It took a couple of days, but we've finally figured out how to load custom levels in the Switch 2 edition of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

My latest Super Mario Bros. Wonder level features several custom rainbow-related mechanics, including spiky rainbows that are put to use during the level's skydiving wonder effect.

why does this keep happening

I gamed

My latest Super Mario Bros. Wonder level features several custom mechanics, including grinders that become bouncy during the wonder effect.

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, when the player walks directly under a light beam wearing the Invisibility Badge, they temporarily become visible. This obscure mechanic is basically unused in the original game, but my latest custom level revolves around it.

I had a silly idea after replaying Super Mario Galaxy 2

My latest Super Mario Bros. Wonder level revolves around a custom magnet mechanic, which also affects the metal player wonder effect.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder was released two years ago today.

My latest Super Mario Bros. Wonder level revolves around a custom "mirage" gimmick, where fake purple platforms temporarily disappear to reveal the location of the real blue platforms.

Rosalina is in Super Mario Bros. Wonder's Switch 2 DLC.

I am obviously very excited for Wonder's Switch 2 DLC, but I'm also very thrown off by the new talking flower voice actor. I know this was also the case in Mario Party Jamboree TV, but assuming the old voicelines won't be replaced, having the two voices side by side will be odd.

My first custom Mario Wonder "Search Party" level pushes the game's playable background area feature to its limit by stacking several layers on top of each other.

Me and some friends spent over a week remaking the entirety of Super Mario Bros. 1-1 on Wplace. It's made up of over 250k pixels, so it would've taken way longer to make if not for all the kind strangers who helped out.

Really interesting how Donkey Kong Bananza not only allows you to skip the Freezer Layer entirely, but if you progress the story and then backtrack to the world at a later point, the game accounts for this by removing its boss fights and just handing you the bananas.

thanks YouTube...

slightly bigger number, thanks!

Luigi is looking fly.

The wonder effect of my latest custom Super Mario Bros. Wonder level uses multiple "Rift Mario" clones at the same time, which the original game fully supports, but never took advantage of for some reason.

probably the worst thing I've ever made

If you've been wondering why it feels like most of the sections of Mario Kart World's Rainbow Road appear out of nowhere, that's because they do.

Hilariously, one of the groups of obstacles Mario Kart World's Kamek item can spawn in front of the drivers is a bunch of Bob-ombs.

I'm so glad Mario Kart World seems to feature plenty of relatively difficult P Switch missions. Also, notice how boost panels flip depending on which direction you approach them from.

My first custom Super Mario Bros. Wonder Badge Challenge level uses the Safety Bounce badge, which allows the player to bounce on lava once per jump.

This is getting confusing

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the state of on/off blocks carries through to playable background areas, so I made use of that in my latest custom level.

The custom wonder effect in my latest Super Mario Bros. Wonder level makes the "Skedaddler" enemies spawn special blocks that they can run across.

AURASCOPE HAS BEEN FULLY FUNDED! We genuinely can't thank you all enough for helping us get to where we are! Thank you all so much! 🎉🎉🎉

Exploration is key to finding all sorts of little secrets in Aurascope!

Aurascope has already reached 50% of it’s funding in less than 24 hours! Thank you dearly to everyone who’s donated to make our game shine as bright as it can! 🌟 (Also yes, you can pet the dog in Aurascope.)

🟢Aurascope's Kickstarter is now LIVE! We're so excited so finally be able to get this indie game off the ground! Please spread the word! 💕

In my latest Super Mario Bros. Wonder level, by making a custom version of the sloped lava actor, I managed to hook up its rotation to a pulley, which led to the creation of this fun bonus room.

5 days left until the Kickstarter launch! Here's a sneak peak at some of the rewards you can get for backing Aurascope! Here we have the digital soundtrack, T-shirt, poster, and pin. 👀

I've joined the development team of the indie 2D platformer Aurascope, I'll be helping out with its level design! The game's Kickstarter campaign launches April 14th, so check it out if you're interested!

I feel like the Switch 2 box design would look a lot better if the logo wasn't so tiny.

Nintendo's parental controls video shows the return of the feather item, and not in battle mode.

The Mario Kart World map shows that the game brings back 3 SNES Mario Circuits at once

maybe I really do work for Nintendo lol

My latest custom Super Mario Bros. Wonder level is all about riding "Shoomp" enemies up and down sloped lava sections, including during its wonder effect.

My latest Super Mario Bros. Wonder level features a bunch of custom assets, including a giant version of the original game's "Rrrumba" enemy during its Wonder effect.

Another one of these: Wonder features this unused interaction where shells can bounce on Sugarstars, so I used that for a bonus room and also (totally intentionally) to do a shell-jump.

My latest Super Mario Bros. Wonder level features custom bouncy balloons, which are used in a large variety of setups.

Was poking around Nintendo's recruiting website and found something super interesting: Mario Wonder key art concepts!

After hours of hard work, I have finally released a brand new mod for Super Mario 3D Land. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko2C...

One of my favourite aspects of designing custom Super Mario Bros. Wonder levels is designing puzzle bonus rooms that take advantage of obscure mechanics and interactions.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder's Bulrush stampede wonder effect is quite flexible, which my latest custom level takes advantage of to make this unique section.

Between these Wonder logos and some of the beta NSMB2 logos, it's interesting how Nintendo has repeatedly considered going for a more cartoon-y look for their modern 2D Mario logos, before deciding to use the arguably less interesting 3D rendered look.

Apart from the nifty logos, the only design changes I can spot are the colour schemes of the elephant suit, pipe, dragon and wubba.
