My main series:
I'm planning on finishing Third Party Quest eventually, but I'm taking a break from Super Mario Maker. The fact players don't really leave much comments or stars any more compared to the first months isn't very encouraging...
I played through your Metroid levels and they were fantastic! I forgot to star 1 or 2 of the levels, so sorry about that. I was just too excited to move on to the next levels in the series. Seriously though, awesome looking and clever levels!
Kind of an irony this will be the first time Birdo is a playable character in any game this gen.
Wii U obviously.
I played Ghost House Assault and Escape the Room.
Ghost House Assault is one of those levels where it's tough but every mistake is the player's fault. Lots of clever use of powerups and a fair checkpoint meant I wanted to finish it. Also got the world record!
Escape the room really puzzled me. The room with the clown car was the hardest for me to figure out. I love these kind of levels because the solution is always right there but it's up to the player to figure it out.

You can either fill the stage with random stuff until you get everything or set your system clock 9 days into the future.
Do you have to save and upload a stage?

Just keep setting your system ahead by a total of 9 days, all you need to do, works like a charm.
Feedback time!
No room for mistakes! Beat it in about 15 or 20 tries. Luckily it was short! I think your level is tougher than mine!
I manage to go until after the puzzle with the big red shoe but then died not knowing what to do, tried another time but didn't want to redo the first puzzle after the flag.
Your level is a little bland looking BTW.
Managed to beat it in 4 tries. Quite tough but fair. The other way down the pipe is way harder though so why bother?

I came across a (admittedly esoteric) error in my level and decided to fix it before it got much attention. So here's the new upload of All Aboard the Wiggle-mobile! (Click the picture for the link!)
You'll have to update any old bookmarks. Sorry for the inconvenience, I never ever do this.

Well I'm glad someone finished it. I'm stepping away from really difficult levels for a while, but I'm worried I won't get any stars. I have 2 levels that are somewhat standard that haven't got much attention.
More like a lot bland looking. I kind of rushed it out. Also, after you break through the blocks, you just jump to the right and have to leap out of the shoe to cross the gap. I just checked now and realized I didn't place any indicator to do that.
That leads me to a question. I'm still quite new with all of this, but how does editing an uploaded level work? Do I have to delete it and re-upload it as a new level?

Played through all of these and had fun, but my favorite was 2-3. That was some tough but really fun and rewarding platforming.
Here's my latest Super Mario Maker level:
https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/615F-0000-0123-14C5
It's a short level that I kinda put together. It's pretty quick and not all that interesting.
EDIT:
A clear failure with Bookmarked levels - They don't go away once you clear them. :\

No, you don't have to upload or save anything. Just grab a tile, fill the stage with it until you can't any more, delete everything, repeat. Or just change the clock.
Will leave a couple more levels for you guys to book.ark if they catch your eye:

Straight Mario-esque levels should be speedrunnable so perhaps use the speedrun tag? That's what I do for the most part.
Interestingly enough, when testing the level I never once died in the subarea. So I suppose there are people who are good enough at the bouncing but not great and dealing with enemies who might prefer that route.
Of course, there's also
the pile of coins and 1-up

Many thanks, that's very much appreciated!
Same here, if I had fun, I give a star, regardless of anything else.
No, it's really gotten worse. I updated several levels, my Metroid Resurgence series in particular, and each time I could see the stars/visits ratio was getting worse and worse as time passed, even though the levels got better. It's even worse with comments, they're extremely rare now vs. two months ago, even regardless of people you can attract through message boards. I guess the initial audience was the enthusiast one, whereas people playing now care a lot less. It makes me a bit sad to have lost my initial comments and statistics through updates, even though I was taking remarks into account and tried to improve things.
Oh, well...

I label all my traditional levels as dash. If they are traditionl but themed like ice lava etc I call it theme. That's about all I got haha. Traditional would have helped but I don't mind the tags as is.
Main reason I left my courses uploaded as is. I might upload a checkpoint version of one or two but tbh I just have accepted it for what it is
I do wish people would star more, its easy.
This new update is amazing, makes playing levels beyond easy. What was tedious with inputing codes I can now whip through in 30 secs.
Do I have to link to twitter to get the fancy plaque made? I liike keeping my twitter game free.
Didn't even know you had the game.
Will stalk you if you don't mind lol

Wow, great update, although struggling with the tags for my levels - where the hell is good to honest 'platforming'?
I've got a lot of levels graded as Super Expert but feel this should be reserved for Kaizo-esque levels which mine really are not. I'll link my two most recent levels, feel free to give them a try (and set a new record!)
Ghost House Assault
https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/FC5B-0000-011A-771B
Double-crosser Jnr
https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/DB52-0000-0100-11D9
I played both of your levels. So I have to add before constructive criticism, I don't think you recognize how hard your levels are. Both of those levels have some almost troll level challenges in there that make it way more difficult to complete. I think they both belong in super expert actually.
I didn't beat Double Crosser Jr because after that door the thwomp with the music blocks literally made me yell "what the fuck man". There is so much shit that cn kill you in that first section it's not even funny. Its super punishing. For instance, why exactly does the big fireball at the last plant before the muncher need to go all the way through the floor? Why are the platforms the pirahna plants are floating on so close together? Stuff like that just insta raise the difficulty of your levels times 3 for no actual benefit for the player. If you want your levels to be completed by more people you do need to tone down the difficulty significantly.
As for Ghost House Assault its easier than Double crosser but there is still some just mean stuff in there. Like the floor being donut blocks out of the first door or putting the mushroom in a single block over a bottomless pit that requires wall jumping to get. That's just mean spirited honestly, the level of difficulty to just get the mushroom exceeds the bother. If you are going to give items, I don't feel like you need to make the player work that hard to get it. I did beat it though, I am the record holder currently.
I starred both because the ideas themselves were fine but the difficulty needs to be toned down or refined to remove some of the excess trial and error.
Had it since early October actually. Don't expect anything fancy.

Thanks to bokmarks I've played pretty much every level on the last three pages. Thank you based nintendo. As a side note World Records are amazing. Some dude beat a level I osted in 20.992 seconds. I didn't even think that was possible I'm currently trying to figure out how he did it.
Woah, it's actually very easy now to share level, like even easier!

With the new update I was thinking of remaking a level I did (and didn't post because life got in the way), nearly done.
It's incredibly easy to find levels made by people in your friendlist now!
None of my levels are above expert but none are easier than normal which is weird.
My last 2 levels :
Thwomp's burning mansion : D372-0000-0109-26C6
Fire in the hole : 688B-0000-0104-12C8
Fire in the hole is somehow a normal level for some reasons...
time to bookmark you people.

Thanks buddy, and pleased to read the bolded because it's absolutely my aim.
Pretty harsh words and might I say pretty wide of the mark. You seem to misunderstand my motivation for these levels by coming out with words like "troll" and "mean spirited". I'm only making levels that I myself enjoy! One man's pleasure is another man's poison as they say. Thanks for playing all the same.

I just played it and it seemed to go smoother overall. I skipped the water section though. I jumped into the exit pipe and got the checkpoint.

Well my assumption is anyone who posts here is trying to make levels that are enjoyable. But you said you didn't feel the levels were super expert level and I'm saying playing them, its pretty much the definition of levels that would get sorted in there. I think there are certain elements in your levels that drive up the difficulty more than intended. If you disagree its fine but I'm just giving you a fresh perspective.
I played it before the fix. What did you change?
Btw. I liked the challenge but...
KooopaKid said:
..THIS. Looked like a bonus room, but was tough as hell.
The name. I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought when I opened my eyes was that I didn't give it the name I meant to. It just killed me. You were the only one to play it worth a damn, two Japanese guys half-assed a playthrough and gave up, so I figured I might as well bite the bullet and put up an update. Consider yourself the holder of a unique and very meaningless accomplishment!
SO. I figured someone might try to get into that room, take a look at what was going on and say, no, fuck this, get me out. Because of that, if you go back into the pipe, it'll spit you out just ahead of the checkpoint.
Yey. I will play it again, and beat that world record for sure.

Gaffeeeeers, I do not know what to do with this game because ever time I see something related to it, I have the urge of buying it.
I watched some videos and thought that it seemed very enjoyable and funny. A month ago, I could try it out with some friends and we had a great time. Also, I would play it from time to time and this game is perfect for that matter. But I think there is still a lot of content missing and I do not know if they are going to add more or what is going to happen
And there is also Xenoblade, Pikmin 3, Smash, Captain Toad, Mario Kart, Yoshi, Kirby, The Wonderful 101 that I haven't bought (yet) and perhaps I would like them better or I do not know.

That's the point isn't it though, some people do find them enjoyable. You seem to have a low tolerance of failure and see trolling where others see smart design. Try playing a kaizo level and report back. Our interpretation of Super Expert and fairness is clearly different.
Gotdatmoney

I never implied people didn't enjoy them. I played your level and answered with examples why your stuff is most likely being sorted into super expert. I dunno why your conclusion is I have a low tolerance for failure considering I beat Ghost House Assualt and have the fastest completion time thus far. Pretty much every difficult level in this thread I tried I have completed. This isn't really an issue of me lacking skill or misinterpreting.
It's fine if you disagree with me but you posted levels for play and feedback and I gave you honest feedback. It's obviously take it or leave it but if all your levels are constantly being shuffled into the highest difficulty and you don't know why, I don't really see why you wouldn't acknowledge the one dissenting opinion that may better explain explain that. Your choice though, I don't care either way.

Well the momentum of Mario Maker has slowed down, but there are still people making levels daily. With the website up and running finding cool levels should be a whole lot easier. There is a lot to play. Designing is much harder and isn't for everyone. In the long run you may get bored of it. Even I took a long break from it

Just jumped in after months of being not sure. I'm really glad the bookmark website is there, because my first couple of plays I was really struggling to find decent levels and pretty much hating it. I've gone through the last page or two and bookmarked a few. Excited to give them a go.
You misunderstood me. I'm disagreeing with Nintendo's categorisation of levels. For me there is a clear difficulty tier above my levels and I'd rather not have my levels lumped in with the uber hard stuff that take 100 lives to complete. It gives a false impression. I never said my levels weren't tough or expert.
So I've played 3 levels from my bookmarks this morning and they've all been great. Still many to go and I'll post in dribs and drabs.
Played your Sonic level and it was your usual high quality. Good platforming and intelligent use of hazards. The only thing I'd say is you went for the Sonic theme and didn't really play to it until the end with that speed section, which was brilliant but all too short.
I tried making a fun puzzle level. I took a little inspiration from those escape the room games, though it's kind of difficult to translate that into a Mario level. I did my best to remove any exploits, ways to cheat, or places to get stuck (you can technically still get stuck almost everywhere and I'm not sure how to fix it). I put so much time into this level and it almost doesn't seem worth it. I really feel for professional level designers. Anyway, here it is:
Escape the Rooms
After all that work, I just realized that the Ghost House theme would have been a way better fit
Just when you thought you'd seen every idea for a level, another unique take comes along. Brilliant execution. I ran out of time on my first play after the clown car wouldn't follow me, and the P switch music kept looping when I exited a pipe before it was finished. Otherwise a really enjoyable level.
Here's my stages I've got around to updating with checkpoints
Airship Assault
https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/8468-0000-0126-D596
Now this is what I'm talking about! Firm but fair challenge and beautiful platforming. You've paid a lot of attention to the enemy timings, making for a really fluid level once you get it nailed down. I enjoyed it so much I played it twice.

Yeah, I do not think I wll be designing much, it takes a lot of time to do it right. But I like challenges (perhaps not as much as Arino!) and thought that this game has plenty of them. And, on top of that, the price is around 37 which is not bad at all.
Thank you for your opinion.
I want to buy a game for Wii u, but it is hard to choose only one.Thanks! Maybe I missed it, but Mario Maker needs an option for unlimited time.
Had a lot of fun with this one. Good balance for the puzzle difficulty.

Hey I think I'm having a problem or I'm missing something. I've been trying out the various event courses as I haven't played the game since they launched.
First I had a problem trying to even open the courses but I got that fixed by rebooting my router.
Now when I play the courses I don't see any custom costumes. Like from what I understand playing the Mercedes-Benz course the mystery mushroom should give me a car, but instead I get random one from my unlocked costumes. And when I complete the course I get a notification about unlocking a costume but nothing is actually unlocked, the square stays empty and I don't see anything new in the editor.
So am I doing something wrong, is the game bugged or what's going on?

Some interesting stuff was found via data collecting the Mario Maker website
Nobody likes making water levels. SMB3 is the least used style. Japan has made more levels.

I think part of the problem with water levels is movement feels imprecise and too floaty compared to out of water. It's not fun to slow things down in general. I imagine clever use of the tools could make fun water levels but how many people are interested in even trying? I'm not.

Well you don't have to choose only one. They're all great games you should eventually get imo.
As for right now idk pick the kind of game you like to play the most.

Let me encourage everyone in this thread to keep posting levels! This is pretty much the only way I play the game now, is GAF levels through this thread. The bookmarking is GAME CHANGING, and so is the check points! This is a 10/10 game for me!
I know others play differently: but I pretty much Star and leave at least one comment on every level that I play. I don't make very much, but I enjoy playing and knowing that my feedback is being read.
I couldn't finish your level dude, sorry. I left you a Star and a comment on your level where I got stuck. I think you need another check point just before that part with the P switch and the clown car throwing turtle shells. It was too frustrating to have to back track back to that point over and over again, I gave up.
I'll try your other stuff later though!

Do people prefer Miiverse comments or replies here? I don't usually have a device I can post to nearby when I'm on the Wii U so I leave my comments on the stage itself most of the time. If you ever see a Miiverse post signed /GAF odds are good it's me and I didn't want to forget to comment.
