This Popular Level HAD A DEV ROUTE?

[@MythicTF2]

Honestly, I wouldn't even call that a dev route. It felt more like a "secret exit" type of thing from other mario games.

[@pixelartkid7965]

Yeah.

[@NinjaNezumi]

I agree. I mean that was the draw of Mario - Alternate Paths and Warp Zones. Those things were NOT common back in the day, so everyone was looking for cool stuff like that. Dev Routs are literally just "I'm a developer and I'm just seeing if the level loads up and ends properly. I don't care about anything else."

[@xwtek3505]

@@NinjaNezumi There is another purpose of dev exit: If the game actually involves death as mechanics, like kill mario type of levels

[@MichaelPianoYT]

Do you not understand the concept of "clickbait KZbin title" ??

[@namenotfound8186]

I actually question why Nintendo didn't add secret exits for super worlds. Same for star coins, it would've made super worlds 10x better.

[@AmberSkitty3]

I wouldn't really call that a dev route, it honestly felt like a more "do this difficult trick and get rewarded" you manage to get by without hitting the on/off? you get to skip the second half

[@UltraDumbass1782]

Yeah, I agree. Normal dev routes have a pipe/door and that’s it, whereas that one actually had some effort.

[@LucianDevine]

I don't mind the dev route on that level, because it was fairly out in the open. You see the red blocks below the pipe when you did it the intended way, giving you a hint that it's there, not to mention the clear check time.

[@JonLipton]

It feels more like a secret shortcut rather than a dev route. Like in a classic game there would be a key and keyhole there with a secret exit

[@LucianDevine]

@@JonLipton Exactly. Old school Super Mario World. Find the key to get the secret exit to reach one of the big colored button things that turn on certain special blocks that are normally just dotted lines.

11:16 the first level by The P King was made for 7h0m, the second by 7h0m. So I guess the 7 is a thing from 7h0m

[@Pharthrax]

16 milliseconds is sixteen thousandths of a second, also known as completely unreactable. The average human reaction time is like 150-200ms IIRC.

[@AdmiralTails]

For some extra reference, 16 milliseconds is almost exactly 1 frame at 60fps.

[@bradlasalle2888]

150ms is like the lowermost limit possible, most humans on average are multiple times that, even when concentrating

[@silafim]

he meant 16 frames probably

[@Acts19quiz]

It's also possible he meant 16 centiseconds, or meant 160 milliseconds but said 16 instead. Centisecond isn't a common term, and getting the decimal place wrong in milliseconds isn't an unusual error. Just watch The Price Is Right and the number of contestants that want to bid twenty-five thousand on a Showcase, but say "Twenty-five hundred" instead.

Seems more like a fun secret route rather than a dev route. It was made obvious with the switch blocks, that's a like in my opinion.

Sometimes I wonder what my opinion of refreshing levels would be if I hadn’t watched panga and his passionate hatred for them before I ever even bought Mario Maker

[@TheMDCXVII]

Since they are always the same, maybe you would have loved the first one, liked the second to tenth one and disliked (maybe not hated like Panga) the rest.

[@SenkoVT]

@@TheMDCXVII i think u can make challenging refreshing levels that make it unlikely for the player to die and that would be enjoyable.

[@tom-sn4gd]

I never liked "refreshing" level, because of the way they are all the same and they are just "hey, this level make your switch lag". I discoverd Panga recently and I am happy to see that there are other people against refreshing level.

[@adamnielson42]

Part of the reason I dislike them so much is because I compare them to auto levels. Neither require any skill to beat, but there is an art to creating (good) auto levels. I don't see any skill required in making refreshing levels. Edit: a counter point you could bring up is that art isn't based on how much effort is put into it, it's based on the emotions it gives you. That's why there's nothing wrong with liking modern art.

[@SenkoVT]

@@adamnielson42 why do you think that? u can do a Claw parkour without the player dying if he falls down, give enough power ups to add some shell jumps ... u can be creative without making the player die. just a quick level with some creative jumps that dont kill you and it doesnt feel like the win was handed to you

@PangaeaPanga: I did used a mechanic like that in the pass in a level that I made for Super mario maker WiiU only one section used the toss-up mechanic, I do not remember if I saw a level with just toss-up mechanic in the WiiU version, and my level back at the WiiU was not tossing a goomba, and the level with just a small section with that was called infinity check point, unfortuantly I can't remake this level in Super Mario maker 2 since they are mechanic that are missing so it would not be as good if I do. And the begining saying toss was pointless but it was a good concept toss mechanic only, however the replay value is 0, since you can get easily board with it, so for me I would not have like it, but I would not have Boo it neither.

A "refreshing level" is a trend of levels that flood the popular levels leaderboard. They are similar to auto levels and are meant to be aesthetically pleasing. This trend has been around for a while now and many dislike them because they are all the same and lack creativity.

That's usually when you cause a lot of destruction in a short amount of time, kill a spam of enemies fast, usually with many effects as well, and the whole concept of the level or section is just based on that.
