Love your levels, this was the best one. Atmosphere is 10/10. You managed to improve a lot, keep working for us lol.
The Tribe of Ozomahtli
743-QWR-KVG
Acting as a spiritual sequel of sorts to my pretty successful adventure, The Kingdom of Abanoub, this level takes you to an ancient tribe that once worshipped this generous god. The divinity turned rogue however, and his shrine, his statue is now the symbol of his evil intentions. You stopped Abanoub's curse, I'm sure you're up to get inside Ozomahtli's statue, get the gems from his arms and legs, then enter his head and try to take down the entire structure, hopefully without causing too much destruction around it. So, fellow adventurer. Do you feel up for the task?
The level is a fairly long one with multiple areas inside the statue, all with different themes and challenges. It has a little visual narrative going on, with a couple tricks that I enjoyed creating for your enjoyment. It's fairly simple in terms of difficulty, though there's a few tricky parts where I have a decent amount of mushrooms aiding your ride (I think there's around like 10 all around the stage, neither of them hidden). It's an adventure, one I've put a lot of time into (can't say exactly but it's probably 5-6 hours overall) and that I'd love to hear your impressions.
Thanks for playing, both.
I actually prototyped a few of the rooms in SMM1, then had to throw out most of that work and nerf it all to the ground because when I finally got my hands on SMM2, it was clear that I underestimated just how tricky maneuvering in the desert wind can be. It's like swapping conveyor belts, globally, once every few seconds. Before I uploaded, I spent hours today just reducing difficulty.
But then I realized that no matter how much I reduced the damage sources and provided mushrooms all over the place, it's inherent in the theme and structure that accidentally chucking the POW very late in the stage is going to be the thing that kills most runs, and there just isn't much I can do to make it easier while retaining the integrity of the "companion cube" idea. There is a very clear midpoint in this stage where a checkpoint should be, but past that, even with checkpoints or reset doors, there is so much one-time stage manipulation that letting the player backtrack would break everything. I wish there were a way to make losing the only POW explicitly display a failure message (like failing the "don't jump" condition) so the player doesn't have to wonder.
I knew going in that endurance over a long, long stage with no checkpoints is going to be what kills the clear rate, not the difficulty of specific segments, which I tuned to be easier than most of my Expert-rated stages in SMM1. (That, and everybody's new to both desert wind and the claw; I probably have more experience with those two than most of the world at this point, since I got so much practice in the course of building this level.) So I took a leaf out of the long no-checkpoint stages in DKCTF (or for that matter 3DW—hence the choice of music) and at least tried to make sure that the early segments of the stage, especially the first half, can be sped through very quickly with a bit of practice. But I agree that it's going to wind up in Super Expert because of the length alone. I think there should be a place for clear-condition courses that are huge, full-sized experiences, though, and I hope that even people who dropped it halfway after a few attempts are getting some fun out of it anyway.

First clear is still up for grabs, by the way. For those skimming the thread, we're talking about WL5-40G-JRF.
Anyone with good classic Mario levels? IOW, ones with some length to them and that may feature more than one "gimmick" per level and are good tests of platforming and "endurance" with a dash of creativity rather than being laser focused on one concept like Mario Maker creations tend to be?
Just played it. Neat level, but I'd tone down the hidden blocks unless you're looking for frustration.
Thank you buddy! I love building stuff, always been very serious about creative games like TrackMania, Minecraft, etc., and since I kinda missed out on Maker 1 (bummer) I was only naturally gonna do a lot here. I know I can still improve in some areas, but I am already rather satisfied with this level. I wasn't sure I was gonna pull off the arms and legs well enough or make the destruction feel real enough but I'm glad I somehow did.
Successfully finished my second level here. It's much more ambitious than the first, though I don't know how well I translated my intention into the design itself. Meant to be a bit of a brainscratcher, but I feel like someone could figure it all out easily enough.

Mario needs your help. It's cold and there are ghosts after him.

Thanks for the feedback. I spent more time than I'd care to admit making sure the 'dangerous' timed sections felt urgent but (hopefully) not too harsh. The level was intended for the average player to be able to complete it. No need to make the areas too hard when it isn't specifically Kaizo. Those levels might come later, lol.
That makes sense. Your own levels are always going to be easier for you than other people. Even as you tweak it and rearrange some things, you're still practicing your own level as you're making it.
I had a few good connections in versus multiplayer, so I guess it just comes down to matching 3 people with a good wired connection which is rare. lol
I don't think this has regional matchmaking, either. I was playing a few Japanese people before which of course would really lag the matches.

Appreciate the effort folks! Still searching for that first clear, but is looking likely to get that Super Expert rating based on the current tries and struggles.

Heres a short level I put together, its not that great but may as well see if anyone would like it.
R66-P1k-F1G
Also is it just me or is the slightly bigger UI messing with anyone in maker mode? Right when I tried it out something just felt wrong, so I turned on mario maker 1 and noticed the UI in 2 covers a little bit more of the screen and it slightly zoomed in more.

Made my first level. It become longer than what I had on my mind. A big forest section with small room-puzzles you need to solve to advance, and an also puzzle boss you reach after that.
SMW style to fit the Forest of Illusion levels of the original.

Hey Era. Been really enjoying everyone's levels in the thread. Put together my first one this morning and just uploaded it. Still experimenting but was going for a Super Hexagon kind of vibe. Would appreciate any feedback. Enjoy!

Made my first two levels. The first is my attempt to translate the Moon dungeon from the original Legend of Zelda to a Mario level, and the second is just my first shot at a straightforward Mario level. Hope you enjoy!

Also, are notifications weird for everyone? I have like 25 plays on one of my levels but I keep getting notifications that "2 people have now played your level". Is that just supposed to mean 2 MORE people played it?

Try my first level! PFB-CLM-7GF
3D world Style vertical climb. Not too long or difficult.
"Treacherous Tree Climb: A treacherous climb filled with bees, trees, bullets & bullies"
Let me know what you think, all feedback welcome!

You are everywhere! Your levels are awesome. Got stuck while learning about the horrors of industrialization. Which seems fitting.
Nope, it's the game. I've played a lot of online VS and although it's mostly good, when there is lag it is unbearable! And I have decent 200 meg internet, though with the shitty Switch WiFi it only got 14 mbps when I tested today.
Thank you all for taking the time to try my level and give feedback. I took the suggestion and added a door in case you need to go back to get missed coins. I should have thought of that!
Modified version M0S-CKN-7TF
Check out my first level! It is not too hard, but I think its pretty fun, and I'm proud of the detail that went into it!

How do you use empty / non-mob items when creating a level? I've come across a few levels that do this but can't figure out how to do so. For example, placing an empty shoe instead of the goomba shoe, or placing a normal shell instead of an actual Koopa.

Hey, uploaded my very first course! It's themed after Icy Tower, if anyone remembers that game.

I am amazed by the huge amount of great levels posted here. :D
Maybe my levels are not as good... but I would like to share them nonetheless:
Enter the Dry Bones Crypt (SMB3 style):
FP8-RSL-KTG
King Koopa's Mystery Tower (3d World Style):
1T9-31H-PLG
For the second one I have to apologize in advance for the poor mid boss fight. I should have made Pom Pom her regular size, I feel. But other than that I liked what I have come up with.
Both are more or less standard Mario levels with some theme. The Dry Bones Crypt has a more puzzle and secret focussed approach though. XD

That sounds like my old Mario Maker 1 stages. You might like a few of the stages I uploaded. I'm working on another tonight that might fit your request better.
And yeah, multiplayer versus is a blast, even with the lag.
The best moments so far are the two times when all 4 of us are stumped in a level that doesn't work with 4 players in mind (botched autoplay) or is just really crappy in design. The competition turns into co-operation and people try to bounce one another up and get atleast one person towards the end so we don't just end in a time over, lol.

My 2nd level. I made it easier than the previous, but it may still have a few tricky parts.
Welcome to Pipe Zone - M0G-GP2-DYG
And my previous level, which I'm happy to see people have enjoyed
Sub Zero Ice Munch - M0G-GP2-DYG
Also, yes, it's a Digimon dub reference name lol

Beat it on the flight. Really liked it, got stuck going for the third red coin because I couldn't consistently nail the jump through without taking damage. I started experimenting with bringing one of the springs from the 2nd red coin forward to go over the spike blocks and grab a shell on the other side to get it.
Just finished it! I enjoyed it, but the section with the ice blocks and the stars was a bit difficult because the autoscroll couldn't keep up with the speed I needed to be moving.
My latest course is named Windy Claw. Any guesses what it's about?
K7B-XQ5-J1G
My levels so far have been in the 20-40% clear rate range, but judging from the difficulty I had in clearing it myself, this one might be a bit lower. Always interested in hearing feedback!

Made a new level. This time a spooky sun ghost house. Mario has broken into the Sun's home to steal his coins. Will he prevail!?

Just Beat it... but I think I may have done it out of order.
Enjoyed the setting, the mix of wind and claws made for a great level that provided enough challenge without being frustrating!
90 numbered states, then I believe 19 or 20 non numbered stages
Appreciate the effort folks! Still searching for that first clear, but is looking likely to get that Super Expert rating based on the current tries and struggles.
Reposting for anyone up to the challenge lol
long time lurker.. made an account literally to whine about the time sunk into this. that shell jump is tricky, I literally made a practice chamber to work on it. ive gotten it a few times now in the stage, what am I supposed to do after spin jumping up the spike tops, if I have to do some kinda crazy spring tech under those spikes im gonna cry
Those hanging Chain Chomps got me once because I made a bit of a blind high jump, but other than that, fun level!
I can't get past the snake block section. any advice?
Thanks! Im surprised how much I enjoy making. I think I only made like 3 levels total in MM1
