Thanks a lot1 I liked your Thwomp's wood Chomp-ing facility, too.
Thanks for the glowing review
I really enjoyed your levels as well. Especially Hard Hat Area, the Queen Koopa one, and the Cthulhu one.I was curious to see where a checkpoint would fit in Hard Hat Area so I took the liberty of spending a few minutes whipping this up:
The best fit seemed to be above your exit pipe for the level. It's only a single checkpoint, but the level doesn't really need more.
Here it is in action:
It is an awesome level.
Glad you liked it! The toughest things to work out were definitely all of the pow block stuff and getting Bowser Jr to come out for the 2nd phase of the final fight without bonking himself with his own shells. I think it can still happen, but not as often as previous iterations.And some feedback of my own for RaganarokX´s latest creation (1B6D-0000-00A3-FD76):
First of all, thanks a lot for sharing all the science behind your level. Second, I instantly downloaded this level after playing it to see how everything worked and was really surprised about the simplicity of most of the mechanics and how you got them to work perfectly, they are really a piece of art. You must have spent a lot of time polishing everything to work as you intended, awesome job.
Last, on the level itself: it really left me speechless. Cutscenes, creative bossfights (specially liked how the floor moved in parts in one of them) and things happenning that I didn´t think were possible in SMM. Someone said before that you seem to be using a better copy of SMM and I think that expresses exactly what I felt while playing the level: "That´s not possible!", "how did he do that?"...just awesome. Gameplay is great, I couldn´t stop playing until I had beaten the level and had discovered every secret. It´s true that the boss fight with the up & down moving floor was a bit chaotic, specially when Bowser Jr. starts throwing shells, but I loved the first part of that fight. Awesome use of checkpoints (I tried myself in some previous levels of mine but people didn´t seem to get the idea..btw I also used the Bonus music for the checkpoint room
Guys, try this stage, it really takes SMM to another level.
I unfortunately ran afoul of the block and enemy limits in the main map; which is why the bonus area with the giant parabuzzy beetles and bob-ombs is made of pipes. The autoscrolling submap hit the enemy limit.
The final phase of the final fight definitely is a bit chaotic, but that's what I was going for. I knew it might be a bit confusing having things exploding all around while fighting Jr. so I tried to make the actual fighting space open and clean. The good thing about the shells he throws is that they usually take each other out pretty quickly. Plus he's really easy to cheese. I hope it conveyed the idea that the engine of the airship was exploding.

How do delete levels from "MY COURSES?" I downloaded a couple levels to look behind the scenes and now want to get rid of them.

Whoa, this is interesting...
On 10/14/2015, I think a Nintendo employee uploaded an "official" level of sorts.
The user is Mary O., the manual lady. The icon isn't a Mii, it's Mary O.'s face, and there's a little green medal thing with a check mark, like a "verified user" type thing. If you want to see it for yourself, the level is called My First Course with the ID 241A-0000-000D-E2B0.
The weird thing is...with an ID in the range xxxx-xxxx-000D-xxxx, that's something that would've been uploaded day one. Yet it shows it was uploaded 10/14. Very strange.
In other news, it sounds like courses are beginning to be taken down. Exact criteria unknown as expected, but the assumption is it's based on lack of traffic/stars.

But is there anything stopping you from uploading the level again?
LOL! Mary O is trolling! This level sucks!
UncleSporky

I don't think there's anything stopping you. I imagine many people won't care about it, or will never even know because they stopped playing, that sort of thing.
You can do that. You have to go to their miiverse page outside of the game.

IIRC you don't even have to go outside the game.

Why are people stingy with stars? Is not like there is a penalty for them :_
Oni Link 666
Member
What if someone takes a look at what you've starred and sees a bunch of sucky levels? They might think you like sucky levels.
I wouldn't feel the need to justify to anybody why i am star generous?
QuixoticNeutral
Member
I can only speak for myself, but I use my list of starred courses as a playlist of courses that impressed me enough such that I might want to return to them later, or as a list of recommendations that I can easily pass to other people. If there were a way to assemble custom playlists (or better yet, shareable ones), I'd be a lot more generous with starring anything that plays reasonably well. But as it is, doing that would leave my favourites list too cluttered. It's not ideal, but I try to dispense more stars towards players who are still getting up and running, whereas when somebody is already on a few hundred, I might just mark the creations of theirs I like best and subscribe to their maker profile for the rest.
Understood. I simply follow people that made what i find to be outstanding courses and star courses more actively (but i need to really like the course still naturally). For one, i like spreading love, and second, it allows me to go back and check different courses of people i followed.
Plus, people update their creations so then i make sure i can always play a certain great course

Do you have the rhythm to beat Don't Move; Hop to the Beat?
Come on in and put your rhythm skills to the test!

Enjoy!
If you do leave a level code along with your Mii name and comments on what you thought about this level then I'll be sure to play yours too.
Here is a YouTube video of it for those of you without the game yet/who wants to see it first:

So i think i am ready to share my latest creation with you all!
its called Back Track Mansion, and the name alone should give you a clue how to play/approach this level.
AACA-0000-00B1-6D91
A friend of mine described it very zelda like, where only certain items will open certain paths.
You are also invading King Boo's mansion, so he will be following you around!
I am honestly very proud of this level and i hope you guys enjoy it as well! There are also some secrets to find to help your escape! but the level is also completely beatable without any super mushroom, fire flower, or cape

Hey, that was very inventive. Really good! It probably took a lot of troal and error to get it right. Impressive.
Here is my latest level should you want to try it:
Thwomp's wood Chomp-ing facility
3FC7-0000-00AC-D2F8
So, I haven't been able to play Super Mario Maker too much lately because of real life issues. Thankfully, those are solved, so I'm gonna be playing a ton of gaf levels soon! But first, I was greeted with something like this when I logged in.
Anyways, I haven't gotten to many gaf levels yet, but I want to highlight this group of levels in particular.
Wow, incredible levels, especially the airship one! I'm impressed by all the cutscenes and scripting of the airship level, it really felt like I was fighting with Bowser Jr. throughout the entire level! I loved the checkpoint system you used too: vreay creative work around. In general, these levels use Super Mario Maker's mechanics in ways I didn't even know where possible, check them out people!
Anyways, I finished a new level myself last night
Donkey Kong JR. Returns!
EBD0-0000-00B1-708C
Gonna be honest, not sure if I'd call this my best level. I did make it difficult on purpose, almost like a "lost levels of Donkey Kong Jr.", but I'm worried people won't find several integral mechanics, like how you can switch vines by just tapping the dpad. Also, there are some sections you can cheese because I was a bit merciful with the mushrooms due to this level's difficulty. There's also a tiny bit of story at the end, but its more of a bonus than anything, its not like the Lakitu and Goomba levels were its the entire point!
Oh, and for anyone who cares: I am gonna make another story level, but it may take some time and experimentation ;D
Holy shit I got all the medals
As expected, the Goomba Level is the culprit. People really love that level, huh? I never would have expected it to get in the top 40 globally!
Anyways, I haven't gotten to many gaf levels yet, but I want to highlight this group of levels in particular.
My latest level is finished. It's 1-4 and concludes my first world. The previous levels are:
(1-1) Garden Garrison (B8EA-0000-004B-81DE)
(1-2) Color-Coded Caverns (8ED7-0000-005D-D2E9)
(1-3) High and Dry Dock (759E-0000-0082-DAC4)
And now:
(1-4) Junior Airship Showdown (1B6D-0000-00A3-FD76)
Wow, incredible levels, especially the airship one!

In my mind people would freak out in front of the conveyor stairs and push the P-Switch first! (I should have put a switch in the tutorial too.)
I played a few of your levels, they were a bit too difficult for my self (a bit kaizoish). I haven't seen them posted on Gaf?
Super TOHO World 6-3

I hope you like jumping. The level is made of 6 mini challenges and a colourful conclusion!

Thanks to Theorymon's comment I checked RaganarokX's Bowser Jr Airship stage, and that was really impressive. It was that first time I was left just confused by how a Mario Maker was created mechanically (
).
especially that bit in the first Bowser Jr. battle where a cannon drops after he's defeated, opening a pathway

Dino Cloning Lab
(5423-0000-00C4-D27A)
If you want to clone a dinosaur, all you need is a DNA machine and some dino DNA. Off to the amber mine!
As always, if you give me feedback I'll make sure to play and star (unless they're terrible your levels too!
Some random feedback:
I couldn't clear it because I always lost my helmet and didn't find a new one. Is there a replacement somewhere? Or a way to get past that giant Thwomp bridge without a helmet?
Enjoyable level and a nice change of pace after 1-8. Looking forward to world 2!
This was fun! Some of the jumps at the beginning were a little awkward and at times you have to wait a little too long for a vine to come back, but that's minor nitpicking. I liked the boss too!

Just when I think I'm out of ideas for new levels and I'm ready to move on to other games, I get a ton of them in quick succession. This game!
Finished my very first level, Super Mario Planets - Planet 1-1
Hope you enjoy it!
lol kidding, I'm just making a final pass on the first 8 levels of World 1. I ended up changing 1-1 quite a bit.
Change logs:
- Removed the first gap
- Put the first flame-throwers higher
- Added a respawning wiggler
- Changed vastly the look of the level
- Can't lose Yoshi!
- Removed the skull rides and replaced them with blue platforms
- Removed the apple part and completely changed the ending (A little Yoshi's Island homage)
Here's the code:
178B-0000-00B3-845E
Cool thanks for the review! Yeah 1-block-large platforms are a bit advanced but it's not that hard actually and the level is pretty short. And using 2 blocks screws the look at the letters! ^ ^
D'oh! Forgot about curved tracks, I used them in V2 that I will post son. Thanks for your feedback!
Hope you enjoy it!

I really like the way you used Wigglers in this level. Can't tell you how many times I've added them to mine just to delete them later in frustration. You did a great job integrating them into the level and making it fun. I was never lost and always knew exactly what to do in order to advance.
Press the Home button and open the Internet Browser (Where you quit in the game will be your screenshot), then go to imgur or similar, it will offer to browse your computer (Wii U in this case) and voilà!
Thanks for playing, I iterated 3 or 4 times on this level ^ ^
BTW, I'm disappointed, I forgot the home-made sounds aren't working online

This is probably one of my favorite ice levels I've played in SMM. I died quite a few times (and probably lowered your level's Clear Rate in the process
), but I enjoyed the challenge. I digged the falling ice blocks and the overall design of the level; it really did feel like an ice cave (I also pretended the moles were penguins )I built a new level today and need your feedback!

I loved the industrial sound and feel to this level, but was a bit slow working it out. Main problem I had was all that real estate at the top of the level. I was
utterly fooled into thinking it must lead somewhere. I therefore spent far too long navigating around the ghost cloud and going around in circles. Apart from the fire flower (which substituted my cape) there didn't seem to be any reward for exploring this area
I did some backtracking through
the mole section
fire bar room as the spring was now sitting on a solid block and therefore couldn't release the POW block.
This particular area was otherwise a real highlight. I must've done about ten circuits around the bar trying to figure out the puzzle while avoiding getting hit! It was exhausting and exciting at the same time.
Anyway, I eventually figured out the
P switch conveyor belt trick

I'm also including a couple of "older" levels I hadn't shared here yet.
Mario Fights The Cavity Creeps!
3D9C-0000-00B0-6AAC
Mario does battle against cavity-causinig bacteria in order to protect your teeth! Please remember to floss daily!
Super Mario Bros 3 World 7 Level 7 Remake
4480-0000-00B1-5D5B
This was one of my favorite SMB3 levels growing up, so of course I had to remake it (not sure what took me so long). Also added a couple of fun distractions.
Head Over Heels
0B41-0000-00AA-F640
A short-ish puzzle level involving stilettos; probably one of my favorite SMM items/vehicles.
Helpful Bullet Bill Is Helpful
4D68-0000-00A5-2519
An even shorter puzzle level involving Bullet Bills. I actually uploaded this one a while ago, and people seem to have a hard time beating it, but it should be a piece of cake for GAFers, right? Right?

So this isn't a new level from me per se as I made it some time ago and I didn't exactly design it, but basically no one here has seen it and I feel like I might as well share it now.
This is my remake of Super Mario Bros. Special level 4-3. This was made as a sort of prototype of a remake project that appears to have hit the permanent backburner, but if there's a lot of interest I suppose we could always bring it back from the dead. If you've ever wondered what it's like to play Super Mario Bros. Special, this gives you a bit of an idea. The levels aren't especially interesting in terms of layout because they hew pretty close to what was done in Super Mario Bros. and the Japanese SMB2, but they are vintage courses and they're fun enough.
I had to make a couple minor adjustments to this level: I replaced the Donkey Kong barrels with spinies, made the pulley lifts into falling lifts, altered how the subarea works to accommodate the SMM engine and squeezed the stage in a few minor places to make the level fit -- the SMBS levels are just a few blocks longer than what SMM allows. If you want to check it out, the code is 7C53-0000-0049-2B72.

ok so imgur is telling me I have no screenshots to upload
:T
btw after playing this game, the only thing that its lacking (other than checkpoints & slopes) is a kid/tutorial mode
like hear me out, I think the releasing content bit by bit is really good to avoid being overwhelmed.
However after you finish going through the content, if you invite a friend over to try it out, or have family with children over, they are gonna have a bit of trouble at first and not know all the stuff (like autoscroll, overworld/underworld pipes for example)
It would be really useful if you could set to tutorial/newcomer mode and let a friend play with tutorial hints.
I do realise everything is in the manual, and its hilarious, but expecting someone else to read all that then play is a bit of a drag. Mario maker is really great with gentle hints then leaving the player to their own devices

As always, if you give me feedback I'll make sure to play and star (unless they're terrible
I couldn't clear it because I always lost my helmet and didn't find a new one. Is there a replacement somewhere? Or a way to get past that giant Thwomp bridge without a helmet?
For your levels, I love,love,loved Mariowood. I honestly think it's my favorite real world location done in Mario Maker yet and it made for a very enjoyable play. I can't believe how good the whole thing looks on the level select. Escape from Koopatraz was pretty good too, although getting through that first section was a bit frustrating. Dino Cloning Lab was excellent as well. The use of the note block sounds for ambiance was very well done.
Glacier Cocktail was good, particularly with the water dripping from the ceiling. I do think it was a bit too easy though. I also tried out Overgrown Ruins and liked it too.
I like the concept here, but I (like a lot of people, considering your level stats) couldn't bother with actually completing the level. I think it's too long. If there were checkpoints, it wouldn't be nearly so bad, but without, it's infuriating to lose progress to a mistimed note-block bounce or screwy spring, not to mention what happens when you go down the pipe after all that. I'd strongly consider shortening the first part in the "normal" ghost house. I understand why it's there thematically, but given how hard the rest is, it just becomes a nuisance getting to the actual meat of the level after several deaths. Also, I would have love to have gotten a fire flower at some point. As far as I saw, all of the enemies are immune to it, but it would give a second hit, whereas I can't store extra mushrooms. Of course, if the intent is for this to be extremely hard then you've hit the mark, but given the theme I feel like you'd want more people to see it through, so you need to give people a chance to mess up and still move on. You've definitely nailed a kind of twisted fun house theme with the design though, I enjoyed that.
Mario's Platforming Challenge

This is my 7th level. This one took me several weeks to build and tens of hours of playtesting to complete.
It's got lots of interesting and fun elements. It's very challenging but also very fun and rewarding!
Hope you enjoy my levels!
Ooof, you weren't kidding about challenge, but I like challenge, so that's a good thing. Unfortunately, I couldn't complete this level, I got to the cannon gauntlet, died partway through and decided to stop there. I may come back to it, but this level seems to have the same problem as a lot of harder levels I've played recently, which is that it is too long! If you look at modern "ultra-hard" platforming games (at least, the ones anyone cares about) they almost always have frequent checkpoints or short stages. It looks like, from the level map, there was still quite a ways to go where I quit, and honestly the level could have ended at the first pipe and be complete, because up to that point it is a definite challenge, but a satisfying one. Well, except for the fish and the bloopers. I honestly don't think they add anything to the level but a trolling quotient. The level would be plenty hard without them, and I would have suffered fewer "WTF?!" deaths without them.
I do disagree with what someone else posted about the first mushroom in the level. If you're patient with the enemies, that mushroom is easy to get, at least compared to the rest of the level. In all honesty, it stands as a good gauge for the rest of the level. If someone struggles getting that mushroom, they're probably not prepared for what is to come.
A good difficult level is one that makes the player want to keep attacking it until they beat it. Despite the parts of your level I found a bit cheap, it hit that mark for me, until the cannon gauntlet. Basically, any section like that is like an autoscroller and I hate autoscrollers, but that's just a personal thing, and a good way to frustrate me. If your level ended before that, I would have completed it and starred it, as I think it would still be a complete level.
