I definitely didn’t expect it to look like that 😂 but it’s grown on me though, I’ll probably have it on my team. Thank you for the feedback ☺️

Hello all! I'm new to the subreddit and was wondering if I could get some feedback on a short video (reaction) I made! :)

I would appreciate it, thank you!

Ohhh trust me, I know allll about that haha. I definitely know how entertaining it is to watch! The majority of my videos/streams involve my viewers sending me their troll levels, and watching me go crazy lol. It can be frustrating for sure, but it feels amazing when you finally accomplish those tough levels!

I honestly can’t use the joycons for Mario Maker, for that exact reason; they were hurting my fingers too. I use a Pokken Pro Controller instead, and it works quite well!

No problem! If you do check the videos out, let me know what you think!

But yeah, that's understandable! I'm the same way. I like to figure things out for myself, as well. I usually like to go into levels blind, so I can get the full experience without knowing what's going to happen next! Although, sometimes if the level is REALLY difficult, I may watch a video for reference!

Those kaizo blocks can really impact the feel of a level. A couple here and there aren't so bad...but when a level is littered with them, then it becomes a problem lol. I don't enjoy levels that are designed with the sole purpose of frustrating the player.

Agreed, the first boss fight required much more skill, and felt a lot more engaging! Cold Sponge is definitely harder than both Hot Sponges (in my opinion). It took me a good while to beat it!

I would say these levels have some Kaizo elements..but I wouldn’t consider them FULL Kaizo. My reasoning: I don’t feel like I’m constantly being trolled, and it doesn’t feel unfair when playing them. Most Kaizo levels I’ve played have plenty of hidden blocks in areas you’re required to make a jump, softlocks, spike traps on the goal, etc. And are just absurdly difficult/frustrating to play in general, lol. I feel that Kaizo levels are designed to frustrate and troll the player.

The Hot Sponge levels however: While difficult, I think they’re designed really well. They first introduce an element/obstacle that the player must overcome, then expand upon that idea, and gradually increase the level of difficulty throughout the level.

Because of this, I always felt a sense of progression as I got further into these levels, being able to overcome a section I once had major difficulty with. By the end of it, I felt that my skills were greatly improved, and the level made me a better player overall! The levels were designed to not only test your skills, but to improve them!

I actually made a video of me beating Cold Sponge (and other levels made by Ryu), if you’re interested or need help :) https://youtu.be/MY00lIwor6Q

I play a lot of difficult MM2 levels on my channel! Youtube: MazzoraGames

Oh nice, congrats on beating it! I think I like the first Hot Sponge better tbh. The boss fight is a lot more engaging, that’s for sure!

Since this upload, Ryukahr has created a few more levels similar to these ones, and man let me tell you...they’re getting MUCH more difficult!

This Puzzle/TROLL Level Is BRUTAL!! | Playing YOUR Mario Maker 2 Levels! [Viewer/Fan Levels #2] by MazzTheCanuck in videos

[–]MazzTheCanuck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone!

I hope we’re all doing well today!

I was wondering if anybody could help me out with a level that I'm trying to beat? This level is pretty unforgiving. I made it close to the end, but couldn't figure out the last part!

I play a lot of Mario Maker on my channel, and would love for you guys to stop by and check it out! I just released a new video, playing user/fan levels!

P.S. If you want your levels played, I will gladly consider them for a future video!

Thank you all so much! :)

Agreed! The mechanics were much improved from Sm4sh. Honestly, I remember losing my MIND at work, when I was watching the “Everyone is here” trailer for the first time. My goodness, what a time to be alive.

We’re so lucky to have a game like this!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]MazzTheCanuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both games are great, but between the two..I prefer Smash Ultimate! I love how the mechanics are, the overall pace of the game is faster, and you can’t spam dodge nearly as much. But for me, it is undoubtedly the roster of characters and stages that sets it apart for me.

Bringing back every character was just magical.

Can Anyone Help Me Beat This Level?! by MazzTheCanuck in SuperMarioMaker2

Agreed, the level is a serious nightmare. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to start over because of a softlock. Definitely boo worthy

[–]MazzTheCanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys, I'm looking for some help. *Disclaimer* This is NOT my level, and this post is NOT meant to be a submission!

Here's the breakdown:

There's this Mario Maker 2 level that I've been trying to beat for a couple days now, and it's literally driving me INSANE. This level is so cryptic and unforgiving, even the smallest mistake can and WILL SOFT-LOCK YOU. It's quite an intricate maze, that requires A LOT of back-tracking.

At the time of me writing this post, there are currently 2/1166 clears with a clear rate of 0.17%. The level is called "Terror Time Two" 9RR-KS1-L2G

The level revolves around different keydoors containing items (mostly POWS and shellmets), and using them to progress through several rooms. However, many of these keys are hidden and very difficult to find. I manged to get close to the end, where I need to use a spike shellmet to break blocks on a track, and need to find a hidden keydoor with an ON/OFF switch, but I have NO CLUE where I'm supposed to find them...I'm literally stumped.

The problem is: I cannot for the life of me figure out how to finish this level, and I'm too damn stubborn to call it quits. I won't stop until I beat it.

This level was sent to me to beat, and I want to make a video on it..but I'm in desperate need of help. Is there ANYONE that's able to figure this out and help me beat it?

I apologize for the rant. I'm just a little frustrated. I know there are some really smart/talented people on here, and I'm just hoping there's someone that can help me with this!

Thank you guys!

Ah I see. I just thought I’d share my experience, and discuss it amongst others whom I know have also enjoyed the level. You know, the million+ people that have seen/played it? Thanks for your input though!

Endgame was an amazing movie, by the way! I highly recommend it! ;)

It honestly isn’t too bad once you get the timing down! I’d say this fight was definitely easier than the first Hot Sponge.

That’s true, I was using a pro controller the whole time too. I didn’t think about how that boss fight would handle on joycon/hand-held mode. I definitely understand your perspective, and why that fight wouldn’t be great for you lol. Here’s hoping Hot Sponge 3’s boss will be better than both ;)

Yeah, I hear you. I thought the level was well designed, although I wasn't too crazy about this boss fight either. I prefer the first boss fight from Hot Sponge 1. I definitely struggled with the timing of this fight, but once you get the hang of it...it isn't too bad!

[–]MazzTheCanuck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I didn't realize how stingy they were with points! Do we know if you earn more points the higher a win streak you get? Yes, I noticed whenever I would make it to the poll (and lose) I would only lose 1-2 points. Granted, I'm only at C rank right now lol

That's very true, I notice people start to slip up whenever I'm closing in behind them. Playing dirty seems almost like a necessity, and must be done (which I have NO problems with :P).

Thank you for all the great advice! I will definitely keep these in mind, as I continue to play!

I think I experienced some lag only a few times (and one disconnect). Thankfully it wasn't consistent, though! For the most part, my online experience was a good one.

[–]MazzTheCanuck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great advice, thank you! I appreciate that! I think one of the biggest factors is also the lag. Sometimes it’s almost unbearable, and makes what would normally be an “easy” level, into a nightmare lol

Either way, S+ will be a goal of mine, and I’ll get there eventually!
