Super Mario Maker

[scottcr]

really???? MOAR INFO

[Calashnikov]

Came across this bit of info in the Youtube comments below that Metroid vid:

By the way, there's another possible powerup not many people are aware of: the Goomba shoes can be given wings, which let you do a sort of Yoshi-like flutter jump.

Winners Don't Do Shrooms Goto about 12m 10s.

[boxoctosis]

That turns it almost into a bullet hell platformer. I'm convinced this is going to be the best thing ever.

[NEG]

Can you do slowly moving to the right levels? You know what i mean? The only example with a name that comes to mind is..

Bridge Zone

[Mr Do 71]

There are 3 levels of speed.

[NEG]

[SMD]

Autoscroller

[scottcr]

Hahahah... that Winners Don't Do Shrooms level is hilarious.

[DAB]

Giant Bomb did an excellent video where they made a custom sound effect.

[Mr Do 71]

American ad for the game.

[NEG]

That just made me want 3D Mario Maker.

[JPickford]

*Not actual game footage

[elmo]

Oh man. I've not got to the sound effect creator yet. I'm going to make the most cockney Mario level of all time.

[Purin]

Where's the cheapest place to buy the LE version (with Amiibo). Anywhere better than Shopto's £46.85?

[JPickford]

Love this video of carefully considered level design.

Much more interesting than just making near-impossible levels.

[Calashnikov]

I intend to make pretty fun 'athletic' style levels. They're the ones I enjoy most when playing Mario games myself. Levels like Vanilla Dome 4:

That reminds me of an old games magazine that came out in the early 90s, featuring complete screenshot maps of all the levels in various different games including SMW and Zelda 3. I must have pored over those tiny pictures for hours back then when it were all fields round here and you could get tuppence hapeth of corn in a bucket for the price of half a penny sweet and still have change to buy your own private island in the carribean and everyone wore hats and you left your doors unlocked so any old bugger could walk in but it was okay because there were only seven people alive back then and you knew all of them apart from that one dirty looking man who used to wave sticks at wildlife and shout obscene epithets at telegraph poles that were actually just known as trees back then before the telegraph was invented and kids these days they don't know they're born with their beepy boopy lectric pads and funky drug hairstyles and that was when Britain was great my friends.

Good video posted there by Mr Pickford. Exactly the sort of level I'll be aiming to make and look for. So pumped for this!

Console XS was a great magazine for its time (Early 90s) -

I've got a miserable lack of imagination when it comes to these things so I was thinking of staying away from the level building as I'd either be putting together some terrible hotchpotch of bad ideas, or just copying an old level at best (not in itself such a bad thing, I suppose). That video makes some great points on classic Mario level design though, makes it seem a lot more manageable to maybe come up with something good just by breaking it down like that.

One thing I do want to do it make some for my little girl, she's not two yet but likes pressing the buttons and stuff so something nice and simple with some sound effects from daddy should be pretty cool for her

[Revival]

Ordered it last night. I'd love to see some kind of hub world dlc where you can create a full map to house your levels in akin to Super Mario World.

We need a proper Super Mario World 2 essentially. Why haven't they done this?*






Yoshi's Island doesn't count.

[mdn2]

New Super Mario Bros U is the closest Nintendo has come to a spiritual sequel to World.

[Barnard]

[Mr Do 71]

LOL

[Jarik]

Are all of these neat levels going to be available in the retail game? It's not going to be the case that it was a 'beta' version of the online or something like that, & the retail will be starting fresh?

[Nate Dogg III]

The review version runs on its own server network that will be taken down when the full game launches, taking all uploads with it. It's a separate version of the game, too, so they can't even be saved locally. They'll be gone forever.

S'alright, most of them are fuckawful. Mine especially.

[JPickford]

These are levels that people (journalists, youtubers) have created and uploaded. That said, *I think* they are going to be wiped for the retail release as the review version is incompatible. Not totally sure but I read that somewhere.

[joffocakes]

Oh god, the mushroom at the end is perfect.

Yeah that was the magazine that came to mind when I read staplehead's post. It eventually branched off into Sega XS and Super XS. I'm fairly sure there were other magazines that did it, but the XS titles were the most comprehensive with their walkthroughs.
