    That sounds awesome, it seems like the game has quite a lot to do. I only occasionally played Mario Kart Wii, but I've played MK64 a lot. It sounds like the series has evolved a lot!

    I really enjoy it. The last Mario Kart game I owned was Double Dash. I never bought it for Wii but played it once or twice at a friends. This one has a lot especially if you get the DLC. With the DLC you have a total of 48 (32 default) courses to race on. Then there's 50 CC, 100 CC, 150 CC, Mirror and 200 CC. Then online as well. I got the game for 50 bucks used and it was well worth it.

    Picked up New Super Mario Bros Wii U today used for 50 as well. That and DK will be great side scrollers. Probably end my summer playing the Wii U. Unless I get asked to play MKX online I don't know if I'll really play my PS4 lol.

    Somehow I missed this post haha. I might have to pick up Mario Kart Wii U at some point, seems like a lot of content.

    But in other news, Super Mario Maker should be coming from Amazon for me tomorrow, can't wait to play it. I'm not sure if I'm going to wait the whole 9 days to unlock all the content or just set my Wii U clock forward...

    Hyped for that game, but I'm waiting on that new big Zelda game to drop, because I don't think it will be on the NX, because Nintendo denied it.

    I picked my copy up today after work! It's weird because in Europe when you play in the editor for 15 minute intervals new sets of materials become available. However, here in North America it's doing that 9 day thing.

    I made a level and uploaded it. I mean it's super basic and easy because all I could really use were goomba's, turtles and plants in tubes but still. It's got a bit of a sneaky outcome to it I guess lol.

    It's called "Use the hint..." from Clive if you maybe come across it.

    I read online if you load up the editor screen with lots of blocks, the next items will come to you earlier (in the U.S.) and then you keep doing that after each set of items so you can get them all in a day. I haven't played yet, just got it like an hour ago, but I'll look for your level!

    Edit: @Clive just spent a couple hours spamming the blocks across a blank level and using new items as they're available and now I've unlocked all items! Excited to make a full level tomorrow

    Lol yeah I was just about to post that here!

    I kind of regret it a little. Mainly b/c it throws A LOT of cool things at you. But I'm pumped because I now have Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World themes. This game is incredible. Like, I'm finding when I was at the gym last night and/or away from playing it I'm starting to think of ideas to create levels haha. I've got some ideas, with all the tools that are unlocked now I think my dinky 1-1.5 hour made levels are going to expand to like 5 hour ones lol.

    @Loyalty add me if you want: Clive_Maybach
    I'll post some levels I made in here afterwards. Also if you have any I'll try them out. I uploaded 2 so far but they were extremely limited with the first 2 rows of items available.

    ha nice! I thought I might regret it too but it's nice to have everything available when you think of something new.

    Sweet, I'll have to figure out how to add you tonight. If you get a chance to add me sooner, my name is kstar3000. Looking forward to checking out your levels!

    I spent about 2 hours this morning making an airship course, hopefully I can finish and upload tonight.

    Siick, I got some ideas but sadly go to get some work done and then heading out tonight. Plan to get some work done now and then maybe try to squeeze in an hour or 2 before heading out lol. Games addictive.

    I'll add you when I go on.

    Awesome! I'll try it out soon. Also I added you as a friend so I think I can follow your courses

    Here's my first course, it already had 2 stars when I checked this morning. It's not very hard though, 8/10 people had beaten it

    Royal Skyness
    6947-0000-002B-09C2

    Edit: your Bowser Fun House is cool! I kept dying at the thwomps/flying koopas in room 2 before I realized I can make the thwomps k--- the koopas for me haha. That platform part in room 3 was tough too. I died there and gave up for now since I should be doing chores but I'll try again later!

    I'm about to try yours out now. Yeah the part 3 part can be rough. Problem is as I was testing it there wasn't 1 consistent way to beat it. Like I'd go ok that worked. Then play it again and it wouldn't work so you really got to react well there. The final part is a bit easy.

    After trying and then erasing 2 new levels I can TOTALLY see why they had the 9 day limit thing in effect. I start out the level and then see all these elements and think hmmm I should do this, I should do that when really no. Just stick to 1 or 2 concepts pulled off well haha.

    Haha yeah I can see why they wanted to spread it over 9 days too. I'm slowly working on a Bowser castle level using Super Mario Bros U since it looks pretty cool, but trying to keep it in theme and not use every item I have access to haha

    I uploaded the sequel to Bowser Junior's Fun House! rightfully called Bower's Fun House! I think it might be my best level so far. I started it on the weekend but haven't been able to play. I'm sure there are better levels out there but this one I think is pretty good and not extremely hard.

    I'll put the code level in at when I get back to playing tonight.

    Just tried your new Bowser's Fun Castle and I s----d at it haha. I got past those magikoopas at the beginning a few times but haven't got much further than that, it's pretty tough! I saw it has a 0 percent completion haha

    I also tried Bowser Jr's again and got to the middle of room 4 but accidentally killed that winged Koopa you need to jump on to get up so I was screwed and couldn't move on. I saw that one has a low completion too! I don't feel as bad when I lose then. I was gonna star this one but couldn't figure out how to star it unless I beat it.. Also I really wish they allowed us to have checkpoint flags in levels, it sucks starting over on a long level. Maybe it can be dlc

    Played and beat the other 2 levels you made, thanks for making them easier.

    Also- uploaded my second level tonight. It's called Don't Free the Prisoners. Basically the P-switches free the prisoners so if you don't press them, you don't have to fight bad guys. So it takes patience. Not sure how hard it is yet til some people play!

    Haha d---, ya that's true on the checkpoints. Especially going back or doing a sublevel it makes things much tougher. If you hit that turtle and he goes away on Bowser Jr's level I believe you can go all the way to the left so that the turtle goes off screen and then you can go back. He should reappear!

    Post your code for your second level and I'll give it a shot. I may make a SMB3 level this weekend. I've been super busy with work this week so I haven't been able to play or make anything really.

    Cool, good tip! I'll try your Bowser ones again. I'll def try your new SMB3 when it's ready.

    Here's the Prisoners one from last night (SMBU):
    5DB9-0000-0049-4DB1

    Also made another today, it's like a puzzle idea I just had so I had to make it real quick. If you have free time check it out. Here's the code (SMB3): 6E73-0000-004D-EEE4

    I realized I should probably slow down on uploading since I only have 10 spots. I know you unlock more spots after 50 stars but I'm only at 4 haha. Not enough people are playing mine, maybe I'll have to go on forums and advertise or something

    The prisoner one was cool! I died once. Because I thought there might be a secret atop that part when you're crossing the fire lake. Accidentally hit a P switch to go into the lava. Not overly difficult which is good b/c I'm finding I might be making mine a bit too tough lol.

    Lol at Bun 524 pipes. I ALWAYS got through on the last choice of the 3 for each second. You kind of gave me a cool idea with this though. I didn't know you could have more than 1 pip lead to a sublevel. So I may add 2 alternatives in a level to a sub level. A more secret type to get you to the sub level where it's easy and it takes you to the end of a level on exit versus a regular sub level where you have to go through it.

    The issue I think though is the no checkpoints. As you can tell my levels are pretty long. They can be tough but also long, you die when you're jut about to meet Bowser or Bowser Jr. for example you got to do the Whooole thing over.
