promotion. It's very difficult to find the levels that are really exceptionally great.

I like this idea OP, the OT (while really good) is too chaotic and I wish the OP dedicated more levels to the Community Highlight (I already went through the list... 8( )
Here is my current favorite level:

It's well deserved. My wife and I loved it the other night! Keep up the good work, we've got you followed.

Superb level desing and incredible skills, thanks.
This is nothing short of insane. I couldn't clear that stage in a million years.
Damn!
This is the most insane level I've seen yet oh my goodness.
Way too many Super Mario Maker threads get closed by the mod. So we just kinda keep it at the OT now.
Yup. Kind of why I stopped going there.
all those images, codes and shit literally every post is overwhelming
I take it back, it probably is a good idea to have a thread like this. Accept my apologies. Will subscribe so i can try some of the levels when I get home from work.

i don't understand why people make levels where you need to take damage to advance. It's so counterintuitive.

I don't even know if I could only pick one. Gaf created so much amazing shit.

What in the blue blazes at the yoshi part lol
Yooooo what the hell...
He throws the bomb juggles it with yoshi, licks the fire, breathes the fire then jumps off yoshi and catches the bomb shortly after is mind blowing
That's so damn technical
Do we really need a thread for people to post codes to their favorite Mario Maker levels when there's already a thread for people to post codes to their favorite Mario Maker levels?
I don't personally mind it since that's full of people posting their own levels. I plan on going through this thread this evening now
Much like the game itself, that thread has some filtering / quality issues, naturally. Though I haven't checked in to see if the OP's started highlighting levels over there
Yes we do, in that thread people only post their own levels. It's a mess.
As I said earlier :
This thread is for the absolute best of the best and include levels from outside of GAF as well. The main thread consists of 70% of people posting their own levels. We need a separate thread not for self-promotion.
I played a featured one this morning that was stellar, probably the most "Mario-like" level I've seen so far.
Boooombastic!

Doesn't try to blow your mind, doesn't pile on elements, isn't more concerned with aesthetic than pace; it's a genuinely good time.
EDIT: I think it'd be nice if there was some more comprehensive aggregation going on with submissions in the OT, though. The fact that most levels are overlooked and users are compelled to re-post their stuff is amplifying the noise level.
Also, we don't need a companion thesis for your course. Let the work speak for itself.

Yes very well designed indeed.

Thanks for this thread OP, much needed from the cluster fuck that is the OT. Wondering if anybody has found some blogs or features done by the regular outlets showing off the best they've found. Would be nice to find an ongoing "top ten of the week" deal somewhere.
Incredible skills, yes
Not suberb level design.
You only need to discover that you need to keep the bomb after you already died 5 times.
If you fail the yoshi part you are stuck in a place that you can't die.
It has TONS of design problems.

A level based on frogger and its pure genius. You play as skippy and have to drop down avoiding enemies that rotate in between the drops like cars. When you beat the first level, you warp pipe to the second level which gets harder.
D'aw thanks! I really love all the Gaf levels I play, it's near impossible to chose a favorite. I think I played an automatic Mario Kart level that had you on a shell racing other shells. I normally shun such stages as not real levels... but it was just so masterfully orchestrated I had to star it. It's one of the most popular stages, I believe.
My favourite non-GAF level:
It's a SMB3 theme that I could see as an actual late game Mario level. Decently challenging but never unfair. Powerups are generally not free and take a bit to earn - but are also never required.
I was on a SMM stream promoting my own level, and stuck around after mine was played. I'm glad I did because that's where I saw this level, and while the streamer could not complete it I was able to in four tries so I think it is very fair and any deaths would be on the user. I like any stages that could reasonably be in a Mario game and have some challenge but don't pull unpredictable deaths, so this was a pleasure to play.

Same guy created this one, which I think is even more ridiculous. Mind boggling really. https://youtu.be/_sxY8pELhqM

Potentially good idea for a companion thread here. I try to read the OT fairly regularly but at 221 pages and counting it's impossible to keep up with at times and the temptation there is to focus on promoting your own level instead of posting impressions on others.
Anyways, I don't know if it's my favorite (way too hard to choose), but last night I played "But the Future Refused to Change" by Jims.

Really unique little stage with a simple yet clever and engaging "past vs future" dual layout, highly recommend giving it a spin. And how can you go wrong with a level named after a beloved Chrono Trigger quote?

My next puzzle level is short but sweet. It's story driven so make sure you leave Miiverse commentary on. There is only one enemy in the whole stage: glaDOS. This level isn't hard, but Portal fans may recognize a few things. Check it out!
Try this one people, it's good!

IGA is an unbelievable maker, and I'm 99% sure it's the actual IGA.

Do you have a code for one of his levels? I want to check them out.

I'm not home right now so I'm not sure how to get one. If you can search by user look for IGA from Japan. If not, I'll post one here later.
He recreated Castlevania levels and also created some of the funniest original levels I've come across.

My favorite level so far is the recreation of Mega Man 2's Dr. Wily stage 1:
(5BDE-0000-001A-318F)
I encountered it when I was browsing some YouTube videos. The level faithfully recreates the feeling of the original level and creatively incorporates the ideas of Item 1 and 3 in the level. Finally, the cherry on the cake, the level concludes with an awesome boss fight that resembles the original Mecha Dragon's battle.
