My First Custom Super Mario Bros. Wonder Level

I spent several days of my life writing a custom Super Mario Bros. Wonder level by hand, and I do mean writing because there is no level editor for the game currently so I wrote the level code by hand.
How I made this: • How I Made a Custom Su...
The level is called "Flip Block Flock" because it uses flip blocks and two types of bird enemies. The design is fine I suppose, I purposefully used simple mechanics to make the process as smooth as I could, but even still there's definitely a lot of stuff I would've done differently if I could mess around with elements more easily.

[@Rimea]

I've gotten a lot of requests to explain how I made this so here's that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH6ZhIylerithKM

[@andrewvanhellstring6672]

For anyone who doesn’t know, making levels in this game is EXTREMELY tedious right now because of the way the ground is placed, which is by utilizing a series of x, y, coordinates. There is no level editor, no animated gui to help guide you. This level is insane. Well done!

[@RadzPrower]

It's tedious now, but once an editor is made that handled those coordinates for you, it'll actually be a lot less tedious than most editors including Mario Maker because all that stuff just gets filled in automatically instead of having to fill everything by hand (unless you've got a fill tool in your editor). For what we have now though, this was a lot of work and very well done. Lot of patience required to build it like things are right now.

[@camohere]

@@RadzPrower It's probably gonna soon be as easy as the NSMB series, since these games are VERY similar.

[@jkljosh7392]

It's still amazing we figured out how the work so fast, I'm sure we'll have an Editor tool in no time

[@Blaineworld]

By that do you mean: - each individual tile is stored alongside its coordinates (dumb) - the tiles are in a big list or - the ground is made of distinct objects with positions and sizes like in super mario world or something else?

[@RadzPrower]

@@Blaineworld You basically draw lines and it just fills in underneath or above it with the fill texture and that's it. Design by drawing shapes instead of with tiles or objects.

[@enigmachish]

Modding the game aside, this is a very very very impressive show of level design. The gameplay integration is extremely creative and clever, and really does emulate Nintendo’s own philosophies

[@lesser_thesecond1198]

I know for a fact they would not approve of this though.

[@hamstersandwich9917]

This is for sure a creative and inspired way if designing level. It combined to mechanics from previous levels and continues to iterate on them with increasing difficulty, it's definite following Nintendos ideals I'm game design

[@Melzy64]

1:35 You know it’s a Rimea level when there’s a midair pipe entrance 😎

[@Rimea]

I was so happy to see there were a few in the vanilla game as well lol

[@bananacreeper290]

it's insane how fast you modded the game. Nintendo blacklist any% speedrun

[@Javier-vi6db]

lmfao

[@hamstersandwich9917]

This aged kinda well unfortunately

[@iHarv_]

Rimea, I'm genuinely blown away by your first custom level for Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Not only are you one of the pioneers in this endeavor, but you've executed it with exceptional skill and creativity. Your level design is on point, with just the right mix of challenges and surprises, making it a joy to play. It's clear that you've put a lot of thought and effort into this project, and your dedication shines through. I'm eagerly anticipating more of your custom levels in the future, and I'm sure the Mario community is too. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@Rimea]

[@perrytheplatypus4620]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Rimea is way too goated at this.

[@blackhole-chan4619]

I'm now convinced that the main reason for Mario Wonder's existence is to be modded. IMAGINE ALL THE POSSIBILITIES

[@CMan185]

there are so many enemies and gimmicks with so much unused potential in this game that if they were used to their full potential we’d have 10 times the levels we have now of course *they’re* gonna mod it

[@myy1008]

[@marshallsnow4474]

I WONDER what people will make 😂😂😂😂

[@fingers422]

This is genuinely fucking outstanding. Less than a week and theres complete custom levels for the game. Wonderful!

[@paul-nj1ig]

It might be also because the game leaked 5 days before release

[@crymoce]

it's honestly amazing how quickly this game has been modded

[@animeluigiboy]

This really feels like a level in the game, that’s how amazing it is.

[@CMan185]

honestly this feels more like an nsmbu level with wonder enemies than a wonder level if you get what i mean

[@emmatorres2944]

[@somerobloxdude3699]

[@jeremyie]

you just, wrote the goddamn level tbh, its quite impressive how quickly understood the level data structure is, but to WRITE all the values without level editing tools and have it work, thats a whole different level good level btw, i wonder if we could get some mario maker shenanigans once we get a proper editor

[@PixelShiftss]

WOW THAT WAS AMAZING! It really felt like an official level! Perfect!

[@glitchy_weasel]

What a fantastic level - aside from the major effort of creating one of the first custom levels, the level design really is pleasing. Can't wait to see what else you and the rest of the modding community can achieve!

[@sbfantom]

I think the most impressive thing about this to me is how perfectly you matched the design sensibilities of the base game. I would 100% believe this is a “real” level and THATS what I want to see out of mods, it’s what I always sought in Maker/Maker2 as well.

[@magius9866]

It's just a matter of time before someone makes a level editor with a real UI now. I bet there already is a team of fans working on it somewhere. This is amazing work

[@Itsjustnotreallyme]

Bro the level design is amazing dude, this could very well be a level in the game. It’s absolutely amazing

[@GamingReinvented]

Damn this is super impressive, especially given how recently the game was released and the sheer tedium involved in making custom levels for the game. Great job with the level, and we're excited to see what the future brings for mods of this game!

[@captainkawaii666]

I can't believe that modding is already happening, even if it's really tedious to make levels rn

[@fallfactorywaffle4659]

Didnt really pay attention to the title, so I thought this was an official level for half of the video. What a good job.

[@TGVBT640]

this game's been out for less than 2 weeks and we already have AMAZING things like this

[@calzoneyed]

I was literally thinking to myself: "Huh, I thought this game looked too easy but this actually looks like a good challenging level" and then whoop de doo I find out it's not in the base game. Still, excited for more modded levels to come

[@blissfulzane715]

0:57 Feels like if you ground pounded again on the 2nd block, the flower would've screamed into the abyss lol Impressive work, Rimea.

[@JARVIS1187]

This level is amazing. Looks like it was designed by Nintendo. No Kaizo stuff or similar things. I bet tons of people would enjoy that!

[@Cooky_LP]

So good, I'm really excited to see what else will be possible

[@Blaineworld]

I love the different enemy designs in this game. They are so cute and silly.

[@waldenbenjamin5393]

This is righteous stuff. The possibilities are endless when it comes to modding this game.

[@Tmaster2590]

It hasn't even been a week since the game got released and already people are modding their own levels, that's crazy bro! 🤯

[@bigsalmon7973]

this is insanely impressive you guys are able to do this kinda stuff even though the game just came out

[@QShinobi]

You made an amazing job in terms of level-design. I just 100%ed the game and I can't wait to mod it and play some of your future levels

[@Gmanrocky]

If i didnt know this was a custom level, i would have thought this was legit. This is fantastic work!

[@elextrodarker2383]

I can't wait to see mods based on that one level with the colored timing blocks that seems to annoy people.

[@MarioFanOnYouTube]

Your level design is always on point, I adore it. This must have been very tedious and long to do, big congrats and even bigger wows.

[@miymoto128]

I'm shocked only a week in of the games release we have custom content! Well done!

[@CoriSnori]

I'm very excited to see what wonder modding can do, there are so many unique mechanics that have so much potential

[@1gnore_me.]

in addition to being a really impressive feat, the level design is also excellent. nice job!

[@mariomythes2807]

That’s a pretty Impressive first custom level

[@zulnoth]

Very cool! Bonus points for being team Green!

[@crep50]

Its only a matter of time before custom wonder events start being made, just saying Unrelated comment aside, well done! Mustve been a pain with the coordinates system and all that

[@nakinaki7282]

If this is this good the Kaizo levels for this game are gonna be crazy

[@anires1195]

i can't wait for a lunar magic of mario wonder

[@al_kaufman]

I will never cease to be amazed at how nintendo made a middle aged, moustachio'd plumber the cutest guy on the planet

[@Fla.C.]

Wow! This is amazing! I can only imagine how hard it must have been.

[@cheEZy_boi_nips]

Hope someone sends this to GPB, this is amazing for how early into the lifespan the game is.

[@Rimea]

He left a comment asking me to make him a kaizo level lol

[@King-Mario]

Wow, that looks really good!

[@KianFloppa]

no mario maker 3? rimea: "no problem ill do it myself"

[@jeremyman6229]

I can still see the NEW super mario bros level design in this but its still a good level. I can't wait for the wonder type of level with same type of craziness as in the vanila smb wonder

[@hotfistVODS]

Man I cannot wait for there to be a solid graphical editor. This engine is so much fun and level editing for this game will be wild. Inversion of platform creating enemies to be platform destroyers is a creative use of those enemies! This legit looks like a fun level.

[@PawprintsMaker]

Awesome level! Looks good, with cool gimmicks and a strict theme. Amazing job!

[@Swushi_Is_Frog]

THIS IS AMAZING! YOU ARE A AWESOME LEVEL CREATOR! Uh hum... sorry, but i love this level more then any other level you made so far.

[@Swushi_Is_Frog]

This level is cool because: Now we modders know that we can re use wonder events which i didn't know before.

[@ZeDLoCs]

This is just so awesome to see

[@johnzhou4877]

WDYM you already made a custom level like how's that even possible????🤯🤯🤯 Istg this got me more confusing than pyramid or shit like that

[@Chrignit]

Dude this must've taken forever! Props to your ridiculously tedious and hard work! Hope to see a level editor someday

[@netboy288]

wow, looks almost as if it came from the game! amazing level

[@skycreeper0173]

That was super awesome! I really enjoyed it!!!

[@dashdestroyer8238]

This is a really well made level. Although, the only nitpick I have for the level is the wonder section, as I feel like it could be a bit longer

[@Whatthetrash]

This is fantastic! Just wow! :D

[@blackstar5867]

This level looks fun

[@karanaima]

It's been like 14 minutes since the game came out and there's already modded levels lmao

[@sethgob5591]

Even ignoring how impressive this, I gotta say, this level design is simply excellent, actually Nintendo level stuff! Do you make Mario Maker courses? I bet you'd be great at it

Yeeeah this should definitely be in the game

yes, that and in my profile picture lol

[@RealFuturePictures]

This is incredibly well done!

[@yukimistay]

i feel like im witnessing history being made

[@WorldLoveGaming]

Great level, though I find it illogical for there to be a Yoshi block holding a powerup when Yoshis can't use powerups. But I'm not a modder in this area so idk if it's a technical limitation or not.

[@Rimea]

oh I didn't really think that one through lol

[@Swushi_Is_Frog]

@WorldLoveGaming i was thinking the same... only to see the answer of rimea saying: - i didn't really think that one though... and let me say that nor would i think about that if i would be modding

[@Arulo.]

Wow thats awesome

[@in-consistent]

you should add 'bah bah' to smb wonder

[@menemy4700]

Blewbird and flipblock make such an interesting reaction! Does this reaction never appears in the origin game?

[@Rimea]

yeah the blewbird / flip block thing is something I discovered myself

One day they'll be a Luna Magic and we'll have kaizo ROM hacks like Super Mario World.

Bruh how it’s only been a week since launch

Incredible! I see there is a Discord for NSBW and U modding; is there one for Wonder? I haven't seen one, but maybe it is for the best since Nintendo has been more aggressive towards modding as of this week.

[@Rimea]

there is a Wonder modding server, I should probably add it to the description: discord.gg/jBtBW22xuu

[@bringobrongo]

@@Rimea Thank you!

[@TheCoolChocolate_Official]

It’d be pretty neat to see a custom level utilizing AI for the talking flowers

[@Rimea]

I believe some people have already generated new voicelines for the talking flowers using AI, though honestly if I were to ever make a big mod for the game I'd prefer getting a different voice actor to voice a brand new set of voicelines

[@bes03c]

This could easily pass for an official level.

[@perryakers4222]

They'd better make a smbw style for mario maker 3
