Here's the next world of my Super Mario Voyage project! The first two worlds are presented in the original post . Vine World I just finished 3-2 yesterday, so all of that is new content. It's possible to get Yoshi to the end of the level, so show off your skills if you can!  SMV 3-1: Perilous Pipeline  SMV 3-2: Carnivorous Caverns  SMV 3-3: Ghastly Greenhouse  SMV 3-4: Shroombloom Stronghold Gear up for the next one coming out later this week - Mechanized World.

I played a stage yesterday where a Mystery Mushroom turned me into Sonic the Hedgehog. I think the update must have gone back and fixed his sprite because now he really looks like the Genesis Version. His body takes up two sprite tiles now so that's really cool. Am I the first person to notice this?

Hey, thanks to you, goons, and to a lesser extent the general populace I've reached another badge and uploaded more levels. Also, I redid one on the spot because I wasn't willing to give up on it. Firepower Ferry  I liked this one so much I skipped it ahead of a bunch of others in the queue. I guess I don't want to spoil any surprises (and I want to know what goons can find on their own). Terror Core  This is probably my favorite though. Maybe because I like the Mario 3 Ghost House so much? People are already terrible at this one, hurry before it's doomed to Expert Mode forever. Kinda-Haunted Cave  About as straightforward a NSMB level as it gets, but I hope you like it? Galoomba Gulch  This is the one I redid, rushed it out the first time because I didn't have any auto-scrollers on my profile. Hope it's a better stage now. 121RedBlackGo  Made a super-fast scroller, so I'm pretty sure people are going to be awful at this. Kinda worried about that Bowser placement at the end though, tell me if he's too much trouble. Hell-O!  I know one of you hates Fire Piranhas, so..... sorry in advance? El Jefe Speaks  The official/unofficial sequel to A Level Named Marcus. This one is pretty much doomed to Expert Mode, play it before it disappears entirely.  There are even more on  my profile, so don't forget to check. I'm just afraid this post is already too big. Check 'em out. Maybe I'll post them later or something.

Someone please beat this, it's a darn 30 second level for goodness sake I beat this but wish I hadn't. Its only 30 seconds but involves so much trial and error death I'm not surprised people skip it. If you don't want people to view your level as a brick wall you have to give them some kind of break. Just having some coins indicate where you need to jump to progress would make this level less painful.

This level wasn't bad, but I feel like I missed the point somehow. There wasn't much challenge or thinking required when you could just hop in cloud after cloud to get to the end. Pretty punishing overall. I like athletic levels generally, but as Kraken mentioned, it's tons of trial and error, and hardly any of the errors let you live afterwards. I liked the ideas though, and I may need to steal bomb platforms as an idea some day. I'll play some more and leave comments under Dustin!! later tonight. Keep that content coming, fellas!

DarkLich posted:This level wasn't bad, but I feel like I missed the point somehow. There wasn't much challenge or thinking required when you could just hop in cloud after cloud to get to the end. Well, on one level it was intended to be an easy multi-path level. (Because you're inundated with powerups.) But on another I want ed to find an engaging way to present the cloud as a power. So, I think the level, while technically solid, failed in two ways. 1.) Use of the cloud sort of eliminates the incentives in the level to switch between paths. 2.) Flying the cloud just isn't that engaging, or more accurately I was incapable of finding a way to make it engaging without forcing you to use the cloud. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Does the cloud just suck?

DalaranJ posted:Well, on one level it was intended to be an easy multi-path level. (Because you're inundated with powerups.) I wasn't really sure how the level was supposed to work either without the cloud just trivializing everything. I don't really think designing a challenging level around the cloud can work well honestly. The cloud giving you free movement means you have to design hazards that can hit the player from multiple angles. Now that alone is hard enough, but functionally isn't any different from how a water level works where you have unobstructed movement. The problem is then that the clouds short duration means making any kind of difficult obstacle doesn't work. Its too easy for the player to get timed out inside the cloud. and if you're designing the level to be beatable by both cloud and foot, its hard to not have a bunch of obstacles the cloud just bypasses. I once tried to make a level that used the cloud like this but couldn't make it work either.

Thanks for playing, I thought the way to go was pretty clear, but I should have added coins. I'll probably make an easier level with the same theme later.

I've been trying to suss out how the website decides the difficulty of levels and it's so weird. Comparing two of my levels, https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/FAE9-0000-011D-09D3 The first one which is as Easy and has a completion rate of 39.06% with 25 clears out of 64 attempts. It also has had 32 different players with those 25 clears so 78% of the people who tried it beat it. https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/21CE-0000-0127-6B13 The second level is classified as Normal has a completion rate of 44.59% with 33 clears out of 74 attempts. It had 34 different players for those 33 clears which means 97% of the people who tried it beat it. Why the second level is classified as harder even though there was only one person who didn't beat it? Do you think it's possible that there is also an invisible skill level assigned to players? Anyways it's very strange.

Maybe it takes the levels' content into account? Your second level there DOES have three Bowsers.

Speaking of Bowser being stupid hard and random, I improved an old level by removing Bowser (but leaving the much more manageable Junior) and improving some of the flow. Bowser Jr's Squishy Citadel C158-0000-014D-5A73 https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/C158-0000-014D-5A73   And I made a short-and-easy, as long as you have a good ground pound game: Ground Pound Grotto D84F-0000-014B-872F https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/D84F-0000-014B-872F

I got this for Christmas, and it's the game I've always wanted. I've got a few levels up as I've been unlocking stuff. Any comments or suggestions on how to improve them? Cautious Cavern DBB3-0000-0140-9E7F   My first level. Might As Well Jump 6D17-0000-0141-6C6D   Some tricky jumps. Castle Thwomp 4718-0000-0148-F7B3   Not terribly long. Had a gimmicky idea for Thwomps blocking access and built around it. Jerk Fortress 0B81-0000-0152-80B7   A kinda dickish level with another Thwomp-based gimmick and P switches.

It's okay for an obstacle to be hard if the player has adequate time to react to it or figure out how to bypass it. Spend time play testing your levels and don't just zip through them because you know the solution. Try to approach them with different play styles in mind and think about what someone seeing them for the first time might experience. If the player messes up but doesn't die ensure there is a way for them to try again. Make sure every section feels good to play as either big or small Mario.

Eh part of the problem is checkpoints are a day 7 unlock, I'm in the same boat as him, I want to add checkpoints to a lot of my levels, just to give a helping hand to those who need the help, but I'm stuck until they become available to me, which should be tomorrow. As long as I'm here, let's show off some levels. Abnormal Abbey  I really like the SMB 3 Ghosthouse tileset and music, so I wanted to make something that fit it. Leviathan  I think levels should show you something new or cool, but also I wanted to play around with alternate pathways. I like what I've made but it's probably unfocused and sloppy to play. Shifty Shafts  I try to avoid trial and error deaths, but there's probably a few here, that being said it's a super straightforward level made early on when I didn't have many tools.

Got my first level uploaded. Just trying for a traditional feel, and is probably pretty simple by Mario Maker standards, but I'd like some feedback. Simple SMW F1AF-0000-0158-3CAF   Also, after being able to sit down for an extended time last night to make this, I'm actually kinda disappointed with Mario Maker. So many things I wanted to do but just can't. Simple stuff like make enemies move in different directions or adjusting the speed of a platform on a track (yes there's the 2 skull platforms, but I wanted the normal flat platform). Manual placement of background decorations (and more variety of them) would be nice too.

Manual placement of background decorations (and more variety of them) would be nice too. It's not much but the normal flat platform has two speeds. You can put wings on it to make it faster. And semisolid platforms (shake for all 3 kinds) give you some more variety than the random pop-up elements (which also can be copied when you see one you like). The best way to learn new possibilities is to play other people's levels. CrimsonAuthor fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Dec 30, 2015 |

Maybe I should pack it with more stuff?

Here's the next section of my Super Mario Voyage project! Here are links to the first two worlds, and the third world. Both Bob-Omb Bay and Firebar Foundry are brand new below. Bob-Omb Bay has a lot of unlockables, so to speak. Good luck with the bomb tricks to access everything. Firebar Foundry will likely be an expert level, but it’s not too bad if you take it slow and pay attention. It was my attempt at making a challenging level from hazards alone. Mech World  SMV 4-1: Gearsaw Gorge  SMV 4-2: Bob-Omb Bay  SMV 4-3: Harrowing Hullblast  SMV 4-4: Firebar Foundry I appreciate all the comments people have left, and I'll continue to help provide feedback on those in the thread. Coming up after the new year, we delve into the Ancient World.
