Mario Maker 2 Rejected Updates #24: A Plethora of Poor Propositions

The series that will probably eventually die but hasn't yet! More great terrible ideas from all the wonderful commenters

[@arbe4326]

Negative coins: If you recollect them you lose coins. Since collecting 100 regular coins give you a life, when these coins make the coin counter go below zero, they cost you a life.

[@RaceBandit]

Oh hey, the Rupoor. This unironically sounds like it could make for a neat coin count puzzle...

[@WhyWithY]

Good idea

[@ProPGOfficial]

What if you have 1 life and you get -1 negative coins?

[@matthewmcmullan4832]

You stole my idea (this is a joke)

[@hjag-is-also-ourplebop]

If you set your character to Luigi and do absolutely nothing for most of the length of the level timer, when the timer reaches 2 seconds, you're automatically teleported to the goal.

[@nobel-obailey-taylor1569]

If you have OP power-ups you should have OP enemies

[@NickizWild]

Kind of like an op bowser

[@theopoldthegamer4284]

Example: OP swamps is that can break anything even ground

[@alexhakimipour2559]

I want an OP Goomba who explodes your cartridge in real life if you stomp it

[@arttukettunen5757]

Idea: Isaac Newton. If you add him to your level, he will invent gravity. Then when you encounter him in the level, absolutely everything will start falling down, and even flying powerups stop working because they can't realistically lift that much or work like that.

[@theleaningtowerofpizza0000]

It happens in every level after you encounter him EVEN if you factory reset your switch plus the airship theme doesn't even spawn

[@MrSwag-zv3pg]

and if you kill him, everything starts floating away!

Idea: Introducing Snake Chain Chomps. If you thought that the attack pattern if regular Chain Chomps was too predictable, this enemy is for you! The best part is, players will have no way of knowing how long the Chomp's chain will extend or what whacky pattern the maker has set for it! How fun!

[@naomi9918]

Bouncy thwomp: Once it hits the ground, it bounces up to its original height and comes back down again forever. It's like a thwomp, but quicker

Rejected: The Ripply Coin: It makes the screen ripply when you collect it. You can adjust the speed of the ripple (negative values makes it go inwards), as well as amplitude and frequency, and the center of the ripple as well.

[@emerald773sstudio2]

Garlic Clove- you may think that it would transform you like the sword, but for Wario, but it actually just makes enemies run away from Mario's bad breath.

[@dancheasal4298]

For more punctuation, how about the interrobang block It makes blocks like an exclamation block but you can set them to have things inside

[@RaceBandit]

Suddenly, an army!

[@lolliii5477]

what about this: ~

[@WildWaker]

Realistic: The cat bell turns you into a cat, but that's not realistic. Now, Mario just attaches it to his overalls and it does nothing except jingle sometimes.

[@dodobee9275]

The negative speed block, this is basically the dash block but it sends you backwards and looks identical to a normal dash block so you won't even know the difference until you step on one (would be cool if you made it so mario goes through a pipe after stepping on one of these and he has to start a little timmy level all over again)

[@777omen]

Idea : I really liked the Ellipsis block, so I'm going to ask for the @ block. When you hit it, it "notifies" every enemy and item on screen. Then they all disappear and comes out of the block.

[@nidiasg5280]

I would like to see a period block which ends Mario’s run because it ends sentences.

since everyone loved the ... block, were adding the ; block! this block does nothing, but if there isn't exactly one of it in your level then the game will crash when the level loads. this effect retroactively applies to every past level as well

[@theopoldthegamer4284]

If you hit the Ellipsis block, and its timer is still ticking when you beat the level, it'll say "to be continued" and then randomly pop up in the next level

lmao

[@PicklesLiquidandFunk]

XD YES

[@jdh9419]

1:43 Yup, this Banzai Bill is DEFINITELY aiming for Yoshi

[@hioman]

Semicolon block: It takes the entire level from the right and moves it 1 space to the left. Have fun accidentally crushing yourself when they're being activated by spikeballs

[@RaceBandit]

I had the feeling the ellipsis block would herald other punctuation blocks like this...

[@renakunisaki]

Hitting it makes the game crash because the code is now missing a semicolon.

[@tensixtyoclock]

Lap 2: At the end of each level there will be a spaghetti portal that takes you back to the beginning and starts "Lap 2 mode." In lap 2, you have one minute to finish the level, otherwise your entire console will explode. Yes it's the pizza tower thing.

[@jariussmith6688]

The Goomba flower- instead of fireballs you throw out goombas which can still hurt you

[@ProPGOfficial]

Rejected Update idea: Every 50-100 seconds, a random event will begin and affect the level in a huge way! Bowser will roar to indicate that a random event is occurring. All random events and what they do... Little Timmy Mode: Enemies will start falling from the sky and immediately attack you! "WHOA! Enemies are falling from the sky! What has Little Timmy done now?" Immediate Winner: You immediately get teleported to the goal and beat the level immediately! "Congratulations! You are an immediate winner of this level!" Immediate Death: When this happens, there is a 50/50 chance that all the enemies will despawn from the level, or you'll immediately die! "Sudden Death Mode activated! Who will be taken out now?" 3 FPS Mode: The game runs extremely slow for about 30-95 seconds!

Rejected Update Idea: Chuckya’s! Since most people forgot about these guys after Super Mario 64, we are letting them have another turn in the spotlight! They just walk back and forth, but if they bump into anything, that thing’s going flying! Bumps into a Goomba? Thrown off screen! Bumps into Mario? Might as well just press restart! Bumps into a wall? That entire stage is going straight to the stars! I’m sure everyone will find this enemy to be a fun challenge!

The % block: It will give you a percentage of whatever was put in there. So a mushroom will have the same effect, but only a percent of the original ability.

Idea: The Flag Flower, when an enemy is shot with a projectile, they turn into an ending flag, this makes beating the levels way easier!

[@maxthompson7107]

The Infinite Coin can actually be very interesting. If you tolerate the noise it makes through the whole level, you're awarded with 3 lives. Plus, you're able to use the infinite coin as a clear condition, similar to the 100 coins.

[@kales901]

and never beat the level😈

[@SuperStarStudiosPlush]

Rejected Update Idea: Mario Movie Game Style! That’s right, to celebrate the well loved Mario Movie release, we are adding a Game Style based on it! This means most of the characters are humans, the Goombas are horrifically realistic humanoid creatures, and Bowser has a de-evolution ray to blast everyone! What, did you think we were gonna use the weird Illumination one? No way! It’s completely unrealistic! We are going with the much better 1993 release! You’re welcome!

[@TannoryWhale]

Rejected Update Idea: The Graphics Block, each time you hit it the graphics get a bit worse or they get a bit better, who knows? (probably the course creator who set the starting graphics level)

[@SuperStarStudiosPlush]

Rejected Update Idea: Ultimate Reset Rocket! We at Nintendo have been noticing how realistic our competitors are getting! I mean, just look at the PS5 graphics! This is why we have real rockets prepared to blow anyone who uses the Reset Rocket to smithereens! Enjoy the sensation of going up in flames every time a course is erased!

[@dyx2011]

Since Burners can burn up to 3 blocks, you should add Long burners. So the editor can select how far the burner can burn and you will see how much fun you will have. Voila! Much more easier to make Little Timmy Levels.

Idea: A block that when you hit, will cause an electric shock so hard even your Switch will shock to death!

[@legokermitthefrog]

Since there's a link sword that runs you into link, there should be a toad mushroom, it turns you into captian toad, you can do things like walk, have a look like a toad, and not be able to jump!

Suggestion: Period Blocks. They disguise as Question Mark Blocks, so you never know which one is which, and if you hit one, the level automatically softlocks because periods end sentences so the period block ends your run. You also can’t access the pause menu, and the home button is disabled

[@jdh9419]

Animation: When you hit the Period Block (disguised as a ? Block), the top part falls off, leaving just the dot (.), it then incases you in ground blocks so nothing can break you free. Oh, and also, during this period, you get frozen, and pause and home don’t work

Hidden warp blocks: Like a hidden block, but a warp block! If you touch it from any side then it activates and takes you to it’s connected hidden warp block. Want to make an ordinary jump completely impossible? Just add a line of these blocking the way! Little Timmy will love this one!

[@ethanhennessey6419]

Skolar: Summons a star storm that attacks all enemies on screen for 5 sec. Muskular: Makes enemies chill out by making there speed 3X slower for 5 sec. Misstar: Heals Mario by giving him a smooch & gets a special power up, depending on the game style your in. Klevar: Pauses time with a time out, just like the clock in SMB2, but for 10 sec. Kalmar: Uses up & away to turn enemies into coins like in SMW, but for 10 sec. Star Beam: Collecting all Star Spirits turns Mario invincible forever + a special power up is added to it.
