Final got over 50 stars so 10 more Levels to Upload
Question: if I delete an uploaded Level which received a Star, Do I lose the star/s?
Super Mario World 1-0.5 said:
This is my entry for the GAF Community Contest #1. A level with 2 different paths, one focusing on the feather (and platforming) and the other on the flower (and action). A lot of different cool concepts are introduced like ice platforms, circular platforms, crushing floors and walls...Everything is introduced one step at a time and has it´s time to shine. The level must be played 2 times to experience it completely.
As a curiosity, I ran out of blocks, pipes, doors and coins in the second area and had to completely redesign the ending of the level
Circular Platforms 3 said:
This one hasn´t been out for long and has the best star/play times ratio for the moment. Pllayers seem to be enjoying it a lot and I´ve received very positive feedback. It expands even further on what could be seen in Circular Platforms 2, has alternate paths with different difficulties which will naturally drive the player to where he belongs and expert players will be able to get to a secret treasure room.
Circular Platforms 2 said:
My most popular level, it expands on the Circular Platforms concept remixing it to create new challenges. It´s a challenging and fun level, though there are many powerups so no one will be left behind.

Find all the powerups to overcome the different challenges and help Mario find the exit. The level´s not hard abbility-wise, meaning that you won´t die easily, but finding the exit and solving the different puzzles will require that you use your grey matter.
I´ve received some very positive feedback on this one, but not many people are playing it or completing it.
Feather 1-1 said:
This was originally my entry for the GAF Community Contest #1, but in the end got replaced by Super Mario World 1-0.5. It is an extensive feather tutorial level with lots of secrets.
. Really too long given no checkpoints and very low ceilings which lead to bumping into enemies and dying due to having no powerups. For fans of traditional ghost house levels I made this:
The Ghostly Gauntlet
E180-0000-003B-5D33
Multiple paths, secrets, ghosts, and wizards, who could ask for more? There's 3 main paths through the level, all varying in difficulty, much like the different paths you would take in a SMW ghost house. I hope everyone enjoys it, I'm going to start going through levels on GAF since the leaderboards aren't changing much right now.
Feels like you fit the first loop of an old arcade game into that level
I anticipate lots of people quitting this one before they get the hang of it. If it weren't a GAF level, I might have given up. I've never played Manic Miner, so maybe I there are tricks that I don't know? I did manage to finish it, though.
Most of my deaths were from bumping my head on the ceiling after hitting the first p-switch and landing on the piranha plant. I mean, A LOT of deaths there...
That specific point you mention was originally a lot easier. For reference, here is a screenshot of the first level of the original game for comparison. In the original game you had to collect all the treasure and then head to the exit before the timer ran out. This mechanic doesn't fit well with Mario so I tried my best to adapt it.
Planets with rockets? Here's Planet 1-3!
My first auto-scrolling level and probably my best one yet! Spent probably more than 8 hours on it!
As a reminder, here's my reworked Planet 1-2 :
And Planet 1-1, reworked for the contest :
Hey when are you going to stream again? I love watching NeoGAF players playing GAF stages. I also got another stage I would love you to try tooHoly shit! I'm gonna try this next time I play. Thanks.
Also, for everyone. I'll have a crazy stage coming very soon
Thanks for the tips. Yeah there are some easy bypasses in the skull coaster section. Some were there on purpose, like when it climbs up I wanted to give people options to jump ahead or use the blocks, but in the first section I didn't realize until it was too late that you could skip like two or three of skull coasters if you jump down at the right time. That section was actually much harder (more cannons and different placements) but I toned it down. I don't try to make my levels too hard, but the clear percentage on my stages are so low. I made a Waluigi themed level, which is supposed to be a fairly easy and quirky level, but it's only been cleared 8% of the time. Another one of my stages is super easy if you just run through and hit the power ups at the right time, but it only has like a 20% clear rate.
At least now Danny has a legit reason to say "Godammit Ross"
I beat Companion Spring. Air stalling really helps. So many blind jumps in it. Too bad they don't know about that move.
I think that's a big problem people have when playing my NSMB levels particularly Flying Spring 2. When I practice a segment I'm making I use air stalling and do it without thinking. But maybe I need to keep in mind that a decent number of people either don't know or don't think to use it, and should make sure each part of my stage is possible without using air stall.
That is pretty funny.
Yeah, Super Meat Boy was way easier when I remember I could spin jump to get a little more jump. It is a move that exists in NSMB, but never really used for anything ... so I guess most people forgot it exists.
As I said, don't expect a huge change. The only part that's easier is the part where the second wiggler is moving up on the track. If you still say that part is too hard try to say what star you're hitting and I might think about changing again. I still want this part to be hard and tense so I want to minimise how much I have to change. Hopefully the small change I made is enough.
I will jot this down because I am a sucker for puzzle levels.
