I'm just gonna put it on my back as a form of movement. Did you know it could do that too? It was discovered in 2006. Unfortunately when the music goes 'bah' goombas can hit me from above, and there's no known way to prevent this from happening.

[@desexeddoggo2520]

It’d be so much easier if we could just copy and paste everything from Super Mario Maestro into the game lol

And here I was trying to make a music level by ear... :"D Thank you kind sir!

[@cutetwirll]

Making a music level by ear is hard, I tried it and it sounded horrible 😭 its like drawing without a reference

[@dylanstrife7652]

@@cutetwirll I always used to make mine by ear but they were so simple as well... I was able to make a decent version of let it go from frozen but this sounds way easier lol

[@sdgml3878]

Apparently, I have been making levels wrong...I've been using my ear and making my own arrangements....it is very tedious.

[@onewaytochrist]

Same lol

[@chondontore]

It's also important to take into consideration the noises that the enemies or entities make after the note is played. The star bouncing noise and the chomp bark was rather distracting from the main theme.

[@JohnLattanzio98]

You can solve that by using a different game style

[@aceventura1476]

YES! Thank you. I really wanted to get some info on this.

[@MegaKBang]

Thanks for the video! But somehow I feel like the coins don't really fit into music levels and are better just sparely used otherwise they mess too much with the song in my opinion.

[@kingbill8155]

I always wondered how these music levels were made great video dude

[@substandardnerd]

*Hall of Fame theme intensifies* Congrats! You now have officially made your first music level!

[@grotesquenathan2515]

[@gr8_j4v38]

Wow Arrow! You are the ACTUAL best!!!!!😀

[@mundodacrianca2147]

Perfect (literally)! It feels as if the God composed the music and took his eternal time with it! The only flaw is that it sounds very, very slightly off due to the star bouncing noises and the barks, although it's very hard to hear.

[@gribblegrape6496]

That level looks really fun have you uploaded it???

[@redjoltandcooking9970]

Midi if you didnt know means midea file! Its a fact

[@ratstir7842]

Good job! Your channel is awesome. Just imagine a kid who would do anything for course ideas.

[@amazingfireboy1848]

That's the problem. Everyone is giving me course IDEAS but I need tips on course DESIGNING. For example, where to put slopes and how to progress with difficulty. Also I'm talking about Nintendo-like traditional levels.

[@olulanaosibeluwo4183]

@@amazingfireboy1848 Look at Odyssey Central's video on video design.

[@olulanaosibeluwo4183]

I mean level design

[@amazingfireboy1848]

@@olulanaosibeluwo4183 While he DOES explain the progressive difficulty and how to use the main idea, he doesn't help with how to put things in a certain situation. Let's say your making a sky level about piranha plants in NSMBU. How do you introduce piranha plants? Half way into the level is a checkpoint. What situation do you spawn in? What will the bonus area be? How do you make a tough part with piranha plants?! These are the questions I want answers to.

[@Kylin_Phoenix_Vartilo]

By this point, anybody playing SMM should know what piranha plants are, so I don't think a tutorial around plants is needed. If you want to introduce a really unique concept though, then first start with an easier version (read, very basic) and scale it up with your ideas as you go along. When it comes to difficulty, playtesting is very, very important. A lot of difficulty comes down to timing (jumps over a platform as piranha pants leap out of pipes) or precision (making just the right jump through a small gap between plants). Test around with how quickly you want the pace to be or how tight you want the jump by playtesting it. As for the checkpoint, I say that it ALWAYS needs to be in a completely safe spot. Say, a peaceful mushroom platform with blocks above it before leaping across piranha laden pipes. Finally, as for a bonus area, it should be either a path off the main road to reward exploration or it should be tough to get to. I'd say reward the player with a guaranteed powerup (cat suit, propeller shroom, fire flower). It'll help make the level easier as a reward for their troubles. 1-ups also work, though I say have them be complimentary most of the time.

[@jorgeproductions8262]

I made a volcano like theme in this game it's just the castle with semi solids over and I added custom music with noteblocks that can be used in traditional levels

[@jorgeproductions8262]

I uploaded a example level for it if you wanna give it a try ID: 4M1-148-27G

[@vannanoralez3653]

[@anime4realogs]

[@Loskythecopydog77]

So I export a song that was a "It" file which was for another program so I export it to a midi and put it in the SMM2 Music Maker and there's always an error popping up.

[@ammondmilk5567]

I tried looking up a Maka Wuhu MIDI file, but for some reason it won't find what I'm looking for. What should I do?

[@BrokenG-String]

I was wondering how you can make music that loops on tracks within a screen length, like the one koopaling level u played that had a looping Bowser's theme from Mario 64.

[@alysdexia]

length -> span, width; u -> you another video covers tracks

[@alexknegtt]

What instrument do you play?

[@blipadouzi]

Great tutorial as always, I hope it helps to generate more music in the game. I do have one thing I disagree with, adding something for the player to do it great like you said, but having a coin trail ruins the whole point. Rather than hearing the great music you made, all I heard was bling bling bling from the coin collecting. No real point to making a music level. Also you should have mentioned the creator can make their song longer by making use of the sub-world.

When I open Super Mario Maestro, everything works normally except for some reason the play and stop buttons don’t show up, so I can’t use it at all. If I were to guess, I’d say this only happens on Mac devices. So does anyone know if there’s a solution?

Hey, I’ve followed the instructions, and want to post one of my own levels. Here’s the code: H0H-S36-SNG

[@DIProgan]

I would probably boo that level for having too little gameplay

[@amazingfireboy1848]

How to vote There are 3 main factors to levels: The main idea, the level design, and the progression. If you enjoy any 1 of these, it's a meh. If you enjoy any 2 of these, it's also a meh. If you enjoy all 3, it's a like. If you enjoy 0, it's a boo. Level design could use some work, but the main idea and progression are good. It deserves a meh in my opinion, but I'm usually wrong. Sorry for giving dum advise.

[@Kylin_Phoenix_Vartilo]

Dude, this kind of thing takes actual hours to do correctly and it wouldn't even get a simple button click from a player? I feel like if it's not literal trash and clear effort is put in then it should be rewarded. If I spent 2 hours making the best burger I could and someone's like 'meh, the lettuce could be better' even though everything else is amazing then I'd be pissed.
