What NOT to Make (Levels)

[asiankid12345678]

this is a perfect video that can make the kaizo mario world creators learn their lessons.

[mcdev928coolman]

DONT CALL IT VICORTY TRAP ITS CALLED A KAIZO TRAP

[MrGuilherme404]

idk about you butg i found 2:58 funny as hell

[neutronsareawesome]

what about using the bottom row for hiding stuff like 3ups or something like that?

Anyways, great video and hilarious at the same time.

[Firefoxred]

Personally the worst thing people can do are the mile long one block bridges people keep doing. Yeah it may be challenging but not every rom hack I try needs to have them, especially if a cape is not offered.

[DudeGuyPerson64]

I don't get 2:52

[porygonlover322]

1:07 It's like Evil Otto all over again...

1:25 I actually kind of like that palette, except for the glitchiness.

1:42 If I saw that in a hack, not knowing the origin, I'd think it was pretty cool. Nice ice castle vibe.

4:35 See: Mario Galaxy.

Also, you forgot "stuffing the level full of crap", though that was implicit in some of the others. 50 Chargin' Chucks in a row is not fun.

[jjhrogers]

im unsure if anyone has said this but i think you kaizo has 90% of these things in his game, super kaizo world if anyone is interested xD

and the only really annoying thing i find with most smw hacks is the invisible coin blocks, great video though :) and people please show this video to everyone who makes smw hacks please and thank you

[SamaBrat]

i loled at victory death

[XempireX18]

its not only bad GRAMMAR, its bad SPELLING too

[BuzzNBen21]

At 0:18, you should have an annotation for mario saying "Well this is unfitting..." xD

[afrolichesmain777]

i feel like hidden enemies, layer 3 vanish, must activate , and using the bottom row should be thing to put in a hack, but used properly, just saying :p

[InsaneBuzzNeini]

I love how at 1:58 Mario has enough time to do his little pose before falling to his death. Reminds me of Looney Tunes.

[thetoolbox112394]

lol 1:06

[wizdoodle]

victory death is ok if there is like a p switch and make coins turn into boxes

[Lanthem]

@wizdoodle dude... not at all :P

[molitva2007]

fortunately we have smwcentral to avoid this kind of crap

[soakgameLLC]

9 people made fucked up levels.

S::G

[Ericthestickman]

thumbs up if you took of the annitions when mario cursed XD

[dragonmasterlance123]

I used to think the whole dying at the end thing was kinda clever, like having to create a path or block it. But now its really over done its ridiculous.

[TheRayadicto01]

4:49 :D

[thomasfan69]

1:16

Mario: Oops, I missed half of the coin

[VasaaL]

victory death is essential in the kaizo levels ^^

[pingy86119pivoter]

Pause it at 4:52 and turn on anotations :P

[fernager1]

i pissed myself from laughing at 4:51

[Aerowind17]

Kaizo Mario must've got its ideas from here.

[ComradeFrana]

"Hidden Enemies"

*cough* Kinda Sorta Think, second half *cough*

[PucciPuppy]

No 5:56

[ikethegamer1]

Hmm... bad grammer, huh? That's only a bit hypocritical. :) lol. jk. This helped a lot, thanks.

[ilovethevopo]

The obscene gestures, messed up pallets and enemy sprites look awesome. Why you gotta hate?

[ShadwSonic]

Some of the things in this video are acceptable, BUT ONLY IF THE PLAYER SHOULD EXPECT IT. These tend to be either puzzle hacks (solving the Kaizo Trap or glitch) or parodies of truly bad hacks (very difficult to pull off).

[TeamCritique]

That was great.

[BETTYJOYA]

? block=note block

tile=? block

cloud=death

[DN4lifeman]

0:12, the last line: 'U suck azz!! -one!- 11! The one was hilarious xD

[Sly88Frye]

The only thing I didn't see mentioned was the random invisible blocks that get in your way when you try to jump across a cliff and as a result, the invisible block makes sure you fall down the cliff.

This was indeed a very useful video though. And, yeah, I've seen those romhacks with the floating clapper things or whatever and it looks so damn retarded and it's sadistic too.

[MikeYoshi56]

The "default tiles" can actually be useful if the theme is set up to do so. Especially with the palettes changed on them.

[lukas10111]

Bad grammar? You also have bad grammar. XD LOL

[thecherryboo1]

The Obscene gestures part isnt from levels, its from YYCHR.

[thecommonerror]

how did u crash the rom?

[Emiliano199810]

2:00 LOL

[Emiliano199810]

@Emiliano199810 I mean 1:57

[pingy86119pivoter]

THUMBS UP if you turned off the anotations at 4:50

[Happytreefriendsfan3]

0:06 (not looking at annotation)

its ironic how you talking not to put bad grammar,and you already spelled it wrong yourself xD

[koleman123456]

4:52 i lol'd! thumbs up if you did

[SonicTehEchidna]

i lolled when the cloud killed mario

[heymrk]

Man, I'm gonna make the most heartless hack ever now.

[bunnyluve]

4:35

MoltovMarioWorld: MOOOOOOOONNNSS!!!!!!

[Sneak4000]

In my book, mean tricks are ALWAYS a good thing!

[greengreens9]

You forgot "No finish line."

[cyphermur9t]

@greengreens9 5:51

[MrAlexchu92]

@cyphermur9t *after 100 years*......where's Part 2!!!!

[chavezery]

i lol'd at blind jumping, victory death, dying at the start, floating munchers, mean tricks, trapped, must activate switch, and using the bottom row, because everybody that makes kaizo hacks adds any or all of them. :P

[wurmi32]

hey i could use the mean trick if i use an message box that says u must atleast be tall to use this pipe!

[Ragnarok9x]

victory death = impossible kaizo trap

[retardedmario1]

about the free lives. im making a smw hack and at the end of the game in the credits level (flat ground with floating text as credits, dotn worry its not shit im a hack pro) and in this level you get over 300 lives. is this okay? i mean it is at the very last level after the final boss.

[Nicolasroxas]

4:27, that would be in kazio hacks :P

[steeledminer616]

If you ask me... the "Must Press Switch" is acceptable IF you give warning to make sure they do so.

[steeledminer616]

I dunno... I like the messed up block behaviour... especially the death cloud >:D

[steeledminer616]

Bad grammar and language grammar failz lol?

[Ryanlauph]

0:14 EPIC FLAT LAND O_O

[florifan12]

2:12 Well, actually, that happened to me in real life, playing a real Super Mario World in a real Super Nintendo. Somehow, Mario died at the intro and I got trapped =/.

[greengreens9]

@florifan12 How did it happen? Just randomly for no reason?

[florifan12]

@greengreens9 Yes, it just happened.

Mario was jumping but this time he landed just infront of a Koopa and he died O.o

Then, I got trapped and had to resset my Super Nintendo.

I have a video but, it is a low quality one.

[fkagahsdfs]

how did you make that cloud? XD

[ThePikmin123321]

@fkagahsdfs i think he used yy-chr

[cyphermur9t]

@ThePikmin123321

Actually I used the 16x16 editor and made the cloud act like a muncher.

[ThePikmin123321]

@cyphermur9t oh that's cool

[retardedmario1]

in lunar magic open the 16x16 tile editor window, go to the clod tile and click 16x16 attirbutes. then type 12F in the gameplay properties thing and it will act like a chomper.

[MightyUltraBoss]

Not allowed obscene gestures? are YOU sure??

[cyphermur9t]

@MightyUltraBoss lol

[MistahGamah]

@MightyUltraBoss The first time I watched this, at Obscene Gestures, I personally went in to YY-CHR and modified my graphic to a middle finger :D

[Cloaytonem2]

A lot of this applies to game making in general.

[MCVenomOS]

4:27 Now there's a Kaizo trap I haven't seen before xD

[MegaZack30]

4:36 too many free lives are bad?! lots of free lives is a great thing to have for any game for any console :D. 1 reason, 1 REASON, GIVE ME 1 REASON TO NOT HAVE LOTS OF FREE LIVES DX<!!!!!!!!!!1!!11!

[MCVenomOS]

@MegaZack30 Because it makes the entire life system meaningless. Which I guess is okay if that's what you're aiming for, but taking away any sort of penalty for death doesn't sit well with players looking for a challenge.

See also: TVTropes - Meaningless Lives & Death Is a Slap on the Wrist

[retardedmario1]

because it makes the game too easy. if you have an easy game then its boring but if its hard (but not too hard) then people will want to keep trying. making a fun game.

[Kapowee908]

I'd like to see a level with every single one of these in it.

[greengreens9]

0:54 Evil Cloud ^_^

[Senjan]

"Bad grammer" :)

[daltonk7]

lol at 4:53

[23cool1234]

Victory death is ok if there is an alternate exit that doesn't kill you IF it is supposed to be really hard. Otherwise I agree with you.

[DoctorCooper293]

@23cool1234 I don't think there should ever be a victory death. I mean, if you beat the level, you have beaten the level. Once you pass the goal the challenge should be over.

[23cool1234]

@DoctorCooper293 I don't mean hard, but I mean like Kaizo(or harder) hard.

[DoctorCooper293]

@23cool1234 Oh, I see. In my opinion almost anything is acceptable in kaizo hacks.

[InsaneBuzzNeini]

Your censor was a little bit late there. :P

[djohnson87]

what all causes glitches graphics? I know of: yoshi and baby yoshi on the same screen, yoshi and fireball on same screen (the one that only appears in castles), giant boo and other ghosts not in ghosthouse (i think this glitches them).

[mazecraze96]

@djohnson87 glitched graphics have numerous causes, like, the game cartridge could be dirty

[djohnson87]

@mazecraze96 i'm referring to Lunar Magic.

[Wiimeiser]

I'd do that mean tricks thing except I'd give you a Yoshi.

[TheSlicaaawr]

the evil cloud.

[chilledxsocks]

The glitch with Dragon Coins across subscreen boundaries doesn't just apply to Dragon Coins. If you put any extended object with an animation (such as a climbing net door or the switch palace switches) across a screen boundary, it will glitch and cause a cutoff.

[chilledxsocks]

Also, notice how when Mario collects the Dragon Coin on the left, it gives him TWO coins instead of just one. This is because touching the bottom half of a Dragon Coin placed across the subscreen boundary will cause you to repeatedly and continuously collect it without it disappearing, eventually resulting in ridiculous amounts of 1ups. Once you touch the top half, however, the coin gets cut-off and you can't get infinite lives from the remaining bottom half, as shown in the video.

[BlackWidowGamer7]

Everything in this video has already been done. Azureblade49 proved that.

[DomesticMoose7]

@BlackWidowGamer7 Poor Azure..

[SSZLegacy]

0:14 Is Epic! OMG MY GOD H4XX0RZ

[kaizoisevil]

@NWreaper if you want to make it challenging, some of this can be put in, but not all of it. There are good challenging hacks and bad challenging hacks.

[AmbassadorArt2]

@pokepal1996 To an extent, but not to the extent of not being able to progress in the level, or having to die if it's not pressed. If it like, opens a path to a pipe and is >optional< than it's considered fine. It's also acceptable that you require a switch to progress, as long as you make a side-exit or something. (I don't really like that idea though.)

[djohnson87]

floating munchers are annoying to even look at. Why can't people put some cement bricks underneath them at least?

[kaizoisevil]

@djohnson87 well, if by cement brick you mean map 16 tile that uses cement graphics but acts like nothing, allowing you to pass through, I guess. But it is easier to change the graphics to something other than munchers

[268Danilo]

@cyphermur9t every time i put a dragon coin and grab it in game they divide like in 1:10. how can i avoid it man? and WTF? you can edit the INTRO??!! XD

[aj6666]

@268Danilo For the dragon coin: open your level in lunar magic and press F2, you will notice the screen will divide into several subscreens divded by green lines and labeled with numbers like (00: top; 00:botom; 01: top; 01: bottmom) ect. if the dragon coin is in the green line that separates the top subscreens with the bottom subscreen it will glitch up, so you just have to move it.

I'm too lazy to explain how to edit the intro, it's not verry hard, but it's long. Try looking for a tutorial.

[lazicful]

Why is mario so afraid of that bonus level? XD

[monster12034506]

@lazicful He is trapped there forever if that happens

[lazicful]

@monster12034506 Lol. :D

[trogdorburninating]

LOL 1:55

[Youubeian]

Obscene gestures had me rolling.

[Matej1the1dinosaur22]

people are not going to do this (i guess) but there's one thing you did wrong. you tolled BROWSER (i mean bowser) what kind of level to make so that mario will never beat him

[coolistmo]

3:46 LOL reminds me of kaizo

[TheStickKid]

What if they were making an I Wanna Be The Guy spoof level or a fake glitch level?

[sombrerense]

i dont remeber good i think is atlanoitte or a liked thing

[lucariokiddo]

lol grammer! and it wasn't rly bad grammar. it was leet speech. lol

[GreenDeathFlavor]

I don't know about you but Mario flippin the bird is AWESOME! :D

[ypoora1]

i modded level 00 so you can use it>:)

[Ryanlauph]

@ypoora1 Wouldn't that crash the bonus game?

[ypoora1]

@Ryanlauph I'm looking for somthing that disables it.

[kierany9]

Most of these apply to every platform game from sonic to tux

[Jeremias98667]

ROFLMAO, mario was doing the f*ck you!

[Alphabasicnumeric]

Kaizo did 1:46

[Alphabasicnumeric]

@Alphabasicnumeric Actually, Kaizo did a lot of this stuff. Must be a really bad romhack.

[camwoodstock]

i used bad grammar to make it seem like a CP bay bee was talking. xD

[Venom45000VR]

9001 views..

ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!

[maltetheg]

thumps up if youll copy the obscene gestures into your own hack (like i did^^).

[Venom45000VR]

lol at victory death, dying at the start and mean tricks!

:D!!!

[TheCodingProductions]

That was cool, *fravorited*

[SoulsEdge001]

some of it was ok like default tiles if your story line is bowser creating his own universe then that level could be in the process of bowser mutating it just not one peice of ground in the middle of the air that you have to get to that is what you all call crap! comes out of dogs' bums lol

[maltetheg]

man that was so funny xD

espacially because of mario facepalming all the time.

though i dont agree with you on all points:

1. obscene gestures made me laugh, as well as the p-switch trap.

2. there is not too much wrong with making someone die at the beginning in kaizo like hacks and floating munchers aren't that big of a deal either.

3. the block were quite funny too

4. add "do not make a bowser fight at the end for gods sake"

continue this plz :D

[jasndk]

About 80% of those make fun roms.

[Thaalanx]

@jasndk Fun for you, maybe, but not for the people playing them.

[jasndk]

@Thaalanx I play them, and its fun.

[Infern0able]

Kaizo edition has victory death, so why can't we have victory death??

[Elecrusher]

I have to know how people can submit these utter crap monstrosities in good conscience.

[shurdi3]

0:05

OH THE IRONY!!!!!!!

[TheJustinisom]

victory death=kizo trap

[agie777777]

victory death is kaizo-ish

[sharingan534]

how you make mario flip you of

[TheBulzomeGuides]

Thank You! Finally, someone showed this! I favored this!

[robloxman41]

but i like kaizo trapz!

[mamamario64ds]

2:00 TERMINATOR REFERENCE LOL

[Psyblader501]

Well some of this can be in a hack if you want to make it crazy

[Blaadiblaadiblaa]

I think hidden enemies can be a good addition in the right places, the original game has them too. But if they don't move from behind the cover then it's just annoying.

[jackrc11]

3:03 Sopranos!

[soniclord22221]

how did you make that coin trap in the mean tricks part?

[iOwnMoms]

how do you fix the glitched graphics?

[DJGalax44]

This is hilarious.

[FlashFireEX]

Quite a few of these make a fun rom in my opinion. :P

[UltimateGamersMBI]

cloud of death 1:09

[Kevinskie555]

hahah, you should totally make a hack out of this, and then put it on SMWC. =)

(Messages boxes tell you the things ''What not to do''.

[thehoundsquad]

How do you fix the yoshi coin boundary thing??

[RandomlineProduction]

this video gives me some good ideas.

[NemesisTheZombieKing]

lol mario flipped you off

[6thhokagephil]

2:02 the best dick move ever XD its stupid but funny as hell

[MechaAshura]

dude what is on that grass, great video though, but obscene jestures add some spice to it

[ThePyroWall]

didn't ALL of that happen in syobon action XD

[blechkitti]

Sorry, but I don't understand that "not enabled sprite buoyancy"

[SuperMarioLink64]

I lold at Mean Trick 2. If you find an area EXACTLY like the level in Mean Trick 2, don't press the P-Switch below the cement block or, *floor Callapes* you'll die.

[Deboogs]

Nice video, but why don't you like the Kaizo Trap?

[MechaNintendoMast]

I saw a lot of Kazio around 2:00-20

[andon217]

Coin block traps........

*Smashs head on keyboard*

[diamondbacker381]

Well, I'll be honest. while I do agree with most of those rules, I do have a couple I have issues with...

1. The whole dishonest block thing. I personally think it can lead to some cool levels, as long as your consistent with what they do, and give warnings if they are malicious. (such as a red ! block inserted as a tile or something.)

2. not using the bottom row. as above, it can lead to some funny things. as long as you don't have it run off like it does in the video.

I'll continue this.

[somepartsareme]

well, victory deaths can be fun puzzles to solve, and deaths at the start can be fun things if they have to do with the levels theme.

[Ashanmaril]

@ 2:52 I though my youtube player froze. lol

[TriangulateStudios]

Umm... some of those mentioned are kaizo traps.. just so you know

[LUIGIYOSHI112]

You know the Background Gabage, on all my Layer 2 levels they appear automaticly, how would I get rid of them?

[javily6]

that second mean trick made me laugh...A LOT

[FUGGNUTZ]

4:21 - 4:33 ROFL

[SaixXIsaVII]

You did an awesome job on this!

[Samuka97]

You said "Dragon Coin on a BOUNDRY Line"

xD

[theradiationking]

@Samuka97 lolololo xD xD xD...

dumbass...

[Pikman01]

I uh, was planning to make the first Reznor boss only playable with Green Switch Blocks... '^_^

[NAAMxLOOS]

@Pikman01

That's not much of a problem, if you'd just make sure it's clear the player has to activate the Green Switch, the player doesn't die right after entering the level, and having side-exits enabled so the player can leave without dying if he hasn't yet activated the Green Switch.

[CamTheKitty]

Basically most Kaizo things.

Which is about right :D

[kaizoisevil]

lol as soon as 4:50 began i knew what was going to happen. i just knew it.
