Super Mario Maker

Re: Super Mario Maker

I dont have a Wii U but seeing this game might make me buy one. Is it just a design game for Super Mario Levels, or will some of the pre-existing mario levels from previous super mario games be in the game?

In the info we've seen so far, no previous levels, all new levels plus the ability to create new ones. Will ship with 100 levels made by Nintendo.

And I bought a Wii U for this game Well MK8, Smash Brothers, and Zelda to name a few as well

Re: Super Mario Maker

So after watching some videos, I do have one area of concern in course design- invisible blocks.

I have seen several videos where people place invisible blocks at obvious jump locations. If these are over used its going to get real old quick. I think its fine to have them for hidden power-ups or as part of puzzle, but just hiding them to prevent a jump doesn't test a players skill at all. Hopefully this won't be a popular trend to make a level "harder"

I fully expect someone to recreate this level (video NSFW):

These were prevalent in The Lost Levels in the All Stars package on snes.

This is not a test.

I haven't played the lost levels, but I know it was the original SMB2 in Japan. It wasn't released elsewhere (we got SMB2 which was a remake of another platformer). The concern was that it was too hard for western gamers, so I guess that says something. In the lost levels, are they placed so that if you take a routine jump you hit them and die? I just watched a few levels and I see them but none that make you die if you hit them, I see hidden powerups and as puzzles, which is great

I just don't want them all over the place so that if you hit them you fall and die. IMO it is not a fun game mechanic or a test of skill.....time will tell what people make though

I know it happens in at least 2 spots where a routine jump leads to hitting a hidden block and instant death.

So not too frequent in actual mario levels. We shall see!

Re: Super Mario Maker

As far as I can remember it was just limited to the Lost Levels.

Re: Super Mario Maker

Just a heads up, if you have Amazon Prime you get $10 off the game.
