Making a Custom Mario Wonder Level - "Melon Meltdown"

[@joshjager5831]

I saw a comment on your other video that noticed the humor of the "water" melon theme becoming fire themed. So I think the wonder effect may have been even more appropriate than you thought!

[@Rimea]

yeah I honestly hadn't thought of the watermelon -> firemelon pun before people in the comments pointed it out

[@jayandjlps]

Also, 16:08 this is a really cool bonus room. It reminds me of something you'd see in Super Mario 3D World

[@Rimea]

maybe because it was specifically inspired by a 3D World bonus room haha

[@JamoTheRobloxian]

@@Rimeathat one room in cookie cogworks I’m guessing

[@cliffy9874]

This was my favorite custom level so far. I really like how you handled the “one-off” mechanics. They still seemed to work with the level and added some extra whimsy! I think I’m going to try and look for ways to add one-off mechanics to my own stuff. Also, that wonder effect is 🔥

[@gtrujfmntrfghmjfesdbhnjmks]

litteraly

[@monarchia4736]

This level is spectacularly designed. Your attention to detail when it came to the talking flowers and balancing out the level (like the thing with getting 3 or 4 1ups regarding the piranha plants on the rolling hill) is unlike any other level designer I've seen thus far. Mad props

[@TheCongressman1]

I'm glad you're continuing to make videos on your custom levels. Your level design is great, I love seeing the process. And your attention to grounding random floating objects doesn't go unappreciated lol

[@PawprintsMaker]

Good job on your custom background! I had no idea! It's so good it looks like it just came straight from the game.

[@WoesOfSlimes]

The level design and themeing reminds me so much of the DK country returns games.

[@rockinggamerdude]

Is it possible to make an entire custom world like a DLC of some kind

[@Rimea]

that's basically what I'm hoping to use these levels for

[@RealSDM2]

@@Rimea he means not a levelpack but an whole new world on the world map

[@Rimea]

@@RealSDM2 I don't think that's clear from their message if so, I believe people have tried and failed to add brand new levels on top of the game's existing level roster, though adding new areas to existing world maps should be possible I think

[@SawBSketch]

These level design videos are so cool! I am more focused on kaizo, but i think these editor lessons/thoughts can be equally utilized with painstaking level design too :P

[@PaulFisher]

I saw the playthrough video the other day and thought it was fantastic-knowing the Making Of makes it even more impressive.

[@STPplayer64]

Hey man I love your videos, I think you do such a good job that you should get hired at Nintendo!

[@Feawfeaw]

This is without doubt your best level yet and the creativity is through the roof, amazing job!

[@krinkles29]

i really like this level. it does feel a lot more in line with the new super mario bros series

[@creblu102]

You are such an amazing level designer!! I cannot WAIT for a mario maker 3!!

[@michaeltabarroni70]

I swear all your levels look official, great job.

[@blastygamez]

U handled this really well good job m8 ur a professional level designer

[@Papyrus-80]

I wonder if you could make a full themed level using underground shining falls. Kinda like you see in some of the sub rooms there.

[@monabrady1004]

Great Job. Now, I’m wondering if a level featuring the Ba-Booms and those rain cloud platforms could be done

[@Rimea]

Babooms and rainy clouds are indeed two mechanics I'm hoping to use in the future, though I don't really see how they could work well together.

[@STPplayer64]

What is a 'Baboom'?

[@rubenvanderark4960]

This is a really well made and well thought out level! Amazing job

[@benjikoopa]

Easily your best level yet (In my opinion at least)

[@crinklyonion1410]

That was a very fun video to watch! I cant wait until fushigi is user friendly enough for me to start using it, because I am no programmer!

[@TheHelderVinicius]

I really like this but I just feel like the normal map on the watermelons could be toned down a little to fit them more in the wonder artstyle, but other than that its amazing!!

[@a_pi_guy]

yesss rimea upload!!! (love your videos)

[@Castawayleaf]

Glad Nintendo is finally letting you make these types of videos again! Keep up the great work! Also I have a level idea for you (What if you made a level with giant Koopa shells you have to walk through, and every shell has a different wave of enemy’s! I think it could be a fun spin on the regular levels, plus it’s an excuse to make custom enemy models!

[@BenjaminCruickshank-uf3wi]

Hey @Rimea the description is wrong. It’s for your Hop Stop Swamp video.

[@Rimea]

somehow I changed the timestamps while forgetting to change the text above haha, thanks for the heads up

[@CryoNoPyro]

This video was simply “new super Mario bros U”ful Wait wrong game

[@RubberCrowy]

I feel like it might've been a cool detail if any bubbleflowers became fireflowers during the wonder effect.

[@Rimea]

that's an interesting idea, though I think the problem players would run into is that the fire flower isn't as effective against fire enemies as the bubble flower in general I prefer keeping a level's main power-up consistent throughout

[@RubberCrowy]

@@Rimea Yeah, I think keeping the power-up consistent is a good idea. I just thought the idea sounded cool. :)

[@currywurst7229]

Dutchman cooking once again ❤

[@Greenpuppyprince]

You Should Make A Sky Level Where You Start At The Bottom But Climb A Really Tall Vine To The Sky Where You Will Dodge Enemies. Collect Power Ups. And Jump A lot. Halfway Through The Level Is A Moving Platform That You Ride Dodge Spinys And After That You Find The Wonder Flower Grab It And Piranha Plants On Parade Start!

[@Boxed64]

you should make a custom wiggler race level!

[@Dirtblokje154]

would love to see a level with that mushroom forest theme from i think the first level of world 5 with the pumpkins

[@ExhaustedWaffle]

Amazing level

[@HungryWarden]

I think you should include secret exits in your future levels. Wonder didn’t do them all that well, so I’d like to see you do better.

[@1_imm_]

Best customs level

[@SolubleParrot9776]

Nicobbq shaking in his boots rn

[@Deadly-Cat-MSM]

dang it I want to play this

[@EpikGuy1]

In the next level make all of the flowers say "so jiggly"

[@Daandar]

Custom models in levels are so cool, does the melon overwrite only the model in this specific level or will all levels that use the rolling balls now have melons?

[@TrilbyTrilby]

Hey Rimea, bit off topic for this sort of video, but would you consider of doing a playthrough of the Super Mario Evolution level pack? I think it would be interesting to hear context and some of the thought process behind some of the levels.

[@Rimea]

I didn't make a single level in that pack actually, though I might still do a playthrough of it some day I suppose

[@ecstaticwooper368]

Holy crap this looks actually incredible. The aesthetics look awesome with everything tying in to the melon theme, the different ways you used the rotating melons were... just absurdly creative, seriously this is better than most official Wonder levels! The almost completely original Wonder effect also blew me away, and I LOVELOVELOVE how you can also play through without it and still have fun. The orbiting Podoboos are also an EXTREMELY cool element, and the fact that you made such an incredible level in Fushigi is just baffling. Seriously amazing work, I can't understate that and god I'm not even halfway through the video :D

[@Erdeppol]

Awesome!

[@jayandjlps]

3:44 I understand what you mean, but also, couldn't you just customize the background manually to accommodate for more vertical gameplay?

[@Rimea]

Yes, if I really wanted to I could've worked around things like the light beams cutting off at the top, but I had conceived of the level as mostly horizontal from the start either way.

[@LMJ_]

Yeah Rimea vidéos !

[@radimkotlan596]

In which program do you edit the textures?

[@Rimea]

Switch Toolbox can open / edit / export the game's 3D models and textures, I then edit the textures using Paint.net before importing them with Switch Toolbox again

[@Gelber_Toad]

Very cool❤

[@byronjuarez5244]

how in the world !!! this is amazing!!!! I'm having more fun watching these levels than the originals. You're next level craft 😮 insane!!!

[@GamerGioYT]

2:31 *AHEM* Can u tutor me 😢

[@nataliehergerdt6571]

do you know about super mario and the rainbow stars?

[@Rimea]

yeah, it's impressive in its own right but also doesn't really interest me personally

[@treecotreeco4898]

I thought the melon texture was from pikmin 3

[@RealTal.]

Just curious, what happened with nintendo? didnt they make you stop making these videos?

[@TheDokiRV2002YT]

Hi

[@rebeccakraut1]

0:37 THEY’RE CALLED MELON SNAPPERS

[@Rimea]

no? they don't call them that during the Direct from a few months before the game came out

[@funnydotyes]

the mario wonder direct literally called the melon piranha plants

[@MoronSky147]

imo the level should be lava themed to fit well with the name and wonder effect
