Super Mario Maker Discussion!

I'm still considering this game, but I don't know that I would be making levels often.

The friendship destroying potential already seems much higher than Mario Party and Mario Kart, though:


If you don't like cursing, maybe don't watch? There's not that much of it, but I just thought a heads up would be nice.



LOL that's hilarious... You don't always get a hole to work with, but when you do and make it through the level you feel pretty dang good about yourself, and rightfully so.... I laughed more than 10 times watching this XD...
 
So, I got around and played 16 times on Easy 100 Mario Challenge. That's 160+ courses I played, most of which are of course cringeworthy but thankfully as easy as breathing.

Among the level design mistakes that newcomers would often do, it has to be the way Lakitus are often placed. At first, they seemed to be pretty annoying but manageable to deal with. However, defeating them will leave their cloud unoccupied and Mario could ride on it. There are a lot of levels that have Lakitus in it are exploitable by this loophole, since they do nothing to combat that. I've seen one pretty frustrating level on my Easy 100 Mario Challenge, but it's ruined by how easily the Lakitu Cloud could be accessed and break the entire level.

Lol it's like Mario basically becomes invincible (almost) when he rides on a Lakitu cloud
 
its annoying to me that you can only unlock 20 costumes in easy mode. i tried unlocking some more in the medium difficulty, but i keep skipping through so many courses to find one that is actually playable and i can beat. it takes so much time and isnt that fun.
most cool and fun courses are in easy mode too. you should be able to choose yourself which difficulty you're comfortable with and not be forced to tackle the impossible.

its also really weird that you can edit that courses you downloaded and reupload them under your name. i already encountered a few where they just changed the theme of a popular one or added one tiny thing and uploaded it again.. that doesnt seem right.

lastly, its a bit annoying that they revived the rescue princess peach thing, even though they received endless amounts of criticism of it over the years. and to do it in such a repetitive annoying way... they couldve easily avoided that by saying 'a mistery mushroom was stolen' and at the end revealing which costume it was. which would make more sense too.

oh well

Erm you can not upload a stage you downloaded and edited, that is stated multiple times in many trailers... You have to make them from scratch...
 
well youre not supposed to anyway..
ive seen people do it tho.. i just meant that they didnt completely disable the upload function for downloaded maps is weird. (maybe it was the same person tho idk)

It is simply not possible so it might be the same person or people are taking the effort to replicate other levels.
 
ah, then its ok. it was just odd cause it was 1:1 the same, so i assumed it was possible. haven't tried obviously..
sry for ranting earlier, was getting frustrated with it for a moment -_-

People replicating the same levels is boring.... We all need to be original when we make courses, lol

Too bad like half of the levels in easy 100 Mario Challenge are recreations of 1-1 -_-

Glad you got it Javocado, it's fun as helk... :)
 
It's ironic on how many times I encounter the recreation stages on my 100 Mario Challenge runs. I came across those less than 10 times out of the 150+ courses I played.

One thing I've noticed with the mode is that, there are recently created levels that are actually more difficult than they should in Normal mode, probably because they had too few players who actually played them. The same can be said to Easy mode as well, as I encountered some difficult stages too, but they'd otherwise have at least 50% clear rate (I think).
 
Finally got my second medal, Zig was the one who gave me my 50th star. ^_^

I've watched my sister play the 100 Mario Challenge on Easy multiple times and another thing I notice is a fairly large amount of automatic levels. Some automatic levels are really good in all, but I usually don't star those because I actually prefer to play a level rather than watch a level. Not to mention, I've seen a couple of "automatic" levels that aren't automatic at all. Misleading titles like these are very annoying.
 
Sailor_Razor from GameFAQs posted an helpful mini-guide on which character gets unlocked on which difficulty in 100 Mario Challenge. For example, Lucina and Robin would normally be unlocked if you complete a run on Expert 100 Mario Challenge.

I'm glad to know that I only have 29 Normal and 21 Expert successful runs left to do before I can 100% this game. I haven't touched on Expert yet, but I would be finishing Normal first.
