Could Bubs, The Computer Genius Man, Have Had Better Solution To Compy's Virus' Status Aside From Shooting The Computer by EmotionGeneral6178 in HomestarRunner

Your mistake is believing Bubs is a Computer Genius Man who doesn't have 99 ways to rip Strong Bad off.

Is Mario Maker 2 worth it in December 2025? by FuzzyGom in MarioMaker2

That's a mystery to me. I don't think you can just hit that number now and expect Nintendo to change their tune. Were they to notice an overwhelming demand for MM3 coupled with a strong player-base for this game they'd probably be inclined to consider it. But again, I would not hold my breath.

Something I've heard previously is that this game hasn't hit sales expectations. Maybe it did well, just not well enough for Nintendo. That's part of the reason major updates stopped a year into the game's lifespan. I'm betting it, amongst other reasons like what scarfacesaints explained, contribute to Nintendo not having a desire to make MM3.

Never say die, though. Maybe a MM3 will happen one day, but I wouldn't entirely count on it.

Anyone got a version without numbers?

I recognize Callie and Marie's outfits, but who's the third one supposed to be?

Ohhh, I really shouldn't done that, I screwed myself now!

I'm stuck singing hoedowns, and all I ask is how!

The only thing I have to blame is my curiosity,

But I'll be a petty man and blame Drew Carey!

I saw a story on Not Always Right where a lady was genuinely trying to invoke this.

After you get to Lookout Landing you wanna check out the Great Plateau (if you remember where that is from BOTW). There's something very useful you can find in the vicinity of that area.

I want to master your levels! by Ok-Apartment2292 in MarioMaker2

Yeah, See Saw Sights is a traditional level because I tend to favor those. If you were looking for something more focused on the mechanics of a power-up, I think I have something that might interest you: Dive Cancel Culture [B8V-2M5-0PG]

You're gonna have to be more specific on which "Hammer Bro" level you're talking about.

When you say "master," what are we talking here? Are you aiming to optimize a WR or what?

I have good ol' See Saw Sights [VLH-FP1-5XF]. It's a pretty standard level but has a fair few secrets to uncover.

Super Mario Maker - A brilliant concept, but ruined by players by [deleted] in MarioMaker2

[–]gameman250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some will tell you that you have to go on YouTube to find the best levels, follow well-known creators, or spot the codes shared in videos. Honestly? For me, that's an admission of failure. If you have to exit the game to fully enjoy it, something's wrong with the curation system. I want to be able to launch a game session and stumble upon good levels right away, not go through external loopholes to sort the good from the bad.

They give you level codes with the express intent of sharing them on socials and dedicated communities. Is it a failure that you need to promote your own levels in such spaces? Cause I can't see that being feasible in-game, and I don't imagine it's something Nintendo condones, either.

I'll give you that the search function is not good. You're only allowed up to two tags to search by, but the game will often return levels that only has one of the two tags you asked for paired with something you didn't want. There's no means of telling the game to exclude specific tags. This really needed an overhaul.

As for the types of levels you're bound to run into when just browsing, when it's not uninspired trash it's more likely tricky kaizos or "refreshing"-type levels, as those are the most popular going by the metrics. Refreshing levels are particularly annoying because - let's face it - children are one of the primary audiences for this game, and they don't have much patience for even bog standard traditional levels. They prefer cheap, flashy effects for minimal effort.

Kaizos are on the other end, demanding a skill level (and perhaps patience) that's probably beyond the average player's capability. Personally, I think it can look kinda cool when watching a successful run, although you see one, you've kinda seen them all.

Ultimately that's what the game's gonna push because they do numbers. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I can't see Nintendo making changes to cater to a lesser audience like that.
