Super Mario Maker 2 creator releases ‘Super Mario Bros. 5’ after 7 years of work
- Thread starter ZeoVGM
- Start date
Our Nocturnowl (IIRC!) has done something similar and it was a great collection of levels. If someone plays through this and is looking for more well-designed classic Mario levels, have a look at it.
Well if they want to share it again here I'd love to give it a try.
but if World is 4 in japan, then Yoshi's Island isn't 5, because it doesn't have the "Super Mario World 2" title there
numbers have failed
I do really enjoy a set of well-crafted levels in Super Mario Maker, so I'll definitely check this out!
So funny thing, the Gigaleak gave us this prototype image of Yoshi's Island:
Yup, that says Super Mario Bros. 5.

Really? I feel like this is radically underselling how much new stuff SMB3 bought to the table. Technically, level theme wise, game mechanics, enemies. You name it. SMB3 set the template for 2D Mario games to this very day. None of the main games have stray far from it (unless you count Yoshi's Island)
"Only the classics."
C'mon, bro. Live a little!

Same. Maybe he's just a popular guy on the internet? I dunno.

Interestingly the proto for Yoshi's Island that surfaced in that huge Nintendo leak called it Super Mario Bros. 5
And that's what I get for not refreshing!So funny thing, the Gigaleak gave us this prototype image of Yoshi's Island:

You know IF Wii U launched with Super Mario Maker it may have been compelling enough to make a difference
I played a little bit and it gave me some ideas for new levels to make…might be getting sucked back in.
Also caught up in some ninji speed runs

It did plenty well, they're just not interested in everything being a perpetual game as a service.
The existence of this thread alone shows people are still interested and making significant content for the game.
I did this same thing in Super Mario Maker creating a full 32 level Super Mario Bros 1 style game and Super Mario Maker 2 with a SMB3 style one. I wish more people had tried to invoke Nintendo design philosophy like me and this guy did. I can't wait to try his game out.
There are lots of super worlds in SMM2 aiming to emulate a traditional Mario game. You certainly have to dig a little using the in game search function but there are more traditional levels (and I mean solid ones, not poor) than you would ever reasonably be able to play.
Am I the only one who read the thread title and assumed it was talking about the creator OF Super Mario Maker 2?
No doubt. Even with how poorly the Wii U sold, Mario Maker made pretty huge waves online. If it and something like Rayman Legends had been there day one then the fate of the Wii U may have been very different.
I played the first two worlds and the levels have been fun. Nothing too fancy but it does use some tricks that I associate with Mario Maker more than traditional levels. That's not a bad thing. Seems like a solid mix so far.
Is there a way to save a run? I can use sleep mode but being able to resume my progress would allow me to space this out a bit more.
Here are some traditional styled super worlds.

Hero - CD4-1T7-PWG
Iggy2602 - 2TQ-2TC-FWG
Perrymaker - Q9C-C70-JBG

That's about 250 levels. I have more but normally when I post these big lists people get choice paralysis so just keeping it short. If you crush all of those and still want more you can PM me.
All super worlds save progress automatically.
Yes.
... Fuck. Been meaning to sign back up for a while, but I'll probably wait until I'm done with my current lineup of games. I was just about to go dust off the old cartridge too lol.
Aw, well, I appreciate your comment immensely! Like this creator's Super World, mine originated in the original Super Mario Maker as well, so I'm excited to see how their Super World turned out. Love playing Nintendo-like levels, as they're my preferred type in Mario Maker games. Though that's not to say I don't appreciate other styles like Kaizo--I'm just bad at playing those. haha
Its lifecycle was also further shortened by covid. There were indications (including reports by Imran and maybe others) that at the least they were also working on a Super Mario Bros 2 (USA) style but when the lockdowns and WFH came, they seemingly decided to just call it a day, bundle anything ready to ship into the final update, and abandon the rest. The game was originally planned to get more support.
Bookmarking this for later. Really makes me want to dust off my Super Mario Maker 2 game.
SMM2 is subject to Sturgeon's Law, but once you find the good content... It's a blast.

Dude is promoting himself better. He's got major publications pushing his quote about essentially "doing what Nintendon't" and calling it SMB 5; bold claims draw eyes.
Super Mario World was referred to as Super Mario 4 in Japan yeah. I saw this recently so this seems like a good place to put it for those curious. Well made, informative and worth watchin'. It's long tho... but it's long tho!

The Story of Super Mario World
A documentary on the making of Super Mario World, the launch of the Super Nintendo, and how the game perfected the concepts of the Super Mario series.CHAPTER...youtu.be
Is there a way to play this game now in Super Mario Maker 2 or anywhere else with upscaled graphics? I loved this game.
Sorry I am so out of the loop of what's been re-released over the years or what Nintendo is doing to refresh old SNES titles.
I made a note of this yesterday to get around to when Nintendolife mentioned it, and now it's popped up on all sorts of sites.
I must confess, I do wonder what's prompted this wave of media response compared to all the other well crafted super worlds out there, the idea of making a "nintendo like" Super World or a pseudo SMB sequel isn't uncommon among level creators (some right here in this thread even!), is it just because of how belated this one is?
It's a bold claim to be SMB5 as Nintendo would do it at any rate, I can't help but feel like the creator's stylistic fingerprints will still be noticeable, and honestly I'd consider that for the better, one of the great things about super worlds even when designed in a traditional manner, is the way players can step outside the box and whip up some creative spins on the Mario formula.
For example solarhorse had some really inventive theming for their superworld (World ID: VY4-KLS-C2H)
I don't think this one was mentioned yet.
Anyway, I'll check this out.
Ditto to Gotdatmoney for the mention, the glue of our once popping OT, did you ever get around to finishing your superworld in the end? I've just turned on the game after a long break and they're still trickling in it seems!
May as well throw my slapdash promotional banner in here, but behind a spoiler as to not feel like I'm hijacking the thread
Though to expand on what I was saying to Kazooie, I think I'd specify that my design mindset is more in line with a DKC game in gimmicks and challenge, and was designed around the kind of Mario Maker player who inherently understands what you can do with all the different styles and items of the game (effectively, I wanted to use a bit of everything), which makes it a bit more of a grab bag where I ended up almost tripping up Xtortion because I just assumed he knew how the fluttering kuribo's shoe worked to get maximum height, and I still feel bad for his trauma lol
Going back through this earlier this year after time away from it definitely had me note where I felt I could toot my own horn like "I did good" and where I could've really tightened up thegraphics on level 3 level design, just to set some expectations first *ahem*, because I never went back to edit them, the game kinda makes editing stages you already uploaded a net loss.
Missing out on wall jumps, squirrel suits and the 3D World gimmicks is like needlessly handicapping your options I say!

Aww shucks, you do remember correctly, though I'd consider mine to not be as inherently traditional as trying to make a Super Mario Bros Sequel, just a hopefully fair platformer.

Unironically this

If you mean Super Mario World (vs Super Mario 5 lol), I only know offhand that it is on the SNES NSO along with other releases like with the SNES mini or eshop releases (3DS/WiiU) from older consoles.
I actually started another run with World because of this topic and the NSO save state/rewind feature is pretty nice to have. Although, I decided to beat it this time without (!) switch blocks, never tried that before.
Yes, so many great Super Mario Maker 2 creators on ERA, Gotdatmoney and Nocturnowl included. I remember being addicted to their levels and greatly impressed by them. I'll need to check out the others that Gotdatmoney listed earlier to refresh my memory on the levels, or better yet, experience them again or for the first time.
Since there's so much renewed interest thanks to Metroid Mike's dedication and hard work, I'll share my makeshift box art from back at Super World's launch for my Super World of levels. It also had the aim of creating traditional-like levels, and incorporates every Mario style save for SMB. I wanted to make a special final bonus level incorporating the SMB style to make it extra special as a level, but I never got around to it. :(
Hope that isn't too big of an image for folks. If it is, let me know and I'll put it behind a spoiler/quote or something!

This may sound dumb but, as many things: timing and marketing. People like me have been thinking back on Mario Maker lately and were waiting for an excuse to play it again (and were put off by the awful search function ingame). Then a somewhat viral tweet talking about classic levels in a SMB5 style caught my attention and that of others, and from there it became even more viral.
Anyway, thanks for sharing! I'll pass this on on a Nintendo focused server I'm on where people I've been interested in finding nice levels to play.
Thanks Phil32 too. I'm gonna play all the levels shared here on stream in the coming days ☺️ (I'm just a no name small streamer but I've been wanting to stream Mario Maker for a while and I have a few friends who were also looking for a reason to boot up MM2 again).

Ooh, would love to watch--and I don't just mean you playing my levels! I'm interested in seeing others' levels too on stream. That and I enjoy supporting small streamers as opposed to ones where you can't get a word in chat edge-wise. ha Would motivate me to get back to the game most likely, as it's one of my favorite Switch games.
yup agreed with this 100%
NSMBU recycling the "new" aesthetic really betrays the absolutely amazing level design. Even though the game sold really well, I feel like a lot of people probably missed out thinking it was more of the same
It's one person and we don't know how actively or intensely they were working on the project either. Some people move at different speeds. Even of they aren't the best levels ever these things can still take time. As I always say "if you think it's easy, show us"
No worries about the mention. You're world had some really standout levels in it. I remembered enjoying the heck outta it. I forgot to add Solarhorses world to my list. That Martini themed level of his is such a standout in visuals.
Yeah levels for my world are still coming in. Who knows if I'll ever finish it though. I dont get much time to work on it these days with school and work. I definitely made a mistake going 100% new levels with no transplants 😅 Especially with how difficult my newest levels have trended. I'll have to go back and do a difficulty reducing pass.
I always watch Mario Maker being streamed so if you stream on Twitch, solid chance I have watched you at some point.
