Super Mario Maker 2 - Your Courses #17
12I think from here on out, I'll list the courses still on my list of ones to play. If it's not on here, and you don't think I've played it, please let me know. But first, here are the rules if you want to give me courses to play:
1. Maximum 5 courses per person at a time. Once I've put up all of them, you can send me more.
2. I will accept Course IDs only with the course's name and vice versa. No bare IDs and no bare names. I want to make sure I have the right one.
3. My player ID is KJ8-PD8-F9G, and I go by Puppycorn.
4. Do not send someone else's course. Courses you've obtained from others and modified yourself are fine, as long as the modifications are substantial.
It's been two months, so I'll finally round out the list of playable characters (not including Link) with Toadette, the first female playable character in a Super Mario Maker game...excluding the Mystery Mushroom costumes, as they're just costumes (and apparently, Mario went crossdressing a lot in that game). I think you all are familiar enough with her that she needs no introduction.
Chain Chomp Grove
by Bomb Dude
Course ID: HWP-LM8-PWG
Clear Rate: 44/777, 5.62% (Expert)
"Use vines, wall kicks, and caution to escape the grove in one piece!"
This was a nice, fun course, with a variety of things done with Chain Chomps and usage of Semisoft ledges to create a lush atmosphere (and done very well too, considering NSMBU Ground is probably the blandest of the game-theme combinations overall), at least until the Checkpoint Flag. While I would expect the game to get harder, this fell straight into the trap of "designer knows the way but others don't." As it seems, the stack of Chain Chomps required an exact sequence of moves that isn't immediately obvious. I think this course would've been a lot better had that stack been reduced to two Chain Chomps instead of three.
Air Fleet
by Bomb Dude
Course ID: B01-DV1-R6G
Clear Rate: 73/643, 11.21% (Normal)
"Bowser's minions are building a secret robotic weapon. Find and destroy it!"
This one, meanwhile, was executed more consistently. Again, atmosphere is a large part of it, and it feels tense and challenging but is best approached at a slower pace. There's just one problem: this stage is very long. Perhaps it's another consequence of what I mentioned above, since if you know exactly how it goes, you can clear it with time to spare, but your world record holder spent almost 4 minutes to clear it. The time limit should have been expanded to the full 500 seconds rather than shortened to 300. The world record holder still had to hear the hurry-up theme and the music go faster.
We Are Number Run!
by AlphaLuc
Course ID: X4S-900-HMF
Clear Rate: 452/10203, 4.42% (Expert)
"30sec speedrun with music | always run (easy)"
Clear Condition: Reach the goal after grabbing at least 14 Coins.
Either that "easy" part of the description is a joke (whether sarcasm or to mislead people) or, well, you know the drill. No course should be labeled as "easy" when its clear rate is below 5%. The game itself classifies this as Expert. You can see why once you get to that point in the video: the margin of error is VERY small, especially at the beginning with the first two jumps. If you start moving as soon as you're allowed to, you'll collide with the Fire Bar if you don't slow down. If you jump as soon as you collect the 13th coin, you'll land on the very last Spike Trap. I gave this a Like anyway since it's a lot of work to produce something like this, and really, this sort of testing and the subsequent feedback are necessary for these courses.
