Ranking All 42 Gizmos In Super Mario Maker 2!

- There are a lot of stage elements to help players build levels in super mario maker 2. These include terrain, items, and enemies but there is also a fourth and very important group gizmos. This section basically acts as the "other" section for super mario maker 2's stage elements menu. Many of these gizmos range from being near useless like banzai bills to being nearly essential like on off blocks and checkpoints. So today I thought it would be fun to rank all 42 gizmos in super mario maker 2 from the worst to the best along with putting them into a tier list!

Keep in mind that anything I say here is speaking relatively to the other gizmos. If I say a certain gizmo is more niche or not as helpful I mean in comparison to the other gizmos and most are still helpful in certain scenarios! Hope you all enjoy my first real video of the new year!
Ok
ok
Sure
I don't understand... crates aren't hard to place.
Hey the snake block is global ground. Just throwing that out there. I think it should have been higher
Imagine how many more possibilities there would be if ON/OFF switches had yellow and green variants that turned on and off independently of the red and blue variant.
I dont get how this works. Do you mind explaining more?
@@c0rruption775 So there would be green and yellow on/off switches and blocks that would change between each other, as well as the blue and red ones that switch between each other. Hope this helps but Im not the best at explaining things! :)
@@blackcat_064 Cool
Ceave mentioned that a while back
(By a while I mean about a year)
Do you mean there would be a green/yellow variant of the on/off (that switches between red and blue) switch that would cycle between green/yellow blocks which would be a variant of the on off blocks. That would be cool. The game would have to keep track of the red/blue state and the green/yellow state.
“It has on/off block functionality which is always a plus”
Says the on/off mushroom trampoline is useless
In itself, the on/off mushroom trampoline is a gizmo as its own, and it can easily be replaced, since as he said, you could just put some on/off blocks on it
3DW would be worse off without any real semi solids
@@nightowl6055 yeah you can, but on off trampolines look better

The worst part about lifts not being in 3D world style is that THEY WERE IN 3D WORLD! WHY!
Even worse is that they’re even ON THE TITLE SCREEN
This goes to tracs as well we see some lifts that are attached to tracs...
Plus other games didnt had tracks too
And they didn't include enemy stacking
Honestly the restrictions just start feeling more like "you cannot place this specific power-up on an ? block if it's touching this specific tile and it's adjacent to this specific block unless your camera is on this specific spot" rather than actual restrictions that make sense

The snake block is actually useful for something it provides global ground and in addition to that I've seen a lot of creative uses with It in troll levels
But _"troll level"_ almost always means _"bad design",_ because an objective & fundamental must for a Mario level is that even if it's kaizo-style difficult, it's still fair at the level of play/player for which it's designed. A "troll level" in this series is either *(1)* one of the 0.001% exceptions so side-splittingly funny it's worth it, or *(2)* shouldn't have been made. And *(2)* is the safe assumption if you're not a global-top-10 designer and/or working at Nintendo
@@MegaZeta Just saying there ARE some good uses for snake blocks out there!
@@MegaZetatroll levels when done right can be similar to puzzle levels only you die alot (when i mean done right i mean creative trols and NOT pick a paths)
Key word: troll
@@MegaZeta I don't get why with other forms of levels if people dislike them they just don't play them, or say they don't like that style, but with -troll- slapstick levels (because let's be honest, the purpose of those levels is participative slapstick comedy rather than to just enrage people) when people don't like them they actively proclaim those levels should not exist or that they're inherently bad design. Citing kaizo-style here is even more ridiculous, since the reason most people don't like troll levels is they break the 100-Mario/endless runs (which kaizo also does for 99.9% of players), kaizo levels are far more likely to be boring and repetitive (kaizo trick consistency levels) and kaizo romhacks also tend to feature a lot of trolls.
9:55 The crates were another item that were very difficult to place.
*Places a crate*
He meant difficult to rank, not to actually place a crate
Snake blocks in tech levels? It's basically like a thwomp that detects players but you can decide exactly where it goes. Super useful. Same goes for seesaws, icicles and claws
Don’t thwomps already detect players?
@@taiscommentingaccountusedf1908Yeah, and snake blocks specifically _don't_ detect players, so the comment (and its 101 likes and counting) is doubly baffling
@@MegaZeta A bit late, but I was referring to the idea of an entity that triggers when the player touches a certain set of tiles. Obviously Thwomps have other major differences, I was just using it as an example since it's used in a lot of tech
Dont thwomps like...
Murder you
25:17 I like how odyssey switched his levels by going from a warp box to coming out of a pipe
Peak transition 👌👌👌
7:40 Proof that Odyssey is a pro Mario Maker player
Very Pro Gamer skills right there
Yep
Me as soon as a press that timestamp: *Gets hit with an ad*
Me: Perfect.
2:32 dream wants to know your location
Aslo a good use for snake blocks is moving items and a timer you activate manually.
Yeah he put down snake blocks but gave the benefit of the doubt to the 3D World moving blocks lol
Really, though, it isn't really that useful, though. Since there are other items you could use like on-off blocks, which you could also press. And if you don't want it to be reabled, then just place a dotted line block behind it.
For 3D world Spikes, I think it would've been cool if they had made them 1x1 tiles that connect.
That would be very cool I would use it
Fun fact:
There is no fun fact just enjoy odyssey's video
Ok, I will, ty (:
Yes
Well that’s easy. I was already doing that
There actually is one. In 0:40 when he says 42 gizmos he has exactly 42 coins.

It's still more likely to find 10 good snake block levels in Super Expert than Dream's 1 in 7.5 trillion chances speedruns though

@@superhappygamer1162 Thanks not hapy
Dream cheated.
thank you DanielTheCake for replying to my comment 10 months later
“Theres about a 1-7.5 trillion chance of me liking a level with the snake block” I see what you did there.
What?
Somewhere, dream stans are raging
What did he
The Phanto Key is upset that you didn't talk about him. He's so forgotten that i don't think even you remembered that they existed
I think he would have placed it in the Very Niche or Niche tiers.
They would just be with the key
@@2001CusinartToaster the phanto key have so much different with normal key
Mac_bomber still a variation of the key
I wish you had mentioned that arrows can be used to light dark levels. You can even cover the arrow with ground blocks to make certain areas glow, which is much better than using fire or pickup-albe items. This is essential to know if you make a dark level (that isn’t in SMB1 because it doesn’t work there for some reason).
its cause all game styles have different glowing things, and they made smb1 the most realistic for whatever reason
so THIS is how he spends his weekends
And I’m ok with that
@@tanistv1124 lop
and im too
For snake blocks, there was a cool speedrun level where you had to basically make it in time or miss the snake block
Thanks for the advice I’m gonna make an auto scroll level with snake blocks now :)

And with a ton of banzai bills
They could include style specific variants of the icicle such as stalactites (cave) or drills (airship) for the other styles. Also the giant icicles that land, stick in the ground, then sometimes fall over from NSMB would be nice to have.

Dry bones for smash
@@ybbetter5170 Smash for drybones

@@2001CusinartToaster odyssey smashing drybones
It’s funny how in the video he said he is going to rank all 42 gizmos, and at 0:35 the clip ends and he has 42 coins
One ways are also global items, which means they can be used for ELB contraptions without counting towards the entity limit, and they don’t have to be loaded for it to work. (I also think they are global ground but haven’t tested, snake block is global ground tho)
29:30 yeah, sending the player to cp1 in a troll level is always fun.
* SMB 1 Jungle night starts playing and also CarlSagan's 42 laugh *
I'm glad that you put the banzai bill in the main 4 themes where it deserves to be
Kamek has been snuffed from Mario Kart.
Dry Bones has been snuffed from Smash.
But nobody is talkin about my boy, Goomba, who was snuffed from both!
I wish Twisters did more. They could’ve had a vortex function that sucks things down, be placeable on walls/ceilings, or turn on/off. Instead it’s just... kind of there
Would’ve been nice if they could be placed onto tracks and in pipes, they really dropped the ball with twisters here
Yeah, they have the suck function underwater... but c'mon, who likes underwater?
@@Odyssey_Central to put a twister on a track, put a block on the track and a twister on top. I did that for one of my levels.
@@whateverguy9204 explain i cant figure it out
Snake blocks are like hidden blocks, they are fine, *UNLESS they fall into the wrong hands*
also, Banzai Bills are a big hitbox that moves in a specific direction, so they are actually quite good
The twister is actually unique. You can make cool illusions with them if you stack a lot on eachother
Rank Every Theme from Mario games that should be in Mario maker 3 please
Listen to him
Well that’s specific.
No. Those videos are always the same
@@Yoshomay have anybody mentioned the fantasy theme from lost levels
No rank all the BLOCKS!
Love your vids they are very entertaining but useful
I think the snake blocks are very good for decor, and also pretty good for a short little challenge or little transportation to another chunk of the level.
12:30 a dash block next to a pipe/clear pipe will make mario go in it automatically
Chemical plant zone from Sonic 2 playing in the background welcome to behind the scenes details
“Exclamation mark blocks are a great gizmo, number 20”
Doesn’t mention the fact that those blocks are the reason I HAVE PTSD FROM LABYRINTH ALPHA
I love the on off trampolines. When they are off you can use them as decoration or platforms
I think I would move the see-saw and icecicles up, I really don't think you've thought about all the different uses for those. For seesaws, when tracks are involved they're about as using as the normal moving platforms. Icicles can be used as an interesting downward one way door and moving platform in addition to being a threat or decoration.
The best Gizmo is obviously the Unpredictable snake block as it provides a simple challenge to find you way across large gaps and lava. pair it with a twister and get ready to hit your T.V with Excitement Is what i took from this video.
Shity Freedom Server
If the snake block has to go up though, the Twister is gonna fall off.
I really like some of the levels showcased in the background. You make pretty good traditional levels! I'm also more a fan of traditional based levels but an applause for you man.
Red’s Theme from Gen 2 is in the background while he is talking about snake blocks.
wait so some gizmos are useless, how am i not one?

Great video! Love your content. And I agree with most of the choices, except the snake blocks as I was super hyped for these to come. Also you sound a lot like Z3Cubing
Let's be honest we all knew on/off switches would be the number 1 spot
I bassicly agree with everything

love your videos! keep up the good work!
As someone who centers around kaizo, this is extremely helpful to understand more traditional level design. I’ve been in the mood to make some traditional stuff. I really appreciate your perspective.
Let’s go!!! A return to form from odyssey!!
There should be a video about the best level utilizing each gizmo. I feel like that would give people watching ideas for levels around different items.
I like how you used In The Final for the top-tier. Nice touch.
I also like using lava lifts to mark boss doors, since if you put them on a track, they only show one skull, which can be useful to signify a difficult challenge coming up
Odyssey central is so entertaining
I was literally just watching another one of your videos, than I see this notification and I’m like “What????”
I saw his comunitty tab and prepared for it
Same lol
Ya I have found many gizmos to never be useful but this really helps!!! Thank you!
@Henry Moul I’ve watched the nearly useless section of the video and that is what I was talking about
@Henry Moul ya it was like 2 mins
Keep up the good content! Its very poggers
I barely see anyone using the Snake Blocks in their levels.
You are a very lucky soul
Snake Blocks are very good for troll levels.
Yeah
Snake blocks are really good for kaizo platformers
We all must admit on-off switches are the face of SMM2
You mean slopes
I would rank them:
In level gameplay- */10
In builder gameplay-*/10
Machines with gizmo( side walked checker and so on.)- */10.
Average all and make a list
Hello Odyssey Central! I am a TH-cam curator. I special in Video Games. I must say that this video is a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars! The way that you explain and speak makes this video infinitely better. I watched this through 2 times. The first time I watched it, the second time I just listened. I feel like I was listening to the radio. It was stunning! Keep up the great video and together we can pray Dry Bones makes it to smash one day!
Don’t forget to like the video!
Great vid! Unfortunate that you don’t like the snake block, though I agree it’s difficult to use properly and isn’t designed well. The one major level I use them in revolves around swapping between snake blocks and land in a traditional level, giving the player coins and enemies to deal while they wait for the Snakeblock.
Great analysis of all these gizmos!!
Another good use world be like the 5-tower level, you do switch between, as well as adding unchain chomps on tracks to remake the pendulums. Only if we could make them big.
Snake blocks become really useful and provide interesting challenges when there's multiple of them
Nintendo watching this video:
My goals are beyond your understanding.
You put so much effort into your videos and you've been yt forever. You deserve more subs
The on off trampoline canne used like a semi solid block in 3d world that actually goes through ground!
Claws can be used very well in troll levels, to activate contraptions when the player is at a certain spot
Alternative Title:Ranking Some Things
I've been waiting for a new video for so long
Fun fact if you have a blue platform with wings fall onto lava decending at the fast speed then the platform will float on the lava
What is happening is that when the platform touches the lava it’s speed gets decreased to a point where it is slower than the lava but then it goes back to being faster than the lava when it stops touching it which makes it that it just stays on the lavas surface I’ve actually used this in a level I’ve made called lemmys dodgeball castle
Where you have to avoid Lemmy as the platform decends to the bottom where you can then get a busy beetle to knock the spike top off of his head and actually beat him
I love your videos
Why did he spend 2 minutes on the snake block when he hates it so much
Idk if you already tried this with track blocks from 3D World style, but the best use I found was a resettable one way door that moves out from a room you can only enter by a warp box or some other one way means in to prevent one from collecting pink coins easily in a puzzle room and skip the gimmicks altogether yet have a faster way back to the door to go to another pink coin room
Ok just to let you know, snake blocks & dash panels are global ground.
Yes
Next video: Ranking all enemies
I hade this notification!
I, too hade this notification.
The gizmos are the items that truly bring a stage to life. This ranking certainly helped me with using them effectively
I love the jokes and memes hidden in the Video! Keep up your great work!
Some of the lower tier gizmos are pretty great in troll levels. You can hide a powerup behind a banzai bill, same with the snake blocks to break through bullet bill launchers.
Also the see saw is waaaaay too low, the amount of mechanisms they enable is crazy
I don't understand how one person can rank all the gizmos individually when their whole purpose is for them to be used together to create complex contraptions.
Personally, I don't like this video because you rank them specifically for only platforming and ignore their true purpose as contraption makers. Snake blocks are probably one of the best gizmos for complex contraptions and banzai bills are useless.
You also never consider how helpful these items are in 3D World, where so many things are exclusive and not available. This limits and changes things dramatically.
As I said in the video I did take their use in contraptions into account, in fact I mention them very often in the video so not sure where you got I was only considering platforming from.
Also you don't like any of my videos cause you comment negatively on all of them so I guess this isn't very special then lol
@@Odyssey_Central I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that some people use snake blocks a lot in their contraptions and that you stereotype a lot. You make good content, I just want to see you judge things less and see the more fun side of you.
@@ShimmeringVapidCoal As I said in the snake block segment I'm sure good uses exist, I just don't know them. I would still place them low on the list however since they're uses that have been told to me in the comments are done far better with other items. Also if you don't want me to judge so much, don't watch my ranking videos, where the whole point is the rank and judge things...
@@Odyssey_Central 95% of your channel is ranking videos. That means that you are basically telling me not to watch your videos.
@@Odyssey_Central I just want to see more variety in your videos. You do so much ranking things, why can't you experiment and try doing a playthrough or a theory video, or just anything different? The reason I comment negatively is because you don't take risks or try new things, it's just the same thing over and over again. I understand if this is the main standing point of your channel, but what is wrong with experimenting and taking a few risks? You have a great channel Odyssey. Use it.
I made an *excellent* snake block level, it's centered around rooms where you activate the snake block and then navigate upward through various obstacles and you can stand on the snake block at the end of its path to enter the door to the next area for that brief moment where it stops at the end. 2VW-46X-CQF Snake Mountain
i made a snake block level where it looks like you hcan bypass the whole thing but the goal is surrounded by dotted-line blocks
imma check this out later
Tier list:
Near useless: snake block, bonzi bill, on off mushroom trampoline
Very niche: spike block (3d world), track block, mushroom trampoline, twisters, banzi bill (3d world), claw
Niche Tier: seesaw platform, crate, skewer, burner, fire bar, cannon, dash block, icicle
Pretty helpful tier: tree, arrow, blinking blocks, cloud lift, skull coaster ( sans sick ride), ! Block, vines, grinder
Useful tier: lifts, conveyor belt, POW, POW(3d world), P switch block, bumper,
Very useful tier: spring, warp box, one way wall, P switch, bill blaster, tracks,
Top tier: key, checkpoint, door, dotted line block, on of block
These are in order from the video if I did anything wrong please tell me in the reply hopefully this was helpful for you
Dry bones for smash
The snake block isn't useless as it can be used in some timer set-ups the player needs to activate.
and it is global ground
@@SomeoneWeird-vx5jx I actually didn't know that part
One way to make snake blocks less despicable is having tracks indicate the snake blocks path. Also, a great example of a snake block level is PePanga's Snake Charmer. It is kaizo, but it displays elements that are pretty great with snake block.
You forgot the greatest thing about 3D world On Off Mushrooms! In the off state, they are the only 3D world semi solid that are neutral ground that you can place ground and items over!
I think this list is pretty fair, nothing I really disagree with. Great job!
Snake block is best
