Downland1983

Me too! I love watching Ryukar's SMM & SMM2 videos! There is some "hidden cheese" to be had in that sub-world room by the way. Just after you drop down the vine, there is a small ledge you can walk off onto. There is a hidden block on the ledge with a P-Switch that turns a line of coins across the lava into a brick path. You've still got to be quick to make it all the way across before the lava rises over the blocks or the P-Switch timer expires, but it is the easier of the 2 routes.

Mario Plays NES Games Course ID: TW6-PMX-VQF Description: As Mario, go home to your living room for an afternoon of playing three NES classic games on your NES. Turn the NES on and hop inside your TV to play a level of "Mario Bros.", "Donkey Kong Jr.", and "Super Mario Bros." Screenshots:

Awesome. Thanks for checking them out. I'm glad you enjoyed them! The Power Punch-Out 3!! course I originally made in October got a lot of plays and favorable recreations. So, I went and made the Deluxe version in March to add checkpoints and match the actual number of circuits and opponents from NES Punch-Out!!

Original Concepts: Infiltration of Hangar 66 Course ID: W8N-PML-MFG Description: This one is a completely original level. Mario must gain access to an enemy airbase, infiltrate Hangar 66, steal a copter and use it to board Bowser's Airship high above. Once aboard, activate explosives to defeat Bowser and destroy the airship.

There is a huge cliff blocking the way to the bay that leads to Yoshi's Island, but the Goombas have stacked into a massive Goomba Tower to overcome this obstacle. Use the Goomba Tower to ascend the cliff and defeat the remaining Goombas either by Thwomping them or eliminating the drawbridge from out from under them. Then, make your way across Yoshi's Island to the end of the level. This is designed as a speed run, so spending time exploring Yoshi's Island is completely optional.

Gang inside the Warehouse, Rob the Bank Vault, or Execute the Stunt Jump). There is an optional bonus mission at the end of the level as well (launch a car through the Window of Bowser's office).

I know of at least one other recreation of this level in Super Mario Maker 2, but mine is a re-upload of the same level I had crafted on the original Super Mario Maker for WiiU with slight changes.

Deluxe Versions of Previously Uploaded Courses: Kung Fu Master Returns Course ID: 4FK-CH8-8F Description: My 20th course creation. It's been getting a lot of plays and likes since uploading it. It's a remaster of my earlier Kung Fu Returns course. I always felt Kung Fu Returns was a bit drab looking, each level was overly stretched out to fit maximum horizontal course length, and floors 1-4 were so tightly compact to fit together in the sub-world that multiple floors could be seen on screen simultaneously. This had the added unintended consequence of enemies being able to interact with floors they were not meant to (Sledge Bro being able to fling hammers down from Floor 2 into Floor 1, and also being able to stun Mario without being on the same floor as him; the Bloopers from Floor 4 being able to descend down into Floor 3). I cleaned up with this version by using the more colorful desert background and semisolids. Also, I caught the horizontal length in half to fit Floors 1 & 2 vertically, and Floors 3 & 4 vertically side by side instead of all 4 squashed together vertically. This makes each floor less of a drag, keeps only 1 floor on screen at a time, and prevents enemies from interacting with other floors. I'm very pleased with how this remaster turned out.

This deluxe version features the addition of a title screen, 3 Complete Circuits of opponents (Minor, Major, & World - the original course only featured Minor & Major), 2 checkpoints not offered in the original course (after completion of the Minor and Major Circuits), cut scene improvements, and a "Super Uppercut" (Star Power-Up) for new opponents who could not otherwise be "punched" (stomped on).

Prior to the new (final) update to Super Mario Maker 2 on Nintendo Switch, I had logged 335+ hours in the game between Story Mode, playing other users courses, and creating 24 courses of my own. This thread is for the purpose of sharing those created courses, and it will also be open to anyone who wishes to share their own creations as well. I will post all of my creations to date in this opening post complete with Course Name, Course ID, Description, and Play Data. I will add screenshots for courses is follow posts. Thanks to the update, I'm currently working on my own "World" now. Since the 24 courses I've created so far of different themes, game styles, and recreations, I'm planning on creating all new levels for my "World" so that I can keep it to a cohesive game type and theme that will mesh together. I created a 1-1 and 1-2 for the first level of the world yesterday, but have not uploaded them yet. I think I'll craft the world completely and then upload each level once the world itself is ready to be uploaded. So, I'll do the same here and not post those newly created courses until I can post the World as a finished product. As for the Courses that are not going to be part of my "World" project, I will list them now and attempt to categorize them according to theme. I think I'll give each category it's own post in an attempt to make my list easier to sort through if that makes sense.

Okay, cool. I'll start one today! Thanks for the encouragement.

I was thinking of making a Course sharing thread recently with descriptions and screenshots of Courses that I have made and others could share their creations. Interest? And yeah, the update is a real game changer.

Here's the screenshots. Let me know what you think.
