"avoid trolling the player" Troll levels can be good, but mark them as troll levels and don't use pick a pipe. Get psychological and make it good. Most people enjoy a well crafted troll level...when they're not playing endless or multiplayer versus as most troll levels break with multiple players

[@frogfan449]

adding small non-lethal trolls to normal levels is also a great way to add a sense of humour and memorability to your level

[@SomeGuyNamedDezecra]

[@someguy4176]

Another way to use thwomps is as a different one way wall, its not that much different from the one way wall but it could be better for castle levels to fit the theme. First, get a thwomp and keep it out of view, use a semisolid or coins to indicate the thwomp. Then get one way walls and place them facing downward at the end of the gap where the thwomp is, this will prevent the thwomp from returning back to its normal position. If done correctly and if i've thought correctly it should stay in place when it falls, depending on the size of it, it will block the way of the player from returning. Pretty sure this will be deemed useless, but it could be a fun way to say make an entrance to a boss arena. If you spotted a mistake that i've made please let me know in the replies.

If the condition set is getting a lot of coins, put coins in pipes to make the level harder (castle theme with platforms that are flat will make a hard level) Edit: surprise thwomps, if used, make sure you use semisolid platforms to warn them.

[@Carbo5]

I didn’t really agree with all of the things he says, however I am not trying to hate on him or be mean in any way. Remember, these are fully my opinions and not boundaries for your level, so just have fun when making a level, as that’s what the game is about! 1. You should never say never, there are uses for lots of the things he says to never do, he should’ve just put should or shouldn’t. 2. For lots of the trolling adjacent tips, I agree you should not use them in normal levels but as he said at the beginning of the video, the level should be based around the gimmick so if a troll is your gimmick, feel free to use those. 3. 7:30 If you’re going to direct the player with coins and have big coins in the same level, try to avoid using too many coins because the player might feel there’s no reason to get the big coins. If you wanted to have the small coins be a reward but the big coins to be the main focus, just add a clear check. 4. 7:38 You shouldn’t always have a pink coin at the top of the key door. As he said earlier in the video, having a piece of what you need at the end is a bit redundant. (this made me kind of mad but not a tip. 10:45 that’s not how you spell buzzy beetle) 5. 12:23 I would suggest adding a bit more substance to the fight than that. Having the fight just be 20 piranha plants (especially with a long timer) can get very unfun very fast, so if there are more piranha plants, make the timer shorter and vice versa. 6. 13:13 The munchers don’t make the enemy invincible, just harder to defeat. there is still a section where you can hit the enemy, so keep that in mind, and use a big muncher instead. 7. 16:43 as long as you only have 3 or so, it can be a fun challenge during a castle themed section of a level, just don’t use too many. 8. 17:52 If the level has a puzzle, this can be beneficial as long as the key is not hiding in a large open area. Just keep the areas where the key is hiding relatively small. 9. 18:23 if the level needs that, it’s fine as long as the platforming section is long enough. 10. 20:31 just make sure the player can’t die easily to the grinders, especially in longer levels. 11. 23:03 Again, it depends on the level. It might not work for say a puzzle level, but for a minecraft or construction worker level, it might help lots! That’s it for me, again these are just my take on the tips and you can make a level however you want!

I actually got like 3 ideas from this video! Thanks!

[@thatawesomeguy13]

I remember making an easy level where at the end it had 3 clear pipes, 1 to death, another to the goal, and the last back to the beginning (remember the level was short and easy). I added this just as a joke and there was a checkpoint so if you died you could just choose again with no big consequences and when you go back to the beginning there is a way to die within 10 seconds.

Rewatching this in 2024 is so disorienting. His voice is visibly higher pitched. 😂

Wow! This is exactly why I love your channel! You did good, and I'm sure to use these tips! Thanks, Odyssey!

[@SpeedRunner33333]

24:20 As long as it's not required for the level, you can put a key directly next to a warp box and make it required, so people can't backtrack and softlock themselves.

The cannons on top of enemies work best with spikes, because they won't throw spike balls, and they automatically face the player.

Thank you so much for this. I have been making Sonic Adventure 2 Themed levels and they don't have much enemies. also its kinda too easy to beat. Thank you so much for teaching me this.

#2 - That advice will not work out well if building a troll level. #4 - If you want music in a specific area, build an 8x8 or 7x7 grid of music effects in there, the music will not blink in or out. #7 - Beside speedruns, most kaizo levels also require constant movement. #11 - A custom auto scroll can be a valuable tool when building a troll level and auto scroll can also serve a purpose in some puzzle levels. #15 - Pretty much only applies to traditional levels. #21 - Precision swimming is an acquired taste, but lots of people, including myself enjoy it. Specifically a spike maze is a little bare bones of a design, but it can work. #25 - Placing enemies in blocks is a good way to have them spawn only once no matter how many times the player resets the area. Very useful for puzzles. #29 - The laugh effect can be a lot of fun when properly used in a troll level. #30 - Coins and one ups are generally bad rewards for challenges since they only mean anything in super worlds and even there its a minimal impact. The best way to reward the player for a challenge are power ups (in traditional level) or time gain (in speedruns). Also, there are a bunch of level genres where optional challenges aren't really a thing. #43 - The whole challenge of a superball setup like that is for the player to figure out where to shoot from. It's simply a timewaster if the solution is given up front. #49 - See my comment on #30. #71 - There are a lot of situations where the muncher shellmet is just added difficulty rather than a perfect helmet to defend against Mario's feet. #82 - The ground pound with the drybones shell is not well known? It's a core mechanic of the powerup. #84 - Magikoopa excavation levels are a full genre (see Super Kamek World). I hate it, but some people enjoy it. Like with any level genre, learn and employ the conventions before releasing a level. #101 - Patched out since the video release unfortunately. Use snake blocks, tracked platforms, claws or boss stacks for global loading. #123 - Something being difficult is not a reason not to include it in the level. As long as the path is indicicated and there are actual obstacles in the way as opposed to just a journey through empty space, go ham. #150 - That's advice specific to traditional levels. In trolls, puzzles, kaizo, precision and even in speedruns you need to be specific about what and when you give to a player to work with.
