150+ Level Making Tips For Super Mario Maker 2 

Fact 101 as of the new update is unfortunately no longer accurate. While the update was good as a whole this is definitely an unfortunate change

"avoid trolling the player" Troll levels can be good, but mark them as troll levels and don't use pick a pipe. Get psychological and make it good. Most people enjoy a well crafted troll level...when they're not playing endless or multiplayer versus as most troll levels break with multiple players

We absolutely need a sort of "Anti-P-Switch" that ends the P-Switch timer instantly...

The fact that lots of these are in the optional lessons in-game, it really shows how little people actually play that. It's like a couple of minutes long and is worth trying

23:58 the fact that he didn't get a single 1-up is stressful

"Avoid trolling the player" Troll makers:Im gonna pretend i didnt see that

4:26 Oddysey Central: “All it takes is 2 blocks” Also Oddysey Central: *places 4 blocks* Me: *_visible confusion_*

I put a lot of love and care into my Levels. Including my troll levels, which i create for the purpose of sharing with friends. when i create a normal level, i make it with endless players in mind as i play that mode frequently.

"avoid trolling the player" *laughs in Alpharad*

8:16 This removes any form of challenge from a section with the Superball Flower.

Just love how your Voice evolved!

I would suggest considering not talking in absolutes. For example, you say, "always have a pink coin by the key door", or "never use Boo Rings in a block", or "never use the laugh sound effect". The laughing sound effect has it's uses, and boo rings in a block are really not that bad, especially for certain ghost levels where it fits the theme.

Odyssey Central: Don’t do this, as it throws off the level’s pace. Creator of Bean Burrito 2: But that IS the level’s pace!

Muncher: Super useful. They’re solid, they can be used to hold enemies in place, etc. Grinder: w h e e l .

Oddysey Central: “Make your levels *_FUN.”_* Troll level creators: “ima bout to end this mans whole career”

Tip 152: DONT just make a 1-1 remake, it has been done to DEATH

"Avid trolling the player" DGR: *laughter*

4:12 WHAT?!?!?!? I've been making levels for a long time, and I did not know you could do that!

Someone breaks all these tips. Odyssey Central: You are not a clown, you are the entire circus.

Great video. I like the poison-blowing Yoshi, I really didn't know that! BTW, I had to tell my 9-year old not to put in an instant death door. She was disappointed, but I had to say it.

There are a lot of details here that I totally ignored, even though I've already made and played quite a few levels. Nice job. I will rewatch this from time to time to remind myself of some stuff.

15:10 wow that is a lot of playstations

There was a level with a clear condition of don’t get hurt, but there was no way of getting hurt.

7:19 That semisolid peaking from the pipe is beautiful :D Good tips, would like to see similar with the new update, and especially for the link stages

What if I want to fight boom boom with shaky ground while avoiding red bullet bills

5:57 that voice crack doe XD

Another way to use thwomps is as a different one way wall, its not that much different from the one way wall but it could be better for castle levels to fit the theme. First, get a thwomp and keep it out of view, use a semisolid or coins to indicate the thwomp. Then get one way walls and place them facing downward at the end of the gap where the thwomp is, this will prevent the thwomp from returning back to its normal position. If done correctly and if i've thought correctly it should stay in place when it falls, depending on the size of it, it will block the way of the player from returning. Pretty sure this will be deemed useless, but it could be a fun way to say make an entrance to a boss arena. If you spotted a mistake that i've made please let me know in the replies.

#2 Avoid Trolls Unless it's a level based around trolls.

#43 I don't think this makes sense because if they tell you where to shoot from, there's no challenge

For the Snake Block, try to use tracks to indicate where the Snake Block will go! 😄

151 you can make troll levels if you tell the player that its a troll

17:20 Odyssey showcasing icicles are global ground Update 1.1: Say sike right now

You honestly deserve more than 6.77k subs when you make vids like this, this actually helped me make a level along with item limit manipulation. It is a pick a path boss level. You either fight one hard bowser jr. Or you fight 2 boom booms which are a bit easier.

I’m not gonna be giving 5 tips Not 50 Not 100 Not 150 IM GOING TO BE GIVING 1

This really helped me! You are my favorite youtuber! All the videos you make I watch! You gave a lot a useful tips, and I'm going to use all of them! Thank you very much!

A note on playtesting: for the love of god if you make any form of hard level you know just how many test runs you put into them. Please, playtest any speed run of relatively hard levels at least 20 times during editing.

This is the best Mario Maker 2 video I have ever watched. Thank you so much for this amazing video. (P.S. I subbed!)

Wow! This is exactly why I love your channel! You did good, and I'm sure to use these tips! Thanks, Odyssey!

Got this game a couple weeks ago to fight quarentine boredom. Lots of good tips, I want to play around with seesaws and thwomps. Thx!

20:46 sounds like a robot

Thanks for the hard work you put into this. I am new to Mario maker, this really helped from a foundational level. Keep it up!

Thank you for all of these tips! They were very useful! I'm going to use all of them! You are my favorite smm2 RU-vidr!

I actually got like 3 ideas from this video! Thanks!

6:39 ok thanks for the helpful tip that i will definitely use

These tips were really helpful when I was making my courses thanks for this video! 🙏

This really inspired me keep it up!!

Wow, thank you very very much for these good ideas and tips :)

I had no idea the Yoshi poison thing even existed. Thank you for all of these tips. These were really useful :)

24:29 *JACOB (Alpharad) WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION*

This has actually been helpful to me, thanks a lot Odyssey Central :)

Thanks for these tips because these helps my levels and make them 10x better

I love how so much of these tips are saying not to do things that all troll levels do

The only difference I know between fire balls and poison balls is that poison balls can defeat flaming cheep cheeps, but still not poison ones. That would mean having to combine a castle theme and a night jungle theme as a subworld , and having cheep cheeps in both. Very minute.

Awsome vid, great tips and ideas. I did know the 3d world jump detrctor

I really like watching your videos. In fact this is the first video from you that I watched.

Here is another tip: Remember: If it takes 5 times for you to beat your level it may take 10 tries for another random player!

Thanks. Im new in Mario Maker 2 and this gave me some inspiration

You’re helping a lot of people build better levels, especially troll level creators because whatever you tell them not to do they do it

Do you know why odyssey is weird? . . . . . . . Well it’s Odd you see (od y ssey) Edit PT 1: OMG I GOT A HEART THAT IS MY FIRST HEART EVER! THANKS SO MUCH ODYSSEY CENTRAL!!! Edit PT 2: i know it has nothing to do with mario maker but i came up with it now

Heyyy... these are pretty good! I’ll keep these in mind.

Ok so this is kind of random but this video, YES THIS VIDEO. Is what inspired my whole entire channel in 2019. I remember watching this video and imagining that I could have a mario channel too! If it wasnèt for this video, this channel, YOU, I wouldnèt have my channel today so thanks dude.

Thank you so much man God bless you and I am telling everyone I I know about you and I subscribed!

0:34 THAT NOTEBLOCK CLICK

An amazing feature would be that we can make our own terrain like in smash bros, changing shape, colour etc...

I know this video isn't that old but your channel is really nostalgic for me, I remember being addicted to this game and your channel when I was around 10 lol, thanks for all the good memories :D

Very good work. Thank you.

14:36 I cannot believe you didn't say "Dry Bones for smash

If the condition set is getting a lot of coins, put coins in pipes to make the level harder (castle theme with platforms that are flat will make a hard level) Edit: surprise thwomps, if used, make sure you use semisolid platforms to warn them.

Mindblows from this video: 1.) Purple Yoshi flames 2.) Attaching music to Mario himself 3.) Muncher enemy helmets

Great video!! Super helpful and creative

2:46 That's exactly my record on easy mode. 😱

3:03 OMG I have seen so many levels with the "dont get hit" condition and they dont even give you any powerups to survive a hit

This is propably the video i watch the most (i have watched it 23 times!), best video

Thank u sooo much you helped me become a better Mario Maker player. You’re my hero.

24:29 Alpharad is questioning life

5:50 i subbed for the bruh

#23 yes! i discovered this right away and use it when i can. it really does add a little more charm to the level.

Thank you very much! It helped me a lot! I also subscribed too!

This really helped, me but we can’t do anything about the 8 year olds and 3 year olds making levels...

When he said ‘but anyways’ I thought he was going to say ‘that’s just a theory, a *game theory* ‘

Thank you so much for this. I have been making Sonic Adventure 2 Themed levels and they don't have much enemies. also its kinda too easy to beat. Thank you so much for teaching me this.

Thanks for this! I’m developing a *Super World* and these tips are gonna make them creative!

Today: odysseys first video to hit 1M views on RU-vid!!!

I love your video ideas!😍🤣

Loved it great video

Troll levels: I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that.

This video have literally the same number of tips as there are pokemons in the first generation

omg thank so much, this completely made my levels better and removed cheese.

Thx For The Tips!

23:56 basically every course in the recent course menu

Who else remembers when Boo Rings were called "Boo Buddies"

Thank you so much for this

Thx this helped me so much

I didn’t even know Yoshi could spit out poison!

Koopa: Can’t hold up Mario. Koopa: Can hold Infinite cannonballs with an over weighted cannon. Koopa: Deal with it MARIO.

3:55 for any who don’t know, you can make ground decorations by using the ‘copy’ function (pressing ZR or ZL until the top left says copy) and simply copying the blocks that have them. This also works in reverse, if there’s an unneeded or unwanted decoration, you can copy a block without one! (hope this helped someone)

Thanks For The Tips
