Sorry for posting this again, but I think it got understandably overlooked in the torrent of levels recently and I'd be grateful for some feedback:
(it's 631F-0000-0033-8E35 if that's hard to read)
I think this is easily the best of the levels I've made so far - I've shown it to a few friends and they agree. I'm trying to figure out if I should refine it further or if it's fine as is.

Well, thanks for playing. I really did try to get a good atmosphere going throughout.
I made the piranha plant room more difficult than the others because it was the first room, but maybe I'll make that one big plant in there smaller. That might solve some issues because the jump over it IS kinda tough.
Seem to be? I got the game today and HOLY SHIT
apparently the only levels possible are "ZOMG STAR POWER ONE THOUSAND ENEMIES" and "I made this while drunk and high"
I'll go through GAFs levels tomorrow, and post my own.

Two more from me
This one is a reworking of my first level but made easier and longer as per criticism received.
This started off as my 1-1 attempt but got a bit too hard. It's not that hard though hopefully.
Both levels are platforming focused.

I'm sorry; I know this has likely been asked plenty of tines already, but how do I post screenshots? I saw people saying something about using the Wii U browser, but how does that work exactly?
Charles Brandon

The way I do it is
Get screen ready for screen shot
Press home
Tap the internet button thing
Navigate to imgur
Sign in
Upload from computer (screenshot will show up)
Upload and save
Navigate to imgur on PC or tablet or phone
Copy and paste link to forum
- Find the moment you want to take a screenshot of.
- Press Home Button
- Go the Internet Browser
- Go to your favourite image sharing site.
- Click upload and it'll bring up a choice of TV or GamePad screen.

Thanks guys, though now I seem to be having an issue where the ID number for levels doesn't display next to where it says "ID". This is the case for my levels and other people's. What's going on?
New level. I'm pretty proud of this one from an atmospheric standpoint and think the boss is pretty good. Would love any feedback!

The use of falling donut lifts to warn of offscreen thwomps was really cool and I liked the boss. good work!
Reposting from earlier in the thread -
I think the most enjoyment I'll get out of 100 Mario challenge will involve this bingo card and alcohol.

1) Making levels with Amiibo characters in which the character has no relevance to the level other than "Hey I made a level where you're Kirby"
2) Thinking that making SMB1 swimming levels which have you swimming among really tight passages lined with spikes is fun.
3) Making a level where the first thing that happens is an enemy falls on your head.
4) Making a level where you go through a door and fall to your doom.
Feel free to add to this list.

In SMB3, SMW and NSMBU you can put it on a ? block and have the player pick it up (Yes, even the spiny), once they have it in their hands pressing down makes them wear the helmet.

Can you edit and reupload your own levels if you find a flaw while not losing coins?

I liked your course a lot, I didn't finish it but I did put it to try again later. I had a LOT of trouble at the part with the flying spiny because each time I would get there it would spawn him in a new area and sometimes, 2 or 3 at once making it real difficult to get around it, I finally once got passed it and then died on the fire rod lol.
5) unwinnable fail states that force you to restart. getting stuck by invisible question blocks is not fun
What I do is press Home, go to miiverse, save to screenshot album, and then go to http://miiverse.nintendo.net on a computer to access my album, copy/paste.
Same basic thing.
Easier!? Is the harder version still uploaded? I died a ton and never finished this one. I saved it to take another stab at it tomorrow though!Two more from me

First course made MM- GAF, what say you?
Mushroom Kingdom Zone V1
60A3-0000-003E-8CDB
A Sonic - themed level, I tried to adhere to the design mindset of having multiple paths that lead to different secrets, encouraging multiple playthroughs. I also attempted to throw in moments that rely on momentum, ala the classics. There are also a couple of shout outs to the Sonic series in general for people to find.
Any and all feedback is appreciated!

I kinda want to make a stage that has all of this and see if I get at least single star for the stage.
I think I would try to go for any other synonym outside of "holocaust." Unless the title happens to be alliterative

Played it, cleared it. I thought it was fun! Something absurd about those flowers bouncing up and down. Whilst it was harder than you might think to time the jumps over the flowers the level was short and had generous power-ups so I don't know why people aren't beating it. I guess there are a lot of shit players out there!

You have to go through a lot of dirt to find the diamonds. Playing through the 100 Mario Challenge I started to understand why Miyamoto was so reluctant to give the masses his tool kit, but then you play some gems on the highly rated list that make it all worthwhile.
That 10% of gems is worth waddling thru the 90% of garbage through! Luckily this thread helps find good levels quickly too.

The harder one is Hop Skip and Jump on my profile. It's shorter but has one bit where you need perfect timing.
Disco Inferno had nerfed that but added more stuff so it should be consistently difficult but without any real spikes. Hopefully it's obvious what you're supposed to do? Takes me a fair few goes to do it too BTW
I got a little lost at the fire flower because the jump to where the Lakitu is difficult to do when all the Goomba are dead so I wasn't sure if it was the right way. One of those things that you do once then realise the mistake though.The harder one is Hop Skip and Jump on my profile. It's shorter but has one bit where you need perfect timing.

Haha those are some amateurs! Make that two completions
That's the first gaffer level I've played and if they're all that good I'm in for a treat. I died 5 or so times at the beginning but once I had that figured out it was smooth sailing. Nice work man, great difficulty levelChris Ticehurst

The second video has been released. It's about a hour's long and there's quite a few harder levels in there that I found interesting to a pain in the ass.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARb0BpFrxFk - Part 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM7BG5rAmKo - Part 1
I'm not sure if I will do Part 3 or not. It depends on the mood of the members here and if the right courses come my way. Tell me what you think and see how the future holds.

Yeah, some levels are just downright terrible.
My level has 1 Star and has been played 10 times, completed 10 times as you can't die in it.
I will not make a 2nd Level until I feel like I have surpassed that level...but then I look at 100-Mario Challenge and realise that I need to make "LOL OMG SO CLUTTERED" levels with Stupid Difficulty to get more stars.

I posted a course here a few days ago, but it was overlooked, though that's understandable in a thread this big.
I decided it was too hard though, so I revised a particular section to be a bit easier. And then I created a second version of the level altogether that was easier in general. Though it's still challenging.
So now there are two levels, and I'd be eager to hear some thoughts!
Greenhouse:
This is the easier of the two.

Mean Greenhouse:
This is the harder of the two.

Testing my capture kit on a pal's Metroid level...

If I find the time I might do a wee design analysis of some of the "better" levels in here. Perhaps my level design experience could prove insightful?
If you specifically want me to do a video, send me a PM and I'll see if I get time this week

Oh for damn sure, and it's one absolutely fantastic game. I am hooked to it, ever since it launched i haven't played on my Xbox One, so that's saying something. Just when you think you are done for a while making a level, you think of new ideas or you just play a few stages for inspiration. I've now made 6 levels in total and the one i am making now is incredibly different than all those, lovely.
My first level:
Jeepers! Yikes!
B05D-0000-003F-22CD
I hadn't unlocked everything by the time I started this so I decided to make a level built around pipes and piranha plants. There's one bit I feel is a bit "ROM hack-y" near the middle but it's my first so... Give it a go!
I look forward to any feedback, and might go back for a revision later on.

Spent waaaaay too long making my first* level.
"A Night In The City"
Shy Guy's woken up today with a headache. What happened last night at Club Star?...
Code: 7F8F-0000-003F-12F3
Not at all a platforming/normal level. More just a random attempt at telling a story, so it should be super easy.
*I made a basic/short ass level that has a 20% completion rate somehow. :|

Yeah I can see how that bit would be confusing. You're supposed to bounce on and past the goombas, fall and veer back to get the flower, kill the plant and get back up to the top, break the blocks to find the hole, use the fire power to kill any spinies that drop down, jump through the hole and proceed.
Reading that back .... Jesus! Needs simplifying .

Game finally came in (4 days late, thanks Amazon), and here's my first main try at a level with my unfortunately limited toolset at the moment.
Please feel free to give any feedback or criticism you have for the level, as I'm trying to build levels that I think would fit in an actual Mario game (as opposed to the ridiculous bullshit we've all been seeing in the 100-Mario challenges).

Is the idea book that comes with SMM available with every new copy or will it be only included for a limited time/first print runs?
So GAF, can you review my level? I posted it earlier in the thread, but I'd like to know the general opinion of the stage.
it currently has a less than 2% completion rate last time I checked and been played by about 500+ people.
I purposely made it difficult, but it really is easy one you got the timing down.
Here's me clearing it.

Would love feedback because I personally think I can make good stages, but I kinda question it as well. lol
