| Mario Maker encourages you to create Mario levels, but the setup breaks the core element of extra lives. You can replay a level as many times as you want, and when you do the 100 Mario challenge you have more than enough lives (if you skip the stupid kaizo levels) to complete any level that's thrown at you even if you die a couple of times per level. In the 100 Mario challenge, you also have a arbitrary cap of earning 3 lives per level. This makes putting coins and extra lives in levels superfluous. There's no real reason to do so other than convention, because players have no motivation to collect them. In regular games, you might go out of your way to collect coins to build up your stock of lives for more difficult levels, so levels could be designed with risk/reward scenarios for coin placement. In this game, who's going to bother? I've been dutifully trying to place coins in ways that I think might coax players into taking a risk, but I'm starting to think that should be limited to power-ups and I should ignore coins and lives altogether.

Super Mario Maker IS GOOD by 09/27/2015, 8:54pm PDT  They're already using this to make "art" games by 09/27/2015, 9:12pm PDT Tim Rogers loves this shit NT by 09/27/2015, 9:26pm PDT I mean I guess I don't mind art games if they're satirizing art games. NT by 09/28/2015, 11:41am PDT This line should be added to the "Are Games Art" section of the FAQ NT by 10/04/2015, 9:18pm PDT Well, I found all of the Kaizo levels in the community levels by 09/28/2015, 9:32pm PDT A week later: still great by 10/04/2015, 5:02pm PDT So I guess I should buy this fucking WiiU thing huh? NT by 10/04/2015, 6:28pm PDT I like the "after 9/11" chart for Mario level popularity NT by 10/06/2015, 9:28pm PDT Coins and 1-ups are broken by 10/06/2015, 5:28pm PDT |
