Super Wolfy ♪ World: It’s on like Donkey Kong! (Super Mario Maker 2)
0I'm pleased to present a full super world by Wolfy, the creator of the recently-showcased "♪ Metroid Dread—Cataris ♪" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TebqQgTgxZ4&t=14s ). Whereas that level combined looping music with puzzle/exploration elements inspired by the Metroid franchise, the majority of the 15 levels in Super Wolfy World are traditional platformers (with the notable exceptions of two optional auto-music levels and two 20-second speedruns); however, they often include subversive tech, concepts borrowed from retro games (e.g., The Legend of Zelda; Donkey Kong Country), and/or brief musical accompaniments, all of which serve to maintain (and reward) player engagement. Despite the eclectic nature of the levels in question, and the fact that they are all enjoyable to play individually, I was surprised by how cohesively they came together in the super world format. In particular, the three castles stand out for inventive, challenging design and unique boss encounters. Timestamps are below:
0:24 "Magical Moving Woods"
Kamek's magic brought these stumps to life!
2:35 "The Deadly Fire Swamp"
Tricky platforming with fast-moving blasters and (stationary) burners in a jungle swamp.
6:34 "♪ Minor Circuit—Punch Out!! ♪"
Optional auto-music level set to the fight theme from Punch-Out!! (1987).
7:43 "Midnight Power-ups"
Minor puzzles involving the unusual behavior of various power-ups at night.
11:34 "♪ Dark Lord Bowser ♪"
A two-part boss battle incorporating a looping recreation of the "Ultimate Bowser" theme from Super Mario 64.
13:56 "Underground Garden"
3D World style piranha creeper platforming.
16:15 "Trick Track Trek"
ON/OFF blue lift platforming and music inspired by the mine levels from Donkey Kong Country.
18:34 "♪ Axel F—Monsters vs. Aliens ♪"
Optional auto-music level set to the tune of the president's sick jam from the DreamWorks film Monsters vs Aliens (2009).
19:49 "Super Mario Bros. 3 (1–Fortress)"
A fairly straightforward recreation of Super Mario Bros. 3's first fortress (warp whistle not included).

Jampin' around with more gameplay and music inspired by the Donkey Kong Country franchise.

Featuring the instantly-recognizable melody of Coldplay's 2002 song of the same name.
33:26 "The Shifting Tower of Doom"
