I went back and enhanced my first course with a brand new underground area and a few other touches. Just like before, it's a NSMB course that offers multiple routes and oldschool gameplay.

Welcome to the Jungle (EFE7-0000-004B-91A7)

Thanks in advance to anyone who plays it. I'd love to hear your feedback!

Cool level, it brought me to my knees.

It looks like you put a lot of thought into the level, lots of exploring to do. The blue platforms in the underground area moved way to slow though, maybe try using the skull platforms instead.

Thanks man, I thought they were slow as well but couldn't figure out how in the world to speed them up. I'll definitely give the skull platforms a shot!

Great level, maybe I'll retry it for the coin challenge later!

Is it just me or are the horrible troll levels in Expert 100-Man Mario always made by German players? It's gotten to where I have my finger ready on the - button when I see the flag.

 

[R00bot]

Good level I enjoyed it and gave you a star. I died a few times at the end with the buzz saws, but nothing that felt cheap.

Thanks! I worked pretty hard on the aesthetics of it, as well as adding a few little secrets here and there. Thanks for playing

Mushroom Heights

High above Mushroom Kindom, you'll find mushrooms taller than the clouds themselves. It's no coincidence that you encounter just that in this stage. With both high and lower altitudes, no matter how you're progressing, I hope you're prepared for an involuntary skydive!...that is, unless you're fortunate enough to don the Tanooki suit!

Stage ID: E7D5-0000-0049-5DCC

 

[KingBroly]

I couldn't get the timing down for the jumps. A little too unforgiving for my liking.

It's a pretty short level. I made it because I saw a lot of really hard, really long Challenges out there and thought an Obstacle Course kind of challenge with it being short was a good way to go to keep people trying it and not get discouraged too quickly.

The key is to go fast until you get to a certain point, then you have to go slow and then it's over.

There's no BS like Hidden Coin Blocks or Soft-locks in the level either, so it's just about Patience and Skill.

Thanks for playing it, at least.

maaan I've been playing this game for like 3 days and there's a lot of real crappy levels out there

it really discourages me from trying to make one of my own becoz if I do it jus won't be fun lol.

this level however I played and it's freakin brilliant... highly HIGHLY recommend ppl here try it!!

13B2-0000-0042-7BB4

it's a hard stage, very hard, took me 45 minutes to beat,

but it's so smartly designed! it's a great mix of puzzle solving and player execution,

when you die you need to figure out how / why you died, and once you figure it out u gotta actually pull it off!!

anyways yap, wonderful stage and I think only one person has beaten it, which is me,

so I really hope more ppl go and check it out!!!

in the meantime I've nothing to do tonite so I'll probly check out some of the stages ppl posting in here ^_^

Nice level, if a bit short.

I tried. It was just a short stage I whipped up between the other complete worlds of non-trolling courses I was working on.

For this one, I made an attempt at creating a somewhat "genuine" SMB3 stage, with easy to moderate difficulty and based around a single game attribute (Goomba's Shoe). It's fairly larger than your standard SMB3 course, but I think it mostly meets the goal.

I originally wanted to make the underground area roughly twice as large, with more challenge rooms and secrets to uncover. However, I hit the block limit and had to cut things short. I could have added more areas by hollowing out the walls and using single-tile borders for all the rooms, but I felt that that would have ruined the aesthetic.

Previous stages:

Board the Airship

Thanks for the comments left on the first stage. I don't think I'll meticulously revise and reupload any stages unless they're outright broken, but every bit of advice helps for future efforts.

In the Mouth of Madness (56CB-0000-0040-8480)

I'll try yours tonight. Great work on these videos.

 

[MrPanic]

Finally got around to make another level, I usually take hours when creating a level so I've been hesitant to start making one lately, though it's great to make one again. This one is all about vine climbing. The first area down the pipe is basically a training area for your vine skills, so take your time to git gud cause it'd be a shame if you died later in the level because of your own mistake. (You can skip the pipe area by hitting the hidden block, should be obvious where it is.) The level is actually pretty easy if your vine game is on point. Feedback is appreciated!

Good level. I beat it with the secret tunnel and without. Only complaint would be the blue pads are a bit slow and taking the secret tunnel makes the level a bit short.

 

[Chubzdoomer]

Yeah, I wasn't sure whether to have the player come out at the end or in the tunnel just below the stacked Goombas. I ultimately thought of the tunnel as a second way of reaching the end of the level since the underground section that follows is somewhat lengthy.

 

[jnWake]

Thanks for watching!

Thanks everyone for watching. I had fun. GAF levels are so good!

Thanks for the stream! I noticed your (and others) "complaint" about the P-Block not regenerating hence forcing you to either do the challenge in one try or restart. I had an internal debate about that and decided to leave it like that since it's inspired by SM3DW's Mystery Houses which put you in small timed challenges and if you fail you have to start over. (Video for reference if you haven't played 3D World).

I'll leave the level here once again, in case anybody is interested in playing it:

This has been the best received of my levels so far so I made a second one that I'll post here soon-ish.

Doing a spin jump off him is the only way to get a 1-up on the flag pole. I was thinking the forced spin jump on spinies earlier would make that a little more obvious.

Oh right. After the scare I got I decided to leave him in peace and just cross the line, but it's a cool feature having him there for the jump boost. It's just that I wasn't expecting anything and it took me by surprise.

I don't think the first block after the thwomps should have fire on it. Makes it impossible to land if you're unlucky enough to have the fire going in your direction when you reach the end of the thwomps. In that case it's more luck than skill and feels cheap and frustrating.

Nope.

You can make players believe they're scaling through warp pipes as they are teleported to different portions of the stage that require climbing.

My first Mystery House level got a good reception so I decided to make a second one:

Mystery House Surf: E3B1-0000-004D-050B .

For the second entry in the Mystery House series, I went with the SMB3 look. In this level, you have to, well, surf!

Wait, surf?

YES!

I discovered this mechanic in a GAF level, Nightmare in 1-1 (shame I don't have the code at hand but you can search for it in this thread, it's pretty cool). Mystery House Surf features four challenges around riding the beetle helmet and it can actually get pretty challenging, but it's also pretty fun!

Hope you guys try and enjoy it!

If you liked this level, please try my other levels. There's another (easier) Mystery House level there too.
