Why does SMM2 have to be linked to the Switch. I've been following SMM (and SMM2) for the longest time, as it's easily a game I would sink massive amounts of time into, but I'm struggling buying an entire console for a single game. And yeah, I know the other games are good, but it's still hard to justify the price point.
I'd buy it (full price) in a heartbeat if it was on PC
Yeah, SMM2 is getting pretty close to tipping the scales for me getting a Switch. Other games I would get are Super Smash Bros Ultimate and Mario Odyssey.
@Veskah on this note, I remember watching a video where a guy reviewed a video game where you make other video games. It's in 3D, and all assets you make are automatically shared with others. I wish I could remember what it is called
I've already got a switch, now I just need to convince myself to get SMM2
But the more often you post your level codes, the harder it is to resist :P
It also doesn't help that nearly every YouTuber I follow has been doing almost exclusively SMM content for the last two weeks (which I'm completely ok with)
huh. I'm surprised that uploading/downloading (or the various types of runs) require the subscription. I mean, that part of play surely isn't that expensive
I may be totally wrong though :)
oh, actually, uploading does take more processing power than I'm giving them credit for.
because they have to validate that the level is legit
I know that's the right way to do things. Perhaps they simply have safeguards to ensure the level comes from a real machine, and ban people that break the rules
@NathanMerrill I've been watching a lot of Ross from Game Grumps (who is renowned for making ridiculously hard levels), and he frequently uses dev exits.
@MartinEnder Levels 2 and 3 were probably the most frustrating, although I think that's because I had the wrong solution for 3 (I tried trggvat fznyy fb V pbhyq trg gur pbvaf ol gur rkvg, naq gura tbvat onpx sbe gur sver sybjre. Guvf jnf ernyyl uneq orpnhfr V unq gb pnershyyl whzc bire gur gjb cvenaun cynagf thneqvat gur ragenapr, juvpu xvyyrq zr gur svefg gvzr).
2 was frustrating because the timing to get the koopa down was fairly precise, although it wasn't super hard to execute once I figured it out (and having an easy reset was great). I also sound a sort of soft-lock for level 2...
Level 4 was great, and probably the hardest of them all. I figured it out purely by accident TBH, but the solution was fun, and having a checkpoint right before was nice. Level 5 was thankfully straightforward, I liked how obvious the solution was even though it's not necessarily easy to do.
I also think I don't entirely understand the intended solution for 2, particularly with the claw
There were a couple levels where I took advantage of everything but blocks respawning.
@MartinEnder That killed me once
@MartinEnder It's not quite a soft-lock, but it took a couple tries before it let me out. If you get small and then hit the on/off block in the upper right corner, mario will get stuck in the blue blocks directly underneath it. To get out, you have to hit the on/off block again, which turns the blocks blocking the exit red.
I think in hindsight, puzzle 2 is too hard for where it is in the level.
