So, I'm being pretty stupid I think. But how do you place mystery mushrooms in your stages? I think I have all items for creation unlocked but I can't find it anywhere in the menu?

So just what I feared would happen has happened. I can't find the 8 bit mario amiibo anywhere in the US for under $40. I wanted it included in the game like PAL!

Sorry if this has been answered but how do you use pipes to transport to another area? Thanks!

Making levels with the NSMBU skin is tough. I spent a few hours building a castle level because I really like the graphical style and wanted some wall jumping sections, and then suddenly realised you could break the entire level because of the spin jump invincibility. In the end I just retooled it into a SMB one. I thought it would be the style I used the least, but because of the lack of extra moves, it's the one I use the most.
If you've unlocked Sub Areas then just drag Mario to a pipe in the editor.

You should still finish your level, there's never too many train levels XD
Thanks, it's had a few good hours put into it
If anyone wants to hone their wall jumping a bit, I made this stage which is designed to teach people the technique quickly. It starts easy, no unfair stuff. But each sequence is slightly more challenging than the last
I hope I got the balance right.Same here. But I don't even like AC. *cries*

Okay, been working on this one for a while and I'm really proud of it. I came up with a level gimmick that made for some interesting level design and visual design, though I wish I had taken a better upload picture:
Chain Chomp Zoo
5AE2-0000-0030-E6D6
If you've ever wanted to play a level full of Chain Chomps, now is your chance. The semi-solid platforms of SMB3's Undergound added a lot to the visual design, you should check it out.

Okay guys I made three new stages that I'm SUPER proud of! Gettin' the hang of this stage making thing. I really want you guys to try them and maybe hand me a few stars if you enjoy them. I focused on making them fun this time around... like really focused on it. I know it sounds obvious, but the other stages I made focused on being cool/challenging. As always, I'll play and star all of your guys levels if you drop me a PM with the code. I'll even comment and give feedback!
Pacman Fever
(8038-0000-0030-897D)
This is a minigame so don't think you can beat it the way you could a traditional Mario level. This is an homage to the father of gaming as we know it. Here's looking at you, Puckman.
Yoshi's Rad Racing Coaster
(EAEC-0000-002F-DCD5)
Alright now this one can be a bit tough, but it's not at all unfair. Yoshi's built a twin racing coaster in his basement. Think you can ride it all the way to end? Note: try not to be mad at Yoshi as he laughs at you from the safety of his operator's box. How many times have you used him to save yourself?
Steampunk Castle Crusade
(E222-0000-0028-D662)
This one I designed to be a unique castle stage at the end of a near final world. It's steampunk styled, so its exterior is airship-like. When making this stage, I kept all that I knew about Nintendo's design philosophies in mind. I played it over and over, tweaking elements that didn't feel Nintendo enough. I'm happy with the end result, and I feel like it could easily blend in with the rest of the levels in New Super Mario Bros. U.
------------------------------
Now, these next two stages I've posted before, but I never explained them the way I did with the new three. I will do just that and hopefully give more people the opportunity to play them.
Bowser's Heavy Metal Battalion
(721B-0000-0025-1463)
I absolutely love this stage. I wanted to make an autoscrolling level with unique boss encounters peppered in, but I also wanted to make sure the difficulty was just right... as I found the boss fight in my previous stage had caused most players to rage quit. What resulted was Bowser's Heavy Metal Battalion. It's a procession of tanks, each harder to beat than the one before it. It's got a good sense of speed, so I used Captain Falcon to convey that... and for the cool factor. The scrolling, the conveyor belts and the sawblade wheels give the illusion of moving vehicles. Kinda neat, huh?
Assault on Goomba Factory
(CF0E-0000-0022-6B6D)
This level was meant to be a self contained adventure story, told through sound effects. You start out outside of the factory, go inside the machine itself... see its horrors (transforming mushrooms into Goombas)... break the machine and gum up the works... then face off with the factory's malicious mastermind, Bowser, in an epic confrontation. After beating Bowser, you flee the exploding factory... just because I enjoy the cliche. It needs a little fine tuning, but it's still an awesome stage that I hope you see to the end.
So yeah, those are five stages I think you guys will have a ton of fun playing. Like I said before, if you like em' feel free to toss me a star and even follow me. PM me a list of your stages and I will play and star every single one of them.
Thanks for playing. (If you do!)
Quoting this for a new page. Haven't had any feedback on the Pacman level yet! Also, PM me some stages, I have all these stars and no one to give them to.

If you keep playing after using all of your new tools, the shipment will arrive "sooner than expected".

Specifically
Play for five minutes to get the "The truck will arrive tomorrow!" of each set, then lay down 1000 items (just fill a level with coins) and the truck will arrive early.
Do this for every set and you'll have unlocked everything in half an hour.
Nice. It's got a good "Don't stop for nothing!" vibe going for it. Good use of coins to clue the player into what they should be doing.
The spiny on the trampoline is a cute touch.
Tried it a bunch. I really think you're onto something with this as a sub-genre/stage type, but this doesn't feel like it should be the stage to introduce that notion.
For instance, the first area could have a floor and a way to get back up to the top and try again, like the rope swinging sections in Wind Waker allowing someone to fail without having to begin again.
I feel like I'm well into "special worlds" in this stage, but maybe that's because this stage now comprises 90% of my Mario trampoline jumping time
Really well thought out and executed.

Nice idea, but if you don't move at the start of the level, Bowser kills himself and you can't even be harmed.
Was this intended?
Nice one, I especially loved the ending
where another Yoshi is waiting for you in Yoshi's home
Gwar har har! Solve my maze!

Description: Lakitu Bowser! I mean, a P-Switch using maze with Bowser barraging Mario with fireballs. Only the Axe can stop him. So hurry!
Secrets: The usual three 1-Up Mushrooms. Now with less instant death.
Great little maze, enjoyed it! Wasn't hard at all.

So you have to unlock the ability to store more levels or something?
Not store, upload. The more people like your courses the more you can upload.
It's far from ideal but you could use miiverse for that if you really want to. You still have to manually enter the level ID though.
It's really strange and disappointing that you can't directly pick levels from miiverse and play them (like in MvsDK). You would think Nintendo would use this neat function they already implemented for one little eshop game in their biggest release for user generated content.
I did at 1st. My 1st bunch of level attempts were trying to be overly complex or creative and nothing felt like it was working well.
What I then started doing was making levels with 1 simple idea at it's core, and then I tried to expand upon that to see what I could create. I'd have other small things like enemies or short platforming sections to change the pace a little, but otherwise that 1 mechanic was the only thing that mattered.
After changing up how I thought of making levels, they started getting much better with each one. I also found it easier to come up with different ideas.
Couple more levels I made! Would appreciate feedback/stars. Hope you like them both
Pipes, Plants, and Peril - (10B4-0000-0030-ABB9)
A fairly simple underground level. Nothing too challenging, designed to be fun. I'd say it's maybe "world 3" level hard.
Captain Bowser's Pirate Fleet - (DD3D-0000-0030-C5B6)
Themed to be like a pirate ship that's carrying treasure. It's a bit of an open level that can be a little challenging in spots.

I originally had planned on having a final section involving Yoshi, but I thought it would've messed up the levels pacing if I did that. The level is already pretty long anyway
You guys might remember the reviewer that made that awesome Metroid U level. Well, the guy made a new version and it's even better. You guys should definitely try it if you want to experience a Metroid-like design. This is a real Metroid level, not a silly Amiibo showcase.

Wow. That was amazing to watch.
Couple new courses from me. I think they're halfway decently designed in the Super Mario World design, so I'd really love you guys to check 'em out and give me suggestions for improvements!
Baddie Bridges D8C2-0000-001E-B589
Fairly simple platforming course that focuses more on fun than challenge. Hopefully y'all find it fun.
Mushroom Top 54FC-0000-0017-9818
Another fairly simple platforming course trying to replicate the aesthetic of all those awesome Super Mario World mushroom top courses.

Cool.
And can you upload entire Worlds, or make entire Worlds? Or is it just individual levels? I've been watching streams and am a little confused.
Thanks for playing my 'normal' classic Super Mario Bros. levels guys! This is the last one for today.
Discovery Caves
Again, a pretty chill level with some difficult parts, this time underground. There are a few different routes to take to get some extra's, but how and why is up for you to figure out. You won't be throwing the controller at the screen from this level but still, it's no cakewalk either. Hopefully pretty balanced.
Information:
Name: Discovery Caves
Code: 0DE2-0000-0031-6BD2
Based on: Super Mario Bros.
Had to really work to finish this one but well worth the effort !

I'm sure I'm not the first to notice, but if you leave the creator idle for a few minutes, flies start to appear on the screen and if you tap one, you get the full Gnat Attack game from Mario Paint. I didn't know about this at all until I stumbled upon it a few days ago, cool little easter egg!

...KK Slider is KK Laglisse in French? Sounds like some weird porn name... :x
Just single levels.The slots for saving are titled 1-1. 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-1, etc but you can't make your own worlds.

I'm having the problem that I'm designing the kind of stages that I want to play. Which ARE levels that offer special world level difficulty. But I hear you. To be honest I don't think falling down is the hard part of the stage at all. And with that in mind I believe you're right that there's no reason I couldn't have a safety net on the floor instead of death, particularly early in the level.Tried it a bunch. I really think you're onto something with this as a sub-genre/stage type, but this doesn't feel like it should be the stage to introduce that notion.
For instance, the first area could have a floor and a way to get back up to the top and try again, like the rope swinging sections in Wind Waker allowing someone to fail without having to begin again.

Very cool version of his idea and I got pretty far on my first try. Got to the Super Star but then I ended up on the giant Munchers again and didn't know where to go and what to do.
I guess I should have cleared the Munchers with the star while still having the Leaf but the Star ended and I lost the Leaf with 30 seconds left on the clock.
The run needs a pretty much perfect execution to get to the goal. Might give it another shot tomorrow.
I made a level inspired by The Last of Us! >

I played the second one. Really well designed but maybe a little too easy. I'd say take out the star at the end and maybe change the fire flower for a mushroom. Those 2 power ups make the hammer brother kinda pointless.Couple new courses from me.

IMO it does help encourage dialing back on overwhelming the player and pacing the level with doing it in one go in mind. Also adds an element of power up pacing as well to replenish the player's strength. It might come off as an inconvenience but could ultimately lead to better design practices.
[Sorry for the sudden repost, I screwed something up so badly that I deleted it and reuploaded.]
I'm back with another not-too-difficult but (hopefully) amusing level. This one explains the age old question of why Peach was always in another castle.
Peach's Escape (1D2E-0000-0031-94E6)
For those who enjoy secrets, see if you can find the alternate ending. I nearly used up the block limit on this one.
