Here's my newest one:
Temple of Thwomp
Temple of Thwomp
I spent a lot of time on this one, and I think its my best level yet, please give it a try and let me know what you think!
Original level, do not steal:
Bridge Zone 1 (Sonic Game Gear)
Course ID: 3PM-5M9-P9G
Difficulty: Normal
Multiplayer Friendly?: Yes
It's probably been done before but I felt compelled to remake the Bridge Zone from Sonic for the Game Gear/Master System. The level design in that game always felt like the developers were given some vague idea of what Sonic would be and then they just went and made Mario levels.

Minecart Mayhem: Thwomp Canyon
00P-HC5-LXF
I tried my hand at making a level inspired by DKC Minecart levels, where you just have to jump while traveling quickly. No steering needed.
I used 3D World and the Koopa Car. All deadly jumps have a red arrow, and there are 2 checkpoints.
I put many hours into it, and would appreciate anyone who could take a couple minutes to give it a go. It's got plenty of jumps and plenty of theatrics. :)
Best car course I played so far. Felt very Donkey Kong Country like. Well done!
Fixed an issue people were having in my last level and reuploaded!
Forgotten Fortress
Y0L-MVL-1RG
Looking for feedback before I move on to new levels, so it would be much appreciated! :)
If stuck in the room with the notes:
I love what you did with the thwomps in this, very creative. Although, I got soft locked after the checkpoint when I accidentally killed the second thwomp with a pow block and that was kind lame 😅 I will finish it when my switch charges though, it was really cool :)

I wanted to do a Mario World take on the classic Airship for awhile and settled on something of a theme.
Hot Airship Balloon Assault
92G-L2W-1RG
"Grab 5 red coins and avoid tool throwing minions aboard hot air balloons!"

That's a great idea! I've played every 2D Sonic game, enjoyed this immensely.

Haha nice. I'm making something along the same lines as my next stage but from a different game.
That
key part

Fun one! I really need to unlock that powerup myself sometime lol
I made a superball level. You're put into a series of rooms and have to shoot bob-ombs to trigger switches, but the switches add obstacles and enemies to avoid. It's pretty easy, I probably give out too many superball flowers, but I'm very happy with the way it turned out overall, it feels like a good twist on the superball formula that I hadn't seen yet.

I'm sure other people have experienced that little panic when you realize that an obstacle you were proud of in a course you uploaded can be bypassed in a simpler way.
Thanks Matilder, that means a lot to me.
I'm looking forward to see what you do next, by the way. :)
If you guys want to play a Metal Gear Themed level, my brother made a really cool one. Its called Metal Goomba Solid and the course ID is V7L-H3D-QNF. Its actually smartly utilizes MGS' element of stealth into a Mario level and the alert system is cleverly designed.

Good quick level. Tough in spots, especially the spike stairs. But I enjoyed it enough to stick with it and beat it.My first level. A simple, quick, speed run-geared level. Please check it out? 80M 1BQ TJF
Thanks, it was actually a little more difficult but I didn't want it to be ruthlessly demanding, only a little :)
Thank you for sharing. The level was super cool with lots of great moments, including the boss fight. Your brother is very clever.
Super Mushroom World Odyssey is now complete. Yes, it ends at 4-4, because I only get 32 slots, and don't really want to make 4 levels in all of the themes either. The basic idea was to make a Super Mario Bros 3 inspired game with themed "Lands", but with the SMB 1-4 structure, and using all the game styles, except 3D Land because it kinda sucks. You play through 3 regular levels and then fight Bowser and chase him out of the Land in the 4th, even if it's not a traditional Bowser castle. I tried to take inspiration from the games representing the style I used for the level, except for NSMB. I took a lot of inspiration for the SMB and NSMB levels from Lost Levels, which I recently played. I tried making levels that were short, felt pretty challenging for me, and didn't use a ton of Mario Maker gimmicks.

Hey everyone, I tried something different this time around, can someone give it a try and leave some feedback? I never tried making an exploration/collection type level so kinda testing the waters with that. Thanks in advance.

I've been enjoying these for the most part, so I encourage others to check these out. I'll be sure to continue where I left off with playing as well! Congrats on completing this!
Hey everyone, finally made a new level. This is level number 5 and its a sort of themed level. It follows our hero travelling in a unknown planets caverns only to ascend to the surface during a huge storm and discover the remains of those before. I made it using a combination of underground and night airship themes in SMB3. I think its another cool thematic level. Would appreciate if yall could play it and tell me what you think :)

There are several different mechanics in this level that less experienced players won't be familiar with... Namely the need to toss the spring up and catch it while going up the vine to get into the top pipe. A few spots were also cheeseable. In the room where you are supposed to outrun the shell before it hits the on/off it is easier to just wait and let the shell despawn. The other room with the on/offs and with munchers has a softlock just above the springs.
I'm also not sure why you essentially created two clear conditions. You need both the red and yellow coins to finish. I think the level would be better if you picked one or the other.
I made a level of POW riding stuff I thought was neat. This one isn't too tough.
5XB-TL5-T1G
For the first section, you are leaping on a POW and riding it for a bit. For the last section, you are stacking the launchers on the single flying POW, in case it isn't apparent.

I just played a new mario game, congrats buddy!. You did some really inspired work here. And built levels. Hopefully these levels rise to the top and we can get some more course upload room for you. Or patreon you money to start buying more Nintendo online accouts at the least.

Fun level. The short time limit is good because these types of levels if they go on too long are not my thing. I enjoyed it.

Was pretty fun. Never played that sonic game but enjoyed the sonic like elements
Made another short and traditional SMB 1 course. I've designed it with speedrunning in mind, so there are a couple of possible shortcuts to explore, if that's your kinda thing. My personal record is 18 seconds.
Good course. It had the right kind of difficulty and the obstacles were introduced gradually.
Loved this!! What a clever mechanic for the alarm system!
Created my 2nd level and first themed level Just Right. Give it a shot and suggest any things I should change. My lovely girlfriend helped with the sound effects in the 2nd area lol.

And I remade my first level since after 29 playthroughs only 1 person managed to clear it and made it a bit easier.

Really enjoyed this, little house of horror. I had some trouble with the first checkpoint because if you die after that but before the first circle of ghosts there are no power-ups, I found it easier to restart the level and get to that point with a power-up handy. I loved the slippery ice with the ice picks above!
Thanks. I will keep making levels, just less often 'cause I gotta play that Blazing Chrome game now.
Awesome level, I loved the vertical aspect, it felt very open and I wasn't 100% sure if I was going the right way but I was, no backtracking! There are multiple paths to the finish right? I really liked the dead fish hidden in some of the box as well as the floating goombas (how do you do that btw?)
I've made eight levels, and while I love this game, it's missing a lot. Especially when it comes to enemies. I realize they want parity with the other layouts, but SMW is missing some truly iconic baddies that I wish I could use in the course maker.
The little dudes that fly at you and Chargin' Chuck among others are notably absent. Also, I want that weird green floating ball.

Just wanted to say, I loved the theme of this level! Obviously not dificult or anything (though I have yet to see a difficult and engaging super ball level outside of a breakout-inspired level), but still fun all the same!
Thanks for the feedback! This level has hit the charts and had moderate blow-up, the downside is the comments are full of memes now :/
I just had to do this because I was reminiscing about a "fond" childhood memory on the NES. I tried to recreate it as faithfully as possible :p

Here's a couple of levels I've made. The first is an auto scrolling bridge level and the second is a boss rush level with themed matches.

Hi, I was wondering how you made these pictures to share your level ? Do you have some templates somewhere ? I guess you use screenshots you took yourselves from the game ?
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Can't believe I missed that softlock at the end
By thinking time do you mean the timer was too short? It's definitely something I hadn't considered, I must remember to extend it before I release my next level.
It was particularly frustrating because it's very much a literal interpretation of "thinking outside of the box", I thought I was onto something!
It was fine for the core level, but I needed a bit more time to puzzle over the final secret, there's a reasonable amount of exploration and experimentation that's required (if you look at my comments in the level, at one point I got most of the way through the puzzle and then went completely the wrong way at the end!
On which note, a checkpoint would have been nice - I must have played through those first few rooms *so* many times - but I'm not sure if there's a sweet spot where one could have been put without getting in the way of the design.
One musing that's a "could go either way" opinion:
The core level is generous with giving replacement key items, but the extra puzzle does have one or two places where it gives you a resource and only one opportunity to use it. I think that's okay for a hard extra puzzle, but my word I was angry when I cheerfully bashed that ? block... while still wearing a spiky helmet!
Next ERA contest theme should be slow underwater autoscrollers because I'm convinced it's impossible to create anything good from that. :P
Also I only just noticed the levels from competition #1 are out because they are under Highlights and not under Threadmarks.
Should get around to play a couple of these over the weekend.

Uploaded my second effort! I think the first went pretty well with 5% clear, almost 50% like ratio.
This one is some fun SMW sky platforming with a bunch of skewers just doin' what they do.

Ok, maybe it's late and I am having a brain fart but how do I make that first jump... am I missing something super obvious here??
Wow!!! Amazing... this is the type of level that makes me realize there are people out there on a whole other level when it comes to setting the mood and design.... Gotta mess with sound effects more..
