just finished my third level, 'A Song of Ice And Fire'

ID: AADE-0000-001B-12DD

would love some feedback for this, had a blast working on it.

btw thanks to everyone who hasn't only been posting levels but also critiquing other people's creations, whether it is in here or on miiverse. this loop of trying out a whole bunch of levels, giving feedback and simultaneously reflecting on one's own design philosophy is not something you get to do everyday, i feel, and it is immensely valuable.

 

[Iced]

Can you change the sounds when you're placing things down? I HATE the roboty effects for everything.

 

[Stoze]

So guys... noob question: how does one unlock items and worlds? My little brother has been making a level for more than an hour now and he hasn't unlocked any thing new for a while.

You just have to place a crap ton of blocks down. Then it should say the next set of items came early.

Simple but fun! I like the idea of the 100 coin thing, and your level is fun to play through multiple times too!

Thanks man!

I'm gonna do a couple 100-level challenges, and then I'm gonna play a bunch of your guys' levels.

 

[atbigelow]

I really hope they keep updating this game. As has been pointed out, 1-UPs are a bit worthless since you can't make "worlds" or anything.

I would love the ability to make overworlds.

Also, a way to toggle the course preview in the listings would be easily implemented and is sorely needed. :/

 

[exfatal]

Everytime i shake a goomba they turn tiny and fall off screen how do i stop them from falling off screen

 

[AdanVC]

Looks like the biggest star of SMM right now is that guy called Niramou from France. Can't believe his most rated levels are the ones where you don't press anything haha. They are cool though.

Thank you! I just spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how to level input codes. Why is every other menu option able to be done with the controls and not touch?

Feelin' stupid.

Just played your level! Great pure block punching fun

 

[The Technomancer]

Finally finished my first level after hours of tuning. Probably could have done more but the game was hitting its item limit. I thought up this level back when we thought unlocks were only unlocked daily, so I limited myself to tier 1 items. Wish I could have used signs but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it.

ID: 4CF9-0000-001A-E873, title is The Rise and Fall of King Goomba. Gimme your levels, I've been in the creator since I got home (roughly 6 hours!).

I like this quite a bit. I feel like in the middle the claustrophobia isn't used to the same effect that it is towards the beginning and end

 

[LostComplex]

Made my first level.

Let me know what you guys think!

Just did my second course. Trying to make ones with some difficult jumping and alternate routes.

[Mike Double U]

Just put up a ? block and it'll have a coin by default.

Thanks! Haha, I can't believe I overlooked that.

And GAF, I made my first course! I only have the basic tools so far but my plan is to make it harder and more challenging with time. Please let me know what you think!

Sonic The Hedgehog Maker 101: 5D0D-0000-001B-3C2C

 

[jepense]

Unlocked the castle and SMB3 style, so of course, here is a fairly minimalistic castle:
AB92-0000-001B-436E

It's all about riding skull platforms and avoiding fire bars. It's easy to me because I know the intended path, but I'd like some feedback on how difficult it is for someone coming in blind.

 

[BlueSilver]

Watching someone try to beat Andre's Super Meat Boy-inspired level is hilarious. =D

 

[Ferrio]

So wait you can't unlock the fireworks and stuff and weird special effects that are in the prebuilt levels?

edit: oh they're tied to the sounds.

 

[SirUltimos]

My first full course. I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. Any comments are appreciated!

Okay, finally got something a bit evil to share

Course ID: 1067-0000-001B-1050

Spoiler

If you're having too much trouble I'll give a hint later on

This is really good outside of the uncooperative piranha plant.

 

[CubanBoy1127]

Wife made a level. Had to clear it for her. Please tell us what you all think.

One Jump

8618-0000-001B-5AEF

 

[Kriken]

This is really good outside of the uncooperative piranha plant.

Spin jump immediately after the bullet bills. To be honest, the Bullet Bill launchers were uncooperative on me a few times and that was something I went back and forth on

 

[Anteo]

I made a level:

9E20-000-001B-6261

Its a level with the day 1 and 2 tools. I want to make 4 levels with a similar theme so, time to unlock more stuff!

 

[autobzooty]

Okay here's a longer and more involved level from me. Please let me know any comments
Through the Mines
(811D-0000-001B-3E20)

That was rad, very cool level.

 

[JRBechard]

Heavily Populated Pit
BBB8-0000-001A-8E1F
This a challenging but not impossible underground levels, lots of droping platforms! Tell me what you think!

His Bowser castle was really good, definitely following him

 

[Alfredo]

My final level of the day: Yoshi Factory.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkjgXY5PXGs

This was a crap attempt at making a "narrative" based level. The story of "Where Yoshis come from," or something like that...

Course ID: 1EA6-0000-001B-1492

Now I just need to make a level in which all the Goomba's talk like Scott Steiner and all my dream levels from before this game's release will be realized.

First level I tried here on GAF and thank you for a level that isn't stupid. Great job. It's short and sweet. Can be hard but I still got through in one go, hits that nice "woah I am going to die omg I made it" moments. I'll follow you.

 

[Chubzdoomer]

I don't think it remedies the second issue though. I go into the editor, and it's sort of fun, but I just of burn out quick and just want to see what other people have done.

Perhaps level design just isn't for you, then? It's a pretty niche thing.

That was great! I lost like 10 times but it was fun haha! Thought but fair

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Spin jump immediately after the bullet bills.

Jumping immediately either gets me bitten after the spin jump ends or forces the piranha plant to stay in the pipe. It works 100% if I delay a bit, but it's a bit awkward to learn the timing. No big deal though.

Edit: By the way,

Spoiler

what do the wrong doors do? I chose the correct one the first time.

 

[Chubzdoomer]

I would love the ability to make overworlds.

That would be amazing. It's a crying shame they've given us such an incredibly intuitive and powerful level editor, yet we can't even link together levels or make overworlds. Those things alone would take the game to a whole new level.

Hey GAF! Do you like wall jumps?
Here is my Walljump Labyrinth!
I have a challenge for you: 1E9C-0000-001B-7A0C

 

[VICI0US]

Hey guys, just finished a pretty devious course

a lot of long jumps, some nasty traps, and a bit of trial and error.

check it out if you'd like a challenge!

pretty neat one, i thought the mr. driller-esque section was cool and probably something that could be expanded upon!

Fourth level, this time a castle level. Watch out for a hidden costume, and a sub area in this course! Tell me what you think!

1-4 Castle: 636D-0000-001A-2BA0

somehow had missed your previous levels so i had to play this one - i really liked what i played, it felt very fresh to me! only reason i stopped midway through is because i'm super tired and i probably wouldn't have managed the jump on the koopa on to the next platform after the pipe leading to the thwomp tonight, haha. hopefully i'll remember to get back to this, otherwise i'll be checking out your future levels, anyway!

First level I tried here on GAF and thank you for a level that isn't stupid. Great job. It's short and sweet. Can be hard but I still got through in one go, hits that nice "woah I am going to die omg I made it" moments. I'll follow you.

oh man, thanks! super glad to hear you enjoyed it. i hope you'll try out the other gaffer levels, as well, i think they're 1000x higher quality than the average level you come across in 100 mario challenge. be sure to check out the community showcase on the first page, too!

That was great! I lost like 10 times but it was fun haha! Thought but fair

haha, thanks! and good job! out of curiosity, did you go into the pipe?

I'd like to second this! I've been so sucked into the game that I've only played a couple of GAF levels so far but I plan to dig into it more. It's great seeing people giving feedback though and getting a Miiverse comment always feels SO AWESOME! I'm going to start commenting on my favorite levels just to pay that goodness forward.

This game REALLY needs custom tags. That'd be my #1 update request but I think it's probably the least likely. I'd love to be able to cycle through the NeoGAF tag list in-game. Or an "Auto" tag.

 

[Lady Siara]

Just realized you can skip the jail section of my level with a well timed jump. Booooooooooo. I assume you can't adjust things after you've uploaded them without reuploading right?

Thanks for the feedback everyone, have a few ideas on how to tidy it up a bit.

Trying out your level now.
Here's my first attempt would love some feed back
ID: F48A-0000-0018-7065

It was really difficult ahaha, I died so much. Finally got to the end and had decided that no, I cannot get to the top of the flagpole. The multiple paths you had going on were interesting.

pretty neat one, i thought the mr. driller-esque section was cool and probably something that could be expanded upon!

Funny thing about that, I had to scale it back some because the game was tearing from all of the blocks/coins.

 

[Teknoman]

Can another player have their own save profile based on their Mii?

 

[Wyndstryker]

Out of curiosity I made this abomination

Biggest waste of time ever

(FF1A-0000-001A-D7F0)

And it gets the most reaction out of people lol.

Protip: Don't play it unless you really want to waste time.

 

[Outtrigger888]

Hate to be that guy but can we get a Mario maker level share thread. The OT is getting blasted with levels from users.

Definitely needs a community thread.

 

[Megalosaro]

I just got a message saying that the multday unlock was patched out, but I just got a message saying they were coming tomorrow.

What gives?

 

[Anteo]

Just realized you can skip the jail section of my level with a well timed jump.

That doesnt have to be a bad thing. If I discovered something like that on one of my levels, I would add a up after the skip as a reward

I just got a message saying that the multday unlock was patched out, but I just got a message saying they were coming tomorrow.

What gives?

The unlock wasnt patched out, they added new ways to unlock besides the wait a day one. If you do meet the requirements you will get the new pieces right away

 

[Kriken]

Edit: By the way,

Spoiler

what do the wrong doors do? I chose the correct one the first time.

I said it was an evil level

Spoiler

One door takes the player back to the beginning and the other leads to a chamber with no escape

Made a second level! Don't hesitate to give me feedback

Just got finished playing around with my first course. Was trying to make something a little more realistic but not too crazy with the initial tools.

Koopa Romp Stomp - 4B9A-0000-001B-89C1

 

[MiamiWesker]

Unlocked the castle and SMB3 style, so of course, here is a fairly minimalistic castle:
AB92-0000-001B-436E

It's all about riding skull platforms and avoiding fire bars. It's easy to me because I know the intended path, but I'd like some feedback on how difficult it is for someone coming in blind.

Cool level, great idea. There was a part in the middle where if you jump on the highest platform you can't see the lowest one which you need to reach. Other than that I really liked it.

 

[amnesiac]

Am I correct in assuming that pipes can only work both ways? You can't make pipe B not go back to pipe A?

 

[Drago]

So I got a notification that I won't unlock any more mystery mushrooms from playing easy 100 Mario Challenge. Is that permanent? Does normal cap out after a certain amount of completions too?

Because I'm doing an Expert run right now and dear god... so many bullshit trial and error stages...

 

[Anteo]

Am I correct in assuming that pipes can only work both ways? You can't make pipe B not go back to pipe A?

afaik yes, but you can put pipe B on the ceiling so you cant go back anyways

The very fisrt piranha plant is evil! I was wall jumping at max distance and I hit it, it was out of sight before I got super close so I could not avoid it. Besides that its a pretty cool level.

Edit: meant to edit. sorry for dp

 

[iiicon]

My 7yo nephew has been working on this level for the last few hours, and I think it turned out really well. It could be tightened up in spots, but it's a competent Mario level with little gimmicks. Thought I'd share with you guys.
