New plan. Make a troll level where every single path is correct and watch Carl freak out as he calls every troll. Regardless of which path you choose, something happens to make the other look bad. Then after a few rooms of this, have a knowledge checkpoint for the beginning of the level that takes you to the actual troll level.

[@carpetclimber4027]

Here Defender is right in that troll levels can be art while Nintendo does their best to in no way support the troll level community. Why can't there at least be a "troll" tag and people who don't like those kind of levels can just pick off that box? They're morons. Great troll levels is basically the only thing I enjoy to watch from Mario Maker because of the creativity and the laughs.

[@geli95us]

Yeah, it's weird because by giving it a tag, they would actually help everyone, not only the troll community, since anyone who doesn't like trolls could just avoid that tag. Right now people who like puzzles have it rough, since most levels with a "puzzle" tag are actually trolls, they are the ones getting fucked by Nintendo not giving us a troll tag

[@DatHypnoboi]

Probably the biggest barrier to troll levels being acknowledged by Nintendo is that most of them heavily abuse un-nintended game mechanics, plus they are generally mean-spirited, which can't be allowed in their funny plumber game

I think Defender deliberately put less effort hiding the contraptions in this level. So that visitors of the exhibition, who may not be as familiar with Mario maker level construction, mechanics, and limitations, can get a small glimpse of just how much work goes into making the level do the funny. If that is the case, nicely done.

[@psuedonym9999]

52:02 If only he knew... >:) 55:41 The best part about this was that he had 3 chances to stop hopping around, 3 warning signs to stop, and he didn't.
