The star is so you can run on top of the munchers and fly upwards (look at the coins). I beat the level with about 100 seconds left on the clock, but it definitely requires a couple of tries.

Mario Maker Too.
I do agree with what your saying but I think it would be nice to have the option. You kind of get that Dark Souls sense of accomplishment when you beat a level in one go but I can also see the appeal of having a checkpoint system for "easier" levels.
Hey GAF,
Great levels being shared here, I'll definitely try a few of them, tomorrow when I wake up with a fully charged Gamepad. It's never run out this much before!
Check mine out if you like, wouldn't mind a cheeky follow as well.
First is Trenches.
Trenches is a WW1 inspired level where you can either brave the hectic Koopa frontlines or you can dig underneath and blast your way through. Either way, try and make it to their medic tent and capture their flag.

Next is my first level, Scale the Castle. This has got quite a few stars but it doesn't seem that great to me. Maybe it's just the right length.
There's two ways to go: run across the bottom, or bounce across the roof, to get a prize before dropping down to the goal.

Last is my very best level, Thwomp Delivery Services.
In this, you must guide Thwomps, who carry P-switches, to where you want them, then grab the switch and run to the next part of the warehouse. There are 3 hidden 1-Ups. When dealing with large thwomps, always use star protection.

I don't know if many Youtubers are on GAF but if anyone does a video I'd be very happy to see it because I don't really have anyone who can test my levels for me!
Thanks for reading/playing, enjoy.

typo? I can't find it
I hear ya. I've tried to err on the side of too simple instead of realizing all of my friend's fears that it'll be some circus of terror inducing triple jumps.
If you introduced a predecessor to that stage with much lower stakes, you're on your way to a nice concept world with the one I played as an epic ending.
I've gone too far the other way, honestly. Now that I've unlocked the full set I'll probably do some more castles myself.
Fun level[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.
.I also played WARPED which was really cleverly designed.
Did you go the path up to the mushroom/fire flower? There are some tricky jumps, but I don't think it is unfair (you can even do the last jump without getting hit).
Also respect for you patience or completing it
Thanks! I was trying to make a condensed level similar to Luigi U, but i can see how it could be too demanding for some.
Your Mole Mountain level was fun. Smart pacing with the number of moles when progressing the level. The first one caught me off guard.

Sorry if this has already been asked but the thread just keeps ballooning. Is there any way to change which direction enemies are facing, left/right, vice versa?

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Out of curiosity, how far in the stage did you get and where did you have the most trouble?
But yeah I'll make a third one of these stages and label it Flying Spring Easy. I will see how people react to a version with little chance for death.

Earthquake Highway
EA41-0000-0030-7C61
This one is based on this concept I had before the game launched:
You go into a cave and cause an earthquake in the process of getting out, leading to a gap in the highway, a crashed car, and traffic backed up!

Afraid not, just start them next to a block

I did, so I had to do all those perfect jumps twice every time

Enemies will always be facing/walking in the direction they were spawned from, so if you've been moving right they walk left and if you've been moving left they walk right.
Imagine what would happen if you were moving right, and spawned an enemy that's also moving to the right...he would immediately walk off screen again and despawn. It might work if the player was moving quickly enough to the right, but if someone happened to pause in their movement to hit a block or something, it might be as if the enemy was never there at all. That could lead to really inconsistent levels, like if you need a koopa shell to break a block but because you paused in your movement he despawned himself, and now you're stuck.
I made a level with a theme inspired by the Forest of Illusion in Super Mario World. Unfortunately it doesn't look very good in the SMW style so it has to be played with the BAHs. Not very fitting but whatever.

Recreated Mega Man 2's Heat Man Stage: 03A7-0000-0031-04AD
Just played this one. Really liked it. That part with the single platforms that drop after a while is intense. Great work. First time playing with the Mega Man sprite so that was awesome as well. Really fun, moderate and fair difficulty level.
Reposting my level since I think it got buried yesterday. Would love people to check it out and let me know what they think of the difficulty. It seems like it's easy to misjudge how hard you're making a level since you are constantly trying sections to test and you become an expert at your own levels. I haven't had many people try it, but only two people beat it and I didn't think it was that crazy of a level.

Will be trying out more levels posted here today. This game came out at a perfect time with the NFL season starting. Now that the Packers game is done, it's a perfect time to watch some Red Zone and play and create some Mario levels. This will be my Sunday afternoon game of choice.
Played the games for three days.
The creation tool is easy to use. My GF loves it. I love it. Some user created levels are tightly built.
The game is lacking when playing user created levels.
Mainly, there is no incentive to try a user created level, for three reason:
1) A lot of player built levels plainly suck. I'm tired playing badly designed levels built around gimmicks, instant death or putting too many things on the screen. There is so many badly designer levels that I'm already tired of playing the 100 levels challenge... since I skip too many levels!
2) No sense of accomplishment to finish and master a user created levels. As soon as the levels is too hard, I don't want to finish it when it is badly designed. Even the good ones. It's fun but I don't have any incentive to master them. Why master it, since it doesn't matter? One way to solve this problem: Nintendo should implement a tournament for each user created level. Each level would have a ranking based on how long it took to finish the level. That way, we would have an incentive to play a user created level and master it.
3) In a way, coins and power-ups doesn't have any use... except in the 100 life challenge, but even for that, i doesn't take much life to end it.
Edit: One thing, I love to give constructive comments. But, why it automatically gives a bravo when I comment one of them...

I would totally pay $60 for a full 2D Mario with these enhanced World visuals.
Also, is this game 60fps? It's hurting my eyes and giving me mild headaches when things move fast.

Bummer, thanks.
I'd pay a fair amount of money if Nintendo released SMB, SMB3 and SMW in widescreen HD.
They looks so crisp and clear in Super Mario Maker is not even funny.
Call them VC Remaster or whatever.

That would be cool! They all do have visual enhancements to like backgrounds as well though, right?
Some really awesome levels in here guys! This one isn't as good as some of yours, but I'm proud of it.

It's a ghost mansion level. It can be a little tricky, but I tried really hard to give you hints and guides wherever I was able. So things will make sense as you go.

Yes, I know that Bowser and Thwomps can press them. Not sure what else. Just try it out!
So, I heard you were talking smack about the most useful and versatile object in the game Just kidding, but in all seriousness, the coin is THE most useful object in the game.
- They grab attention, so if you want a player to go somewhere, you place coins there and they will follow. Need to warn of a pit off-screen? An arc of coins will make the player jump.
- They have a pleasing sound and makes a counter go +1. That makes them desirable.
- They can be used as a reward without needing to include a level breaking powerup like a Feather or Propeller Hat. 10 coins (and a 1-Up mushroom) is plenty to reward a player for doing something.
- They can become platforms with a P-Switch.
If you're not using coins, I have a question: Why not? Coins are good stuff.

I just created my first course. I don't know how to upload a screenshot here though.

I wanted to make it challenging, but not teeth-grindingly difficult. But eventually I realised it was a lot harder than I expected; beating it all in one go to upload it was tough!
I'm interested in any feedback, but I'd advise staying away if you get frustrated easily. I'd say it's difficulty os on par with some of the stuff in Super Meat Boy.

I've just published a new level...
Koopa Shoota
Its a nintendo style level, with some basic puzzles using a koopa shell.
Walls and Falls
The first level I built around wall jumps when I first unlocked a couple of tiers worth of tools. The picture is rubbish (I didn;t know about the save on the place where you want to the screen until today).
Cheers,
Grant

I finished it.
Oddly, I think the most trouble I had, aside from just getting used to trampolines was the first fire shooting piranha plant. Making him shoot somewhere safe was much harder when I started thinking about him. It was easy the first few times where I didn't give it any thought.
Second most deaths came at the second piranha plant as that jump is somewhat last minute and you can graze the wall or the plant, either of which is fatal.
I definitely had a moment thinking "why are you asking this of me?!" when I saw the buzzsaws passing each other
It was good fun with clear focus on a single concept. I definitely learned a thing or two about making levels by playing it.
So i bought the game and immediately went into the play mode as soon as passing the minisclue tutorial. Yeah, creating aint for me dude.
I dont know how to play the game. Seems like theres a lot of horse shit levels on this "Course World" page that aren't worth my time.
Am I correct in saying there's no checkpoint system in levels? They also seem very very short.
Coolest level I played so far had me transform into zero suit Samus. I laughed my ass off as her music played.
Other than that what's the point. Whats my goal?
Should I play 10 Mario mode or 100 Mario mode.
Did Nintendo make any levels for this or is it all user stuff? I want to play a badass game.

There's 64 Nintendo levels in 10 mario challenge (8x8)
Thanks for giving it a go.
Hopefully it doesn't feel too unfair. I tried to make it so that even deaths would be a learning experience.More the merrier...

What did those Koopas do to you?

First level made! Meant to be a touch challenging for the average joe, 50 seconds, starts with a small Bob-omb section and then getting rid of some enemies with a Koopa shell, you fellows should have no issue with it. Would seriously appreciate feedback! Thinking of getting rid of the Bob-omb section and going for broke on the Koopa aspect to make it more thematically uniform with its title...and its ending.

Very cool level, really enjoyed the pace and how you can trust the coins for speed running
well plannedStrictly speaking, from a designer point of view, coins are useful. It gives clue to a player, and there is some positive feedback loop with collecting them.
But, when you play Mario Bros 1 (for example), coins will help you finish the games. You will have an incentive to collect them! But in Mario maker, if i play a level, I have no sense of use and accomplishment to collect coins, since it doesn't matter that much. One way to make it matter, would be that when you end a level, the games give you a score based on how many coins you have collected, how long it took you (the lesser the better), etc.

I did, so I had to do all those perfect jumps twice every time
but the fire flower makes the rest a little bit easier, so it is worth it. But I agree, the first jumps are pretty unforgiving. It was amazing to see how everyone dies at the very first jump and didn't proceed any further the first few hours after uploading ^^
I have made another level today. this time it is a SMW level that concentrates on spinning. I tried to have a learning curve in the level. First an mandatory use of spinning to get to know the concept, after that optional challenges and in the end mandatory spinning to end the level. I'm quite happy with the outcome.
7B9D-0000-0032-0110 (spin and win (3 hidden 1 ups))
as the title already indicated, there are 3 hidden one ups. getting all three ramps up the challenge a bit, but not too extreme. I'm looking forward to feedback
