Cool concept, though a bit repetitive since it was the exact same things over and over. Maybe a little variation would have been more fun. I got it in every time but no key… so no payoff. Do you have to hit both blocks at once every time?
Ok, that was insanely fun. Brilliantly crafted to bring you to different places. Very well done!
Very creative! I'd like to see a series of this exact formula, with different enemies you get to dispatch of in diverse ways with the pipes and contraptions. Very fun!
Yeah honestly I worried about that. I would have liked to be able to place one more checkpoint overall, but with two I had to pick between splitting up difficulty and length. I probably should have swapped the places of some of the sections but I wanted to keep the psuedo-mirrored layout (you're going up one side of the cave and down the other, and each side has similar challenges in similar places.)
Also the spike hitboxes are bullshit and one of the reasons I had to change that section. It feels like Mega Man 1 levels of touchy and I don't like it.
Thank you for the feedback! I like making hard levels but I don't usually go this hard. Definitely learned some things from the process.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Was worried how well I signposted things, so this confirms I probably didn't do a good enough job. For the shell throw, you'll kick yourself: Simply jump on the spot from safety off the previous platform and press trigger. No directional presses required, the shell will launch straight down the corridor and clear all the debris! Sorry you had to struggle so much.
You aren't getting the key because you haven't made a perfect delivery. Only deliver to the subscribers. The clue is in the first screen. Once you get the key, a second, more elaborate half of the level opens up.
Ok beat it. That third section is by far my favorite section. I had it down to basically a speed run strat and could do the whole section in probably 15 seconds. I'd go back and speed run the whole level if I had any trust in getting the spike sections.
I would be head over heals with this level if the whole level had the pacing of that third section. The sections before with the walking spiney's and waiting for the jumping pirahna plants forced a lot more of waiting. If those sections were a little more sped up I don't even think the spike sections would even be much of a bother in difficulty, but it was the waiting and then getting to two sections of those, one even with spineys you're waiting on, that made that part grueling.
Really liked the level and difficulty for sure.
I was trying to figure out a way where you had to kill a giant Bowser to be able to use the goal, and the only way to kill Bowser available in the level would be to make him follow you to the very end and fall in a pit of lava. But I couldn't really figure out a good way to do this that didn't end up with the Bowser despawning when you get too far away and also remain fun + challenging. :/
It ranges from extremely fun and addictive to downright unplayable garbage.
Here is a my latest creation, The Great Turnip Rave of 1927. I had a lot of fun with the theme.
Once I saw one of the semi-solid platforms in SMW was a root vegetable, I had to make a level around it. This is an easy-to-intermediate traditional level with lots of power-ups, lots of secrets, and a hell of a lot of turnips.

Okay, now I'm happy with a trio of what I considered my weaker-designed courses. Not only have I updated a couple of my older courses make some needed tweaks, but I've also managed to improve Creeper Aquarium a ton, thanks to some feedback. I guess both a pro and con that the courses stats had to obviously be wiped and have new Course IDs.
Spiny Central: KDK-BGP-H9G
Bully Tracker: WWV-4QB-9YF
Both of these courses had some very awkward difficulty spikes that I wanted to get rid of. I would see streamers play my courses only to end up dying in the same spots for the simple reason that I either didn't telegraph an enemy coming up or a course part was being used in an awkward way, retrospectively. Bully Tracker specifically had a nasty "bug" where an enemy on the course would disappear if the player made not-so-specific movements, making the course unbeatable. Hopefully that's fixed now. Enjoy!
Creeper Aquarium: 75D-X6P-FPF
You may or may not have seen a small post about a course I was making about Piranha Creepers that was lackluster, I took some feedback from that post and updated it to a spot I feel I very pretty happy with. It's still not perfect, but I feel it's the best it can be right now and it's definitely ready to be shown off and played!

I spent the last 2.5 hours on the train building a short course. I have never really experimented with the SMW spin jump even as a player and wanted to build a level to make myself more comfortable with it.
It's short and sweet, but the bomb section might be too hard compared to the rest of the level. Let me know if the pacing is off here.
Anyways, trust the Piranha Plants against my "Spinning Sunflowers of Death"

Do you have any favorite makers you follow? I follow someone named Matilder and Matt Thornson. Any recommendations?
I uploaded a new level last night centered around riding thwomps between airships. The level has moderate difficulty and a neat climax.

I played through this and had a good time. The theme was fun and consistent. I do wonder why you used an auto scroll for part of the level though since there is a lot to explore.
I recorded a playthrough of it to test out a new capture card if you want to see how I tackled the course.
Glad you liked it! Yeah, I really had to think about the auto-scroll part and whether I should use it. Without the auto-scroll, I felt the level might have been a bit too laid-back so I put it in to add a little more agency. I experimented without the scrolling, as well as different scrolling speeds, and in the end, I think this was my preferred option. But I understand it's not for everyone. I liked the way you tackled the level! There are definitely multiple ways it can be done, especially in the vertical sections, so it's fun to see everyone's take. Thanks!!
Hi guys, I'm making my first ever level. It's one where you have to collect 5 coins and each one is found by completing short (but difficult and precise) platforming challenges. It's a test of your ability to perform basic hops with no BS random thwomps, etc. etc.
It's pure platforming, just with a touch of difficulty.
Once done, would anyone be happy to give it a whirl?

Man I'm trying to make a 3D world course that uses crates as a puzzle mechanic and man what a mess. It's so hard to get it to do what I want without on/off blocks and one way platforms. The fact that there's no way to get a spike block that will always be activated and have an on/off block together in the same room is maddening, especially since that seems to be the only way for me to prevent the player from cheesing the puzzle
We Love Cats!!
Course ID: WRX-V82-RNG
Tried to make an 'easier' level based around the Cat power-up that my kids (when I have any!) should be able to play. XD Still various hidden bits around of course (3 big coins, red coins, boss fight etc), but they're all optional.
I love cats/3D World so I wanted to make a level with that power-up the instant I saw it was new in Mario Maker 2! Meow!

It's party gamish. They need to fix a few things though, like when someone gets the key people can block the door. It's kind of silly that way. Also adding playing online with friends.
Has Nintendo mentioned Mario Maker Bookmark website or app integration for finding levels?
I hope they don't forget this game and continue to update and add stuff.

They haven't said anything. Hopefully they go with a website and don't expect people to use the damned phone app. 'Cause they won't.
The game seems to be selling really well, though. It was #1 in the NPDs and Famitsu's list this week. I'm sure they'll add stuff. Even the Wii U game got a few updates.
My kaizo got 20 new players overnight and is now at over 5k attempts! Just cool to experience that the system actually works. (Me having an actual legit hard level with low clear rate and it getting visibility from people wanting those levels.)
Playing around with Mario World themes tonight and made a pair of short ones, one multiplayer combat focused, one puzzle focused.

I've made my first multiplayer level. It's a race up a giant beanstalk. It can of course be fun by yourself as well!

The Super Slippery Icy Mountain
ID: YXX Y0B WYG
The snow music for SMB1 is just too good, I had to build a level just to listen to it again and again and again.
It's a medium difficulty platformer where every single surface is slippery and Mario can't seem to stand still. If he wants to cross the Super Slippery Icy Mountain, he will have to go through it.
Enjoy.
(At least enjoy the music.)
My third level came about much faster than my second one!
Cat Mario vs Banzai Bills
Course ID: R1S-50X-8GG
I noticed that in one of the story mode levels, you could get a 10-coin by changing the direction of a Banzai Bill by scratching it with Cat Mario. But as far as I know, that's the only instance of something like that done, so I tried to expand on it with this level, along with a bunch of other Banzai Bill related platforming obstacles. I originally intended for this level to be shorter….but I can't help getting ideas!
Also if anyone's interested, my second level, Escape the Piranha Creeper House, has been attempted 31 times, but no one has cleared it yet. Course ID for that is M99-RN3-DJF

I follow Ever, they make really tough one screen puzzles which I like. They've released 8 so far, 2 of which I haven't been able to solve.
Seanhip2 is also good for one screen puzzles. Slightly simpler than Ever, but he's only released a couple in MM2 so far.
I also follow Barb for very difficult (but probably not Kaizo?) levels. Haven't actually beaten any of his yet but made some progress on the Terminator.
That was pretty fun! You are the first ever person that I played a level from lol
I'm always a little excited when I log on in the morning and get the overnight update, particularly when it's a good number and ratio. Six plays! 50% likes-to-plays ratio! That's a good day.
Then I imagine those people who've had a breakthrough who get a notification in the four, five figures territory, and my heart sinks a little!
These puzzle levels sound interesting, I'll add them, thanks
I logged on to see my last level (Oubliette) had 250 plays, but only 50 likes, that was gutting. It must have been booed too, because it was nowhere in the top 200, and it's had hardly any plays since. Bloody philistines :p
Following Splinter's recommendations earlier in the thread, I've played a few of Ever's, and he's quite right, they really are excellent. Perhaps a little too reliant on being fully aware of some of the more subtle interactions that objects have, but in doing so it's fair to argue that they also serve as a tutorial on that front; indeed, when Ever breaks away from the single-screen you'll sometimes get levels that focus heavily on a single mechanic - there's quite a nice one based around P-switches where you can't jump, for instance!
You should already be grateful your level has been played so many times! :)
My most popular one has barely reached the 100 plays, with most of my levels way, way lower.
Must be some lames who can't super jump for shit.
I really dug it. A really nice and well-presented vertical level based on super jumping off of enemies.
