Don't forget to use the handy spin jump in the NSMBU style.

Noted and appreciated. I'm kind of attached to that bit because it requires such precise timing but yeah, it's hard as balls. I can't even do it consistently. I guess I need to find a way to keep it in but make it more forgiving. And yeah, could do with being a little longer.
Thanks

Thanks! I couldnt work out what else to add so finished it when I did haha.
Please have a go of my level.

Cool. That's an interesting and quite helpful video.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes I suppose that jump is a bit hard, I struggle finding that good balance in difficulty
Of course I had to play the one with a title involving slaughter. Very fun! Somehow I managed to carry a spring all the way through the airborne section. Got confused and killed at the boss after the invincibility stars. Probably the airborne autoscroll section is a bit too long and slow so I have no desire to go through it all again. Also probably a few too many enemies and cramped in places. Otherwise a fun design and a thrilling adventure while it lasts!Play my four

I think I had a decent concept for a level but I think I may gotten a bit lazy/introduced random concepts with the sub map and it could be tightened up a bit so feedback would be nice. I've been told I'm too mean with the lack of mushroom so I know I need to look into that (but I fear it would break the level since smashable block are part of the aesthetic I'm going for).
One tip, remember hammer bros have a simple pattern if you're patient and observant.

I've been hard at work creating a full four worlds worth of courses and I'm halfway there. I'm trying to create stages with increasing difficulty that could seem like an actual progression of Nintendo made courses. I'm dying for feedback other than "Too many coins" or "It's OK..."

That's the only Mario skill that I have struggled with. No idea why
A bit over springs and Metroid, so I went with Mushroom Split. Very fun, fair, though a little random in places with no clear idea; I'm presuming there were two alternative paths? I went along the upper one if so. I think there could be more of a unifying idea. I liked the idea of the bullet bills on the moving platforms. Otherwise, pretty cool work!
I woke up this morning to check my level and it has 8 stars!!!! The most of any of my levels!!! It has a clear rate of 23%, which I thought it would be higher... so I might want to edit it.
If anyone wants to check it out, here is the ID for SUPER MARIO BOMBSKET-BALL!!! Go get yo-self a DUNK!

Thanks. Yes, there are several opportunities to continue on a lower path.
Btw., that "spring" in the title was meant as the season not those trampolines. Only occured to me afterwards that that could be misunderstood.
Well a tip for the final boss if you do play it again, I only use arrows when there's a reason to, not to denote the direction you have to follow
So after playing that Metroid U level and thinking about what you said, I think I'll scrap that kind of cryptic secrets and just put a respawning leaf in the sub-boss room. It will make the level a bit easier, but also a lot less frustrating.
Now I feel like I actually learned something about game design haha. Thanks!
Can't wait to get home to fix it and re-upload it.

Since I got Mario Maker I've been toying with this Splatoon-themed level in my head. Its based on the level where the paths are invisible and you paint to reveal them. I thought about doing the same with hidden blocks and use coins (shot from pipes etc) to reveal them temporarily.
Now that I finally unlocked hidden blocks (didn't time skip or play a lot), I tried making the level, but I discovered you can fall right through unrevealed hidden blocks, and they can only be revealed by hitting it from the bottom. Does anyone have any idea for a workaround? I just want something you can stand on thats invisible.

Hope you enjoy it, I thought it was a pretty neat concept, although the execution could have been slightly better.
Woops, missed this! Gave me a bit of a SMB2 vibe at the start for some reason. Was very good until I started getting pummelled by a goomba throwing lakitu I had no warning about, otherwise pretty fair and satisfying level. Lakitu cloud I initially used backfired when I fell in your final gap. lolHere is the second stage I made. I think it's better than my first one.
Please comment or critique. Anything to help me improve would be great.

You'd probably have to use something like the P switch and have a trail of coins where you want platforms. Can you put flying wings on coins in Mario Maker? If so maybe you could do those to make the platforms feel more organic?

Appreciate you taking the time to play a bunch of levels and leave feedback for everyone. I might do something similar this weekend when I have more time

Thank you. Appreciate every feedback. Also it shouldn't take you long it's a short one.

I'm so damn sick and tired of these auto-Rube-Goldberg machine levels... these "gimmick" levels and sadistically, ultra-difficult levels!
I need a way to weed out all that trash and find well-made, fun and not rage-educing levels.
Guess i'll just have to keep making my own lol.
I'll post a few up here eventually.
Anyone have any good suggestions for someone who just wants more classic SMBW-esq levels?

I've been debating to get rid of the Lakitu to be honest, but I wanted some kind of enemy variety since I don't have much unlocked.
The problem is the level doesn't scroll up to account for him being there. I've been spamming all kinds of blocks on the Maker and I haven't gotten past the Underwater unlocks yet.
In any case. That is the maximum length of a stage not including the sub-level. So once I get the sublevel unlocked I can double my stage sizes.
I just played through his (assuming this is real IGA) 2 CV stages and the original CV stage shares lots of similar ideas with my stage, kind of interesting coincidence
Going with water resistant as I haven't done any water in a long while. Was fun, but probably a little too simple filled with at least 50% too many enemies to compensate. Try a level that's a little bit longer with slightly easier sections that makes the player feel rewarded for getting through them onto the next, not a huge sigh of relief. Otherwise good start! I died in the 5 1up area and was determined to go back again and get them all and finish itHere are mine that ended up being the last post in the previous page:

I always forget about the spin jump. I think I'll just switch it to mario 3 when I get home today. Thanks!

After having very little interest in this I watched a few of the more interesting levels and caved and ordered it.
I always wanted to mess around with creating games, I hope this will be the thing that finally gets me into game creation.
That Waluigi level looks like the highlight so far.

Metroid 1 - Tourian
Edit: almost forgot the code (09CE-0000-003A-BB19)
Video play through (note that I show some secrets and tricks to beating the level):
https://youtu.be/yTocC6UAzBc
This is a remake of the Tourian area of the first Metroid. I went for accuracy, but the lack of vertical areas cuts some of the level short. It's pretty tough I think, especially the final area. Metroid vets may mistakenly assume you have to shoot your way through. I can beat it every other try but that's probably only because I know the patterns by heart. Here's hoping we get meltable ice blocks as dlc.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
After playing a bit, I have to say that keeping physics consistent across styles while granting slightly different item/ability sets was the right call for the dev team to make.
Switching between physics from one level to another would be a bit too jarring, but it's nice to be able to still design around specific game rules.

EDE3-000-0034-299C - I'm pretty proud of the timing on the one saw blade. You'll know it when you see it.
By far my favourite level yet. Simple, effective, great design and atmosphere, perfect amount of enemies (for a somewhat challenging castle level of course), did it on my first attempt but still felt like I accomplished something challenging.
Would recommend! <3
Took me about 10 tries, pretty good level, and doesn't take long to get back to the part where you fail. Becomes quite easy if you figure out the easy way to the spike jumpsI decided to try my hand at a single screen level, and ended up taking inspiration from 1001 Spikes. Hopefully it's not too difficult. I can beat it pretty easily and well within the 100 second time limit.

just walk and jump, don't run
You can cheat and draw a massive square of blocks and just copy and paste it a lot.

Agreed. One big oversight is not being able to easily jump in the levels from your friend's list contacts. You have to literally write down a level code and then follow them. There should be a specific category that lists all of your friend's courses without the haggle.
Also, while the online is serviceable I just don't see the top most starred changing soon, which is a shame because they're pretty meh. A lot of "don't move" levels with the odd N64 or whatever "remake." The most interesting levels are buried way down or somewhere else completely. It's a crappy category.
I've posted a few stages here and there, but I'd like to put all my levels in one place for you all to test them out.
Falling With Style: My first stage. It's not all that easy and I had barely unlocked anything at this point.
A70C-0000-001F-77F9
Monado Speed: Pretty much a speed run, but I did add some help to those who don't like to shoot through the stage.
6E64-0000-002D-002E
Castle Boss Punch: My attempt at a castle stage. It's not really easy.
58F7-0000-0037-E804
Sci-fi Thrusters: Run of the mill Airship stage. Definitely my best stage yet, and fun. It has it's little secrets, but it's prety straight forwars, and I followed the themes fairly well.

I really hope they add some pallete swap backgrounds. SMW didn't have many unique ones but the different colour added so much variety.
Place a block so they bounce back.
