The odd thing about Ryukahr is that I tend to always watch him for a while, eventually lose interest for some time, and then come back again with much interest in his content. He has the influence to keep me coming back like that and I believe that’s a sign of a great content creator.

It’s rare that you see a level like “Koopas Are Key” that has clear talent behind it and the creator’s intentions were good (non troll level), but is at the same time so poorly designed and executed. Unless the goal was to make an unfair and unfun level that breaks constantly, in which case bravo!

[@galacticdiamondz6425]

I admire this comment. Thank you so much. And yes I was a very bad level designer when I was younger but I put many hours of effort into that level to make the contraptions and level work. It’s just unfortunate that the second section had issues with the p-switch. I couldn’t believe that and I felt terrible! Though the ending was brutal, it was purely meant to add some challenge to the level. The mushroom requirement wasn’t blind either as I made sure you could see that, but the third block was a bit unfair and I should have indicated that. (Back then I didn’t know any better) Thank you again for the awesome feedback!!

[@galacticdiamondz6425]

I was hoping it would be fun 🤣 but yes it was also meant to be a little unfair if you missed out on the mushroom etc. so it’s. A bit of all of the above.

[@yuki_dawn]

I actually think that Koopa's are Key level was pretty cool. Looked ridiculously hard, like there's no way I'd be able to complete it, but when the mechanics weren't being jank and the puzzle pieces connected correctly; it was a well thought out level with a consistent theme and gimmick. For Mario Maker 1 standards; that's one of the coolest levels I've seen!

[@galacticdiamondz6425]

Reading this has made me incredibly happy. Thank you so much for your comments on my level. I put a lot of hours into that and even made myself upset a few times while playing it. I wanted it to be impossibly hard for someone like me just so it could be a challenge to someone like Ryu without it being trash. My contraptions not working correctly though was a real stomach punch. I was very disappointed about the second coin section messing up with the p-switch.

@GalActic DiaMondz Yeah. I could tell thought was put into the level, i.e. it wasn't hot garbage or anything. But the Rube Goldberg contraptions do take some edge case testing to weed out issues, and the unfortunate thing for you is that it's SMM1 and you can't really update or do anything anymore, so what's there gets judge for what it is with no future body of work to show where you are now as a level creator. :( Given it's your level, you probably got quite the surprise when you saw Ryu played it, and probably went video hunting!

Pretty sure that one bit in Koopas Are Key called for hitting the switch and kicking the shell across the conveyors. The spring would bring it to the second level to hit the block and let out the bomb, and you could even throw it while the switch was inactive to grab the pink coin without sticking yourself in a saw. Not sure why you chose the hardest possible way to cheese through it. :P

[@galacticdiamondz6425]

He chose the hardest possible way to cheese it because I tried very very hard to make it cheese proof when I made it. The solution was to guide the p switch through the conveyers and then letting the red koopa step on it. Because nothing else would have worked properly if I recall correctly. So then the bomb can walk into its place freely and be activated. The shell that you got back from section two was used for the clown car in section 3. It was a huge 2 part contraption gone a little bit Wrong.

That is definitely not how you're supposed to do it. For the big shell contraption, I'm pretty sure that what you're supposed to do is throw the spring up, put the small shell in the car, then when the bomb explodes the spring puts the big shell up on the tracks above, and then it makes its way down and you dodge it by hitting the p switch and collecting the coin. It doesn't really look like that's possible though... either way, it's janky as heck.
