I keep wondering what things I’m trying out are either being done by a dozen other SMM2 makers whose levels I just haven’t found yet and which ones are even older hat to people who were on board with the Wii U.
I’m surprised Keen was such a big thing! But not that surprised I guess!
I do love seeing design philosophies that look more like 90s DOS games than Mario type stages. It’s real neat.
Stumbled onto a Reddit thread for Maker IDs of game developers and streamers.
I’m playing Tom Hall’s level and it’s very, very, Commander Keen.
Like it’s a semi nonlinear maze where you collect keys even.
Super Mario world toadette is super adorable. Kinda sad this probably means peach is going to be playable in less of them now that they have a girl toad, tho. 
how does the item limit work? It feels so inconsistent
edit: turns out the particular limit I’m running up against is the “overlap” limit. Which still feels inconsistent
this netcode is a crime
LTK-9PF-51H
update: i am very disappointed in this ending
@RT-55J - you beat Guardian of Fire Bridge? How long did it take you? Congrats!
LOL I just found out that a popular Mario streamer (GrandPOObear) got that level in an endless run. Very glad I ported that level early!
he respects your level, but it sucks, but he rated that he liked it hahahaha
thats really neat
“this feels like math” is my favorite message in chat. Opinion seems split whether it’s a good level or not!
I wasn’t keeping track of time, but I think it took me somewhere around 30-60 minutes of attempts. Once I figured out the places where you could skip past several firebars at once, the level changed from terrifying and sloggy to terrifying and gripping. (good level tbqhimo)
According to a snapshot I took, my final clear time for the stage was 1:05.540, which is significantly faster than grandpoobear’s 1:23.777. I find that hilarious and oddly comforting.
I think my next level is going to be much better.
Still bad, just not as bad.
Found another puzzle level that abuses scroll lock; the platforming is a little more annoying than I’d put in a puzzle level personally, but the execution of the puzzles is solid. Slightly different twist on what I did.

Found myself holding shells in one of @HOBO’s levels to block incoming bullets and was inspired to make a short course around that:
Bullet Shell
SLL-JK5-Q3G
@HOBO then played my level and commented “Cool Idea!” Full circle!
I also recreated two speedy courses I made in the first game to hopefully raise my Mushroom Kingdom social media profile:
Death From Above
BKY-8W4-4FG
Quick Castle Course

I made a level. Hopefully it’s moderately challenging.

I was originally going to have a 30 or 50 second time limit, but I decided to up it to a leisurely 100. (I can beat it in <20 seconds.)
anyone else developing an eventual fatal aneurysm by playing versus mode?
