Anyone playing it and actually enjoying it?
Just beat all of the events, and I have to say, what the fuck. Those were some of the least fun and most annoying levels I have ever played. Plus I only got 2 skins, though from looking at the stages, you would imagine there are 4 skins to be collected from these events.
The real kicker? No fucking checkpoints in any of these dogshit levels even though that's the main point of this update.
>>315531850
In Arino's case, levels weren't designed with checkpoints in mind because they didn't exist at the time and they are annoying because he was going for laughs at the Nico Nico event not proper level design
Here OP, let me pick your thread up with a little shilling.
Ejem...
Sick from that 100 mario run? How about helping our boy Ike in his totally canon adventure?
Ike quest to defeat the dragon - Now with checkpoints for the redditors coming to visit.
7958-0000-00D6-8D8E
>>315533318
Ya obviously, so why troll us and make us play a shit level that was made to just be annoying?
Doesn't excuse the others. They all sucked ass and I did not enjoy a single one of the levels even though I love Mario.
>>315531850
Did you try any of the levels by the official makers yet? Bowser's Puzzle Dungeon is a solid hard-but-fair level.
>>315536016
I just did all of the event ones.
Where do you find those and do you earn anything for beating them?
>>315533637
Just completed this level. Using the thwomps to defeat Bowser was a clever idea.
>>315536987
Press the Toad on the course world menu.
Gonna shill my level here, its a recreation of Airmans' stage in Rockman no Constancy (MM2 romhack)
>>315536987
>Where do you find those and do you earn anything for beating them?
I believe it's Course World > Makers > Official Makers
I haven't played any of those yet. I don't think you earn anything from them.
i made an Arino stage, i call it Arino visits Burgerstan (again)
0CA3-0000-00D8-24D7
I'll play a few stages until i have to go to work. right now i'll just play the one other stage shilled here.
>>315531850
I sure do. I did update my levels with checkpoints.
Which are my 5 levels of course:
It's A Nice Day - 2.0: 2447-0000-00D7-E123
Underground Time - 2.0: 70D9-0000-00D7-E26D
The Weird House - 2.0: 15D3-0000-00D7-E36C
Bowser's Big Revenge - 2.0: 2349-0000-00D7-E4AA
The Green Airships - 2.0: 410D-0000-00D7-E630
I still got my older levels with no checkpoint, if you look at my uploaded levels.
The Zelda event one was ok, nothing special. The others were all pretty bad, but to their credit they are at least levels. A lot of what I see in 100-Mario-Challenge can't even really be called a level.
Anyone mind trying my level? I personally think it's my best but it was only up for a day before the update came out, so I threw in checkpoints and reuploaded it.
12FC-0000-00D6-C4DF
>>315531850
The event stages are alright, I'm just glad we have checkpoints because now I can get to work on the sequel to the campaign I made.
Speaking of which, the entire first "game" now has checkpoints, so give it a shot if you haven't yet, its contained within the thumbnail.
The first world of Bit Crusade 2 is now done, as well as something extra.

Enjoy. Going to play the levels in the thread starting from the top.
>>315533637
You're first.
>>315531850
The Zelda level was worse.
>>315539397
it's pretty good but too easy for me. love the alt paths in the airship area.
Remember guys, it's okay for a level to not have checkpoints...
>>315536016
The levels by Mary. O are surprising bad.
>>315539984
I had to dumb down all my levels because no one could beat them. In this case I focused mostly on the design and even removed a ton of wing hammer bros at the end
>>315540051
Yes, there are times when they absolutely should be included though.
The only event level that really deserved one through was the Love Ship, it was a pretty long level.
>>315540210
shit of love more like...
I'm annoyed I have to reupload my shit to add checkpoints and I lose all my goddamn stars.
>>315540427
see >>315540051
If your level was already a good level it's still a good level. I would only retrofit checkpoints into especially long levels personally.
How's everyone doing with Gnat Attack hard mode?
>Hard mode gnat attackTWOFUCKINGWATINGAS
>>315540164
if you remove rng enemies and keep enemies that always follow a routine, you can make very challenging but fair levels.
of course, rng enemies are Hammer bros, Kameks, Bloopers, Chain Chomps (still chained) and of course bowser.
>>315540541
i can't win it because i can't tap fast and accruately enough. it's a shame for me because ei want the fighter fly.
>>315540550
It's worth the pain.
>>315531850
How is there still no Daisy costume yet?
>>315540791
Kacho best costume
Can someone give me some feedback on my latest level?
>Forgotten Chateau

Escape the Dungeon with...Arino?!
>58A2-0000-00D7-E543
I went back and changed the mystery mushroom as well as a few other things in my original level that a lot of folks here on /v/ enjoyed about a month and a half ago. Haha.
>>315539397
I'll play your level now and leave a comment.
It's shit.
>>315540427
You only lose the star COUNT for the courses you delete. You don't lose any of your overall star or medal totals. Stars earned are permanent.
>Undodog's level features a cat taking a shit
>>315531850
The Arino stages are poorly made but aren't even that hard, especially the one that gives you the costume. By the way, best mystery mushroom in the game.
>>315539864 here
>>315533637
First off lol at the gif. As for the level you posted, I thought it was pretty sweet. It feels like a self contained adventure. The boss was awesome, luring the thwomps to kill bowser is pretty clever. I played a few of your other courses, and dug the ones I played.
Following, gonna play some more of yours later, when people have so many I do them in groups so I get a sampler.
>>315538434
You're next
>>315540510
I have a few long ones.
>>315541371
The count is what people look at when deciding to play shit though. No one wants to play a 0/0.
>>315539397
Just played it. Very nice looking level! Good job.
>>315540791
woah shit there's 7 other costumes?
>super bakarhythm land
>>315542682
coming soon.
i played a round of expert mario, i already have the 100 initial costumes and the game said i was done, so that's all of them for now.
>>315541905
i watched the arino mario maker special. it spoiled the surprises for me but it also helped me overall buy the game.
somebody actually fell for the arrow of coins in stage two, and arino's happy reaction when he gets a troll death is endearing.
my own biased opinion, but i think every GCCX fan needs to make their own arino stage. show some appreciation for japan's only world celebrity.
>>315540963
Not a big fan of huge maze-type levels, but your level design is pretty cool. Worth a definite star
Piranha Lake of Fire (now with checkpoints)
C5FD-0000-00D6-80E8
A very HOT level in which Mario goes through a lava lake with the help of moving platforms
Fish and Cheep-Cheeps Cave

In this level Mario explores a cave full of bouncing fishes
All my other stuff in pic related (rip Mirror Tower ;_;7)
>>315542089
i gotta go to work but thanks for playing my stage again, Keith.
i'll give a few of your stages a go again when i come home. even the older stages i found new again when you reupload them. you're really one with Mario Maker.

A level that can be trekked through the summertime or winter time. Summer brimming with life, and Winter being slippery and cold.

Any of these, the bonus in particular.
>>315539864
>>315543646
No prob. I tweaked a few things here and there in addition to the checkpoints. Nothing major, just transitional powerups and such, nowhere near as big a change as the first reup. I feel like I've come quite a ways from when I started.
>>315543394
I dislike mazes myself as well. Can this really be considered a maze?
I've never seen a Japanese person make a "fun" custom stage. Instead they all use artificial difficulty by jamming it full of invisible blocks and misdirection.
That's not fun.
I made a puzzle level centered around using beetle shelmets to bounce objects off of Mario's head. Feedback is always appreciated.

Had to reupload to add a checkpoint, but it was fairly popular.
Anybody mind giving it a whirl?
The only inexcusable event level was that facebook hackathon "winner". The rest were mostly demonstrations on an old version of the game and for IRL trolling on people who knew nothing about SMM.
I think Nintendo is trying to teach us level design with the Mary O levels
please enjoy my new level, Kacho's Quest
5DA7-0000-00D8-4013
there's two pathways though i recommend the lower one
Got a new and improved shilling image ready. The newest level on my account is more of a little toy than a full-fledged level, but I'm including it for now since not a lot of people have played it yet.
The bottom section is for more P-Spike levels (which are not on my account, but on the account of my friend who collaborated with me on Seafarer and P-Spike Ruins), since P-Spike Ruins is the most popular level either of us have uploaded. There's a practice level there for people who still need to get better at P-Switch jumping, a medium-difficulty level (which was mostly made by me!), and a level that's even harder than Ruins (that I haven't even beaten yet).
Gonna start playing through levels ITT in a bit

What? I change mine every time I make a new level.
>>315543917
Played the first four stages. They're really fun and even feel like a legit Mario game. Though I wouldn't normally expect to see bill blasters in the first stage, but otherwise I liked the design!
>All these connection errors
Fug
Anyway I still need to delete and then reupload a level like before if I want to change something, right?
>>315547393
Thank you for playing my levels! But can you answer these questions, relating around the first level:
1. How can I make it more "1-1" like?
2. How can I make it easier?
3. Would you like to see anything else in this level?
I want to make my levels perfect, man. Criticism is what I need.
Bowser's level looks cool as fuck but i'm way too weak to even get past the P switch part.
>>315547615
>Anyway I still need to delete and then reupload a level like before if I want to change something, right?
yes
Ready to keep the shilling going, The Abyss, The Sky and Back comes to you with a brand new checkpoint! Help Mario on his trip out of the shadowreal.

Have some animu catgirl to get your attention.
>>315547615
Yes.
Of course, if you have plenty of free slots you can leave the old version up to hopefully gather some stars.
>>315539864 again.
>>315547964
>How can I make it more "1-1" like?
Lose the bill blasters, the contrast with the lush easygoing setting.
>How can I make it easier?
The above reason, other than that, the level doesn't really need to be easier than it is. Its an introduction to a game for normal people, not lobotomized ones.
>Would you like to see anything else in this level?
Yoshi, since he can eat the wigglers. Gives more movement and gameplay options without affecting the difficulty too much.
Other than that, there's not much else that really needs changing, hell I think its fine the way it is now.
>>315539397
Sweet airship man. The castle room aesthetic was really appealing to me for some reason.
Overall difficulty was pretty good. Following, gonna play a few more.
>>315540963
You'll be after him.
Can someone tell me if this level came out well?

TRIGGERED
>>315533637
This level is very fun but it needs some serious work
The fire pit jumping sequence just after the checkpoint leaves zero head clearance for the player
The Bowser fight is a little too tight in terms of where you can go (if you don't have the mushroom, it's almost impossible)
Just give the player a bit more space in certain areas (the beginning of the level was perfect for this) and it'll be even better
Played the event courses, kinda forgettable except the Facebook contest winner IMO, loving the checkpoints tho made a Zelda themed level and the checkpoints kept it from being too much of a long hassle of you die
3925-0000-00D8-13AF
Star if you like it, if you leave a comment I'll play and probably star Atleast 2 of your levels
>>315549485
My bad, I didn't see the other mushroom that drops during the fight
>>315539864
I love this, and I want you to know I'll eventually beat every level.
I updated a bunch of my old courses, but left the old versions up too. Haven't had time to make anything new yet, but I've got a couple ideas.
Shilling the first level I've made in weeks. Hope some of you like climbing vines and avoiding buzzsaws, threw whatever I thought up together mostly to try out the new checkpoint and stacked power-up thing.
Molten Buzzflower Fields

>>315549139
Pretty fun, I was thinking of doing a similar idea. Second half is oddly tame, feels totally possible without the star (though harder, obviously), so that's a little weird. Timing of the star locations is good!
Holy fuck, Undodog's level is pretty fun for a level where you can't die.
Wonder how Mashiko got in front of him, about to play her level.

Yea friend, the second part was suppose to have that "shit got intense" feeling to it. I am also aware that the pipe with the mushrooms on the last battle is kinda far, my bad bro.
btw I love all of you and I didnt answer because the second I posted the level I went to edit more.
>>315549025
Thank you so much! Yoshi really does add to the level. Here it is, tell me what you think:

>>315531850
Event stages are fine.
Checkpoints are 10/10.
Shame there's only 2 per level (1 main level, 1 sub level) but it works fine. Considering you'd have to test it from each checkpoint to upload it's probably for the best.
I like the Triforce Heroes costume.
Is Nintendo serious with the 100 mario challenge?
This shit takes years to complete
16+ (usually) badly designed levels to get 1 (ONE) costume? What the fuck?
Is there something I'm missing here?
You'd literally need to complete over 1000 levels to get everything
>>315539864 here.
>>315549801
Thank you, good luck if you tackle the whole thing from the beginning. Be sure to tell me what you think, I think you're in for a fun ride.
>>315539397
Holy hot damn, this was fucking good. I'm glad levels like these are more viable now that we have checkpoints. Following the shit out of you.
>>315551327
Glad I could help, I'll run through it after I play >>315540963.
Gonna take a break to stretch my hands and work out for a bit. I'll keep lurking though and post a few of my levels.

Does anyone have the monthly "best off" level pics? Did you guys continue to do that after September?
>>315552137
Don't you get tired of posting your levels in every single one of these threads? And keep referring to your own post so you get tons of free replies to grab the attention of people watching the thread?
>>315550516
Thanks, only really applied that toward spots where I wanted people to actually TRY to get there instead of just taking a hit to reach it.Though that isn't stopping people from taking a hit on the path there, but it doesn't seem worth it to do for a Mushroom as Small Mario.
>>315551208
Yeah I'm considering adjusting the level for a little more variety and less bullshit like what you mentioned.
>>315551743
You're not.
You could useamiibosthough
>>315552319
Only ever saw the September one. The ones featured on Nintendo's website are pretty good.
Did you guys notice that the worst levels always use the NSMB theme?
>>315549978
I appreciate the concept but this level is making me rage pretty hard. I feel like I'm getting robbed every time I die, rather than just failing a hard level (I like hard levels!). In particular, everything about the P-Switch section after the checkpoint is so fucking jewish. I do like the aesthetic and the beginning wasn't bad, but man give a nigga a break.

>>315552686
There's a website??
>>315550039
Thanks for the feedback, I wanted to try two different things with it- one being a level that would hurt you if you ran out of time and one that would leave you with a more difficult situation if it ran out. Guess the second part is a bit weird all things considered though.
>>315552857
I don't understand how they found it so hard to implement checkpoints in the game
Also this pretty much completely rules out Zelda Maker and slopes.
>>315553238
Why slopes though?
They wouldn't say anything in this interview.
This is a series with a couple design cues from DKC, each level has two secret rooms if you're a keen player.
This is the first level with checkpoints. Water levels are normally unfun so for this world I'm trying to come up with mechanics that would make playing through more fun than normal. For this one, bombs will create a path for you as you play.
>>315552707
the skin makes it so tempting to do something terriblesomething like this
>>315553238
Yeah I'm not sure why that seemed so hard. I guess they thought asking the player to clear their level more than once to upload wouldn't be okay until everyone said they'd be fine with it?
Honestly I never really thought Zelda Maker was in the cards. Zelda is an adventure game, you can't really do much with pre-set tiles and tools. You'd need full art tools and more for it to be viable IMO and that's asking too much from an elegant user-friendly product.
>>315540117
Mary. O and the pidgeon are nintendo being cheeky cunts and pointing out what most people upload and what they SHOULD be uploading.
>>315553869

>Usgamer: Is this update a one-time affair, or can we expect to see additional additions to Super Mario Maker—provided they fit your time and resources, of course?
>Tezuka: We do expect to hear continued requests from the community and the player base, and one of our biggest goals is to get as many people as possible to enjoy Mario Maker. We definitely want to fulfill these requests, but we can't promise anything at this time.
Basically "yeah maybe LOL"
>>315552874
Yeah believe it or not Nintendo have made their own website for Super Mario Maker. Can you believe that? A vidja game? Having its own website? WOOAAH! THIS IS THE FUTURE!!
>>315553238
More than hard, I can sense from this interview that the creators are a lazy bunch of old geezers with no imagination left.
>>315554010
To me it sounds pretty definitive that there will be more updates. Just don't expect every wish to be fulfilled (I wouldn't bet on slopes for example). But easy stuff like more enemies and maybe even themes I think we can expect to get.
>>315554046
smm has plenty of imagination in it though
>>315554010
Meh, it's the usual generic PR answer.
Sakurai pretty much said the same thing and look how things truly ended up being.
I expect another update next month.
Also later I shall play the level posted here and then work on a new level I've been thinking about, then it'll be time for my new project which is a series of 4/5 levels following some kind of storyline.
Haha time for shilling!
MegaMario Thwomp Man: 6E3D-0000-00D6-9806
This is the latest stage in a megaman-esque campaign I'm making. If you like it make sure to check out the others and/or follow for more. I'll be revamping and reuploading all the stages after I'me done, including adding checkpoints to the ones posted so far. Any and all feedback is appreciated and I'll always return the favor.
>>315552449
Don't you get tired of policing the the thread for people that you think post too much? What do you care? I just want to share some fun levels with other people that enjoy the game, and so newcomers can try them too. I usually only post my set once a thread.
Posting keeps the thread alive you dangus, and at least I'm not flooding the board with huge lists of levels (though I did at first admittedly). You have any levels you want to be played? Or are you just looking to cause some shit? If it's the latter then kindly do pic related.
>>315554220
Most Japanese are off for the new year so I'd expect the next one probably in February.

I think so.
>>315554010
One has to be utterly retarded not to expect more updates at this point.
>>315554374
The game desperately needs tags, and the ability to exclude tags of your choice from appearing in 100MarioChallenge
>>315552765
Appreciate the feedback, gonna tweak the difficulty post-checkpoint so it's a little more fair. Might rework the whole post-checkpoint part altogether while keeping the general concept I had in mind.
>>315554436
Unless they have something on the backburner then I don't think a December release is likely, and January is too close to the new year for new releases.
>>315554262
I read these threads and play a couple levels that look interesting in them. I don't think my levels are good enough to share yet.
Replied to you for the first time, so no I'm not tired of it obviously. And now I'll fade into nothingness again, playing levels that look neat.
>>315554374
Sadly you can't opt out of your shit showing up in 100 mario. And even worse 100 mario is the only way nintendo felt was needed to expose players to other people's levels.
>Hit the upload limit and have 13 stars to go.
I'm actually not bothered by this upload limit system. It's just telling me I need to git gud at making levels.
Posting a recent level I'm fairly proud of.
As long you pay attention to the title of the stage, you'll be fine.

>>315554374
They should make all creators have to finish their level without hitting a single hidden block desu.
I thought the triforce heroes stage was pretty cool
but the official maker levels are where it's at, ignoring mary o and the pigeon. they're all fantastic levels.

>I wouldn't bet on slopes for example
I don't know. Have you noticed checkpoints can be roteated in a position that hints at slopes being added later?
Main issue with levels in the 100 Mario challenge is when people design it to be precision timed jumps with the level feeling incomplete in the process.
I usually skip levels that are too long and unfair or that have that "do this one thing at this one moment or you have to die", and now with this new checkpoint glitch I feel like it'll get worse.
User levels were half a mistake.
>>315554939
The way they're positioned when they rotate is actually so they can hang on the corners of blocks. I mean, I definitely hope slopes are added, but they're a lot more of a pickle to solve than many other requested additions.
>>315554229
The beginning part with the three Thwomps at different heights is hard to get through without losing a mushroom. It had this section that I thought I was supposed to go through (had the hard blocks on the curvy platforms.) I did like how you used stacked thwomps to make that thwomp tower in the mid section.
Add a subtle difficulty curve and make these levels more straightforward, just like Mega Man.
>>315555103
>checkpoint glitch
what is it this time?
>>315555103
Completely agree.
If your level depends on pixel perfect gameplay, you're just bad a designing levels. Unless you explicitly label your level with some challenge (which is completely fine as it lets the user know what to expect), it's impossible to expect people to replicate without frustration the idea for a level-clear that you had in mind. Just because you made the level and it only took you 5 tries to beat it, doesn't mean we'll have the patience to do the same.

I don't mind one or two pixel perfect long jumps as long as they're adequately telegraphed but other than that yeah.
Just spent about 7 hours tweaking my old stage to add more content, redo existing stuff, and add checkpoints.
If you look closely you can see which pipes go to secrets because I rebuilt part of the subworld into the main world (and even duplicated some parts on the same world for doors) so you can see where they actually go. Pay attention and it will be much easier.
I REALLY like how this level turned out. I don't think I'll be able to top it any time soon.

There isn't.
I guess you can just download romhacks and use lunar magic to make your own, game engine's better, but online functionability sucks.
>>315556935it's okBut you can skip the whole thing if you keep running right, rather than take the longer, more arduous path.
>>315556935
That was shit.
I get what you're trying to do but it's just not enjoyable or well designed at all.
It's irredeemably boring and I exited before touching the goal out of spite.
It'd be better to do the same concept but in rooms rather than a continuous level so the player actually has a reason to care about the enemies other than as a visual flair on their casual, baby stroll to the end.

You're not wrong
>>315558445
I know you can do that.
>>315558448
Guess you're right. Idea just didn't work. I'll probably have to delete it since my other levels are not nearly as bad.
>>315559220
Eh, but I'm making a "campaign" of sorts, see the first level:
>80FA-0000-00D8-5379
Shouldn't I want a new, original idea?
>>315559476
Just make it a series of rooms similar to levels of the games. Make the player get to the top of the room to go on to the next one.
If you switch up some conveyor belts in there as well as different enemies, it would be a lot more enjoyable and fun.
>>315559853
Don't forget to have a signature, if you're making a campaign.
>>315559958
Thanks but constantly entering pipes is not my idea of fun and neither are conveyor belts most of the time. My original idea just didn't work and I've made enough good levels that I don't care for this failure in particular.
Feel free to download the level and edit it to your liking if you think you can make it fun, I'd be interested in playing that.

Since we have checkpoint, I decided to overhaul one of my old levels.
The lower casual path is easier, and Bowser is harder, but he has his own checkpoint.
>>315560075
W-what?
What kind of signature? You mean, a title?
>>315560726
A signature, something a bit fun that reminds people they're playing your levels.
Might be something hidden, might be that you never use a certain ennemy as an ennemy, but only as an ally.
You know, a signature.
>>315560916
I mean, I do plan on having Wigglers make a cameo in every level, I guess.
The signature advice is good, but I need some "1-2" advice, man. I want my levels to be very refined, and my 1-1 is a good start, at least, people told me so.
>>315560075
>>315560916
>level signature
Why do I need to remind people they're playing one of my levels?
>>315561332
Yep, the wigglers exactly fit what i'm talking about.
Guess you already have a thing.
About the 1-2, just do another level at around the same difficulty in another setting.
>>315561549
If you're making a campaign, which is a series of level, it's pretty charming to have a little something that reminds them there's some kind of continuity going on.
>>315531850
Still waiting on locks and enemies that drop items when killed. Every time I want to make a level it seems something it holding me back from seeing my vision through. At least checkpoints mean long levels are finally playable.
>>315561710
Alright then, thanks for the advice!
I'm going to need you guys to critic another one of my levels, to fit my "perfection" thing going on.
>1-2: Colorful Caves
>A967-0000-00BA-DF14
Here's some questions:
1. Is the level too hard?
2. Is the level a bit too "bland?" (Not very fun, not very creative)
3. How can I refine it to be a good "1-2" level?
Guys
Is there any way to delete a comment you left on a stage? There doesn't seem to be a way to delete it like you normally would looking at it in Miiverse.
>>315562501
Wait never mind, forgot there was a new way to delete posts now
>>315562065
It ain't too hard, finished it in one go, looked like a regular 1-2.
I like simple levels, I find there ain't enough.
It works for me.
Since we're giving advice, what do you think about mine?
It's this one.
>>315560645
>>315562789
Oh, I just played that one.
I went through the casual way, because I am a filthy casual. The enemy placements were a bit tough to deal with, and I felt some real tricky moments within it.
To a normal player, there's really no reason to take a harder path. A person on 100 Mario would just use the casual way, if they didn't get frustrated from the autoscrolling.
Autoscroll, in general, is pretty hard to deal with, in terms of design and gameplay. Thankfully, with the addition of checkpoints, it makes it a little less stressful on longer autoscrolling levels.
For anyone who couldn't quite make it through my course before, I've added two checkpoints to go along with the four pseudo-checkpoints. It should be more manageable now.
Deus Ex Magikoopa: Check & Point

It plays a bit like a Metroid game without bosses. Backtracking is kept to a minimum by using a central hub for regaining lost items.
The first half focuses on combat, while the second half transitions to some brisk puzzles. There are no giant chasms, no bouncy platforming, no trap rooms and no cheap deaths.
If anybody still wants to try the original version, here it is.
EFE3-0000-008A-5BDB
I've also started working on a sequel, but it might take me some time to finish it. I'll try to complete a couple smaller projects in the meantime.
>try to make an easy level to appeal to 100 Mario players
>no cheap shots
>straight forward platforming
>they skip it 75% of the time after one death
>make levels I actually enjoy playing myself
>10% completion rate but high star percentage
That's the last time I cater to retards.
just finished this one.
the central gimmick is moving vine blocks. I tried to keep the spirit of design true to traditional mario style, so naturally skilled players can occasionally circumvent the vine altogether.

SLOPES WHEN?
Are they really that hard to implement?
>>315564057
>you can angle midpoints diagonally
I have a feeling nintendo is planning to implement them soon
>>315564249
You can angle checkpoints just like the arrow item it comes from. I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet.
>>315564249
>>315564430
It's for putting on corners.
>>315564057
I really wish slopes were in the game. While you can design levels to avoid it, the whole no slopes makes levels very semi-automatic. Butt sliding was a really fun and in almost every Mario game, so I don't understand why it isn't in Mario Maker. The slopes from Super Mario World also added a different type of platforming as well because you slowly slid down them.
>>315555148
Thanks for the feedback.
The 3 thwomps are supposed to be there to introduce a mechanic after the player already encountered a few thwomps that probably didn't hurt them. They're meant to be a bit of a puzzle that you have to trigger right to get through. Since the player was unlikely to be hurt before hand, failure wouldn't be TOO punishing on them and there's a costume refill right after.
The alternate path at the start is only going to be a thing for that level. It's supposed to be the "secret" path that's in every megaman that hides a hidden power. I figured having it right at the start would encourage multiple tries at it since it was likely to cause a few deaths. I tried to make it noticeable that the normal path existed for players who might hesitate the initial jump or when they actually do make it, but the camera in mario maker is a bitch and a half.
Speaking of the limitations of the editor, it doesn't leave much room for the kind of length most megaman stages have. Which means more enemy/obstacle density or just less over all. This stage I went with density, but other stages are much more open. The density also causes issues with the ability to put on a decent curve. Still I could always improve, and with new tools being added it opens new doors. That's why I'm revamping everything afterwards.
I think probably the most megaman feeling stage I've made is lakitu man if you want to check that one out.

Ok so shit, it's nice to see that the update brought life back in these threads.
Since I'm too lazy to skim through all these levels, here's the deal.

Just letting you all know I star almost every level from here because your levels are an oasis in an endless sea of shit.

It's okay, we're getting them.
That's why the SMW checkpoint is a flag, so it can be turned diagonally and put on slopes.

You did a good job with that.

Run as far as you can from the right side and run along the blue platforms a little bit.
>>315566934
My levels all have good star/player ratios. I just can't get people to play them. None of them ever even break 100 players. Hell most don't break 50.

It's obvious they're meant to be purposely shit since both of the pigeon's levels are "fixed" versions of Mary's.

liberal application of the skip function
Don't mind me, just shillan. B&B&B is new, the other two are just levels that I haven't had that many people play. B&B&B is intentionally easier than most levels I make since I notice most people quit my levels instantly. In 5-6 But Underground, 95% of the deaths in the level are at the start and people just rushing forward and jumping into the parabeetles. There's not even a pit in that section. I just don't get it, dying to that and then ragequitting that fast.
Just gonna drop this shill here before I start playing levels.
>>315558218
