The servers for the original super mario maker game on the wii u are very close to shutting down. In order to reflect on that game, I thought it would be fun to look at the game’s sample courses! Unfortunately, unlike Mario Maker 2’s story mode levels, The Mario Maker 1 sample levels are almost all awful. So join me today as I rank all 68 of Mario Maker’s AWFUL Sample Courses!

    Honestly, I appreciate the sample courses because they were meant to provide inspiration by not being complete. They show you the semblance of an idea and then invite you to continue that idea on your own. However, they don’t really show you how to make a cohesive level, which SMM2 does a much better job at.
  • There's also the levels in the 3ds version, I remember having fun playing it and getting the goals they gave

    to be fair, 1-1 remixes werent overdone when they made this game

    The 3DS version has extended versions of some of these levels! As the resident owner of half of the copies that game has sold I thought it may be worth mentioning that.
  • Looking back, the Super Mario Challenge in the 3DS version was WAY better than the Sample Courses from the Wii U version. Some of the mediocre concepts they had back in the Sample Courses were expanded upon in the Super Mario Challenge, including some unique levels. The best part of the Super Mario Challenge was the Bonus Medals you could collect. Some of those medals were really challenging to collect and it makes me wish we could apply these Bonus Medals to our own levels in the Mario Maker games. Maybe in Super Mario Maker 3 if it happens?

    Who let the little Timmy’s on the dev team 💀
  • Fun fact: In German, the level 3:17 „Attack stack“ is called „Bowser der Hochstapler“ which translates to „Bowser the Imposter“ or „Bowser the high-stacker“ when taken literally.

    2:27 I genuinely don't understand why refreshing levels got so popular,that and the same copy pasted platform levels kinda ruined the popular tab

    I still can't believe the OG game came out without Keys Edit: and the scroll stop

    Mario Maker content is BACK
  • Just a reminder that SMM1 made you have to wait every day for a few more elements and themes, hence the generic "castle" and "airship" and "sub areas" demo levels

    You should rank every level in the Super Mario Challenge in Super Mario Maker for 3DS. It's quite similar to this but the levels are much better/longer/more interesting, with some of them being improved ports of these levels. They even have medals in them that reward you for beeting certain challenges in them like defeating all of one enemy or not pressing a certain button. I think you would have a lot of fun ranking them.
