This is me trying to make legitimate mario levels with some occasional, slight twists and my own spin on secrets. Please give it a shot and let me know what you think! I also have another 6 levels you can find on my profile, so please give me a follow if you like what you see!

Haha no, you weren´t suppose to get the feather that way, I´ll have to block the way better. Also, the problem you describe when getting Yoshi is part of the puzzle: just go right until the egg spawns, then go to where you can kick the shell; you can see the moving platform from there, so you just have to time your kick with the platform.
Not once when testing the level did I think of getting to the leftmost part without the feather; I´ll have to look into that too. Thanks a lot for the comments, you´ve given me a lot of ideas to correct the level´s flaws
If you want to try beating it the "correct" way, the order of powerups should be:
mushroom, flower, helmet, Yoshi, feather, starman
Wow! Straight forward, no gimmicks and enough secrets to warrant a replay! Feels like it came from Nintendo themselves.
Great job, no complaints.

This is really stupid as they give you pipes from the very start.
Cheers for the feedback man. Yeah, I know what you mean though. After playing an amazing ghost stage in this very thread, I realised I should aim higher with a ghost stage, so I'm going to give it a shot soon!

Finally finished a remix of Flash Man's level from Mega Man 2! I built it to spec as best as I could, right down to the enemy placement and proper enemy substitute as well as the same amount of blocks used in the original level. Of course the scale is different in Super Mario Maker though. Anyway, I had fun making this so give it a try if you like Mega Man!

These completion rates have me convinced that the majority of today's gamers outright suck at playing video games.
Perhaps this is why Nintendo's modern games are piss-easy compared to those they developed for the NES and even SNES (and, to a limited extent, N64).

<3. Thanks for the play man. Can't wait for this 1-1 contest next month, think there's going to be a lot of good stages around that one theme!
Seriously, I was amazed that level I'm talking about in this post was down in the 30% range before GAF started playing. It wasn't even like some people were skipping in 100 Mario or something, going by attempts to players, a couple failed multiple times.
I feel sorry if any of those people ended up buy New Super Luigi U

Simple as can be with still limited resources, but for a six year old, not a bad first try considering she only watches me play video games and tells me what to do. She might just have a future as a creative design lead.

My level was way less unfair than this. I think what I'm learning is that I either have to make my levels less punishing/easier or I need to fill my levels with utter bullshit just so at least has that interesting super unfair factor that makes for a fun stream.
Or make an autoplay level. The amount of times I get them is annoying, then I look at the stats after and see some with hundreds of stars.

Yeah, my very first level (which you can see here) isn't overly difficult by any means, yet its completion rate sits right around 30% as well. It seriously blows my mind. I figured today's gamers weren't quite as skilled as those in the "old days," but I didn't realize they were this bad.
What I've learned thus far (aside from most people sucking) is that most people also clearly prefer gimmickry over levels that have strong gameplay and replay value.
Ok thanks to the feedback of a fellow Gaffer I have made some adjustments to my level! Would love some feedback on it now, definitely made it friendlier this time around!

I wanna keep uploading but my 10 current levels just don't have exposure 30% means it took an average of 3.x lives to complete. That's normal for a moderate level. It doesn't mean only 30% of players could finish it.

It's a shame nintendo didn't include a way to quick upload videos. I'd really like to see people doing some of these courses. I know I'm probably in the minority but I find this game more fun to watch than play, lol.

Ah, you're right. I guess in that case the percentagees are more reasonable, then.
Sure, why not

Tips:
Show ahead of time that blue platforms fall. Better to have the death fall completely on the shoulders of the player since you taught them first. Also, the spin jump at the height of jumps isn't known by a lot of people (evidenced by the death spots) so maybe make the player jump high and have some coins at the peakread ZR or something.
Also, you can take the Lakitu cloud over the first few set of spikes, making the level WAY easier.
Once I got the flow down, it was fun to use muscle memory and memory-memory to follow the coins (well, most of them) to victory.
Oh, I thought it was on players as well. At least the % still matched up at the time which threw me!
No level from me today so the second level I've come across at random that I feel like sharing:
Take your time (but hurry up!) by BoukenLou
As you might imagine, time is tight and you have to run. But this SMB3 level, while short, is well laid out. Not hard so much as hectic -- in a good way!
FF93-0000-003C-16B7
Well said. Anyone who has a shortcut to those eyeballs, I can't begrudge them for it -- if you're proud of a good level, why wouldn't you tell everyone? -- but the game doesn't do a good job of evening that out for those who don't.
A lot of people on 100-Mario try a level like once and give up. If you think completion rates are low, compare the number of players to the number of completes. It's ridiculous.

I just wish I could watch people playing my stages so I can see what people are having trouble with.
The problem is, if you go in and play 100 Mario mode or even just use the course finder, that's the impression you come away with in general. Nintendo really have to patch in some way of finding courses people want to play who want a Mario experience or at least another platformer experience and want to go away from the autoplay and the enemy spam.
Some of the levels in here are genuinely great, but a lot of people uploading are either kids or just uploading some bullshit because they can and if Nintendo doesn't want others to have a similar impression, they need to act.
If someone buys this because they want to play and see what the world has to offer, they're going to have a bad time.
Same. At the very least, see the trace of Mario's movement like we can see when playing around in the editor
Oh, you can also get Yoshi early by
using the P switch at the beginning twice to get through the blocks on the right and either run through the flowers or using the shell of the red Koopa to clear the flowers

All the excitement of teaching players how a few things work SMW style.
Witness enemies slowly strolling towards you in a way that will make you think "I better jump up here!", marvel at the coins directing you to exciting discoveries and you don't even need the run button.

I don't think you need to change it at all. It was a fun challenge, with only that last Thwomp confusing me for a bit (my own fault).

Hmm, my level was beaten in the first try on stream. It was one with very low completion.
If you could run through this very short level of mine multiple times (or download it and move yourself around), I'd appreciate it. There are five different paths with different themes that will all lead to a different route to the flag at the end. I'd like a guinea pig to give me feedback on it as a whole. I feel like most just run through it once and only get to see like a fifth of the work I've put in.
The themes of each path are: a standard (albeit short) level, a coin vault, a mysterious factory, flora taking over through years of neglect, and an infestation.

Man this is the second time i enjoyed your clever stages, love the digging aspect and the puzzle to get into the pipe. Anyways got a saying if it happens twice it'll probably happening thrice, time to replay and try to find the other ways to complete it.
subscribed can't wait to play some more of your stages.
Super Fun stage and great boss fight at the end, was pretty surprised when i found the secret at the end was ready to stand my ground against the asshole. It really felt like i was exploring the castle, maybe if u added a bit more routes to explore and find things would make the stage even better.I really wanted to make a SMW caste stage, love the music. It's called Bowser Jr. Well Protected: 1252-0000-0043-54D1. I'd love to get some feedback and feel free to check out my other courses.
Super fun and challenging, was getting frustrated with all the thomps. till i found the helmet.. then lost it instantly cause i had to make a jump under a thowmp and lost it cause it was too low.. my only complaint really other wise it was a fantastic stage, hard but not unfair. except the thwomp thing..

You should be able to click on the x's on your map to see exactly that.
Made a speedrun version out of one of my levels:
Andarro's Plains Speedrun
F8FD-0000-0043-0153
It's the exact same as the normal level, but ou only have 30 seconds to beat it. I managed it in 24, the fastest I've seen was 21. Since you have a few seconds leeway you may actually be able to play it safe at a few tight spots.
Next time I do something like this, I build the speedrun version first and then just increase the time for the normal version. xD

This is true, but the editor is still fantastic and intuitive and like you said many levels are pretty good, so i think there's really no need to say the game is crap and to do such a generalization; i also found it pretty insulting towards all the people who are busting their asses to make good levels, i read people here saying that it took them many hours to make one. Sure, there's a lot of poorly designed courses as well, but i think it's normal: like any other game you have to understand how it works before getting better, i have no doubts that many people will improve their output by keep designing levels and understanding their flaws (especially with the help of the community, playing other people's works and reading other people's feedbacks means a lot here), whilst others will keep making bad stuff for the reasons you said. Still, this is not an issue caused by the game, which in fact gives you the best, simplest and most intuitive tools to make really good stuff, and many levels already are out there to prove this fact.
Yea, I'm rather proud of the way I set-up that last Thwomp. Wanted the stage to end on a slightly novel note, but I didn't want to challenge players TOO hard by that point.
Thanks!

I play the gaf levels to completion. But I will only deal with 100 man mario bullshit to a degree. The shit in Expert is fucking awful full stop

HE SAID HE LIKED MY ONE! i'M SO HAPPY!
Thanks. I played and starred two of your levels. The 'Trial By Fire' and the 'Assault the Machine Fort' levels. I starred both but didn't finish either. I died at the bosses (?) a lot and it was a bind to have to keep going back. It's a shame because the levels are well designed but I think your levels, more than many I have played, suffer through lack of checkpoints. A checkpoint just before the boss room would have been a godsend for me. I wanted to continue but having to start again was a bit of a downer.
All that being said, the levels are really well designed, With the exception of one or two elements that annoyed me - those FUCKIN lava cheeps
I really need to chill out with the hazards hahaha and yes, i would love to have check points because so far all my levels have off beat Bosses, i have an obssesion for Boss fights...
...And vertical levels, i REALLY need to make something that is not vertical, but right now it's not the day because...

I legit think this one is on the easy side because i put many power ups around and there is no boss battle in the end. Inspired by the Banjo-Tooie level of the same name. Unsurprisingly, yes, it's a vertical action heavy level.
Sounds like you're the guy now.
