9 Tips to Make Better Super Mario Maker Levels
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/9-tips-to-make-better-super-mario-maker-levels/1100-6432481/

6) Your levels will seem easier to you than to the people who will play them
[...] (see link for details)
7) Your level doesn't need to be difficult all the dang time
For Tezuka, thinking about the "feelings of the player" is a key consideration when creating a Mario level. Yes, players like to be challenged, but excruciating, non-stop difficulty will also turn a lot of players off. "We try to create courses that give a good variety and switch back and forth between something that is easier and simply enjoyable to play and something that makes the player a bit nervous or puts them on edge or challenges them. We try to avoid making the player feel challenged for too long of a stretch at a time," he said.
8) Make sure you're giving hints about any secrets you're hiding in your levels
Secrets are a key part to Mario games, but they can't be so secretive that no one ever finds them. So if you're thinking of peppering hidden areas or challenges throughout your levels, make sure you're giving players subtle hints as to their existence. "With placing hints, if you can make the player suspect that there will be a reason or something good waiting for them if they go to a particular area, and then if they go there and find out that there is then they feel sort of rewarded for their effort. For example, (if) you can see the coins lined up across the bottom, I feel like that makes the player think, 'Oh there has got to be a switch around here that will change these coins into blocks and allow me to run across the bottom.' If there is a switch, they will be happy to find it. If there isn't one, then they will feel tricked," Tezuka said.
9) Ignore other people's advice, even Tezuka's
Tezuka and the team on Super Mario Maker have a long history of creating Mario levels, but ultimately, Tezuka says the game was built for fans to try whatever they wanted to. Just because this is how the Mario team makes their levels, that doesn't mean you have to follow the same rules. "We as the developers of the game don't want to tell people how to play or what courses are good or bad," he said. "We think people should be able to really try making whatever courses they feel are best."[...] (more at the link above!)
