9 Amazingly Useful Contraptions in Super Mario Maker 2

[@matthewcartermusic]

Thanks for these! I used the Global Lag Detector in a level, worked great!

[@sparkrm]

you’re welcome :)

[@matthewcartermusic]

@@sparkrm level ID: BX3-CWV-4NG and another using your left/right detector here: V0R-2WC-5SG

[@whizkid0521]

Thanks so much for making this!! I’ll definitely be using some of these in my levels!

[@sparkrm]

awesome!!

[@MadAliceInWonderland]

Thank you so much! I had an idea for my next level but wasn't sure how I'd pull it off without the mechanic being janky. This helped a lot.

[@sparkrm]

you’re welcome

[@diamondmemer9754]

@@sparkrm how can you hide contraptions in this game? I see many levels with offscreen mechanisms but mine never work unless they're onscreen

[@SIimyGoblin]

​@@diamondmemer9754i know its late, but enemies only spawn a few blocks offscreen, not far away.

[@savxlandon5558]

I used the global screen shaker in one of my lite kaizos ID is CLS-39S-S0H spark you are a smm2 legend thank you so much for the inspiration

[@creepercatgaming7733]

The previous direction detection machine that I tried didn't work, so when I watched this and tried making the direction detection machine in this video and realized that this one worked I was shocked, so thank you! The only problem is how annoying the note block sound is but still. Thanks!

[@sparkrm]

i'm glad i could help :)

[@XBC30]

Thank You So Much Spark! I Need These Contraptions :)

[@sparkrm]

you're welcome! i love these types of videos

[@theflameviper2154]

These are INCREDIBLY useful, thank you!

[@dia_exclamation_point]

I made an on off switch activated stun lock without the fire. The Bowser junior has to be offscreen. Upon hitting a switch, the blasters push bj into a contraption with one note block at the bottom and 2 springs either side of him 3 blocks up from the note blocks.

[@sparkrm]

cool contraption :)

[@SomeoneWeird-vx5jx]

I need more of these!!!

[@sparkrm]

same!

[@Doffu]

The direction detection one breaks pretty easily if you switch directions fast. Do you know of any fixes because I think it would be useful if it wasn’t so prone to breaking.

[@sparkrm]

the one i made in this video worked really well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHa2ZmCtapeXh7c

[@Damariobros]

Is there a lag detector that can be used just for a specific area, and that can trigger a note block instead of an on-off switch? I want to use one to have power-ups come into my anti-softlock when you take damage for the first time, and I can't use on/off switches because that's already occupied to make it so that bumpers come into the area but only when you fall for the CP1 troll and get thrown into the anti and it can't be global because I don't want it interfering with other parts of the level

[@sparkrm]

probably, i'd have to look back through my videos though

[@alfinprathama8219]

I have a question. How to make the offscreen key contraption: after the keydeath and during the survival? I want to make a mini boss fight survival

[@sparkrm]

umm i forget, i'll look it up

[@super_z6353]

J8B-3BB-BNF (SMM2 Magic) I made a level using the Global Lag detector

[@leoburgermanstudios3204]

Just wondering, does the lag detector work in VS mode? I want to know for so I can detect when all but one player dies.

[@sparkrm]

this isn’t dependent on latency based lag, it’s the lag you see in the game that happens when you get a power up or take damage

[@leoburgermanstudios3204]

@@sparkrm LOL yeah I know it works perfectly for damage and power ups. But I’m wondering that since the game doesn’t pause when you take damage or die in VS I’m wondering if it will still detect it. If you don’t know it’s okay 😉

[@OkyshoNath]

amazing video thanks a lot :)

[@sparkrm]

yw :)

[@WyattW_]

7:05 Does this work off screen?

[@sparkrm]

no idea, try it out

[@edilbertleyson]

I have a machine only using 2 blocks! Its called the AFK detector, put a spike trap at the height of the starting platform, 3 blocks to the right, and 1 block upwards place a winged trampoline, the player will AFK next to the spike trap and the winged trampoline will push the player at the left-most part then send you to the spike trap, if the player is not AFK he/she can just jump on the winged spring then jump or wait for it to be gone and jump.

[@sparkrm]

niceee

[@red_infinitystone]

How did you make the claws refill their power up supply tho?

[@sparkrm]

you can learn how in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZzMnGZpeauYldE

Hey Spark the last contraption I designed one that has the same idea but it's not designed like that. It's also global. But yours is slightly different

[@sparkrm]

that's pretty sweet

[@manperson5365]

What’s the contraption where you kill a boss and another one spawns?

[@sparkrm]

hmm, youd have to max the entity limit, and then when a boss dies another enemy spawns from a pipe and hits an on-off switch that releases another boss

[@Robin1up84]

I wish there was a contraption which activates an on off switch when you defeat a particular boss or enemy.

[@rasmillion]

Fun stuff Worth a sub for sure

[@Mickeyink]

I clipped through an icicle in multiplayer and what's cool is probably not a glitch but what seems like one but dust still moves even though nothing is moving but dust from the player. also when i said lag messes with hitboxes i meant while a match i was in i nearly died and long jumped onto the flagpole in a glitch level for a hyperspeed setup. also i used a flagpole and a slope to clip through cannons as big toad.

[@sparkrm]

nice!

[@ricardoortiz4870]

0:31 the boo gets a little janky, help me.

[@L1M.L4M]

I'm gonna make a gimmick level about the Direction Detector in SMB1, you cant turn mid-air, unless you shoot a fireball

[@nerdboy628]

8:45 You used a black hole to spawn those powerups didn't you?

[@sparkrm]

yep, sure did

[@merlijnnelis]

Can you also make a detector that openes a path once you defeated a koopaling?

[@sparkrm]

i don't think so, the closest thing would be giving it a key

[@merlijnnelis]

@@sparkrm Ah okay, I could've expect that. Thanks anyways! :)

[@sparkrm]

no problem :)

[@theladiescallmesona]

Entity limit, when koopaling gone, enemy spawns and activates and on off switch. Boom

Put vines in the blocks, then force a door entry. It’ll reset the blocks.

Contraption 6 works in smb3 too. It also technically works with the link costume in smb1, but it either doesn’t crush you, or it kills you.

[@sparkrm]

yes, exactly, probably works in all styles, you just need the note block to get hit by something
