Do we have any clue how this game is selling so far?
Could this game be on the same level of smash or mario kart?

Two things I hope Nintendo adds in an update:
- Checkpoints: Creators should have the option to place one in their level
- Worlds: We can create a set of four levels to play offline....why not give creators the ability to do the same for people to play online?

This sounds like a fun idea.. but I don't think you can upload any levels that you've downloaded, so there's no way to pass things along without the next person in line recreating every bit of the level themselves.
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but... you can't re-upload a downloaded level.
The only one who can edit a level and upload it is the original creator.

I'd like to be able to make fire flowers only appear if you already have a mushroom. I don't understand why you can't.

Learned 30 minutes ago that I could have everything by modifying the console's date.
All done, perfect!! Time to make some crazy shit!!!
You can unlock everything in less than an hour without changing your clock.
I liked the part where you have to climb on the vines while watching out for the saw blade. But your warp pipe is weird. You can't enter it while the P switch is still going, and you're guaranteed to take damage on the conveyor belt if you're not small Mario because the starman runs out before you can get off.
I'm looking for some tips on what kind of level I should make based on my previous levels. I don't think they're particularly hard levels, and contain some one-off funny jokes/trolls.
So, here are my levels so far:
Easy Does It: 395F-0000-0012-8C2B
Where's Yoshi?: 2B78-0000-001B-369B
Big Baby: 997D-0000-001F-0267
I sort of want to make a Water level next, but I'm not exactly sure what the Direction should be.

Just beat it. I thought I got stuck and killed myself a few times. But I thought it was really creative. It all worked really well and I thought it was pretty fun! When I got the flower power I was feeling pretty bad ass. Haha
My two highest star levels are the hardest ones I've made, at least in my opinion:
17 Stars - Non-canon Cannon Ship - 0031-0000-0016-9AC4
10 Stars - Prescription for the Castle - 8F5D-0000-0013-66A0
My other easier levels don't go higher than 2 stars.
Short rant:
I fucking HATE levels that leave factors entirely to chance. If I make a route from point A to point B where I clear said route and die after point B, theoretically if I do the same route I should get the same result, right? That's the idea of trial and error. Turbo Tunnel in Battletoads is difficult the first time, but the pillars will always remain in the same place. If I die after clearing an area before, that theoretically should be my own fault. My problem is there are enemies with random attack patterns *cough*Bowser*cough* and it genuinely annoys me when I can say the difficulty of an area is determined by enemies like this. It's even worse when it's more than one and it can make a situation unwinnable on a certain run. It's not all the time of course, but when the level is designed for that one situation where the enemies attack in an advantageous way, it's poor level design and frustrates me to no avail

I really wish I could watch the replays of people playing my levels for tuning purposes.
Hammer bros.
This would be very nice. Not being able to see where people have died in sub areas sucks too, especially when that's where most of your level is.
Nice level. Didn't feel unfair. I like the placement of the fire flower and the option to throw shells at the end if you need to.Just made a level I'm really proud of.

1up get! Good first level.I just made my first level, it's nothing special but fun for a few seconds. Tool set is real limited so I wasn't able to mess around too much, but if anyone is bored go for it. Takes about 20-30 seconds to finish.

I liked the various secrets; they're pretty clever. I could do without the titular "Cheep shots" in the question mark blocks though. That's the sort of thing that will get people holding down the select button when that happens to them in 100 Mario Challenge.

Played for a little over 2 hours at my friends house. I will never play this game again. I really dislike 2d platforming with mario physics. I'll stick to megaman and rogue legacy. I'm glad I didn't spend any money on this game.
Making level tools are pretty cool, annoyed I had to unlock so many plus I don't have the talent or time to make anything creative but I'm glad a lot of people are enjoying it. This game just isn't for me.

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback! I think I really wanted to introduce it safely and teach the player to be on their toes when it comes to hitting the question blocks, and then hope players would enjoy the mini challenge of seeing whether you can get out of the way in time! But I guess it may not come across that way.
Do you have any levels? Feedback for feedback!

Nice. I like effect of the fountain of fireballs. Though the requirement on that second jump is pretty strict. Maybe bring it in a square or two so the player doesn't have to be pixel perfect with their spacing in addition to having to time the jump over the fireballs.
Yep, right here:

This was a lot of fun! Liked using the bombs to kill plants and blow open block walls, particularly right at the end where they had to be carried further. Felt the difficulty ramped up appropriately. Good use of flaming cheeps too. They come out just right so that they can hit you when you grab the flower, which is what made me notice them for the first time.
Edit: Your first level is cool too. Certainly tougher than your second. Using the spinies to kill turtles and other spinies was pretty great.
Those fireballs don't actually go high enough to hit you
And are you doing the air stalls/spin things? They'll help you make that jump easily, even when jumping from the middle of the platform.

I'm down for a collab - but I don't think it would work for individual levels since you can't upload levels you download. Even without an Overworld I definitely think we could get a bunch of GAF People, each person makes a level, and we'd have a fun game in our hands.
Very nice! The stage has a strong central theme and a good sense of progression to it. I liked how if you were diligent enough to clear all the blocks with a bob-omb then powerups would start spawning from the cleared pipe.
Extremely solid, simple but effective! Great work. You know your Mario design principles!

My digging/exploring level is coming along nicely. Might finish it tomorrow but I have a lot of testing to do as there are 5 (technically 6) different paths. I'm building it as a choose your own adventure type of dealio and they each have a different theme for the place.
I've had to scale back a few of the paths because they either didn't fit or look as good as I thought they would in my head. The treasure room, for example, was going to have a big snake made out of coins but it was hard to see it outside of the editor.

My primary goal is to keep the challenge consistent throughout the level, because it's just awful having to replay a easy bit to just get to the interesting part. Also no cheap deaths near the end (though I generally don't put cheap deaths in my levels at all).
It's kinda sad you can't do the normal 'learn the gimmick' > checkpoint > 'challenge the gimmick' pattern that's normal in game design, but you're basically asking for people to skip your level if you do that without checkpoints. Hopefully they'll patch the halfway checkpoint in at some point because its omission is really holding back some good levels.
I took a shot at a Super Mario World Level (there aren't enough of these)
It's my first level so it's probably a bit aimless, but any feedback is very much appreciated.

I like this. So many trash levels out there, it's nice to have an actual Mario level light on gimmicks.

Tried my hand at making a Metroid inspired level from scratch as my first creation. I wanted to capture the idea of the gated progression on a smaller scale, while not making it big enough to feel unfair given the lack of checkpoints. Some platforming spots are a bit more lenient without certain powers as well. I really started to feel limited with the available SMW tile sets and customization options over time, but I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

Glad you liked it! I prefer to stick to a relative theme with each level, using only a few different elements, with the difficulty ramping up as you move forward. I'm really glad you caught the reward of clearing all the blocks in front of a pipe.
As for my first level, I'm glad you liked that, too! It seems trickier than it is, actually. 99% of the time, being patient will cause the spineys to take each other. The trickiest part is the end with the platforms.
Like I said above, I'm glad you were diligent enough to clear those blocks and reap the rewards!

I'm guessing you place a door at the beginning of the level and have the other end at the spot where you would normally place a checkpoint. That way, people can start at your checkpoint if they wanted.

Hello.
Got the game on Friday, make a few courses.
Here is my last one, a while ago I read someone's comment about faking a vertical level, this is my attempt to that

Solid level! Appreciated the bonus area through the pipe - I only hit one ? block per line, I swear!

Good to hear! I'm glad people still remember those bonus rooms. You're the first person to play the level, so here's to hoping more people share your sentiment.

You should play my pal's levels, too. He's of the mindset like many of us that people should be making proper levels in this, not the shite we are mostly seeing in 100 Marios mode, so that's why I'm pimping them on his behalf. We need more levels like this. (Also he doesn't have a GAF account, but is following this thread, so it seems fair)

Didn't think I was going to make it through that on the first try. It's a long climb to only have one mushroom, at least that I found. Had to be careful after getting hit about halfway through. I enjoyed this.
Sounds cool. I'll check those out now.
