-------------------------------
Smacking Snowballs
Luigi must use his shelmet covered head to carefully bounce the snowball into the switch. Once he hits the on-off, a two-state block appears under the door, allowing him to move on.
Color Correction
To play this game, Luigi must select the color that does not match from the lineup. Sometimes it can be obvious, other times it can be very subtle! If he picks correctly, he can move on to the next test but wrong answers result in a restart.
P-switch Protection
This tower defense idea requires speed and strategy to beat. Luigi enters a room wearing his trusty spiked helmet, just to see hordes of enemies approaching. The only way to stop them is to jump and poke them with his head while surviving.
Glorious Galoomball
Luigi must practice his galoomba throwing skills to perfectly place these round creatures into areas that open up the next room.
Pokey Pinball
The object of this game is to destroy all 31 pokeys in their entirety within the time limit. A 100 second timer and clear condition require Luigi to work quickly and accurately.
Tricky Timing
The game setup has an arena on the right side with Luigi in the control room on the left. As Boom Boom falls, Luigi has one chance to hit an on-off switch to destroy Boom Boom.
Frogger Fiasco
The object of this game is to jump through bridges to get up to the exit door for each room before getting hit by any enemies. He must take into account the speed of each enemy and use careful timing to sneak by them.
Movement Mystery
This course is built around watching a bill blaster move and deciding which hidden enemy must be causing the motion. Some can be very simple, while others get more complicated.
Yum for Yoshi
This course uses blocks to create a Yoshi and places Luigi inside. Luigi must control Yoshi's tongue with an on-off switch to consume the delicious enemies that get too close to his mouth.
Crossbow Clarity
In this crossbow training minigame, Link must quickly get as many coins as possible in each area. If he is too slow, two-state blocks will prevent him from gathering any more coins and he is forced to move on to the next area.

This is genuinely a Ceave-quality video. Incredible that you don't have 100k subs. Keep going, you'll get big soon!

[@hairje1340]

Making videos like this is surprisingly simple you just have to *20 minutes later* and then your done.

Dang, looks like Buzzy Beetle shellmets are a hard counter to snowballs in the NSMBU Snow metagame

[@Crobert24]

Your channel is progressing step after step and it grow more, good job my dude, I liked the bouncing Ice ball mini-game and the p-switch protection mini-game

[@Barrysun]

I'm definitely going have some fun with new tower levels with these level ideas.

[@hydra6035]

I can never think of levels so I watch you to get amazing ideas!

[@Suspressable]

Fun Fact: The 7th Level (Crossy Mario) Is Based Off A Game Called Crossy Road. I’m Pretty Sure It’s One Of The Older Mobile Games, Don’t Ask How I Know.

[@soulplayrt463]

Pretty fantastic ideas, I am definitely going to see if I can impliment mini games into my super World

[@marycoleman8659]

Wow! I've NEVER thought of that!

[@sharondavenport4959]

[@jorgemendez4891]

Thank you 🙏, I was making an Arcade level and ran out of ideas.

[@louialigon6747]

Wow ! Well done ArrowStole, that’s a very interesting video idea !!!

[@winnersduplicate554]

#6 is when Luigi eats too many mushrooms, and thinks that he’s holding a camera when he’s actually holding a gun.

[@sb_bacon]

I've seen this idea utilised on a different level Duck hunt anyone hmmmm

[@TyPlayz36]

Wow really cool Creative ideas

0:36 poor nice block

[@jdh9419]

3:55 And also so that he can actually grab the galoomba

[@DownWithBureaucracy]

As someone who plays levels more than making them, I love these ideas! Edit: I started checking out these makers. IT IS WORTH YOUR TIME

[@los-lobos]

My favourite is 6:08

[@DonWafle]

Question: How can I use your ideas? can i borrow completly or take some ideas and mecanics on my levels? Thx, your content it´s awesome, recently suscribed

[@Hatimax1]

Amazing video yet underrated

[@lordroy88]

Awesome content! Though I shouldn’t be suprised! Your videos are creative!

[@supermaximglitchy1]

do some daredevil idea’s for SMM2

[@MarbleNonsense]

So that's why the color look VERY different. Thx!

[@izzy-artmusicvlogs1234]

How come you only have 17.1K subscribers? This is a masterpiece. Especially the color one

[@utubeiskaren7796]

“After hearing about Bowser Jr.’s traumatic past with snowballs, Luigi wanted to use them as the ultimate weapon” was a sentence I never thought I would’ve heard

[@parke6704]

Theses are so creative

[@iamfrisk3606]

tip, instead of using shellmets, you can use a spike ball to activate a question block where the koopa is on the a sideway spring in the question block

[@mr.big4head758]

I’ve been having some issues making levels and level ideas, and this video helped me. Thank you. Also, can I make one of these levels, but give credit to you in the description of the level?

[@Arrowstotle]

Use as many ideas as you want - no credit needed!

[@mr.big4head758]

Arrowstotle wow, thanks man. You’re amazing and super underrated

[@moonlord2802]

Its so sad your so underrated your videos are so high quality!

[@Housestationlive]

pretty sure there is much more than 10 possibilities to make creative stuff. like per example, an arkanoid or tetris remake xD

[@charliewarly2179]

Question for the tower defense one how do you make the special enemy with the key appear after a while

[@SamuelPlaysGames]

This video is incredible

[@chondontore]

I've played a level in endless that was Shy Guy Says from Mario party. Two state blocks in the shape of an arrow (indicating which direction to move) were hidden behind bullet bill launchers and were revealed only moments before Mario gets crushed.

[@Arrowstotle]

That sounds really cool! I’d love to play that at some point

[@Knightly_Mapping]

I love using minigames as bonus rooms that give big coins and 1ups in my levels

[@sweetcouchtater]

Did you not know Luigi can wall jump out of the bad rooms :o

[@norbert4frydl254]

HAVE YOU HEARD OF INVISIBLE BLOCKS

[@geopyro1587]

Mini games! I actually dedicated 3 courses to mini games: fishing, whack-a-mole and golf. I came with the mechanics for each!

[@_deletus_]

Yay! A new video! Keep up the great work, bud!

[@Arrowstotle]

Thanks for watching! What is your favorite minigame?

[@_deletus_]

Arrowstotle Hmmm. I dunno. I’ve seen a lot of these before. And I think I’ve actually played some of these levels! But anyways, I think the snowball and shellmet one would be interesting to play!

[@Arrowstotle]

Awesome! I appreciate you taking the time to reply

[@Rainy_R]

For number 6... DGR: hahaha, finally!

[@dojan6016]

Really good vid, loved the pinball idea!

[@Arrowstotle]

Thank you! If you make a pinball level, share the code with us!

How does this man not have 100,000 subscribers?!

[@los-lobos]

How do u make sure that Luigi doesn’t wear the shell helemet

Thank you man for showing case my level Goal the ice ball 😁 Armored103

[@KIMTUANVIETNAM]

Personally, I think the Color minigame is more like a Puzzle than a Minigame, like it, though.

Hey, your channel give me soo much good ideas!! I'm a Brazilian viewer and, I'm thinking transform my channel to a Mario Maker one, but... some Brazilians can't understand English, soo, can I "translate" your channel?

[@pavelhorak5463]

In which way levels you can add doors (one right others wrong) and playerwill really not know which ones are right

[@Carguyforlife]

Hey Arrowstotle, this seems like as good a video as any to comment with a course I’d made a while ago that is sort of along these lines. It’s called “Goomba Target Practice” 🎯 Course ID : H8W-WW5-W4G It’s a Link themed target practice level. Feel free to check it out, or even use it in a video if you so choose!

[@jemarraymundo6072]

I love Frogger Fiasco

[@Layspark]

Ok hi first ( sorry I had to do it... I looove blue shells :D , ok now i watch the video ! ). Edit : I watched the video and it's still great, but I think that you lost originality for some ideas, because these levels are already showcased by other players (Bearbeard) so we don't want to copy another popoular level, I mean, there is some original ideas , especially in this video like the frogger one, but that's just my opinion. Still very very good content ! ;)

[@Arrowstotle]

Thanks for the criticism! I’m not aware of that content creator. Thanks again for watching!
