Original article claims Chris Kohler has plagiarised a MM2 level idea and spun it as his own for popularity.

Here is the tweet of Chris listing the level he created .
Update: His response.
Worth noting that this is an idea that is used in MM1 as well and the OG creator has denied playing it or owning a WiiU on reddit.
Edit: Can a mod change the thread title? It should include the word “Allegedly“.

That Goomba had a family... The story behind the hit Mario Maker 2 level.
What makes games fun? This blog explores the underlying psychology of game design with analysis, current events, reviews and more.
Kotaku writer Chris Kohler uploaded a near-copy of this level with the exact same concept 2 days after maker JoshLamm launched the original. It's no surprise that a journalist stumbling upon this level would be amazed at its fantastic use of the engine to tell a story much deeper and darker than we are used to in a Mario game.
But what's really disappointing is rather than use his journalistic platform to call attention to the creativity and talent of the creator, Chris Kohler quickly rushed together a copy of the level and promoted that as his own idea
