Thanks, I really appreciate that, I try my best to get the feeling of a level within the actual game it's based on, while doing something new with it. The giant world on SMB3 is my favorite so I had to make a stage based on it.

After watching giant bomb's stream with Super Mario Maker today, I realized that he wasn't having the trouble that I seem to have been when using the cape in this game.
I've played Super Mario World since I was a kid, and I never had trouble getting Mario to fly before, but in Super Mario Maker, everytime I've had the cape, I've had trouble getting him airborne. Immediately when he gets within jumping height, Mario always seems to get into the glide position, and never gains any height for me. I can't seem to figure out why! I'm not holding back, and I'm specifically holding just the run button, the direction I'm moving, and tapping the jump button. That's how I've done it for years, but for some reason in this game, he always starts gliding immediately.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Warp to Dreamland in this remake of the first level from the old Game Boy classic. Discover secrets and fight enemy bosses.
I tried my best to be as faithful as I could with enemy placements and I added a little treat for all those who try to break levels with a lakitu

thanks, i'm glad you liked it. i'll try out your tower level when i get home.
Thanks to everyone that played my levels. I didn't get many stars, but I understand now that the start of this map was a dick move, based on the cluster of deaths where I had not intended it to be hard.

It's short and difficult, but I hope it isn't cheap. As a bonus, try to get all of the coins.

Made a simple airship level in NSMB to play around with some ideas, not too difficult:

Ohhhhh... embarassing gaming confession time: I never played much SMB3 back in the day, it's not my favorite - so if the sound cue shifted I wouldn't have noticed. That's interesting, in lieu of that maybe a safe spot is a good idea.

Well I made some levels, each using a different theme. They're kinda haphazardly thrown together so any advice/criticism would be appreciated.

I have no idea what I'm doing but it's still fun.

In my last 100 Mario Normal run at least 3 levels I recognised as Gaffer made ones showed up, it was really weird. They were all really fun levels though! (I think I starred at least two of them.)
I took a stab at making a simple little castle/fortress/whatever level. Tried to make it feel somewhat like a SMB3 level, like my previous ones, although it's probably a bit too long to be a SMB3 fort.

As always, I'm going to follow a bunch of random people on this page and play through your levels and leave comments and such on ones I like. Give me a shout if you try out one of my levels (my airship one has barely any plays ) and I'll try yours too.

Loving this Nyzon stream, so many good Gaffer stages here I've added to my "to download" list.

I just started playing Sephzilla's stages and easily some of the best I've seen on Mario Maker.

My Bubble Bobble tribute stage is up now, woo!
Edit: Glad you enjoyed it, next time I will send you one of my hard stages.

Now that I got all the gimmicky levels out of my system, it's time to make a legit Mario level.
Which theme do you think needs more levels? I've noticed there's a shortage of SMB3 levels, but maybe it's just me.

Agreed, SMB 3 needs a bit more love.
I agree!
I've been trying to make my levels feel like SMB3 stages, my lack of skill means they're pretty much only World 1 stages though. Bleh.

I only ever break away from SMB. 3 if it doesn't fit a theme I'm going for. It's my favorite in the series so I tend to use it the most.

Oh that's what that was, not sure why you added a weird part to the level if it served no purpose. The level was fine, I really didn't feel the Kirby inspiration though. I thought the end to get to the flag was unneeded too, didn't really serve an overlying purpose. I still starred it though, it was good work.

Man SMB3 appears so abstract to me compared to the others, but maybe that's only because I've played it the least.
Weirdly, World is my favourite but almost all my levels are SMB3. I think Mario Maker has awoken my hidden nostalgia for it.
I can't let mario suck enemies lol, but the level design was straight from Dreamland:
Green Greens
I did fumble around to make it work in Mario Maker. But anyway thanks for the feedback and the star.
It was a little too tough for me so I couldn't finish it. I did however find the check point pretty easily so I was able to skip half the level....and I still couldn't finish it.

Does anyone want to play my wife's stages and comment or star them on Miiverse? It would make her ever so happy.
Here's one of them:

SMB3 was the best in the series for me.
I would also kill for Nintendo to release a All-stars Skin pack for DLC.

I decided to make a challenge level, not in the mood for baby's first level.
Enjoy!

Livestreamers, I want to become one of you!
What do y'all use? I have my clicker hovering over a purchase of the Elgato HD60.
I mostly want to livestream though I'll probably record some reviews and things as well. Is that a good purchase for that purpose? Does it play nicely with OBS?

I have an HD60 and it's great. I hooked it up to my HDMI hub and I can stream any console by cycling the hub. Packaged software is extremely simple to use for capturing or streaming, or you can feed it to xsplit.
If you notice on PS4 that it won't capture anything, you have to turn off the DRM thing in PS4 settings first (it's called HDCP or something). I spent an hour figuring this out when it could have taken a minute.
edit: I haven't tried it with OBS, but I imagine it would be fine.
Just reposting in case anyone is interested
Thanks to the person who played both levels. I will be playing and starring yours!

A lot of things will do the job, and depending on how much of a "production" you want to make, you may or may not need to be picky.
Personally, I wouldn't waste my time with any Windows capture card that isn't DirectShow compatible. I have no idea whether the Elgato is or isn't. I just avoid USB 2.0 cards on principle.
I use a Micomsoft XCAPTURE-1. It is fancier and more expensive than most people need.
Couldn't watch it live but it was fun watching the archive. I lol'ed when you thought it was over after the trampoline spin jump. For the last room you can also power through at full speed. I actually thought that'd be a more obvious way to proceed since there are plenty of spinnable enemies and not much time haha. It was cool you could clear that room by going slowly.

Hey guys! I was finding some cool hidden features when you use the 8-bit mario amiibo so I decided to make a level showing off a few things.
8-bit Bizzaro
(F1F4-0000-0064-52D5)
It's not overly difficult but let me know what you guys think.

SMB3 is also my favourite, but the best thing about the game was the short, really creative levels. It sits in the middle between the bare bones 'nothing but the basic' SMB and then SMW and NSMB which both have Yoshi, and extra abilities.
Here's my new level. I took a break from making sprawling movie and game adaptations to make a sprawling tribute to furniture shopping:
Mario Goes To IKEA
3C20-0000-0067-3694
In this level, Mario goes shopping for some cheap housewares. It's mostly puzzle-based, with some simple platforming. No bottomless pits!

So you're saying you can finish in 500 seconds or less AND it has no bottomless pits?
It must not be like any of the IKEAs I've ever been to.
Does anyone know if Nintendo is removing things from the top 50 lists? My "Mario Gear Solid" level was on the weekly regional top 50 easy tracks, and then it disappeared, despite still having more than enough weekly stars. I am wondering if it's because it directly references a competitor's game.

Every time I start designing a level using the SMW theme I always end up switching to either SMB3 or plain ol SMB because one of the SMW-only abilities tend to break what I've built. I guess just have trouble keeping them in mind when designing obstacles.
I thought your stages all deserved stars! The wiggler one was solid, but that last room with the Wigglers should be tweaked. It's possible to get stuck and die, and it's just cumbersome to navigate. The level is solid otherwise!
The ice-thwomp stage had some really creative obstacles, but it's difficult knowing exactly what you need to do before you do it. Took a lot of trial and error to figure out exactly how things worked or what was the proper way to progress. Use coins as cues more often, is my suggestion.
The last stage is great! No major complaints, and I loved the underwater section...!
Overall I'd say your designs are solid, but you need to playtest it from all angles to really put together that flourish you may miss. In other words, just polish your ideas more, and construct tighter layouts.
I followed you!

SMB3 had great variety in level design and good difficulty progression. I actually think that the lack of a save function helped its replayability to an extent. When only one world has giants and only one level has Goomba's Shoe, the only way you can enjoy those levels again is to just start a new game from the beginning, but because the rest of the game also has a lot of variety, nothing really gets old and it's never a chore to replay the other levels as well. It's the sort of game that I could literally play every day for several days in succession when I was younger and not tire of it.
It wasn't until NSMBW's addition of simultaneous multiplayer that I felt that way about a Mario game again. Working through that game with different co-op partners of various skill levels made each experience unique and often incredible.
