The Super Mario Maker thread - March 9th Update: Keys Finally Found

More expert mode to come today. :slight_smile:

I plan to get around to playing you guys newer levels eventually.

Enjoy the Grumps playing some well designed levels from a video game developer, of a well known franchise you may have heard of.

Weā€™re getting checkpoints and the upgrade mushroom (mushroom if youā€™re normal, Fire Flower if youā€™re Super)

Among a few other things.

Now all we need are slopes.

Great news. The first of many updates to come, Iā€™m sure.

Funny thing expert mode. I think Iā€™m actually starting to enjoy itā€¦

Fuck and yes!

Hey, good going, Nintendo. Theyā€™re giving us almost every single thing everyoneā€™s been clamoring for.

Itā€™s like they figured out the Internet or something!

Still want melting ice blocks, placeable water and lava, and desert theme with Pokeys and quicksand!

Some Ninjis would be cool, too.

(I was going to say that sounds greedy to ask, but then I remembered that utterly avaricious, 6-minute long video by GameExplain that was essentially ā€œI want and I want it allā€. So your short list is quite reasonable, especially by comparison. I doubt weā€™ll get Ninji, though, and theyā€™re probably saving Desert-related stuff for DLC, especially since Angry Sun got found in the data a while ago as something that got ā€œcutā€.)

As it is, given this update patch is thankfully free, it seems largely in response to the most pressing issue(s) that people brought: a lack of checkpoints. Thankfully, they decided to patch that in for free (and probably save actual DLC until around Christmas).

I do have to wonder, however, how many stages are going to be taken down and uploaded again with checkpoints, if thereā€™s going to be any way to tell which stages have checkpoints and which ones donā€™t since it doesnā€™t appear to be mandatory, and if someone will break the checkpoint precautions they thankfully at least tried to add in (since they know people are assholes). It also makes me wonder if you have to clear stages with checkpoints multiple times now too or if thereā€™s a way to prevent ā€œtrapā€ checkpoints that donā€™t necessarily instantly kill you but might as well. I guess weā€™ll see.

Also, despite not having the game, Iā€™m slightly disappointed that shaking the Muncher didnā€™t change it into a Nipper Plant though at least shaking it now will actually do something; I could have done with learning that the cartoon version of the Nipper Plant has a bit of an Uncanny Valley, possible nightmare face though. Then again, people love their mini-games, so I guess itā€™s not too surprising outside of the fact that it isnā€™t pachinko since thatā€™s apparently ā€œbig in Japanā€ now.

Either way, Iā€™ve added the update videoā€“thanks LordWilliam1234ā€“to the top of the front page and also added Intuitive2011ā€™s latest videos, though you misspelled ā€œProgressā€ as ā€œPorgressā€ in the title of both videos, @Intuitive2011. I also made links to the two stages of Theorymon that I posted recently.

Jungle hijinks

With checkpoints coming soon the truly good level designing begins.

Someone remade Mega Man 1 in Super Mario Maker.

As for the check points. ā€˜Bout frickinā€™ time. Now just give us slopes, Charging Chucks, Spike Pillars from SMW, Hammer/Frog Suit and a feeeeew more things and weā€™re good.

Iā€™d like the ability to upload level pack, like a world. They could make it so every extra level you add to the pack is 10 extra lives for the person playing it. Since lives would be part of the equation in that instance, there would actually be a reason to put one ups in the levels.

Pretty proud of this one!

These Boots Were Made For Flying
1E68-0000-00C8-9BA8

Tried to make a low-stress level that explores the mechanics of the Kuriboā€™s Shoes.
Threw in some light exploration & puzzle elements too.

In other news - I really wish the timer was optional.

Hereā€™s a fun little level I made called:

** World 1-4 Remicks**
593D-0000-00D0-887D

Itā€™s a take on SMB3 1-4. Nothing too crazy, but pretty fun.

I came up with one of those " Once you see it it cant be unseen aka damn you internet" thing

you have been warned

I really canā€™t wait for that update.

I updated my first level and called it ** Mushroom Kingdom Basics 2**. Iā€™ll get the code tomorrow -already logged off and going to bed. In the mean time, if youā€™re following me or if Iā€™ve played your levels you can find if youā€™d like to give it a try.

A bit late due to rendering taking longer than I expected. Good fun all around this time. :smiley:
