I hope the trend of difficult levels moves more towards actually challenging as opposed to just deceptive. One takes actual thought and effort, the other is just lazy.

It seems to be about the number of items you place. So just place a lot of random stuff if you want to hurry this up a little.

lol, the highest rated course right now is called "Don't Press Anything". Sounds, uh, fun.
The fact that it takes actual thought is why the trend won't ever change.

Have fun!

Tap the Mario icon next to Play.

Unlocked everything and got the hang of how stuff works now. Here's a vastly improved course over my previous two. There are 5 hidden 1-up mushrooms, a costume, and 2 sub-areas and a secret exit to find! Give it a shot and give me feedback and see if you can find all the hidden stuff!

How is it going?
Further each time. Almost got it.

Still at work but I got the game during my lunch break...what is the process to bypass the 9 day waiting period to unlock everything?

Played around 8 hours today... Think I'm going to call it a day.
Made 2 levels.
Take me with you
Take a red shell with you and you'll be fine.

Jumping bullet
Simple and short platformer. Involves some gaps, bullet bills and moving platforms.

Feedback is much appreciated.
Still got the basic toolbox too (row 1 and 2).

Make stuff. It will let you know that the next set will be delivered the next day, but if you keep playing and placing objects in the editor it will shortly let you know that the new item set arrived early.
You need to unlock it first
ive been creating for at least an hour now, and it said the first new shipment would be tomorrow. what happened to the 'every 5 minutes of creating you get new stuff' people were talking about? do I need to restart the game?
otherwise, loving the game so far. there's plenty of tools to start with to make a great level. it's a fun challenge, and the tools are fucking so swift and smooth. it's a joy to do about anything.
that being said, I do wish there were checkpoints and the item storage in the SMW paintjob. They have wall jumping and stomps for NSMB so I'm not sure why they arent carrying over traits from the others. either way, awesome.
edit: is there any way to just make one coin pop up out of a ? block? right now it's annoying that it only seems to be 10

I had to take a break from playing...because my batteries died in my remote and I'm too far from the TV to use the cord. First world problems...
My lvls have also low completion rates. Too many casuals online
Stick with the difficulty. We need those. Gonna try them now.
Don't know if it's already been mentioned before, but André Segers' (aka Gamexplain) Super Meat Boy-level is worth a try...and then another...and then another...and then another, until you complete it. Hard and amazingly accurate to the feel and design of Super Meat Boy.

Wow. Only 3% completion rate on my latest course. It's not that hard. Someone beat this damn thing!

I like the secret one-ups, and the one that requires you to still have the wing cap at the end. I'm not sure this would be an "easy" level. The Bowser Jr.s are what put it higher IMO. If they didn't stun when they broke through the blocks, that might bring it back down. Still, I enjoyed the level.
All around solid level. Good use of the starter stuff.Course I put together really quick before I had ro run some errands. I wish I had more stuff from the start.
Castle in the Sky
Nice use of falling platforms. Took me two tries since on my first go I jumped on a platform to avoid a fireball and I couldn't catch up to it while it was falling. Oops.

Hope one of those hats ends up on eBay.
That's a fun level. I managed to find4 of the 1-ups, the costume, and both sub-areas.
Just a heads up, if you go into the first sub-area with the shoe it's possible to go out of bounds.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, just place the question mark block. It already comes with one coin. And as for unlocking more stuff, as mentioned above, just place every block you have available.
Game arrived today. Played it for a bit.
Pretty impressed at the quality of the user-created levels already. The stuff with the high star counts is already very good.
Even a few of the random courses I tried had their moments. One boss stage that a person from Italy made was excellent (but had no plays yet), so I gave him his first star.
The level creator is fun to use and play around with. Looking forward to digging in deep into making levels once I get back from my trip this weekend.

Use all of each new item at least once - just throw one down into the level. Check you have selected a new theme or background if they unlocked (basically anything wih an !).nthen just play around in the creator for a couple of minutes and you should get a notice that a delivery will come soon. Once that message appears, just switch to a background block and draw all over the level to place as many blocks as possible - place enough blocks and that will bring the delivery quickly. Can just take a couple of minutes - I just scrolled left/right with the left stick while swiping up and down.
Should be able to tap on the mystery mushroom and it'll bring up the list of unlocked costumes so you can pick one.

I feel the same way.
Am way more interested to create classic Mario levels which make sense instead of crazy ones.

Yeah, I think it is going to take a while before people get the flow down. Most of the stuff I'm making right now is just time killing so I can unlock the other stuff that I really want to use.
I really liked Crowded Cavern. Starred and followed

Thanks! Think I'm finally getting used to making coherent levels, my last few attempts were a bit scatter-brained. Although funnily enough, my most inconsistent level has the most stars and comments..

I'm not worried about the user levels right now - it's early, they are necessarily going to be shit. I expect they will only get better from here, as people really start thinking/refining/understanding.

That's crazy! It goes so many ways it's interesting.
I present to you guys my first ever water level:
"Do not go gentle into the deep"

let me know what you guys think. Of that one and all my levels so far.

Man, I really hope I didn't make my course too hard.
I wanted it to be frustrating, but also rewarding for patience, timing, and skill.
No one has completed it yet though. So I think I'll make things a little bit easier.

And get you angry enough to to make you want to beat it with some tricks I pulled, hence the AVGN reference, lol.

People just get intimidated by cannonballs
So is there some optimized way to unlock all the items fast? This starter palet really doesn't give enough for me to get creative.
What's the code, I'll try to finish it.
