He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
You get:
# of players who starred your level
# of players who played your level
# of times the level has been cleared
# of times the level has been attempted (total number of tries, not number of unique players)
clear percentage (times cleared / times attempted)
People have mentioned that you can also view the exact places where people have died on your level but I don't see an easy way to get that to show up without also playing it and just dying at specific screens to see the other deaths at that screen.
Hey, stop sequence-breaking my level! XD
I thought I had blocked that path, it must have reopened in a later edit., I´ll have to redo that part. We really need taller levels, I ran out of space vertically and it´s not like the level´s big or anything. Let´s see if I can squeeze some blockades there...
Unfortunately I'm not always on GAF and this thread moves really fast so I'll probably miss it again.
Your last shout for it was around 2 AM for me.I should really tell my boss to not require me to actually show up to get paid!
They really need to make a way to do this. I would love to be able to look at this.
This is way late (didn't notice this post until now, sorry), but you can bounce on thwomps by spin jumping without getting hurt. Thanks for playing though!

Don't think anyone played this so would really appreciate your feedback. Especially on the boss fight. Tried to make it fun but also slightly original. Thing is, it relies on certain things happening so not sure if it is always possible to get past. Yes, I'm asking you to QA my level XD. As always if you play with mine, I'll play with yours 😉
You can see some glowing red crosses on the zoomed out level overview. You may have to complete the course first, not sure about that. Also, I don´t know if all deaths show or if they are somehow grouped by proximity, in some of my maps the amount of deaths and crosses didn´t match.
Just thought I'd post my levels. Most of them are moderately tough. Give feedback if you'd like, I'd appreciate it. Will go through levels before me and check them out.
DA9D-0000-0044-F7D4 - The Trap House
Very puzzley. Hidden stuff and interesting puzzles (I think)
2730-0000-003F-F9AA - Only Go Left
User PiercedVeil always makes fun of mario because all you do is go right, so I made a level where you move left to progress
87B0-0000-003B-330B - Super Meat Boy
Homage to super meat boy level design, fast and saws (hard)
5512-0000-003A-DF07 - Mariovania
My take at a metroidvania type game. It's not very good I think, but some may like it.
7872-0000-0039-1D91 - The Long Haul
Very hard. 1 block jumps. Long. Instant death
4B56-0000-003A-0B2F - The Long Haul (easy mode)
Easier version of the level above. No death and segmented level
0925-0000-0045-63A0 - Sneaking Mission
Turn into a goomba, infiltrate their ranks, and break into the vault at the end. Will you be able to defeat the vault guard?

Just press the (-) button to bring up your levels, under uploaded courses, select each of your levels indivisible and the mini map displays "X" where people are dying in your level.
It would be a good place for DLC.
It's weird I only find myself saying this about Nintendo games, but I hope we see DLC for this one. There's definitely some tools/objects I would love to see and would pay money for.
Are you guys posting from your Wii U to get those imbedded pictures of your stage?
Anyway, made my first 'non-obstacle course' stage.

You can quickly fix this problem by changing the name to 'Too Tricky Manor'

I tried your level with the Boos and it took me a good five or six times to beat it. This was due to the challenge. I enjoyed your level and look forward to playing more of yours in the future.
I took your advice and added one visual cue that might offer a surprise for what I felt was the one area that could need a visual cue.
Here is the new code for the level if you or anyone else would like to give it a go.

P.S. Thanks Hyrule Warrior for the kind words. I'm giving your Return to Giant World level a go right now!

This is intended to be a fairly standard Mario 3 ice level, but when you reach the end there is a little musical section.
I don't expect it will be as popular as my other levels, I think it might end up being a little too difficult. Guess I will see.
Real good work here. Level looks and plays good! One big issue: the gap before the music room looks like it leads somewhere. I tried going down on my second run through and there was a ton of Xs down there, so clearly everyone else thought it looked safe too!‎
‎
This level needs some serious playtesting. Not only is the difficulty totally out of whack, but things don't work the way you mean for them to. You know those handsome green structures you put your doors in front of? Mario can jump on top of them, and in most cases, since there's no way to get down, that's fatal. This is a huge issue, given how easy it is to do, especially after Bowser Jr.! Also I feel like you haven't put yourself in the mind of a stranger first approaching the level. It's easy to run past the thwomps, but people won't know that until they know what's coming. By that time they'll have mastered a very precise jump next to the thwomp, which ultimately is pointless to practise as your level doesn't even require it. You put too much space between the spinies for spin jumping too. I'd think some of this is accidental, but then you put a boo tied to a rail directly in the path of a vine, as to make him unavoidable, and then you put an invisible block and a piranha plant right before the flag, so as to kill people for all their hard work. (I did beat it though, so, you're welcome.) You're showing no respect to the player and his/her time with that sort of thing. ‎
Speaking of which, there is too much busywork. Why do I have to get my own trampoline? Why does the part with the shell breaking the bricks, which is mandatory, have to take so long? You have some very sharp ideas here but they're going to waste when you make things so hard on the player. Please don't get discouraged. There's the pieces of a brilliant level here. But you need to playtest the hell out of the next level you make, I'll say that for sure. ‎
‎
‎I'll occasionally check to see who has played my levels, but aside from that no more mario maker hahaha. I'll re post my levels one more time. I would really like to hear more criticism for my 2 most recent levels.
3rd Level
Kickin' Koopas
(supposed to be much easier than all my other levels, but I guess I failed somewhere, any ideas?)
D3F0-0000-0035-5897
I really liked this but there are two issues. One is that the big koopas are almost required to beat this, and if you smack them with another shell, they die and don't regenerate. The other is that if you don't get through to the end on the P block puzzle, the level almost unwinnable -- you can easily grab those coins, especially with the big koopa shell, and have no way to the end. That kinda thing is best saved for bonus stuff, or levels where you succeed in that or die. That aside, really good! It's OK if people find it hard if it's balanced! ‎
‎
Just got the game yesterday and just now finished my first course! It's just my attempt at a fairly simple classic-style Mario level. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
(775B-0000-0044-9C75)
Good, but maybe a little simple. It probably needs somewhere added where someone could conceivably die! I wouldn't have the level go so up-to-down like that with no reason as it just makes the jumps blind. If you're confident in it, I say submit it for the 1-1 challenge, maybe after a few tune-ups.‎
It is called "Don't Get P'd On!"
Course ID: CE60 0000 0044 E651
As usual, any feedback is welcome!
Really fun twist on the normal formula. Good payoff in the late stretch. A bit short though. You really shouldn't have put the koopa in as you can use to shell to skip a lot of the stage.‎

I tried to mix in ground segments with some over air platforming with this one. There's a small underground area too.

Both of your levels are a little haphazardly thrown together. It's not a big deal, but aesthetics make levels more appealing to the eye.
Another thing is that the difficulty doesn't ramp up in a cohesive way.
For example, in The Long Hall, you can have two block platforms or something of that nature for the first half to set the pacing, then you can start to do the one block platforms towards the end. It eases players in as opposed to just crushing them at the start. More players will try to make it to the end if you give them a sense of progression.
Super Meat Boy was pretty fun. You had some pretty tricky and clever jumps, but I suggest that you have a break in between the level where the player can catch their breath and maybe grab another mushroom. Because the saw obstacles start to blur together at the end, adding a break in between will allow the player to master each segment of the level, and give them a frame of reference to which set of obstacles is next.
I did beat both as well.
Currently working on a really cool SMB3 ghost house. Can't wait to come home tonight and continue my work on it. I intend to make it my densest level yet. Level architecture, a sense of place, as well as multiple/secret paths will be the main focus of this level. Difficulty will take a slight back seat, but it will still be challenging. I hope to share it with GAF before the weekend.
I was wondering though. How do you copy multiple level objects at once? I've read the manual and it says that you can hold the copy triggers and than trace to select, but it doesn't seem to work out for me. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback. The Long Haul was the first level I made and it was pretty quickly thrown together, so I agree with you there. I plan to go back and make it better, but after I get better at it. I find it hard not to go overboard with difficulty, but I think I'm getting better.
As far as meat boy, I tried to emulate the feel of that game which is why it's constant action, and originally I wanted no mushroom. That was just too hard though. Thanks for the input though, I'll keep it in mind going forward

The previous one was too hard aparently, no one was able to beat it.
I made some revisions and now it's much easier.
Give it a try and any feedbacks and stars are much appreciated! Thanks!
That got shut down and we were told to use the OT.
I see this posted a lot and I find the opposite to be true. I mean, it's easy to make hard levels in it, but I find it much harder to make a hard level that actually feels like it belongs in a Mario game. Going to give it a shot soon though!
Yeah, that SMW ghost house level you did seems to be doing the rounds and for good reason.
I assume that the more stars a level has, the more times they'll be presented in 100 Mario?
It seems the formula is kinda weird. From what I gathered: the levels with the highest completion rate are more often featured in the Easy-100 Mario Challenge. The levels with the lowest completion rate are more often featured in the Expert-100 Mario Challenge (thus explaining why all the kaizo and barely playable levels are there). No idea how the Normal challenge picks the levels.

I want to like this game but I just don't have the patience to make stages, and I had a 100 challenge crash on me first time I played, discouraging
I guess when I'm bored of diablo I'll really get into it

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm sure stars is taken into account somehow, but new levels are often served up as well. Wonder if it's a star to player ratio as well.
Guess you've got to get some people to play your stage first though so it can sort it into difficulty.

So do voice clips have any impact on your online presence? Seems like people could curse using it. I'm not, but if having a voice clip lowers your online presence I'll remove mine.
it's just a bird tweeting sound online

Got my 50th star overnight, so thanks to anyone who starred my courses! I know a lot of people here got the ball rolling on some of mine, especially a Very Mario 3 Time! (Cheap plug: 8D6A-0000-0040-D034).
Got so much good feedback about how that one plays, so it's given me some confidence about the 1-1 contest. Shame it's over a month away, but obviously it's good to get people used to the tools. Played some of the 1-1 competition (but not all, saving for the voting time) and I'm not going to have it easy with some of the talent in here!

I made a new course:
Treasure of the 99 Dead Pirates
7274-0000-0042-C6D7
The challenge is to find all 99 coins, but I designed it in a way it should hopefully also be fun if you just try to find the exit. It took me about 5 hours to make and fine-tune this.
Let me know what you think! I'll make sure to give your stages a try as well.

Good idea, red coins, Yoshi/star coins and halway post are all something that would really add to the adventurous side of the creation.
Gonna shamelessly plug the stages I made so far too:

If you're finding any parts really hard to get through, there's a good chance you're missing a secret route that's much easier.
I like making stages with at least 2 routes: a hard one (lots of enemies and tough platforming), and an easier one that's harder to find (i.e. you need to explore, use your eyes/brain and maybe backtrack a bit sometimes).

Current second post in the thread from Daydream still says October, so that's what I've been going with.
So I started a tumblr for all of my courses, and I am going to be doing design posts alongside the levels. For now I went through and re-worked some of my initial batch of stages, adding in bonus rooms and making some changes to avoid any cheap deaths. Overall I feel there is a nice progression of difficulty, but I do feel course 1-4 might be too challenging due to a lack of check points.
Anyway here is the tumblr, but I will post the stages here. Please give them a try!
1-1 Use the Parakoopas 2.0 (3EC2-0000-0045-502F)
Use the Parakoopas to bounce your way across some gaps. It has two secret bonus rooms.
1-2 Piranha Plant Pop 2.0 (6400-0000-0045-50BC)
Avoid the piranha pants that pop out of the pipes. Keep an eye out for two bonus rooms.
1-3 A little help from Yoshi (A6C7-0000-0045-5166)
P-Switches and Yoshi! Yoshi will give you a boost, and he’ll catch up with you later on in the level. What a helpful dinosaur!
1-4 Backsy Forthsy Mansion 2.0 (82C0-0000-0045-5332)
Back and forth in a haunted mansion that puts you just out of reach of places you’ve been prior. Quite a challenging stage! Can you find the hidden door that leads to the back side of the goal?
