I've only tried expert once, but I couldn't beat a single level... I don't know if I should feel embarrassed or not haha. Don't get me wrong, I didn't run out of lives and face game over, but I tried for ages and skipped loads of levels until I just gave up.

I beat it once. I was at level 7 or 8 and had only 53 lives left. I decided to start skipping levels. I used my judgement. If I died once, that didn't mean to automatically skip. But if I could tell the level was INSANE then I wouldn't hesitate to skip.

Not my level, but...

Bombing Rocket Ride

4DEA-0000-0038-1270

I found this when playing the 100 Mario Challenge on normal difficulty and it really stood out to me. For some reason this level only got 7 stars so far. I thought it was well thought out and fun to play. Check it out!

Yay! I hit 150 stars and got the next medal! That isn't too shabby considering I have only put up 13 levels. Now I need to fill that roster! I believe the next medal is at 300, but being able to upload 30 levels is really good. That is almost 1 complete Mario Game! WOOO WOOO!

I also want to say thank you guys for playing and starring my courses! I couldn't get to this point without your awesome support! Keep those levels coming and I will keep on paying it forward! You all rock!

How'd you get to 150 already? Pfft guess you're winning the race now :P

I've been away for a couple of days, so I guess I need to catch up with all you guys' levels.

I just made a new one called Saw. It's pretty crap.

Yeah from the looks of it it is 300. I was seeing some people who had 280 stars and still only had 3 medals.

I have been working a grass roots campaign, commenting on people's levels, giving positive feedback and it seems to pay off. I also made two fan-service levels with a Sonic Underwater level and an Attack on Titan level, which definitely boosts the popularity. My method is, do 2 legitimate levels and then 1 cheesy gimmick level. I gotta make two legitimate levels and then move on to my gimmick idea, which I am excited to do!

Maybe I'll make an auto level. :lol:

If you consider my spin jump levels a gimmick, then almost half my uploaded levels are gimmick levels!

Yeah I was gonna say, a gimmick level is a really simple concept attached to a level. The spin jump levels, my Attack on Titan level etc. all rely on a very simple concept. They aren't bad by any means, but I do feel that they attract more likes. Unless they are crazy like Ziggy and make an impossible spin jump level hahahaha!
