The Floating Temple of Midas
DF90-0000-0070-6C53
Explore the temple and get your hands on its treasures! Kind of a P switch experiment/coin run type thing. I always loved those rooms in Nintendo's games just full of blocks that all turned to coins, so this is a level devoted to that idea.
Snake Block Shuffle

Just some ridin' on snake blocks, Mario World style!
Played both of these, and thought they were both great.I'm going to have to go back and edit this since I forogt to put super mushrooms in the last section which was a screw up on my end, still before I do edit this feel free to critique the heck out of it so that my 2.0 may be stronger.
Spinning Stomps, Spooky Thwomps (7F11-0000-006D-E25D)
Also this...
Mushroom Kingdom Freeze (9952-0000-006A-56BF)
I fear the difficulty may be a bit skewered in this one, a touch too long with the "minecart" section being at the mercy of when the first set of saws decided to start moving.
In any case my odd tribute to Wii U's GOAT platformer, there's ice! there's sort of jungle but not really! there's a factory kinda! 2 bonus rooms! Skull block mine cart substitute!
And the first section has a layout from the first arrows that allows for that Retro Studios esque run and bounce off the enemies at full speed for flow approach, though it has to be pretty exact (that's what the coins are to try and steer you towards).
True enough, at this point my idea for the stage was still heavily rooted in "what can I do in SMW that can't be done elsewhere?" before I just decided to fully run with thwomps and blocks.
Made a new level using every trick I could think of to fake vertical progression... It's essentially a long vertical journey starting from underground all the way up into space.

P-Switch /running fast /coins gimmick once again, but this time with a twist.
My biggest and easiest level, soooooo Many Hours of hard work.
I set the bar VERY high :My goal is two stars, and a stranger's yeah
This level is pretty cool. I've seen other people try to do vertical levels and usually they don't feel quite right. I'll be honest, this isn't perfect either, but that's mostly Nintendo's fault in terms of the limitations they've set. At least you try to block off visibility of other parts of the ascent. It can be pretty busy, visually, at times. But I think you needed to do that to get across how different each area is. Nice touch on showing the previous area below your feet, and nice job on the secret area too.
And your other level was awesome too, I'd played it earlier, I forget if I said anything. Really well put together.
awesome level!
appreciate all the consistency throughout and feels very vertical

I've made a couple new levels too, I don't know if they're as good as some of my previous ones.
As usual they are fairly easy, though judging by the clear rates they are tougher than what I usually make. I try to lean toward levels like the ones Nintendo would make, but also want to include some ideas that others might take and run with in more complicated setups.

I finally finished the level I started day one in Super Mario Maker, my Metroid/Brinstar level, "y cant metroid shoot? - Brinstar"
It's a Metroid level made to evoke Brinstar, with actual Metroid gameplay. I've put an emphasis on atmosphere and visuals (in particular, I wanted the scrolling and screen management to be extremely close to the original NES game, which led to a lot of constraints which IMO benefited the level), but exploration/puzzle elements have also been carefully crafted. In that sense, the level is an homage to NES Metroid but also to 8-bit computer exploration/puzzle action games I grew up with.
Screenshots:
Features:
- Five levels of powerups.
- Some powerups don't stack up and are mutually exclusive, you'll have to find when and where to use them.
- Powerups are regenerated, if you lose one you can get it back at its original location.
- In Super Mario Maker, when you use a pipe (or a door), enemies are regenerated, but broken blocks stay broken. This allowed me to make it so, once a powerup is unlocked, it stays unlocked and is immediately accessible in its location by square #1 little Mario: you won't ever have to redo the powerup chain, even if you lose all your powerups (this, to avoid tedious repetition and to keep a good pace).
- (Obviously) you can't ever get stuck in an area without being able to progress.
- When you get a powerup, you won't be able to continue until you've used its specific power(s), to make sure everybody understands powerup capabilities (there is one single exception to this, because the powerup's power is well-known and obvious).
- You can finish the level without using one powerup specifically, but doing so makes the level much harder.
- Action is slow and balanced, not particularly tough, there aren't too many rooms. Even if you obviously have to be careful, it's completely different from my Tourian level: since one hit means you have to backtrack, it's more about avoiding stupid mistakes and figuring things out rather than being masterful. The addition of all those "easy" sequences and the general exploration/puzzle elements make it not easy on the whole, though, especially since the MAX 500 time limit threatens.
- Three lives are hidden, and many coins, even if they aren't in the level openly.
- The time limit is a threat, but I could finish the level while collecting the three lives and many coins in XXX time units.
- Puzzles, enemies and locations are inspired by Brinstar, but the level is its own thing.
- To my knowledge, you can't sequence break (optional powerup excluded).
none of them are particularly hard or long, shouldn't take you more than a couple of attempts.
Deep beneath the crashing waves of the Mushroom Kingdom sea, there lay a beast of indescribable height. Many knew of its existence, but none dared to search for the legendary beast. Due to drops in temperature, the beast was forced to relocate even deeper into the sea in hopes of a sustainable food source, forgotten forever.
Centuries later, Mario encounters a frozen sea while exploring the coast of Mushroom Kingdom. The temperature drops rapidly, as Mario swims towards a gargantuan ice berg within the depths. It's here, where he see's an entrance to what looks like a cave, leading directly into the mass of ice. The beast is just a legend, but even still, he should be long gone by now, right?

What was once a proud city of fortune, is now a place of legend. Beyond the sprawling forests and rugged mountains of Mushroom Kingdom, you can find the former city now known to locals as, Chomp-Chomp Ruins. Overwrought with Munchers and stray Chain-Chomps, Mario must have a constant guard if he wants to make it through the ruins alive. Narrow passageways, glistening rocks, abandoned railways, and a slew of dangerous creatures greet our hero, as he continues further and further into the ruins. Can you see it through?

So those of you who've been playing my stages should know I enjoy making unique, challenging yet fair (debatable) boss fights for the ends of my levels. Well, I got to thinking... why not create an arena like stage of just ALL bosses!? A Boss Rush mode!~ Those are always my favorite in games, especially the Kirby series. So for my latest stage...
Go! 7 Boss Rush!
(8BFE-0000-0072-6930)
Ration your resources!
Choose your opponent!
Fight and win!
You've got all your boss rush basics: power ups, non-linear boss fights. The whole nine... er seven. The boss list is as follows:
- Goomaestro
- Order of Kamek
- The Mole Hole
- Bowser Jr
- Count Koopula
- General Bones
Can you defeat all seven in time?

Hope you have fun playing the levels and streaming.
Poochy ain't Stupid could at least be glitched into a non-autoscroller lol.Something small and simple I whipped up earlier, I'd be intrigued to see if someone could make a full stage out of this concept
Challenge: Manipulating Monty! (6563-0000-0071-8605)
Just checking miiverse and hey jucksalbe is right, it is kinda like a poochy stage, mixed with the NSMBU Mole to Goal challenges (but not nearly as painful as those or Poochy ain't Stupid)
