Honestly, I appreciate the sample courses because they were meant to provide inspiration by not being complete. They show you the semblance of an idea and then invite you to continue that idea on your own. However, they don’t really show you how to make a _cohesive_ level, which SMM2 does a much better job at.

Looking back, the Super Mario Challenge in the 3DS version was WAY better than the Sample Courses from the Wii U version. Some of the mediocre concepts they had back in the Sample Courses were expanded upon in the Super Mario Challenge, including some unique levels. The best part of the Super Mario Challenge was the Bonus Medals you could collect. Some of those medals were really challenging to collect and it makes me wish we could apply these Bonus Medals to our own levels in the Mario Maker games. Maybe in Super Mario Maker 3 if it happens?

[@saku9177]

2:27 I genuinely don't understand why refreshing levels got so popular,that and the same copy pasted platform levels kinda ruined the popular tab

my best guess is that Nintendo wanted you to feel inspired so they tried to simplify there levels so the kids didn't feel intimidated.

You should rank every level in the Super Mario Challenge in Super Mario Maker for 3DS. It's quite similar to this but the levels are much better/longer/more interesting, with some of them being improved ports of these levels. They even have medals in them that reward you for beeting certain challenges in them like defeating all of one enemy or not pressing a certain button. I think you would have a lot of fun ranking them.

Sunken Mario is actually one of the levels that appeared in the 3DS version’s Super Mario Challenge. There were little rings of coins that indicated hidden blocks with stars in them, and one of the challenges required you to continuously stay in the star power form in order to kill enough goombas to get 5 one ups. The whole existence of the 3DS version is a crime they did that game terrible, but they did make the developer levels better. They did reuse some of the levels from the wii u version, but the special missions they added made them a lot more playable.

Ok now rank all the 3DS ones- OK I was gonna make this a ha-ha joke, but after thinking about it for a bit this could actually be a really cool video idea. This is because they reused a lot of levels from the original Mario maker template stuff, but remade them into actual real levels. Heck, in the game’s story mode, there are actually side missions you can do. (for example, in the 1-1 remix, there’s now a hidden Bowser JR boss fight, and you’ll get a cool medallion for winning the fight) None the less, this would be a cool video idea.

I think you're a bit harsh on a lot of these levels. Outside of the Nintendo World Championship Levels, these levels aren't about playing them/beating them in of themselves. They're about teaching the player how things work and they go from very simple, because little kids play the game, to a bit more advanced. They all do a great job, even if the lesson was "hey you can make pixel art" or "hey, springs bounce on each other". Even the lesson of remaking official courses is great because I've seen some amazing remakes of official courses (they're drowned out by 1-1 but that isn't the lesson's fault that the students don't want to branch out). The NWC levels were meant to be played and beaten as a sort of a challenge and should be judged differently. A lot of these just fall flat because they either have bad design (blind jumps) or incoherent design.

[@AzXDXD]

Once upon a time in the vibrant city of Gameropolis, there lived a man named Odyssey Central. With his dashing looks and keen mind, Odyssey was not just a passionate gamer, but also an aspiring game developer. His love for video games knew no bounds, and among his favorites was the beloved title, Mario Odyssey. When Mario Odyssey was first released, Odyssey Central was swept away by its charm and innovation. He spent countless hours exploring its imaginative worlds, solving puzzles, and rescuing Princess Peach from the clutches of Bowser. His love for the game extended beyond mere enjoyment; it sparked a flame of inspiration within him. Determined to contribute to the gaming world that had captured his heart, Odyssey Central devoted himself to honing his skills as a game developer. He studied programming, game design, and storytelling, all with the dream of one day creating games that would inspire others, much like Mario Odyssey had inspired him. Years passed, and Odyssey Central's dedication paid off. He caught the attention of Nintendo with his impressive portfolio and unwavering passion for gaming. When the time came to develop a sequel to Mario Odyssey, Odyssey Central was offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the development team. Ecstatic and honored, Odyssey Central eagerly accepted the offer, ready to pour his heart and soul into the creation of Super Mario Odyssey 2. Alongside seasoned developers and fellow enthusiasts, he contributed his ideas, expertise, and creativity to every aspect of the game's development. Together, they crafted new worlds brimming with wonder and excitement, designed inventive gameplay mechanics, and breathed life into captivating characters. Odyssey Central's love for Mario Odyssey infused every pixel of Super Mario Odyssey 2, making it a worthy successor to the beloved original. When the day finally arrived for the game's release, Odyssey Central felt a mix of nervousness and exhilaration. As he watched players around the world embark on their own adventures in Super Mario Odyssey 2, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and fulfillment. In the end, Odyssey Central's journey had come full circle. From being a devoted fan of Mario Odyssey to becoming an integral part of its sequel's development, he had lived his dream and left his mark on the world of gaming. And as he looked to the future, he knew that his love for games would continue to inspire him to reach even greater heights.

please do the 3ds version too, my case: 1) it expands on almost every sample course and makes them better (both in length, challange, being interesting and tutorialising the assets) 2) it makes levels like 1-1 interesting by adding achievements, that are not only fun and challanging, doing them rewards you by being able to edit those levels 3) the story mode makes up for the lack of online functionality and basically makes it a 2D Mario game with a level editor 4) it has original levels of it's own 5) it has the best "story mode" of the trilogy imo because it doesn't have story exclusive items, it does a good job tutorialising assets and it gives you a reason to buy it even if you don't have online 6) the game is underrated and deserves more regognision

I went through those levels before actually diving into my own levels in Mario Maker 2, and while they were really fun, they used mechanics that weren't available to creators, like carrying heavy blocks and escorting Toads. It got me excited to use mechanics that I found out later just weren't in the game, and personally I find that shows kind of a lack of creativity, to have to break the rules of your own game about endless creativity in order to make enough levels for your story mode.
