Super Mario Maker Tips

Super Mario Maker can be overwhelming, especially when seeing all the tools available and the incredible stages made by the community already. While the game gives you a lot of tools to publish, even attempting to gradually teach you the mechanics, you can still find yourself struggling to make your vision of the Mushroom Kingdom a reality. 

We here at Noobfeed want to help and have crafted some tips to get your creative juices flowing and start crafting engaging, and possibly impossible, Mario levels.

Real the E-Manual

Sounds boring, you obviously want to start playing. However Nintendo has put a lot of effort into crafting this E-Manual to make it not only interactive and entertaining, but useful in teaching basic mechanics. 

Play Other Creations

The best way to learn to do act first. Playing the 10-Mario Challenge and Course World, find something you like and start messing around. You can reverse-engineer the stage to see how it works or attempt to make your own changes to it.

Playing other courses from the community is another way to see how other players are using Super Mario Maker’s tools. Perhaps you’ll see something you not only enjoyed but can improve on.

Start Small

If you’re going to build a stage from scratch don’t try to tailor to everyone’s style. Pick the audience you want to reach, those seeking a challenge or perhaps someone wants something simple. Create simple stages at first and start to increasingly challenge yourself to make the stages more elaborate. Small steps, after all even Mario started with baby steps and jumps.
