Super Mario Maker levels

just wanna say, as someone who used to be obsessed with Excitebike's level creator and spent lots of time as a 7-year old designing Mario levels on paper, this game makes me extremely happy, and also bummed that I don't really have the time to play it

sweet, now make a tip calculator

that ghost house that has the block which makes the screen experience an NES-style glitch was pretty neat, actually made me laugh out loud

there's a lot of funny stuff in this game, idk when it happened but someone at Nintendo has a great sense of humor

Nintendo has had a decent sense of humor for a long time (your princess is in another castle)

okay this is kinda crazy

i kinda fell for ryukahr's calm process and have been watching maybe a half hour of him playing every day. I'm a nerd!

I’m still watching JuzCook even though he mostly posts troll levels.

I've been watching some "CarlSagan42" videos lately. His specialty is playing troll levels -- levels where players needs to make decisions, and the designer tries to get them to choose the wrong ones. Lots of creative terminology like "carl box" (an area where stopping and thinking is the wrong choice), "anti-softlock" (areas where you would be stuck, but there's a difficult way to kill yourself) and "twice twice" (two different areas that look the same). I'm impressed by how varied SMM2 levels can be.

Here's a good example.

Juz and Carl are like a team. The whole crew of kaizo players seem to know each other. It’s kind of funny in a way.

All the Ryukahr videos that popped up in my youtube recommendations used to annoy me because whenever I tried to watch his videos I was put off by his boring, soft persona. Then one day I was watching GlitchCat7 on twitch and he brought up a story about how Ryukahr saved him. At one of the GDQs GlitchCat’s pants started smoking and Ryu got Glitch’s attention. Apparently his vaporizer was acting up in his pocket. Anyways it was cool how GlitchCat spoke fondly of Ryu being a total bro about it. I changed my opinion on Ryu. I still don’t watch his videos but all these guys in the mario maker/smw hack scene seem like genuinely good guys. I admit I was also too quick to judge ThaBeast as well. He looked like some edgy kid and then I clicked his video and heard his strong southern accent and saw how genuinely chill he is. (I don’t know if he knows the other guys but he definitely has strong skills at very difficult mario maker 2 levels).

Oh I enjoy Ryukahr's personality as much as the gaming. The pleasure and appreciation he exudes when he completes a particularly hard game is really palpable

I’m in carlsagan42’s discord and it’s the best way I’ve found of finding levels. He has created a system where anyone can submit a level by “genre,” e.g. puzzle, troll, etc., and the level code is posted in a channel where no one can chat—they can only use a react emoji to show that they liked the level. I generally scroll through those channels and find the most upvoted levels, and play those.

Zelda update looks insane

oh my

ninji speedrun also fun. Get the feeling this ride could last awhile.

i guess i need to buy a switch now huh

I am getting this game for xmas "from my kids." Kinda want to open it now and rewrap on the 24th.

my nephew is getting it for christmas, but he doesn't think the game comes out until then. i'm going to make him a giant custom level with this name all over it

that is an amazing christmas gift idea

I've only played the story mode levels, some of those are incredibly creative. I've actually never taken it online yet and I'm a little afraid to because literally every level I've seen that's online is something I would fail in 0.02 seconds

one of his favorite things is to pretend things are exploding (he's 6), so i will probably just make room after room of giant groups of enemies that can somehow be easily exploded

I dunno why I took so long to take this online but I'm playing through some of the top levels right now and wow, the constant barrage of little graphics and quotes popping up everywhere is hilarious and super annoying

do they have like regular levels on this thing or is everything some insane Rube Goldberg nightmare

It’s possible to track down people just making regular levels trying to be good and non-kaizo difficulty, do some clever searching and find some creators who seem good to you I think?

Idk I didn’t spend much time w this

Only one update left, but it's a big one.

this is amazing.

ya looks rad

Can't wait for the YouTube vids this will bring

that is fucking outrageous!
god i wish i were better at this game

Grand Poo Bear got to 622 on his attempt at 1000 Endless no-skip levels and got taken out in the 49th video. Been watching for six months, it's been a journey.

i knew he had to start over, but i hadn't seen the level that did him in - that's terrible

very relatable

lol, love the moment at 40:35 when he finally beats it ("i had to go back for revenge")

he says, "tough level, man"

back on it!

After watching lots of ryukahr he comes off as way too aggro for me, lol.

'Expert' is not the highest difficulty classification, right (that's 'super expert')? On super expert Ryu rarely gets past the first screen (15 levels or whatever). Not to denigrate these insane runs, just checking.

GPB is the only other streamer i watch outside of ryukahr and he took awhile to grow on me. It's mostly his ridiculous skill set; he strikes me as a better freestyle player than ryu which is really saying something.

And yeah, he's on the level below what ryu is playing but i don't think anyone could realistically do 100 no-skip super expert levels, much less 1000.

he hit 1000 today

agh spoilers!

i'm following on youtube!

aw sorry forks. i didn't think of that, my bad.

i'll cope.
