Got two more SMB3 stages uploaded, one of them I put up yesterday so anyone nosing around my stages may have played it, in any case these two levels are simple enough that I'd like to think most people could play through them successfully.
Boo Buddy Bridge Busters- 13EF- 0000 - 0022 - 3870
Style: SMB3
Difficulty: Medium?
This was my first experience using sub levels so I wanted to try and tie in the sub area thematically with the overworld.
Also has a barebones "story" element to it that is the reason you have to detour through the sub areas in the first place, one boo alone can't break the river bridges but get a bunch of them together and those damn vandals!
Final area of the overworld has two possible shortcuts, one of them just involves skipping the final sub area entirely, oh what fun!
Tall Tall Tower: CB20-0000-002F-1AEE
Style: SMB3
Difficulty: Easy/Medium?
This was a stage I started on Friday before realising that I botched the layout due to my misunderstanding of pipes (they can only go to sublevels and back again, no linking them like doors).
But dammit, replacing these pipes with doors would ruin the visual sense of progression so I overhauled it with the sub area to bring my idea to life.
In execution it's just a pretty simple set of mini rooms focused on travelling upwards using a variety of gimmicks.
My main goal here was more of a vanity project to make it feel like you're moving up an actual tower, in that sense I'm really glad with how it turned out, paying attention to the smallest details like how a pipe you enter will exit as if it were perfectly straight going to the next floor, using the windows and clouds for visual elements.
Also has my favourite pointless secret area.
The first reminds me of why NSMB style is so fun to play.
The second is just a good concept executed well.
Perfectly fair level design here, it indeed feels very much like a lost SMW stage.
Great stuff, except I died by accidentally unveiling a hidden 1UP shroom, oh the irony?
Really the only change I'd make is so small and pointless it's barely worth mentioning.

Really enjoyed both of these.Made a new level. It is a medium difficulty course (at least imo). The goal is to have a good flow, otherwise beating could get hard (30 sec time limit)
5231-0000-002E-3989 (Show your Flow)
You could also check out my other courses:
FB9F-0000-0027-3106 (don't lose the bullet bill)
this is a castle stage with an intigrated escort mission. You have to escort a bullet bill up to the stage's end (2,66% competion rate)
The first reminds me of why NSMB style is so fun to play.
The second is just a good concept executed well.
I think I'm getting the hang of this. Didn't really have much of a concept in mind, so I figured... "Why not just do a pure platforming level?" No gimmicks. Start on the left, end on the right. Well, I can't quite help myself with adding secrets, so it has the usual three hidden 1-Ups, and actually over 100 coins, too.
Anyway, presenting my fifth:
Koopa Heights
4CF5-0000-002E-5063
Description: I wanted to do a Super Mario World style level. And I don't mean "a level with SMW's tileset". I mean a level that plays like a SMW level. This is that level. The only enemies are Red Koopas, and apart from the secrets, everything else is pure running, jumping, and timing. Mario at its purest.
Secrets: Three 1-Up Mushrooms and a Yoshi
So, anyone want to tell me how far off I am from a Super Mario World level here? I think I got pretty close... but I'm the creator, so I can't judge that. It should be beatable on the first go if you're careful. But there are a few tricky jumps, I'll admit.

That beanstalk vine near the start should eventually hit a stone block instead of just going offscreen for that truly authentic SMW detail.

Also looking for some feedback on this one, as I can't tell if the solution is obvious or not to players.

Whoops sorry for the large image in the previous page!
My code for The Experiment of Dr. Pianta if you lost it

I'm writing down a lot of your codes people, so I can then click "follow" and finally play al of your levels... it's a stupid process but works. Gaf unite!

Playing the 100 Mario challenge just taught me how many crappy levels already have been made. I had to press the skip button many times.
I can't believe some players think it's a good idea to throw in a bunch of enemies, items together to create total madness. Many levels were too difficult too, felt so cheap. Less is more!
Out of the 35 levels (I really skipped alot), there were only 5 who were fun to play.
This is because the game is fresh, right guys?

Heres my latest level 'Highway Star'
31D4-0000-002F-7DF5
Its a high speed jumper that is quite straightforward as I like fast long leap levels, but theres a bunch of secrets hidden if you miss certain gaps. I think its a pretty fun level!

Not really. Just play one of their courses and press the heart icon at the top right corner.
Secrets & Shortcuts is my best attempt at a "proper" SMW course. It's pretty long if you want to see it all.
AE3A-0000-002D-1281
Feedback is appreciated
Enjoyed your level a lot! Have a star.
Check out one of my levels if you can find the time. I'd appreciate feedback and a star if you like any of them.
The first one is a short but hopefully funny level.
The second one is a short progression style level.
The third one is a little hard. Completion rate is under 8%.
All levels have three hidden 1UPs!

Mummy on the Koopa Express - 1F88-0000-002F-3B2D
Koopa's train is delivering his treasures from an ancient tomb back to the castle, but Mario has his eyes on the golden wonders within the train. Sneak on board, grab the stash and get out before they find you - but watch out, they found more than just treasure in the tombs!
I tried to make a fun narrative level with this one, I'd really appreciate people trying it out and starring it if they like it

Players that make levels like that will just find more elaborate ways of trolling as time goes on, sadly.

I won't be able to play until some point next month, but just want to say thanks for this. I loved that level in SML 2.Hey gaf! Here's my level
Super Mario Land 2 - Hippo level
823A-0000-002D-338A
It's a remake from SML 2, it's more fanservice than fun I guess. Years passed and the water evaporated... but still you'll recognize what was underwater!
Didn't see it either, but I figured it's because it only refreshed at certain times?
I'm sure over time it will equalize out. It's just upsetting when I jumped on today and had to skip three levels in a row because they weren't hard, they were just poorly designed. The fourth I played was pretty neat tho. Then I just gave up for the day.
So hard I couldn't finish it. Might be my skill level, but it's kind of not obvious where you are supposed to go, and with so much happening at once you have no ability to focus on your intended path. I'm talking about the area with the Bowser, the springs and the fire cannons when you are travelling on the platform. I saw the coin arrow after a few tries, but I died many times even after. Otherwise really fun concept. Develop it a little further and play through it without "designer's eyes", try to see what a new player would see when he plays!
Fair enough! The clear ratio is currently 4.87% but I can complete it almost every single time without dying so I guess I didn't convey correctly to the player what he has to do. The first jump is meant to be cleared with bullet bills as well but with a safe ground bellow it covering most of the fall area. My wife played it too and she said she hates the hammer bros as well, gotta agree. Will leave this level as it is, but for me next levels I will try to balance things out better. Thanks for the feedback!
Didn't know this, thanks man.

Started playing it and will finish tomorrow, but looks great as far as i got. Gave you a star.My new level is full of secrets and alternative paths. It's been very hard to build so I hope someone of you will be very kind to me and play it.

Sky Pirates Never Die: 1285-0000-0028-EAF9

I also attempt to create stages that are based on the classic formula (introduce - expand - modify), while hopefully keeping the difficutly low enough to not become frustrating but remain challenging.
Here's a level I made that I'm pretty happy with:
It revolves around a slight puzzle mechanic that is introduced at the beginning and then continually expanded upon. I would gladly appreciate any sort of feedback.

Thank you for your feedback, I will have to go back through them and try to make some adjustments. I was going for challenging but completely possible but I think I may have to tone it down some, lol. If anyone else wants to try and give some additional feedback I would be extremely grateful.
If I ever do an actual Kaizo level... I must remember that. Death by hidden 1-Up Mushroom is the best trolling. And it wasn't even on purpose, there is a perfectly consistent theme to all the secrets in the level:
Red Mushroom Platforms have secrets.
It does. At the very top of the screen, it should hit a block.
Played both your levels and the are really well designed. Forgot to star the tower one, but it deserves a star. I downloaded the tower level too, so I can let my gf play it because it shows many fun platforming emements
Bowser's Star Run! (EEB6-0000-002A-687E)
My first difficult course. But it's actually pretty manageable, you just need to time seems correctly.
Here are some of my past ones too:
Run!!! (98C4-0000-0029-B43E)
Bowser's Ride of Death (9AAB-0000-0026-2065)
Zelda's Adventure! (638B-0000-0022-2C0D)
Jump Attack! (280B-0000-001C-AFD6)
Underground 1-2 (79DE-0000-001A-ED5D)
Underground 1-1 (9664-0000-0019-AA97)
Alright, I made my 4 first levels and had really fun time with it. I still miss lots of pieces but designing is still a lots of fun I already drained the battery of the controller 3 times today. I need to just plug it in.
Underground (E8F3-0000-0026-4C86)
This is the first level I made. It's still kinda WIP, since I don't have all the tools I want to use yet. Pro tip the pipe doesn't work yet.
Careful (68BC-0000-002B-F05F)
This time I tested out lakitus.. everyone loves them right?
Get fit eat cookies. (DBC4-0000-002C-80E7)
This is just level for Wii Fit trainer to collect some cookies (coins)
Castle fever (43F0-0000-002F-8714)
Next up is the worlds last level. I think, I might have overdid some parts here. I already updated it couple times to make it a bit more fair.

Only tried Show Your Flow right now. It was amazingly fun. Best Mario Maker level I have played yet, these are the kind of bite-sized "never not running" levels I would love to make!Made a new level. It is a medium difficulty course (at least imo). The goal is to have a good flow, otherwise beating could get hard (30 sec time limit)
5231-0000-002E-3989 (Show your Flow)

4CB6-0000-0024-631A (some jumps (and enemies ;-)))
nobody has beaten that level yet, although it is straight platforming without any gimmick. The first jump sequence is tricky and everyone died there until now. But after that it gets much easier (you don't have to be nearly pixel perfect after that). Exploration is rewarded, but also has a high risk. Give it a shot,
6247-0000-0022-703A (Wall Jump Cave)
The name is program (except for a little jump sequence in the middle, most people die there). Also the stage has a small puzzle at the start, which can break the stage, so be warned. The completion rate is 11,53%.
E24D-0000-0017-8076 (let the shell flow)
The title already gives the trick to the level away. This was my first level. The completion rate is 20%.
I'd love to get some feedback from you

When I sleep all o could think of is this game. When I'm out of the house all I can think of is making more levels. I think this is the most fun I've had with a game in so long.
