Super Mario Maker 2 |OT| The (Super Mario) World Ends with You

I couldn't beat this but I really enjoyed the mechanics, especially using Mario's mid-air jump to go from Koopa to Koopa. Thwomps with wings are adorable lol
This is a great idea and really well executed, and I found it less frustrating than the original version. As soon as I saw the rotating firebar it gave me flashbacks to Turtles. Well done!
so QuixoticNeutral alerted me to this stage. I have to give it a shout out!
This is EASILY the best cat-based 3D world stage I've ever played!
The use of diving, canceling it, and cat sliding is just astounding. The level flows really well too, I don't think I even noticed how many times I died, I just kept on trucking till I got to the end!
You're other cat course, Dive Cancel Derby (the code for thsoe that don't know, is BTR-H7H-8LG) looked like another great twist on the concept. I haven't mastered it yet, but I like how despite the clear condition, you designed the stage so you can practice after failing too. I'll be taking more cracks at that later for sure!
Thank ya. Its good the level felt open. There is actually only 1 way to finish it. Actually an entirely linear level. Just has a lot of places to poke your head in and look for stuff.
Floating Goomba's is using the night version of the airship theme

I've commented on a few levels but please continue sharing your best levels in your reply and I'll check them out :)
Mario Max: Fury Road
ID: 7FN-J75-RFF
Difficulty: Easy
Description: Witness! Ride eternal, speed past the WarKoopas and conquer the Fury Road!
Very welcome for feedback! I think it's a concept that I want to make more difficult for next time.

I made it on the easier side because of the low clear rate on my previous car level. Ultimately, I think I spent more time trying to build a level that creates the feeling of almost making it when in reality you are safe most of the time. I think I spent 5-6 hours building the rough draft and 3-4 hours tweaking and play-testing.
You have to spin jump on the thwomp. If you mean the one after it, it just requires a good running jump to clear the gap. The beginning is basically just there to tell you "you'll need to know how to do these things in particular for this course."
That was probably among the few 3D World levels that felt like it had a fun "story", which is worth a heart in my book! I also enjoyed your "Race Against the 'Shroom" level (code is 9YY-5TY-RXF). i'm not actually sure if outspeeding the mushroom makes the difference, but it felt like a unique twist on the average speed run level to me at the least!
Anyways, while most people know me for creepypasta-like levels, but the level I probably spent the most effort on was a level based around plumbing, called Plumbing Pandemonium!
code is 21W-GKN-KXF, and here's a short video that gives you a picture of the concept.
Idea is, it's almost like a 2D Wet Dry World, where you drain the water, and the level changes a bit. You're goal is to unclog pipes, and do some light puzzle solving to get to the end (with even the boss fights having a few simple puzzle elements). After every checkpoint, there's a difficulty boost too, with the last one in particular seeing to get people! If you want a hint for that part..
Don't super bounce on the wigglers at the end, try to run across them, its possible to bump across them with the run button if you time it right!
This was a fun ride! I loved the visual appeal with the other drivers and such. That said, it was a lot of "hold left/right" for most of the level. However, it was cool to see how it all played out and I can tell there was a lot of effort put into it!
A few things I want:
- ability to edit levels with friends online (particularly for QA and allowing them to comment and annotate your level to give feedback)
- make actual overworlds and string levels together (make it themed too, e.g. SMB3 or SMW style overworlds)
- 3D world to have more basic functionality
- a bookmark website like in the first game (easier to share levels)

Didn't finish it, found the 2nd half to be too frustrating to complete without a mushroom. All of the somewhat random patterns the tracks are going in makes it relatively difficult to dodge things properly and you should have provided a mushroom or two to help ease the pain a little. I also would have liked to see the bridge sections connecting the castle rooms to be more developed, currently they feel like wasted space.
Neat, though I admit I've never cared for the stacked cloud block/mushroom tower, since moving around them can be tough.
Cool, though some of the areas were a little cramped and I think it would have been better if you had used scroll stop to rein in the vertical space, perhaps using a door to bring the player to another area if you wanted it to end in the open air space. You should try out my level to see some other examples of what you can do with a superball levelI posted my first superball level on here yesterday, but would like to see if anyone else would like to play it before I create my next

I was about to save you should give the player a mushroom, but then the level ended. I liked it, though I felt like there were a couple small bits where there was too much going on (particularly the skull platform with those dry bones and the cannon directed right at the conveyor belt) that would have felt better to tackle as big Mario.
Good, though I think you could improve the flow from element to element in future levels. I'm a big fan of this 20 second speedrun trend in Mario Maker 2, for some reason it seemed like they were never this popular in the first gameMy first level. A simple, quick, speed run-geared level. Please check it out? 80M 1BQ TJF
Sorry, wasn't feeling this one, never been a fan of troll blocks with enemies inside
I liked this one, though I couldn't figure out how to beat it and ran out of time. The shell room was the only one I couldn't figure out
It will be interesting to see how Nintendo handles updates with SMM2, will the focus on adding more items across styles where it makes sense (like fire bros into the other 4, or the claw to 3d world), will they focus solely on adding new stuff to the main styles, or will the focus on just adding the other extra style that is teased in the menu.
Was there ever any more speculation on the date that shows up at the end of story mode? Haven't heard anything about it since the first day or two.
Ok, I think I just uploaded the finest level yet. I had one thing in mind with this one. I set a challenge. Is it possible to give a Switch to a 1 year old for 2 minutes and have them make a beatable Mario Maker level? Well that question has finally been answered. Please play my, although not actually my, latest creation.
A 1 year old. 2 minutes. Go!

...I don't think I've seen that, what's the context? In the credits reel?
When you beat the story mode after the credits roll, the score turns into a date. Looking into it now it seems like people were getting different dates. I thought today's dates was one of them, but all I'm finding online is 6/27 or 6/28 which would be the release date.
Might just be nothing, but thought there were other dates seen.
Is that a date, or a count of completion of some sort?
I haven't noticed it. Able to see it again by using [REDACTED] to re-roll the credits?
It's the date you completed the story mode, so it's different for everyone. One of the first guys to post the credits pre-release had his date set to late October for some reason so it kind of looked like it was hinting at something but it isn't
Ah ok, kind of a weird thing to have at the end of the credits.
I could see them doing a lot of work to 3D World. Which I think is time better spent on something else, but maybe they can make it so I'll actually want to use it.
Besides that, I guess Toad rescuing and heavy stone will be added later. It would be cool if you could set the character you rescue. Like maybe make it Mario. I would also want to set the player character. That would really help with themes. I'd make a Luigi's Mansion level and rescue Mario, for example.
I'm not that wedded to the concept of Toad rescuing, it seems mostly a nothing concept (since in many situations, a danger that will hit a Toad is also a danger that will hit *you*). Although it showed some potential in the final such level
Where you're wrangling a whole 'snake' of ten toads, so you have to be much more aware of the time the tail makes to complete the move you're executing.
Yeah I'm not that excited for Toads, although they could be useful thematically I guess.
Way more interested in the heavy block though. That thing would be incredibly useful for puzzle levels.
Thanks for checking it out. I agree with your comment on the flow, I was aware of it and kinda did my best with it for this level conceit. I'm gonna try to improve.
Really wish there was a way to check your maker profile online. Would be cool to check on level stats and comments while not on the actual game. Also, bookmarks people damn.
Here's a hard NSMBU castle stage. It contains two boss battles and relies mostly on Thwomp mechanics. Enjoy!

That's basically Yoshi's Island with 1 and Mario vs DK Minis with more. Doesn't sound like nothing to me.
Yoshi's Island has a very different structure because Yoshi is fundamentally immune in and of himself. In YI, if you take a hit, you have to swap to rescue mode; in Mario Maker, if you take a hit, you might die outright.
Yoshi's Island is entirely about safeguarding the baby. Mario Maker, on the other hand, puts the onus on protecting yourself *first*, and through protecting yourself you will almost always also be safely protecting the Toad.
Mario vs DK - at least, those titles in the series that I've played (that had the 'procession' setup, I should mention, given that later titles didn't really!) - didn't particularly often have the 'snake' aspect matter; it looked nice but in many cases there was little to no puzzle aspect relating to it.
Thanks ^^
thats some big praise!
The cat suit is my favorite thing in the game so i wanted to try and make levels that make the most out of their mechanics.
Maybe there is a perfect setting where both the platform and the water are going up and down with the same speed, either on tracks or without.
So no, there is no option to do so per se, but you can experiment a little bit and maybe something works.
Thanks for the feedback! I was worried about the time constraints, I was hoping they would put a no limit option but alas I had to opt for the highest possible. The shell room is a little tricky yeah but once you realize you need to stand on the 3 vertical blue blocks and jump up from there it all makes sense :P
Also someone just commented my level is cheeseable with a soft lock spot...what does that mean exactly? I tried checking where he tagged those comments but I couldn't figure out what the issue was.

Yeah, in 3D world, the boxes float. There's actually a really good level I could recommend for this, but don't have the code right now. It uses the rising water with launchers on boxes to work as a timer to get to the end of the section.
Was a really good level.
I've said it many times since launch, but I miss the SMM1 bookmark site like crazy. You couldn't see comments, but it was much easier to pull out profiles/codes to share with people when away from the game, queue individual levels for later (which you can't really do at all in SMM2, in a baffling omission), and I also liked getting a bird's-eye-view of a creator's whole body of work in terms of scale or difficulty level. I would never have been able to do my big SMM1 catch-up earlier this year without it. It's quite clunky for me right now to dig up codes for levels I played a while ago but want to share, which is what I did for that amazing 3DW advanced cat-dive level discussed further up the page; I have to drop whatever I'm in the middle of doing in-game and comb through my subscriptions and likes.
As said above, crates in the 3DW style do this job exactly. If you want to look at a demo of a number of different things you can do with this mechanic, this is actually one of the ideas my level Flame War on a Series of Tubes (XSJ-LF2-CCG) explores pretty extensively, and I've seen a few other 3DW forest levels play with it as well.

I understand when there is a thematic or gameplay reason for it, but too many level creators are guilty of not using progressive powerups. I'm not sure if it's because they don't know how or if they just don't want to. It is especially disappointing when playing traditional-style levels where progressives really should be expected.
For the record, you put a mushroom over the other powerup to make it progressive.

I found the level code for a really good example. It's a hard level but it's so so good! You can check it out to see how he uses the water as a timer.

The level is visually very nice but I think it's too tightly packed and difficult to navigate through. the height between the base and the balloons on some of these is really too low imo. You also need to use coins or adjust platform heights a bit so there is less blind jumping vertically. The boss fight was good though.
I'd also just recommend this level in general. May be my favorite 3D world level so far that I've seen. It's pretty hard, but the short speed burst type rooms are really cool.

Thank you, next time I make a level that's more vertical I'll keep that in mind to spread it out and give more indication of where the player will be headed!
Thanks, great level! I like how the bullet bills float on the surface too!
Anyone else just sticking to only one game style?
I've only been playing the 3d world levels so far and they're really fun.

Very nice. I usually don't like car levels, but yours have lots of room for errors. I liked it.
Took me a lot more than I thought, but I finally beat it. Have science gone too far?
Got lost at it, lol. Will try again later.
Solid level. I didn't find it too hard. On the Boom Boom Boss fight this is just a personal gripe but I don't like lava bubbles coming up in fights like this because it's not telegraphed and it's too easy to hit the player amidst the action. I didn't actually get hit granted but it's still a pet peeve of mine.
Fun level. Took me the whole timer to beat. The spring shell part is confusing though.
I think its a combination of not knowing how and also not being capable of making a level that doesn't break when you up the power up beyond big Mario. A lot of levels with progressive power ups just break the second you get the cape or the fire flower because the creator can't account for the abilities. I agree its disappointing.
Also, you can also make a power up progressive by holding it. The option to add a mushroom pops up.
Thanks!
I've picked up several useful tips on here to apply to my future levels, resetera has a great community.
