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

Still no slopes, but this stuff is pretty cool:

DONUT BUMPERS!!!

And the P switch doors will be fun to play with. I can only imagine what LW is going to do with those.

(Not the update I was expecting, but I was expecting an update.)

Still, thanks for the information, @Sonichuman. I havenā€™t kept up with game news in a decade.

ā€¦I posted that newsā€¦

p switch doors are cool and needed. bumpers i can mess with in water levels and a few of the levels in the sky world i want to work on.

not feeling the fire clown car at all period. give us mecha koopas instead.

new castle level iā€™m working on:

it occurred to me that the coolest part about mario levels are that you can explore them but also you can speed through themā€¦so from now all i will try to incorporate the speed through aspect into my levels. i had just finished playing yoshis wooly world when i started making levels in smm so most of my levels were slower paced because i was still thinking about how much i enjoyed exploring and all of that from yww.

iā€™m going to also try for more platforming and creativity. iā€™m going to playthrough smw and smb3 tonight and this weekend to get a better aspect for level design.

(Yeah, Iā€™m not feeling the fire clown either.)

That said, at least theyā€™re getting it out of the way in a minor update instead of having it take up space in a major update or something that you need to pay for.

ā€¦I could have been worded that better, even though Iā€™m used to people understanding that my parenthetical statements are effectively separate from the rest of my post when that understanding probably isnā€™t the case (despite saying it over and over again).

Anyway, I was thanking Sonichuman for telling me about the Direct thing last night. That said, thank you for the post about the actual upcoming update, @LordWilliam1234.

Donut Bumpers and Fire Clowncar are awesome. Donut Bumpers seem to function similarly to Buzzsaws if you bounce off of them wearing a boot or riding Yoshi. The fact that they bounce you if you make contact at any angle really opens up new possibilities.

I wish theyā€™d add a variation of the fireflower that fires straight ahead of Mario. Hell, they could even make it the cannon box that fits over Marioā€™s head from Super Mario 3D World.

Also, finally earned 3-medals!

My new shit, a stage I am actually proud of! Iā€™d really love some feedback for this stage guys.

Played your course, Intuitive. Fell for practically everything the first time. Was satisfying to finally clear it, though. I didnā€™t understand the function of the 2nd P-switch, btw. The one after the pipes segment and the thwomps on music blocks. Did I miss a secret?

Thanks for playing it, dude. Nah, there wasnā€™t any other secrets that you missed. There was one right at the start with the thwomp if you got that. Is there any stage of yours youā€™d like me to play?

Oh guys, Iā€™m gonna be recording on Monday, if youā€™d like to suggest some stages for me to try and clear, Iā€™ll happily comply. Hell, I might even include my own stages. :slight_smile:

Iā€™d be interested to watch you play my EVO-Trooper stage. 9D51-0000-00F3-C803
or These Boots. 4566-0000-00D8-06EA

If youā€™d rather play something more straight forward and challenging instead, try out Mortal Incentive - 322D-0000-0092-DC99

Would definitely be interested in more people from the SRK thread making Mario Maker vids.

Damn, thatā€™s next on my to-beat list. Hilarious video though, when you fell down the hole from the pipe the first time I loled.

Youā€™re gonna be first up on the list. If I can get away from SFV it definitely could happen today. :slight_smile:

If youā€™re making a video, Iā€™ve got a couple aā€™ stages that need some lovinā€™!

For puzzly underwater stuff:
The Waters are Abuzz With Rumors - 1000-0000-00E8-25A4

For the stage Iā€™m the most proud of so far:
Wicked Wigglerā€™s Wonky Wachinery - 3990-0000-00B9-4012

we need those things that can crush mario in castles. the spiked ones and the non spiked onesā€¦ iā€™m just running out of ideas with the limitations in the smw theme. i feel like unless youre doing a bunch of smb and to a lesser extent, smb3 levels, the ceiling is really low.

i learned something new today. if you put wings on a magikoopa you have to hit it twice for it to die. after hitting it once itā€™ll disappear and then reappear in a second without wings. i donā€™t know how to apply it to a boss fight just yet but yeahā€¦thought iā€™d share that in case nobody knew about it.

also i keep forgetting about ghosts being attached to floors becomming ā€œstretches.ā€ i may use that later.

i downloaded and 100%ed smw and smb3 from the estore just to get an idea for creativity with level making. most of the shit i played through i canā€™t do (as far as smw) because of the limitationsā€¦but i have to talk about flying again.

my theory is that because of smb3, flying is off in smw in smm. i can fly all day in both og games with the gamepad on the wii u but as soon as i switch to smm i canā€™t fly for shit in either. its not the controller and its not me. i wish there was an option to map buttons as well so i could get the spin jump back to the OG location. its just so frustrating that nintendo would release a barebones game like this and focus on useless costumes i donā€™t care about.

like how hard could it be to give us the tanooki suit, hammer bros suit, the leaf, fireflower, feather, starman, whatever powerups from new super mario bros u, the option to play as luigi and call it a day? i really couldnā€™t care less about the random anime or whatever customes from random shit only released in japan to an obscure audience. i donā€™t care about being a mercedes benz or bmw or whatever. i donā€™t care about the fly swatting shit. i donā€™t like the random flies that pop up either during editing a level. i donā€™t understand why we donā€™t have slopes yet or more enemies. we get costume updates weekly, almost daily even. whats going on? shit iā€™ll pay for it at this point. this game costs 60 dollars and its very barebones.

Hammer Bros suit is OP as hellā€¦I donā€™t know if I want access to have that in any of my stages lol.

For now Iā€™ll be satisfied with more backgrounds, a color edit tool for said backgrounds, pipes and floor/ceiling tiles and more enemies. Any of those would do.

This last update is extremely bare bones. Itā€™s like Iā€™m starving and somebody is tearing pieces of a slice of bread off and handing it to me piece by piece every couple of days.

Come on Nintendo. I mean when is the next update.
