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

Oh lol, I guess I should consider the random behaviour of some players for future attempts.

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.

awesome! Give this a try: B8B2-0000-0048-90BB

Edit: changed level to new version, if you see this

I got a good laugh about it when I realized that it WAS the place I had already been to.

Hey guys. Oh man, it's so late again here. 3 nights in a row not enough sleep creating levels... :x The next sessions will be playing your levels, GAF!

Well, here are my levels:

Flight of the Battleship (F345-0000-0048-5D1C) Difficulty: medium
Man, this took me 2 nights, around 8 hours. I don't know if something like this has been done before. Basically, in this level you ride an airship; but it's not your normal airship, because this one moves through the entire level and transforms. Dodge enemies, find hidden secrets (3 1-ups on the ship, "reset", "skip") and fight Bowser in his own airship. Can you defeat him and will your airship survive?

Shadowland (862D-0000-003E-FBF8) Difficulty: medium
I think this is pretty unique, too (I hope so). At first, this looks like a normal level, but it shows its dark twist when you think you can't progress anymore.

Don't jump (D8D5-0000-003A-0E19) Difficulty: hard
The name says it all. Don't jump. Most of the time you couldn't anyways because all you need in this level are walking and running skills. It may look pretty hard, but it's never unfair (I think). Progress slowly later on!

Damn I really liked this one. There were a lot of clever secrets to be found. The one at the end was good. Just a kind of "hnm let me check". You did a good job of introducing mechanics so that the player had an idea of what to do and you did the hidden block thing well. Never was I too stumped about where the block would be. The only actual issue I would have with this level is just that there isn't much actual platforming. Not that that is had, it seems you were going more puzzle, but an outside section with a bit more challenge before getting back into the base would have been great. Starred. Really quality man.

Thanks a ton! Since I based it on Metal Gear Solid, I decided to focus more on "sneaking" and puzzles and quasi-combat over platforming. The main level is pretty cramped as is. I see what you mean, though. Maybe in Mario Gear Solid 2: Coins of Liberty.

Thank you. At first, I had the two main "boss battles" centered around picking up and throwing bob-ombs, but after some testing I realized that would be too hard for many people. I still wanted to incorporate them, though, because I wanted things to explode, so I ended up redesigning those parts as puzzles instead.

Eventually there is going to be an existential crisis of GOOD / QUALITY SMM levels.

The crux of this problem is that if you create a level with enemy spam...Star power genocide...auto-complete levels.

People are giving these poor effort stages Stars for these.

Create a level with some decent effort and time invested into it...you know, actually make something decent, you don't get Stars for this.

What does this mean.

Less stars given means less room to make more stages for uploads. More shit levels get more stars, which means even more room for the shit stage creators to populate their shit online with.

Clearly I am not the only one that sees the problem with this?

ID: 47B0-0000-0048-3465

Yeah, I'm pretty sure 480 is the fastest it's possible to get from one end to the other in a full size stage. One of the stages I'm working on right now has a speed run route where you never have to stop and I can never get under 480.

By the way, are the units of time in this actual second?

I think the problem is that people who bought this game bought it specifically for the crazy stages. I imagine they're thinking, "I can get a normal mario level in a normal mario game. Why should I care about one in here?" And then add that to the fact that, even if your stage is really good, people are really only likely to play it once, not really caring about looking for secrets or speedrunning, because hey, doesn't matter how good this level is, it's not a real mario level, so why should I care? Add to that the fact that we can't create worlds, just single levels. And then add to that the fact that most content is locked behind 100 mario challenge, where nobody has time to beat their head against the wall with a moderately difficult, but interesting level when they could just skip and and hope for an easy level. The number of people who die once and then skip is probably huge.

 

[James Scott]

New stage. It's a clone of a popular indie game people love. It's the best clone available in SMM

Spoiler

hopefully it's not too hard. My brother was able to beat it relatively easily. My other stages are designed better but people seem to like these types of levels more

 

[chumby]

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.

It's kind of a boring stage if you're not going for the bonus or "difficult" routes but it would be nice to see somebody play it anyway.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

GAF. I sold out. I decided to make an autoscroll level. I wanted to make Song of Healing, so I made a music box version as well as one with strings. It's pretty basic. I'm not good enough to weave Mario in and out of the notes and just trapped him on the bottom. Through my experimenting, I couldn't find a way to play two sounds at once. I wanted to put more instruments in, but they wouldn't play at the same time as the main melody, so I just had to settle for this. I know most of you don't care for levels like this, but if any of you happened to want to see it:

Song of Healing Music Box
580C-0000-0048-7DD6

Song of Healing String Version
3682-0000-0048-85D9

I like the String Version because the Piranha Plants' fire makes it look pretty. I think I can experiment more with making interesting scenery for the viewer, but of course I won't neglect real levels.

Hey guys, after some feedback from GAF I've completely revamped my level, The Great Galoomba Factory. It is now about double the length with a completely different third section, now equipped with more sections after that, new secrets, a puzzle searching for a hidden block in the subworld, and what I believe is a better difficulty curve.

It's not perfect, but I believe it might just be the best possible version of this level.

Check it out!

I have 3 levels uploaded. So far no one has beat my last 2 but the 1st is pretty easy.

This is a propeller hat stage with some tricky jumps. I made it pretty forgiving with hats consistently being shot at resting points.

5058-0000-003f-91d8
I had a little fun with this one. The floors are made entirely of spikes and I added a little FU at the end, only if don't do the level as intended

F140-0000-0034-fc04
This one is fairly easy. Beginning is the only hard part. It's the only stage I made to be completed.


I would like some feedback if any. I have yet to unlock everything as well

[Fermbiz]

I just did the 100 Mario Challenge on expert. I only made it to the 5th stage using all my 100 lives.

Basically the stages I've played are troll/trial and error stages. Not only were they're troll stages, they also required near extreme skills to make certain jumps and what not. It drove me to the brink of insanity. I'm not going to lie but, I did have some fun. If that is what in store for me when playing on expert, I have no idea how I'm going to complete 16 stages on 100 lives.
