gaming Mario Maker 2 Discussion & Level Sharing

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,794]

It is finally upon us! Super Mario Maker 2 is now out for the Nintendo Switch and already it is easily one of my favorite games for the platform and for 2019. I have sunk some hours into it already and minus some very minor gripes (more like me not being used to some new things), I have had so much fun with it. To me, this game is a definitive reason to own a Switch.

SO! Who else has the game? What are your thoughts? What are your likes and maybe dislikes? Played some cool stuff so far? Chat away makers of the Mario.

You know what else? Level Sharing. Or I guess course sharing is more accurate. As one might know, each level comes with a specific ID code, making it a breeze to look up levels made by specific people. Have a level that you want to share, yours or otherwise? Baboom, this be the place folks.

Speaking of, I have a level! Most of my morning has been spent on making this course and it has been a great experience with learning how all this stuff works. Even with just starting out,  Ithink I made something that is kinda neat. Nothing mindblowing but hey, first attempt and all that.

I call it Into the Ice Cavern. Pretty cool name eh?

Here is the course ID: 1HS-CDK-VNG

Bob-Omb Hills: Steal the Gold! Course ID: GM9-JS2-WNG

Any new courses I will make I will add to this initial post most likely. If I remember to do so, I may try to add all levels listed into the initial post here.

I'm enjoying the sequel to this game with its newly added features. I reckon this is gonna get more popular than the predecessor on the Wii U.

I've created two courses for everypony to play on. Give them a whirl and see what you think of them. Have fun!

Baby Steps: 26T-V8C-GSG

The Trial of the Courageous Cat: 6DY-19V-M1H

I'll play other courses as soon as I fully recovered from my RSI.

I really want this game but its 60$ which is crazy so no no.

I pre-ordered this game a few weeks ago. I don't often pre-order games, but i had to make an exception for SMM2, as i played the first one.

I don't have my own level yet, as i play mostly levels in either endless mode or multiplayer. But i am sure i will something here in the future.

I want to get my hands on this as soon as possible. I really enjoyed the original game - If memory serves me correct I spent over 160 hours on it. The new features I've seen so far, are things that I really wanted to see in the original and I'm glad the sequel has chosen to expand on preexisting mechanics.

A Simple Armada: PYB-HL5-CYG

I know it's not an autoscroll level, but it's worth a shot.

I don't have a Switch, but I been watching random streams of Multiplayer Versus, which I like to study (I'm a game programmer, and want to spot how they dealt with the issues), because I need to keep up with all 2D Mario games. I keep track of changes and figuring out how things work behind the scenes. Sadly I can't test any levels by myself

I managed to recreate my only level from the first one and thanks to the feature of stacking ground from top to bottom of screen, I was able to make rooms where the camera wouldn't peek pass the rooms' boundaries. Give it a try. Especially you, @Mesme Rize

I have made a new level thingy. Of course, getting people to play said level is a real challenge, how MM2 handles all this has been a disappointment.

Regardless, here is my new level and its ID:

Bob-Omb Hills: Steal the Gold!: GM9-JS2-WNG

I was the first one to beat it.

How exactly MM2 is handling all this a disappointment?

Mainly in that if a level doesn't get plays early on, then it is entirely on the level being shared and then played from that, if you are lucky. I am unsure how it could be improved but it is a lot of luck.

Well, at least the game allowed me to favorite/follow you so I can quickly see the levels you made and give them a try. With so many levels being uploaded every day, of course some levels would get buried and not noticed. Just be presistant

I got the game yesterday and have already created one stage. Sadly, my Switch Online expired not long ago, but hopefully I'll be able to renew it tomorrow. I really want to start uploading and playing some stages on this thread.

Well, I got my Switch Online renewed and I've finished two stages -- I just need to upload them. One of my main issues in the first game was that I made my stages too difficult. I'm trying to avoid that this time around.

Made this in time for my birthday to share with the rest of the world

When You Wish Upon a Star (Run!)

Course ID: KC3-9MK-58G

So two things: Firstly, I've been on a Mario Maker binge watching a lot of let's plays and a level idea just hit me and I don't know if it's been made yet. The second thing is I don't have the game, don't even know if I'll get yet but I really want this idea out there!

Eels and Escalators: A simple die rolling-esque mechanic with a turtle shell bouncing of the On/Off switches until a bomb that is lit to explode triggers a pow that stops the shell and will randomly leave the player either taking a treadmill up the level or a Wiggler on a rail down the level and just keep doing that eventually leading to maybe a boss fight of varying difficulty at the end depending on how many eels you "rolled" except of course if you get all eels then "You Lose" with an insta-death.

Again I don't know if this exists, I want it to be a thing so if it does let me know or I may make it myself if I ever get the game but I needed this idea written down somewhere.

[Cash In 22,523]

I have uploaded a stage, so I'll share my Course ID for it. If you like what you see, you can easily access my other stages as you can go on my maker profile in-game.

Surprised that I didn't know about this thread until Cash In brought it up in one of my status updates. Well... I'll continue to use my status updates to share my levels since I have been given the all-clear by my superiors to do so. But, I'll also use this thread for more longevity since it doesn't take long for updates to get replaced by newer ones. Anyway, here is my newest level which I uploaded earlier today.

Bowser's Dark Airship 3.

Have fun with this one.
