Ugh I have been getting so many great ideas for levels.
Next I'm gonna do "Release the Hounds' where you need to get keys by freeing chain chomps.
Then I'm gonna try my hand at a "Tiny Huge Island" type level where the structures and enemies are small on the main level and huge on the sub level.

This is me. Im gonna spend my lunch in my car on my switch lol
Sadly my 90+ min commute will involve my switch sitting in traffic with me, mocking me with its existence.
QuixoticNeutral, I think it's safe to say you nailed the sense of the POW being precious considering that I straight up opted to die twice trying everything but daring to throw it and try and catch it myself
I was less Indy and more Beni in the mummy.

Luigi just can't catch a break.
After finally dealing with the ghosts that haunted the last hotel he was staying in he's finally had enough.
Now it's time for a proper vacation. Chocolate Island sounds like the perfect spot to wind down, right?
Or so he thought.
Luigi immediately gets lost on his way and ends up discovering an ancient structure of worship deep within the frozen tundra of a foreign kingdom.
Can he make his way through the temple and defeat the legendary Frost Serpent?

I think this is my best level yet.
Please give it a try!
Short and sweet, loving the opening room with the serpent face, and fun puzzles all add up to a great level. Nice job.
Enjoyable traditional level. I like levels with multiple paths/ways to go.
Alright so I finally finished my second course.
Temple of the Monstrous Mushroom
F90-8MP-D2G
Super Mario Bros.' desert theme is just the coolest damn thing.
I liked this a lot. Got a little frustrated with the Spike Tops, but overall, a good level!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Hooefully more people can give it a shot.
Super Castlevania Bros
5WW-0MF-TMF
Much like Drac himself, this stage has been resurrected after I initially threw it aside, it's gonna be a bit messy, it may be a bit tough (in regards to enemies, platforming is about as standard as can be) as I try to cram as many vania tropes as possible into one single stage. Witness Mario foes reinvent themselves as off brand medusa heads, bone skulls, axe armors and even DEATH.
Battle against the platforming obstacles of block by block staircases and swinging pendulums that absolutely are not cranes holding a big gold coin.
Culminating in an obligatory showdown with Count Bowser, can you make it to watching the castle collapse from a safe mountain top nearby?
My heart was completely set on using the NSMBU final boss theme for the stage music, this has led to me much jarring stop n' starts when utilising other sound effects so let's just pretend it's like the annoying beep glitch from the first NTSC copies of NES Castlevania.
While NES aesthetics may have helped the illusion I just really like that vertical ghost house interior for NSMBU, revel in those windows.
Once again I don't have an eye catching stage shot because I'm a twitter-less technophobe, but here's an artists conception
Hey, play this one! You nailed the atmosphere and kept up the good word with reasonable enemies. It was fun and clever course, waiting for more.
Just wanna toss it out there that I played your level and it was amazing. I didn't complete it purely because right near the end I threw the pow by mistake. This level like the other user highlights really emphasizes how no check points for clear conditions and/or no way to increase the timer hurts a lot of designs. The level is entirely manageable but at a full 500s timer your pacing has to be super brisk.
Keep on making levels like this man. It really is underappreciated how good it is.
Anyone know of a good way to do a downward vine out of a block on a track? So that it's like a swinging rope basically. Best way I've found so far is this setup:
Where X is a ground tile, B is a bullet bill blaster firing buzzy beetles and +n+ is a note block on a track. Note the +n+ has spikes behind it so the beetles don't fall down. They walk over the block and send the note block's vine down, but seems cumbersome.
Also I guess the weekly maker points badge resets each week? I had gold yesterday and now I don't have one. And my all time one dropped to silver :/
Code:
XXXX
XX B

Thanks! I was originally going for something completely different but then started playing around trying to come up with a cool dungeon entrance like some of the dark world ones in ALttP which was completely unrelated to my original level idea. Went with the dungeon idea instea and liked how it turned out.
Will give the initial ghost house idea another shit some other time.
That took me many more tries than I would've liked to admit but it was really really good.
Nice challenge. The timing of the platforms throws it off just enough to add some difficulty but not enough to frustrate you.
Alright, got the first clear. It was good, but in the second part there was a lot of blind jumps I'm not a fan of. However there was several clever mechanics involved.
I was playing this during my lunch break.
Currently at the checkpoint and I'll continue when I get home.
You guys are pumping out levels so quick, lol. Might use the holiday weekend to catch up.

LEGEND OF THE LAVENDER LAIR
Y98-1B8-GWG
[Theme] [Puzzle-Solving]
Difficulty: 2/4 Stars
"An old story has lead Mario deep into the jungle in search of a sprawling purple fortress, dubbed "The Lavender Lair." Many an explorer has attempted to climb the Lavender Lair, but none succeeded. Mario, however, has a new tool that just might do the trick: the Builder Suit! What perplexing conundrums await our crate stacking hero? Will he be able to think... outside the box and make the perilous climb? Venture forth and test your meddle!"
This stage was constructed specifically for this contest and my design philosophy was to fully utilize the unique new features of the 3D-World style while keeping to a certain color palette and drive a narrative. I had a blast making this level, so I would really love to hear some feedback. I would love to test any level you guys make, and if you PM me one of your codes after sending me feedback I will try whatever you throw at me and give you my feedback! I used to be pretty active back in the old Original SMM OT GAF days, and I really loved making levels for everyone to enjoy. I'm hoping to do the same now, here, during a new ERA! :)
Is the code right? I can't find it...
Hey, thank you! Nice going on the level, let me know how you get on.
Next two sections are the Snake (windy spike bit you're at) and the Springs. Former is harder, latter just requires a steady hand.
It's crazy with the levels isn't it? I've been making my second level but keep checking and every time it seems like there's a hundred new ones. People are really clever with them too, some crazy cool stuff so far.
All right, my third Super Mario Maker 2 level coming right up. This one is the first I've made that I actually had a lot of fun just playing as I made it. One of my most enjoyable levels for Super Mario World fans, I believe.
An Athletic Bridge too Far
YFB-BCJ-1QG
This level is a classic-style athletic bridge level themed after that same style of level in Super Mario World. In fact, this stage should feel as if it was lifted straight out of that game. Enjoy, and please let me know what you think. :)

How did you even get there...I thought I blocked that off successfully haha
Level 3-3 Over Sunburnt Skies is ready for your consumption and feedback. Lots of optional areas in this one, so go wild exploring!
Felt exactly like a level made by Nintendo, and yes I found all the secrets!
Kerash, I played yours as well and it inspired me to do an ice stage. I liked that the puzzles weren't too difficult and you kept a variety. Turning a lava castle into an ice castle is genius. Entrance was a really neat touch.
Gave it a try. Good, solid Mario fun. Not challenging at all, but that kind of level is so rare that I'll take it! Too many difficult stages out there, but sometimes I miss the feeling of an early Mario level, and you provided. Thanks! :)
Hello everyone, here's my third thematic level ^^ (I'm the one who made The Lost Goomba's Temple, and The Monty Mole's Evil Church, for those who have played them)
It's another short and easy thematic level.
This time, Mario has been invited to eat at the mysterious Apook Village, beyond the mountains... But something seems off here...
KM4-VV6-8LF
"Come eat at Apook Village !"
If you're interested in trying my level, I hope you'll like it !

Beat the single room puzzle. These happen to be my favorite because they teach you sooooooo much about the game that you take for granted. Thank you for this level!!
I hope you don't mind...shared your level in an ongoing One Screen Puzzle thread going on Reddit.
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE SINGLE ROOM PUZZLES? Please tag me!!

Thanks! To be honest I found the timing of the platforms to be the hardest thing - in the sense that I had difficulty figuring out how to do timing right. Glad it came off as challenging but not frustrating!
Bowser's tank being a hover tank came about in what can only be a Nintendo-like way. It was purely a gameplay conceit.
"If I'm escalating bosses for each tank, then the final one needs to be Bowser. But since I'm sticking with the Super Leaf as the main power-up, he'll be invincible unless he falls off the bottom. I do have poison down there, but the tank would be driving on a bridge, so he can't fall out. ...but what if it was flying? Then he could fall out the bottom into the poison!"
And then the track elements were deleted, the entire thing moved up a few tiles, and burners were added in place of the tracks.
I also learned something useful for later. If you attach a sound effect to a pipe, it will trigger just before something comes out of it. So when I'm using Giant Winged Lava Bubbles as ammo, you get a flash an instant before it's fired. Just like the attack warnings in Platinum games. I'll be doing that again.
Potentially dumb question: How do I use the ON/OFF switch to reverse conveyor belts in the 3D World style?
Has anyone else had the game crash on them? I just had 3 crashes in the last 15 minutes trying to play a level.
Thanks, when I make levels thats kind of what I aim for. I want something that feels like a proper mario level :>
Not sure if already known but you can press start and change your default character. At least I think that's how it works.
Oof, due to a game breaking bug (way nastier than the soft lock in the Lakitu because its later), I had to delete and reupload my Yoshi story level. Thankfully, less than 100 people played it!
For those that don't know: The level is called The Yoshis: A Tale of Alliances, and it focuses on some light puzzle solving with a Yoshi couple as you inflitrate Bowser's final castle, and it has some plot twists as you'd expect! It has two endings, a bad ending that will get you a shorter time but... make you feel bad, and a good ending that attempts to be bittersweet! Note that theres a slight skill check involved with the good ending, since its the only part of the level that requires a running jump!
I also rebalanced a boss fight people found annoying. It may actually take longer now, but there arent as many periods where you can't hit the mofo now lol.
The code for the level is TFH-LVS-NJF

When I saw we could now have vertical levels I had an idea based on something someone did in Mario Maker 1. While this could be better, I am rather happy with how it turned out. I don't want to spoil much, but let's say I used the horizontal and vertical level for something "different". xD

Giving up hope of ever getting that first clear in order to see it in the rotation lol.

Tried to make another level. Not exactly the most creative stage ever made, was mostly trying to test the sublevel system (apparently you can't make one-way pipes?). Tried to make two routes, but feels a bit unbalanced, one of the routes is way faster and easier. Oh well.

Im gonna want to try your goomba temple when I get home! I have a feeling you may have a vaguely similar theme with a level im in the middle of creating lol
(Hint: its goombas!)
Oh, someone else making use of the pow and claw, cool. Got a lot of use out of it in my newest level.
For the record, this is legit my favorite level I played thus far! I think this level is challenging, but actually pretty reasonable once you get ahold of the mechanics. The theming is top notch too, love the Indiana Jones style!
I actually love making stages like this too, but I'm planning on waiting a few months just for everyone to get used to Super Mario Maker 2 mechanics before I make more demanding levels.
No, nothing yet. And I've played enough to complete Story Mode and play dozens of people's levels.
Your level presentation is fantastic, and I dug the design. The only issue I had was when I collected all five red coins and then died in the room after. It was a little annoying having to collect the coins all over again for the key, but overall, I liked the level!
Place and hold a conveyor belt, and a little window will pop up. The third option will allow it to be controlled with the On/Off Switch.
Anyway, I finally got into making a level. It's easy to identify a poorly made level, but it's so, so much harder to make a decent level. I kept mine on the simple side. It isn't very creative or challenging, but it's my very first level so I hope somebody enjoys it. It's an airship level that focuses on Bullet Bills. I didn't go too crazy because I wanted it to be a level that wouldn't look out of place in an official Mario game.

I was going to make a submission for the contest, but after experiencing how difficult it is to make a quality level, I think I'll just hold off for now, haha.

Both of these levels are super fun!
