Geekscape’s ‘Super Mario Maker’ Course Of The Week: Captain Toad

Super Mario Maker is an amazingly creative game.

While the item selection could be expanded  upon, droves of people have found many creative ways to use it to their advantage. You’ll almost never see a course that looks the same, or a course that you won’t have fun playing (unless you’re someone like me who’s already gotten sick of the endless Automatic Mario levels, that is). So the question is: What are some really awesome levels that are really creative with how they use the course tools, or courses that are just really fun to play through?

Every Friday starting today, I’ll be choosing a course from the game that I think really shows the creativity of what people can do using Super Mario Maker. First up, Captain Toad By Evin CG.

For those who don’t know, this level is based off of the incredibly popular side game in Super Mario 3D World (also based off the full game released last year.) In this level, you play as Captain Toad, and will try to navigate your way to the power star at the end of the level. A very fun aspect about this level is the fact that it borrows many gameplay elements from the actual game. From climbing vines, and not being able to jump, (jumping makes you hit an invisible block with Boos in them) it’s great to see the source material being used properly. This makes the level feel very authentic, and can really make you think at points throughout the level. 

There are also a good handful of secrets to find. Can you find all 3 gems (substituted as 1-UPS) in the level? There are plenty of other secrets and fun surprises too, but I’ll save those for when you try it out yourself. If you would like to try out this level here’s the course ID: 1548-0000-003E-EF15. If you’d like to recommend a course, then comment below and I just might feature it!

Until next week, keep playing and creating awesome levels!
