[Mario Maker 2] Final update on 4/22! Frog Suit! Overworld creator! And More!

MNC Dover

"Welcome to the Super Mario Maker 2 thread! Woo-hoo!"

This is your one-stop shop for all the PA forum levels you can shake a stick at. We can also use this thread to discuss older non-offshoot Mario titles, including Super Mario Maker 1.

If you'd like to view other people's levels, you can either manually add in each code as they get posted or enter one code and add that person as a favorite. Once you've got someone on your favorite list, you can just click on their name and pull up all their levels. To make this process a little easier, below is a list of names of PA people with at least one level they've created. Punch in the code and favorite them! If you'd like to get added to the list, simply PM me or @ notify me in your post.

ADD YOUR SUPER MARIO MAKER CODES FOR OTHER PA FOLKS TO PLAY!

We've got a google doc of backlogged levels by PA users. The thread can move fast, so check here for level updates in case you've missed any posts.

SUPER MARIO MAKER CHALLENGE!

Like in the last thread, I will create SMM Challenge event. Basically, every week a Judge will create a challenge with fun or unique twists for players to build levels around. The players will then upload their codes for everyone to try out. The Judge will play all the levels and determine a winner, who will become the new Judge and create the rules for the next challenge or let me someone else decide if they don't wanna be the Judge.

Here is the format for submitting levels to be judged and creating challenge guides for players to follow (simply copy/paste as necessary):

Judge Challenge Guide

I'm so going to torture you all with levels. This I swear

After watching somebody play a level based on Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes, where he relied on Twitch chat to tell him what was going on on the screen, I want to make a level based on A Way Out or We Were Here -- two paths through the level that take you through a series of rooms, with the hints for each path contained in the other path, so that two players need to work through it together. EDIT: Hopefully there will be Waluigi and Wario costumes for SMM2 so I can title the level, "A Waaaah Out".

AbsoluteZero

I got turned off hard from Mario Maker when Nintendo deleted one of my levels, that I spent several hours carefully crafting, for no apparent reason and wouldn't let me reupload it, even with edits. Yet Mario Maker was fucking clogged with terrible levels that so far as I could tell only got to stay up because a somewhat popular youtuber shit them out. Really going to take some convincing to get me to buy this one.

Tomorrow morning there is a Nintendo Direct that will go over Mario Maker 2 for 15 minutes.

skeldare

This is probably my most anticipated game of the summer, followed closely by Fire Emblem.

Henroid

Things I'm hoping to hear tomorrow:
- music selection, instead of it being locked based on background used
- a way to filter out Kaizo style levels because fuuuuck that shit
- Super Mario Bros 2 mode

Cantido

Humanity couldn't make good levels the first time around (I certainly can't), how are they going to do any better now?

WACriminal

Announcement predictions for tomorrow:

-Multiplayer levels
-Objective-based elements, such as "collect X coins"
-Some sort of hook for the different pipe colors besides aesthetics

I dont know if any are still up but mine were pretty good. Consistently upvoted and everything.

WACriminal

Yeah there were a lot of really good levels on there based on what I've seen.

akThera

I wasn’t interested in this... Until I realized I could make “Baby’s First Platformer” levels for my 4yo.

I’m going to... The opposite of torture you. Imma make easy, silly fun levels.

I had my nephew design a level for Mario Maker. He insisted it be a water stage and hooo boy. It's not difficult, but it's actually not easy either.

Edit - This was about a year and a half ago when he was 4yo.

IceBurner

This is a release day purchase for me. My childhood notebook levels that had slopes will get new versions that have slopes.

Excited to find out what else I can achieve with the new tools!

a nu start

Preordered from Amazon Japan because I get a touch pen, a stuffed bob-omb, and a pencil case. Suck it nerds.

Lucascraft

Yeah, I made a few pretty good levels in Mario Maker 1 (if I do say so myself). But I wasn't going for ball-crushing hard, and I wasn't going for gimmick. My goal was simply to create authentic feeling Mario levels that were fun to play.

MNC Dover

Remember the Super Mario Maker 2 stream will air at 3pm PST/6pm EST. Will post link before it starts.

Just because it's impossible to tell when any given person stopped paying attention, don't forget that that they invented the "Super Expert" difficulty midway through the game's run, which absorbed the bulk of the "full-time Mario hack streamer" levels. Expert felt legitimately challenging but still fair after that happened.

Zombie Hero

I loved the first one, and the weekly competitions we did were super fun. I’m very much excited for a reason to get back into it.

Endless_Serpents

I never got the first one, so I’m looking forward to trying to make some faithful Mario levels. Screw crazy levels, I want to make a bunch of ‘World 1’ skill ranged levels with silly names.

I don't understand why they were deleting levels in the first place (outside of offensive material anyways). Like sorry you aren't a popular enough creator and we can't afford this 14kb of server space, so you can't share this level with anybody and we already got your money so eat a dick. It's a shitty way to curate. I might hold off until I know if they are going to be shitty about level sharing again.

MNC Dover

Going live in 20 minutes!

Athenor

The biggest feature I hope they announce: Importing original SMM stages (and maybe some form of miiverse)

Secret guilty pleasure: overworlds and unique characters, so we can do SM2 style levels

Oh, and more dress-up options; I want the amiibo costumes to be in more than just the SMB1 style!

MNC Dover

Here we go!

TehSpectre

"and play the story mode"

wut

Zombie Hero

Looks like an almost intimidating number of new features.

Weird to see a "Boo" option to review a course. I think i prefer the either upvote or nothing approach.

lionheart_m

omg....it's beautiful

MNC Dover

As an all-digital user, the digital vouchers sound awesome!

lionheart_m

I need more info! I need more Nintendo games!!!

This is a REALLY good option if you think long-term. Like, I'm already thinking this + Link's Awakening, or Bayo 2...

Holy fuck that was a lot of content. Can't wait to piss off my friends!

Kupi

Course tagging is absolutely something I wanted to see, but I have to wonder what their strategy is going to be for false tagging. Oh sure, my romhack level is totally a "puzzle"...

creator + user voting on tags?

Zombie Hero

Cat Mario really seems to blow the design space wide open. It will be a challenge making a level that includes cat mario that he doesn't just destroy.

Dodge Aspen

Story Mode! I am all about that.
Also, the true love of 3D World this game has makes 3D World Deluxe a near certainty, if it wasn’t already.

Henroid

Yeah down voting being an option means they need to have security in place for review bombing bullshit that toxic gamers feel the need to do.

I think they would just auto remove down-voted levels, to get past all those bs trap levels that were all over the place last time. If that's the route they go, then maybe they could adjust the algorithm for review bombs (maybe weight "Boos" by the percentage of positive responses the user doles out), or something.

WACriminal

OK that was incredible and I can't wait.

I hope the Multiplayer Co-Op doesn't require players to all be in the same zone at all times. It didn't seem to -- players were definitely offscreen from each other during the demo.

Auto removing down-voted levels would be giving toxic assholes exactly what they want.

I'm guessing the kind of levels that would be review bombed would be the ones uploaded by 'unpopular' youtubers or whatever, which should have some sort of critical mass of positive votes from their followers. The levels with a large number of up and down votes can probably be curated differently.

...that was a bonkers amount of content, including a bunch of course features I don't think were in any other Mario game before.

And Koji Kondo with new music! This sequel is nowhere near half-assed.
