The vast majority of people regardless of difficulty level have no idea what makes a level fun.

I think Mabel's bigday definitely caught on to this one fast. I want the visual/audio effects. They add such a cinematic panache to the play experience.

Levels just need to be challenging without being tedious requiring pixel-perfect jumps or just stuffing the levels full of too much crap.

Levels I saw in the last four levels: invisible block level full of traps you can't possibly know about, level that drops spineys from where you can't see them, level where if you touch one of two-dozen flying mushrooms you can't complete the level and have to restart.

It's real bad.

omg one of the built in levels is just a bunch of wigglers that launch fireworks when you stomp on them

like every level has so many enemies that you will always earn 3-up when beating a level and they all die at once

Any time you do the 100-Mario Challenge on Normal, the first 9 levels are always giant enemy piles, levels of nothing but stars and coins, or a big pile of the maximum placeable number of enemies.

Oh stuff unlocks faster if you play a lot.

Apparently it's a straight up count of the blocks you've placed so you can copy a big block over and over to do it fast

I just realized you can see where people are dying in your levels if you go to the level list, the little Xs appear on the long map of the level at the top.

I like a level that challenges me to the limits of my crappy ability, but when I'm trying to make such a thing I need to remember to telegraph the concept and give the player a chance to practice. This is harder without checkpoints.

Rule of threes works well. Introduce, practice, master.

I tried to do that in my spin jump level but who knows if it worked out for the players.

Yeah. More important than knowing the guideline is remembering you need to follow it instead of just doing whatever. Death From Above! is still a bit Mario Makery, but I tried to apply principles of sound level design: 7F49-0000-0024-BB39

Edit: the code was wrong.

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



Instead of playing this I am at a wedding.

The groom wore sunglasses and a trilby for the ceremony.

His self written vows were about how much of a gently caress up he was, name dropping all his family in attendance, and ended with a doctor who reference.

The recessional was the imperial march.

Daydreaming about making my sweet wall jump climbing level with lakitus and flamethrowers.

Seeing how many people play your level versus your clear rate, I wonder if most of these people just skip a level when they die once

The game is amazing, I get happy every time I log in and I see people having played my levels, also the art book is fantastic and I played for like six hours on launch day.

It was one of the best 9/11s I've had in forever.

This level was cool and hard.

I almost gave up on it but I got through to the end which was really cool, nicely done!


I made an easy ghost house level called Spooky House, 3684-0000-0020-9F8B

People seem to like it so maybe you guys will to.
