(This video is now available for everyone)

Hello!

I knew I definitely wanted to make a video about Super Mario Maker 2. It combines level design and Mario - how could I not! And so I decided the best thing to do would be to make a beginner's tutorial to making your first level. It's got 10 steps and is packed with ideas, best practices, and tips.

I'm going to release this one later today, while the game is still brand new - so, apologies, but I'm gonna break the 24 hour exclusivity reward for this one! I'll make it up to you by giving you the next video longer in advance.

Thanks for your support. Chat soon!

Making your very first Super Mario Maker 2 stage is a daunting prospect. What parts should you use? How should you lay them out? How do you pace your level, and make a fair challenge? To help you clear this hurdle, here are ten steps you can follow to get your first level made, published, and open for feedback.

I said yesterday on your playlist video that I was looking forward to seeing what you would cook up with this game and now it's already here, nice! :D

Great idea for a video. I don't own either game, but I've considered it, and the most intimidating part is that blank canvas 'how do I start this?' feeling.

Thanks Mark! I've tried following your design principles in the stage I created, which is designed around teaching players the jump-twist mechanic in SM3DW. Give it a go if you have time! R8K-DJN-8PF

I really want to buy this game and build an own level based on your principals. And I want to try the levels of the other guys here. I hope it is in sale soon :)

I was planning on making another level with the claws, and I'll admit, I may just steal that on/off track idea. Expect to see my take on that soon!

I would love it if you could check out my level! It's my first one and i based it all around the bumpers. f3f-4f7-8rf
