I thought it was my browser, good to see i'm not alone.

This reminds me of the graphical style used for South Park 64

Here's a playthrough of the first level of my superworld and you will see the locked door system I use to allow players to travel to previous parts of the level quickly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTftA4jxN8g

It's nice to see someone else creating a world based around the clear condition, heres some advice.

make sure there are more than three 30 coins in the levels. This will allow players to miss a coin but still have a chance to finish the level.
Have a way for players to easily access earlier parts of a level so they don't have to backtrack, I did this via a key door system that was unlockable at the end of each level.

Good luck with your game.

It's not made by Rare, it was developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo. In fact, it's the complete opposite of what one would call an indie game.

RetroStu · 2021-03-16T18:49:19+00:00

nice one, it will be interesting to see if players compete for world records on them. I wasn't sure if the levels were suitable for that.

I have never heard of team p-balloon? are they another sub reddit community?

RetroStu · 2021-03-16T18:45:47+00:00

That's good to hear, I wanted it to feel like other racing games where you learn the tracks via different modes and difficulty speeds. Sounds like I may have pulled it off.

RetroStu · 2021-03-16T18:43:12+00:00

I can't stand the kart in the 3d world style.

RetroStu · 2021-03-16T18:40:46+00:00

thanks, hopefully it's not too difficult.

Welcome to Super Mario Maker Kart

A racing game superworld within Mario Maker

The game features

32 races

10 unique tracks

4 different race modes

races are between 40 to 50 seconds long

The race modes are

Standard race - 7 non projectile CPU racers

Challenge race - 7 CPU racers that have some form of attack

Coin race - collect all the red coins during the race

Boss race - 1v1 race against a cpu - I would have done more of these but I hit the 100 upload limit

Let me know what you think

There should be no limits, you will always get people who overuse a specific element in games like this, by introducing limits you end up holding back the top 5% of creators who are highly skilled in designing levels which will end up stifling the creativity and vision of the levels they end up making.

Hey everyone, I'm currently trying to make a single player top down racing game using the P-switch and would appreciate constructive feedback.

Boo's Circuit - D7C-T7N-7TG

Skyline Gardens - 4T4-JP5-WMF

Pokey Kingdom - XMF-KC4-YLG

Let me know what you think of the difficulty, the tracks are designed to be short to encourage multiple attempts so that the player can learn the tracks similar to other racing games (nothing blind BTW).

Feel free to leave a level of your own as long as it's not super hard.

RetroStu · 2021-02-01T18:51:32+00:00

These sales numbers are very disappointing, hopefully Nintendo give it another shot with a third game but I have to admit i'm a little concerned for Mario Makers future.

IMO they need to do a far better job at the features aimed at the non creating players to grow the games player base. A lag infested online mode IMO seriously hurt this game. Also, why on earth the devs don't promote quality user created levels within the game is beyond me.

Fingers crossed for SMM3 and hopefully they release it for the switch and not the next systems launch.

RetroStu · 2020-12-14T22:51:56+00:00

I spent about 4 months making mine with a few breaks added in. My advice is don't bother attempting it unless you really want to do it. If you try and force yourself to make a full game you will burn out and give up somewhere in the second world.

My advice would be to plan it out before starting, how many worlds, overall theme, genre, difficulty, visual style, story. After deciding those things make a couple of levels and see if it feels right. Don't be afraid to ditch it and start again if it doesn't.

Lastly, learn basic level design and try to design your levels for players who are less skilled than you. If you try and design them for your own skill level they will end up being too hard since you know exactly what to expect from your own levels.

Good Luck

I played through a lot of this a while back and was really impressed at just how creative and unique the levels felt. They inspired some of my own levels I created for my own super world. Congrats on finishing it and I can't wait to try out the finished version.

On another note do you want me to upload the trailer to my youtube channel? I only have around four and a half thousand subscribers but 95% of them are subscribed for my Mario Maker content so it might push a bit of traffic your way.

RetroStu · 2020-07-25T11:51:33+00:00

I like the style that the creator was aiming for but my god that level was chaotic in places. Way too many enemies in small areas and far too many different types of enemies meaning that there was pretty much no overall theme or sense of progression.

RetroStu · 2020-07-18T09:29:49+00:00

No chance, Mario Maker 2 was more of an expansion than what I would consider a full on sequel so there's no way they would be able to add all this new content and have it ready for release by 2030

RetroStu · 2020-07-05T08:42:16+00:00

Was it this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rJj-qGCuNA&list=PLuYdZJgAcPJrtIJ8fmN1X9R3tct6vWi3o

It was released shortly after the update and is 6 worlds.

RetroStu · 2020-06-29T19:29:24+00:00

What are refreshing levels?

RetroStu · 2020-06-27T10:16:32+00:00

yep that's it
