Grinding for RNG isn't fun, the first one was okay

I swear I get worse 100 mario maps in the evening.

Finally done with this:

Bite-sized Levels Pack #2
6C18-0000-007B-05AC

Probably easier compared to Pack #1, but that depends on if you remember the controls.

My brother is struggling so much with making a music stage. We're both trash at this, but he doesn't want my pro mapping guidance

I'd like to a music stage but I don't know what song I'd do.

Just make sure you don't run into the same Music Block stacking and/or overlapping problem I did ._. Also, mind the enemies and/or items you use; an area can only hold so much.

Did you need two notes in similar spots? or is only one sound channel allowed for music blocks or something?

Similar spots, yes. But then I had situations where a Music Block was immediately over another one (hence my stacking issue). As far as "one sound channel" is involved, this can be fixed by either using the lower-/higher-pitched equivalent or using both an enemy and a powerup in the same spot... except my overlapping problem wouldn't sync properly (I swear they purposely desynced Fire Flowers or something), and I couldn't use Mushrooms in place because the song I used was slow enough to fit in just one screen. Sure, I could've used the sub-area as well, but I hate cutting off songs mid-way especially when the cutoff point would make it sound awkward.

Eh... whatever... I'll probably end up reuploading my semi-auto music level at one point with "fixes". I need sleep x.x

Ye idk why they didn't make music blocks able to be hit from all directions to make sound. Just above is so limiting for more complex or interesting designs.

Actually, Mario can hit it from the sides (with a Cape or Tanooki Suit) or from below; shells can do the same (you'll have to use Trampolines, Note Blocks, or Music Blocks and a Bill Blaster to make shells bounce up, though).

Doesn't produce a tone though, atleast it didn't when I tried.

Huh, you're right...

Well that sucks... Now I'll have to cut instruments again >_>

While traditional checkpoints aren't possible this level has a checkpoint system that uses passwords in order to skip to sections. Figured some would be interested in it.

I could totally use that idea in my Packs, but I don't feel like reuploading them... At any rate, awesome find!

EDIT: The Super Mario Maker stage for SSB4 (both versions) is now available for purchase!

EDIT 2: I'm remaking my semi-auto level stage. I'll upload it whenever it gets finished then take down the old one.

I think this is pretty interesting as it links to downloadable content even if it's just mystery mushroom for now. I really hope for an announcement of something like a dlc-pack though!

Reuploaded my semi-auto music level: D147-0000-008E-9997

I removed most of what the original version had but added more instruments to make up for it. (The secret is also trickier to get to.)

I've mainly been focusing on unlocking costumes but I guess I'll upload 2 maps I've been sitting on. Nearing 50 stars too.

4C93-0000-008E-AA07

Ah... yeah... I should get back to unlocking them, too...

Anyway, I got so lost on your level...

lol That isn't even the confusing one. The other I'll do later.

I personally don't like "hold right till you get to the exit levels" I wish we could do more with verticallity.

Unfortunately, we can only emulate tall levels via pipes and doors...

Yep, sadly that wont work with the concept I wish to do.

I'll probably make a heavily skill based level next. Think kaizo difficulty without the reaction based gameplay and blind sighting traps.

It would be cool to have a vertical level option... Maybe they could add something like a tower set :/

In case no one has seen this glitch yet.

It actually combines the appearance of one block with the properties of another and I have seen people managing to get invisible note blocks and ice blocks that can be gathered while a p-switch is active although I don't know the exact method yet.

I'm actually trying to make another level that uses that, though it also uses another interesting property.

...Well, you'll see it once I'm done. In the meantime, here's my latest creation:

The Misadventures of Toon Link

1. E9AA-0000-0092-B61F
2. A dungeon-like level that heavily uses Tracks to somewhat replicate the top-down Zelda games.

I've had some time to mess around with the block stacking glitch and have got some useful results.

Firstly in the video I posted above demonstrates a 2 block stack which is really only a small amount of what this glitch can do.

This glitch only works with the block tile and this includes:
-Stone block
-Brick block
-Ice block
-? Block
-Note block
-Invisible block
-Donut block
-Cloud block
-Coin

Note: Spike blocks, firebars and terrain tiles are not included in this list

Instructions or watch the video and skip to step 4:
1. Place a track and attach a block you can only use blocks that don't interact with Mario at all. I.e. Cloud, Ice and Stone (I find cloud most useful as it doesn't interfere)
2. Next just place the block you want you block stack to look like. In the video for example they use an invisible block so the stack is invisible and behaves like an ordinary stone block.
3. Move the track (and block) and place it so your both blocks are upon the same tile. If you want only a second tier stack remove the track by selecting the track tool and dragging across the already placed track.
4. For a third tier stack you want to select the block you want and draw over it (instead of placing it on top) This will override the behaviours of the block you initially had on the track and allows you to make ordinary blocks be a disguised note block for example. Then remove the track like in step 3.

Some interesting examples include:
Cloud>Invisible block>Note block = An invisible note block that with become visible once something interacts with it.

Cloud>Coin>Brick Block = Pretty much an inverse brick block (Can be collected (as if it were a coin) while in block form and solid in coin form)

Spikes and Terrain behave differently but can still work with the glitch, they however will always appear visible on top of any other block. Block properties underneath is conserved however so this can be used to conceal secrets or design purposes. An invisible block and spikes can also be used in invisible block bridges that a player would have no means to jump through to access the blocks underneath. Firebars count as enemies so the do nothing special. It is worth noting the vines with stop at an invisible block stack as the block is spawned it just needs something to trigger a graphic update.

There also seem to be some conditions that break the block stack but these are inconsistent and the stack with often return to normal after interactions or resetting the level.

Glitch level done. Have fun (or not).

My little brother made a level that crashes the game when you touch the flag, but managed to publish it after a few tries.

Crash from lag? or something else?
It's pretty pathetic the game can me made to lag imo

It's speculated that some unknown variable is triggered by complete luck based on the structure of his stage. It's a completely normal Yoshi level, but at the end, touching the goal flag will crash the game with a buzzing sound, where you are forced to reset the Wii U.

Though it seems that the result changes for different people, some crash, some don't. The level is big, so maybe certain events trigger it? Really weird lol.

It's cool that people are already discovering glitches, that will make some cool levels using them

I think the invincibility glitch has been known long enough that it seems nintendo won't be patching any of them. Since unbeatable levels would be really bad to have. Although block stack is fixable without that problem arising. At least we'll keep superspring.

Uhh... actually... I tried doing the invincibility glitch on my glitched Ghost House level... it doesn't seem to work anymore, and I swear that I'm doing the timing correctly...

I guess it's situational? I don't know...

Still works for me.
I just did it.

Meh... I'll test it again later.

EDIT: Here's my reuploaded glitched level: 10BE-0000-0098-F64C

EDIT 2: Here's my last level for a long while:

Let the Shells Open the Way!

1. FBA1-0000-00B6-1A37
2. Bill Blasters that shoot out shells! Open a path for them, and they'll open a path for you! There's also a secret area that takes inspiration from another level I played.

Separate post because this is awesome news: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/10/super_mario_maker_gets_mid-level_checkpoints_and_more_in_upcoming_update

I honestly don't mind reuploading some of my levels because of this~

Sweet.
I've been meaning to try out the clip through blocks glitch

This?

Yeah

Now we just need slopes \:D/

I'm already making preparations for my levels. That being said, there's also some things I needed to change on a few of them, so they definitely needed reuploading.

Also checkpoints appear to be flippable according to the new famitsu screenshots! I hope they actually get the SMW midway point design for the SMW style...

I saw.

I'm more interested in the fact that you need to be able to continue from the checkpoint. I suck at level designing in general, but I'd love to make a trap level involving checkpoints.

You could also do interesting things if blocks and coins reset after getting a checkpoint and dying.

I am happy that you have to be able to complete the level from the checkpoint to actually avoid traps >_>

Oh shit. If they actually did reset, I could reupload my original Ground Pound the [?] Blocks! level.

Just two more days for the update!

Me too The check points were necessary from the start though lol

AND SLOPES DX

And power ups when you're already super.

And chargin' chucks

I'd love to see them in the other gamestyles o:

Two links of interest:

The new Easter Egg
Glitches that were fixed

EDIT: I've started reuploading some of my levels. The rest will come later today (for me).

What did they do with the levels based around these glitches?

They're still uploaded, though since most of them are pretty much unplayable now (especially the invincibility glitch ones)... well...

Anyway, this game still isn't glitch-free. Also, here are my reuploaded levels:

Bite-sized Levels Pack #1 (Version 2.1)
06F0-0000-00D7-C6EA

Bite-sized Levels Pack #2 (Version 1.1)
F9AF-0000-00D7-CB7D

Let the Shells Open the Way! (Version 1.3)
2286-0000-00DD-DEE7

Ground Pound the [?] Blocks! (Version 3.0)
FB77-0000-00D8-A1E5

?????? - ??????? / Hold → & Run! (Version 3.0)
018C-0000-00D8-BD3E
(Not listing the actual name because this is a music level, so I want to keep it as a surprise.)

All of them have changelogs (via Miiverse).

P.S. Don't forget to do the Event Courses/Levels that have Mystery Mushroom costumes!

Personally I find it sad that they patched the glitches. If want to make levels no one can beat you don't need glitches to do so and I've always seen them as emergent gameplay.

I think there was not much thought put into the glitch fixes if these leveld are unplayable now lol
Anyways, I'm a bit disappointed not to see smw midway points :/

What sucks is that they kept the same sound effect for it... Nice tease, Nintendo >_>

lol

I uhh... posted that already.

Uh I didn't see that >_>

Yeah I saw it now xD
Anyways, looks like they have even more to patch now >_>

It's not a big deal for me, honestly. Unlike other glitches, this particular one only affects the spots where you place Checkpoint Flags. The best (worst?) you can do is make separate paths just like what the video showed.

All they had to do is disable every course until the creator beats it again. Then the impossible levels wouldn't exist. That simple really.

They do filter out levels after some time. It will eventually sort itself out. No unbeatable level is getting so many stars it will remain in.

Eh. I'd rather it waste creators time instead of the players time. Might just be me though.

Anyone leaving a comment on an unbeatable stage is auto-starred anyways. sooo yeah

RIP Panga then, took him 39 hours of attempts to beat his Kaizo map U-Break and that is just one of his Kaizo maps. Doing this would punish legitimate creators more than as it is now for standard players. How often do you come across an invincibility or super spring glitch level anyway?

If they can beat it once, they can beat it again though.

Idk, maybe a better way would be that any course is playable, but it won't get put on the 100 mario challenge until the creator beats it again. That way, those panga maps would still be playable. Let's face it, no one wants a panga map in 100 mario challenge anyways XD

You mean Kaizo levels in general... lol.

Kaizos make themselves pretty obvious early on. Find the invisible block levels will burn many more lives

Well it depends on the level of Kaizo. To come back to panga, these are not obvious at all. Anyways, you can still skip levels.

The game has been updated to 1.21. They didn't fix the Checkpoint Flag glitch yet.

EDIT: http://nintendoeverything.com/super-mario-maker-adds-nes-remix-course-unlocks-frog-mario-costume/

Why not just add the literal item... This is such a bad tease >_>

I bet some people wishing for the frog suit are salty now. I never liked it though.

A bigger variety of items wouldn't be a bad thing though :/

Yay, Mario & Luigi Paper Jam costumes are coming!

Which is awesome and all, but that's just teasing us North Americans again (just like they did with the Yoshi's Woolly World skins) ;_;

Damn you poor poor Americans

At least not four months this time :/

I guess they didn't have enough fun after Mario Kart 8.



(For those that don't have the game: the reason why this video is relevant is because Mercedes-Benz also did a crossover with Super Mario Maker.)

wow

That being said, the level is very well-done (even if it is on the easier side).

I understood it for Mario Kart as it fits well but for Mario Maker, idk >_>

what about releasing actual useful DLCs with more objects, more settings (!) etc, instead of stupid cars

This is always what the Amiibo costumes were going to amount to.

Well they will hopefully release more like the checkpoints

I'm still waiting on the desert theme, Nintendo >.> And where the hell are the Athletic themes/music for SMB3 and SMW?! AND WHERE ARE THE SLOPES, ASDLFKJAS;LDFKJASL;DFJSLADFJ;ASLJKFDL

On a more wishlist note: I'd like to see a winter/snow world theme. They already have ones for SMB3, SMW, and NSMBU (I vaguely remember one for SMB), so why not?

Slopes ;-;

Still no slopes, but this is still pretty cool:

I would have prefered the door without the outlines to create some secrets but it's better than nothing o/

Yeah, I thought the same.

Either way, I'm definitely gonna be reuploading one of my levels.

These bouncy rings and the fire clown car are interesing as they are no things from the main series. Maybe we will see more exclusive stuff added over time o:

Nintendo, why?

Good job Nintendo! lol

This is perfect

oh wow

So guys, how about that Super Mario Maker update segment during the most recent Nintendo Direct, eh?

It has some cool new elements but I still wait for slopes and other themes :/

I'm extremely excited for Keys/Key Coins.

Yeah, they are really cool. As I have said before, I love how they add original content to the game

Teeeeeeeeeeeechnically Keys aren't new; they're carried over from Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario World. The only exception is that it seems like they've been changed so that Mario/your character (if you have a Mystery Mushroom costume on) always carry them no matter what you do (unless you die/restart; no clue how Checkpoints will affect them).
