reading all this thread and watching youtube videos is making me REALLY want to unpack my WiiU and fire this mother up! But trying to be strong, it's a seller's market in my area right now so HOPEFULLY I have a strong offer in another week or two and can unpack it and not worry about the clutter in the house... because once I unpack one system I KNOW I'm going to need to unpack more

Re: The Super Mario Maker Thread
Two more people beat Spin Jump To Freedom (Insane!).
When designing these levels, one thing that really pissed me off is that you can spin jump off saw blades like you could in SMW. Why the hell not? So I got mad and decided to focus on platforming spin jumps on blocks alone, even though it's a lot tougher (you don't get the same height off a block as you do off an enemy). I was planning on putting saws on tracks and having pretty much an entirely different level. I know you can spin jump off other things like thwomps, but saws are really the only thing that looks good on tracks lol. IDK, I wanna make another spin jump level, but I also don't want more than half of my uploaded levels to be spin jump levels. LOL, I don't want people to see my username and be like "Oh, the spin jump guy. Pass."
edit: Here's a spin jump level that's completely different than mine: http://kotaku.com/beating-this-mario-ma ... 1731503307
I've been working on a SMW Ghost House level. I was too tired after work last night to complete it, but it's coming along nicely. I wanted to try and make it feel maze-like, but without actually being confusing. I think I got that done.
One thing that I'm kinda having trouble with is enemy placement. Out of the selection of enemies Mario Maker gives you, there's only a small amount that belong in a ghost house. By that I mean, a Koopa Troopa or Goomba would seem very out of place in a ghost house. You really only have Boo Buddies (and their two variations), Dry Bones, MagiKoopa. Nothing else really fits, IMO. And MagiKoopa is kinda pushing it. Lakitu should turn into a Fishing Boo when you switch to the ghost house set. Dry Bones should change into a Bony Beetle when you shake him. You can't spin jump off Boo Buddies, which bothers me. There should be Eerie, and he can turn into Fishbone in water. Big Boo would be nice. He could be a normal enemy, then maybe shake him to turn him into the boss version!

Oh, right, I saw that in a video before the game launched but forgot. I don't care much for underwater levels, so I haven't built one yet.alienjesus wrote:Dry bones turn into fishbones under water don't they?

Re: The Super Mario Maker Thread
Who else beat your insane version? I know Blu beat it before I did, and it took me a good 20-30 min. of dying before finally getting it.
I know the first time I got to the P Switch and just took it with me into the lava, I was like "fuuuuuuck".

Re: The Super Mario Maker Thread
I want to state for the record that it was not me! I can't even come close!
I haven't had too much time to make much, but I just noticed I am just 5 stars away from 150 wooooo!!!
I gotta work on a new level at some point. It is going to be a very interesting interpretation of a beloved game franchise that does not involve Mario. Muahahahahahahaha!

Re: The Super Mario Maker Thread
I agree with you, Bogus, that I'm not a tremendous fan of completely auto-run courses (in general). However, if they're designed so it plays music .... I think that's kind of rad.

Hey Bogus, I think it was you that said a few pages back that you beat the fly swatter mini game. Any tips for beating it? It's MUCH harder than Mario Paint because of the time limit. It feels like you have to be perfect or you wont win.

Round 1 - Swat the flies!
Round 2 -
That is true. If there is music involved, it is always a nice diversion from the norm. The auto levels aren't bad per se, but they aren't something that I want to play over and over again. They aren't the greatest.Cronozilla wrote:I agree with you, Bogus, that I'm not a tremendous fan of completely auto-run courses (in general). However, if they're designed so it plays music ....

By the way! Has anyone come across some amazing levels that they want to share? I haven't found too much, but there was one level I played that I thoroughly enjoyed. I will have to look it up and post it when I get on next.

Re: The Super Mario Maker Thread
Thanks, I'm gonna try and beat it this weekend. I really wanna beat it after finding out what the reward is...BogusMeatFactory wrote:Here are my tips
Speaking of costumes... The only Amiibo you NEED to have a costume unlocked is the 30th Anniversary Mario, and the rest can be unlocked by beating the 100 Mario Challenge (one at a time). But, I read the other day that there's only a limited amount of unlocks you can get from beating it on easy. After X amount (I'm guessing around 33 unlocks) it stops unlocking costumes when you beat it. You have to then play normal and expert difficulties. Normal isn't hard, it just takes a while to play through 16 levels. But expert can be a PAIN in the ASS! Finding out that I'll have to play through expert mode a bunch of times put a frown on my face. Easy mode takes 10 minutes to clear. So, I can kinda understand why Nintendo did this. But, dammit!
Hopefully I can unlock all the costumes that I'd even care to use before easy mode runs dry. I got Mario Kart the other day, and I got Luigi pretty early on. There might be a few more that I wouldn't mind having, but I really want Sonic. I would just buy a Sonic Amiibo to unlock him that way, but the Amiibo is the new style Sonic. Eff that. Don't they make a classic style Sonic Amiibo?
