- The super mario games have been played by millions of people since super mario bros. That’s mainly thanks to brilliant level and game design. In this video we will take a closer look on one of these game design aspects in one of the more recent super mario games. We will take a closer look on how new super mario bros. U handles difficulty and the difficult problem on how to design a game for a wide audience.

Finally, someone who knows a bit about NSMB series and doesn't despise it.
All my gripes with it are stylistic decisions. The gameplay is tried and true mario and rock solid.
New super mario bros 2 is ridiculously easy and not nearly as fun as U. Other than this one-star coin everything has been easy. It is the second one in the last level in starworld I do not know how to get it.
NSMB (DS) and NSMBW where the only good ones.
wii sucked U is good
I don't despise it. I

slopes make everything better

Ianmonty03 ya I wish they were in mario maker
Despite the fact that it's actually "4-1", this is an amazing analysis. Level design has always fascinated me.
After beating world 2, the player has the option of the water world or ice world, which are worlds 3 and 4. After beating either one, the player goes to world 5. So, it's essentially 3-1.
Sparkling Waters is considered world 3. When you beat Acorn Plains, Cake Layer Desert and Frosted Glacier, the file will say that world 1, 2 and 4 are completed. So it's 4-1
Late to the party here, but internally the game sees Sparkling Waters as W3 and Frosted Glacier as W4.
3.5-1.
Whoa, what the hell, didn't expect you here?
Gosh darn those goombers and koopers!
i like the way he says goompers, it's really cute
field of koopers 1
wat are goompers and koopers?
Kane Jordens they're goombas and Koopas...

This was a really good video, the graphs and ways you explained were simple to understand but worked well.
this is so good
I Love u channel
Koopers and goombers
I don't know what you're talking about but I think he was referring to Field of Koopers.
yum yum mushrooms
But those aren't Koopers! Where's the blue shell and bandana thingy?
Accents and accenters.
Field field of koopers
This is one of your best videos! It all explains so much!
Also yeah, the subscribe button is pretty difficult to hit when I've already hit it.

Games like this and 3D world prove how amazing Nintendo is at level design.

Thanks Captain Obvious.

I really loved New Super Mario Bros. U
Those time challenges are rough if you try to get gold.
I also did too.
But I prefer NSLU.
@Alexander Sinkins Wii didn't have the extra challenge mode that NSMBU had though. I think that extra mode kinda makes U objectively better than Wii. Plus I don't see how the main game in Wii is better than the main game in U.
@@linus6718 Just like NSMB2, hard DLC or extra modes do not compensate for a pathetically easy game. Wii's difficulty stomped U's throughout the whole game. Don't even get me started on World 8 & 9. I give U more points for creativity & aesthetics, but Wii was more fun, faster-paced, and much harder. Now, Luigi U is more of a contender.
@@calebdonaldson8770 I didn't say the extra mode compensates for the difficulty, I didn't make an argument for difficulty at all. I was saying that the "challenges" mode adds a whole lot more fun content to the game, way more than Wii had. There's even the boost rush thing, which I wasn't a huge fan of, but it was there.
I hope Super Mario Odyssey will have that finding secrets thing...

Hi. I’m from the future. And yes, yes it did.
That’s like the entire point of collect-a-thons
Oh man, this reminds me of math, where you learn something basic and have to apply the rule to hard problems.
Any good teaching is like that. Learn it in a nice area, then apply it in a harder area.
Dis doof you watch dorkly
math is generally easy for me so... i dont know mario is also easy AM I JUST GUD? ;-; i dont want to be gud
Be glad you're gud, it's a gift. :)
I actually am gonna show this to my math teacher to show her algebra 1/2 class lol
I really liked this video! Showed me the true genius behind such a simple-looking game series - liked and subbed :)
Ceave
I love your videos! With these regular updates it's even better!
Wish you all the best
I also love how you keep on finding new content for the channel!
:-)
I agree. How the HELL does he not have in the least 20,000 subs? Jesus. He deserves way more.
Rosalina Knows Best He has 23,000 subs
Robbie Hicks no 38,051
I think a lot of us take it for granted but it really is impressive how much thought the designers put into these levels.
NSMBU and SM3DW are underrated a lot
And Luigi u
And 3d land, on an underrated console, the 3ds
Holy Moley this is AWESOME! This is my new favorite series! PLEASE continue making more of these!! :D
Great analysis! I love the breakdown of having a high level difficulty map for each stage, really gives more context to the design.
The boomerangs are quite horrific indeed.
You're my favourite Mario TH-camr!
This is incredible. You're like nerdwriter, but for game design. You always find new and inventive ways to talk about gaming, and fascinating insights to the design process. I'd love to see more videos like this.
I've seen man videos about how Mario games introduce a new mechanic or obstacle in a safe environment, make it harder, etc.
But the way you analyzed every part of the level, in particular the one right after the checkpoint was amazing!
Oh, and the graphs were a great idea.
I'm definitely going to check all of your other deconstruction videos
You really deserve more subscribers I've never looked at games from this perspective and it makes it so much more interesting.
Loved this video.
LEGO Metaworld You couldn't have even finished it.
Hey, I Omg! You're watching BTG lives right?
STUDIOCRAFTapps Indeed! :D
Metaworld me too
When you say "Goomba" it sonds like "Goompa" from Paper Mario
Sounds more like Goomber.
Ceave has many fun pronunciations.
Just subbed. This was an awesome and in-depth video. I was not expecting something so good, great job dude!
Interesting...I have never looked this deep into platformer designs and why it is so important.
Congratulations! You have successfully given me a new perspective on stage design.
I honestly prefer everything else you do that isn't mario maker. Keep doing mario maker if you want, this is your channel and you make incredible content, but this is much more enjoyable imo.
???
oledakaajel What's so mysterious about that?
@@its_elkku135
I think he doesn't knos what "IMO" means (BTW, it's In My Opinion)
Such a well made video! Your explanations and graphics are really clear! Love it!
This was amazing and made me want to get this game more than ever. I'm definitely spending the rest of my day watching your videos!
Wonderful example of how you can put difficulty settings in a game (without explicitly putting them in).
People who want a lower or easier difficulty feel like they're being smart for finding these secret passages and power-ups, rather than feeling punished or patronised for taking the easy route.
The harder challenges, on the other hand, are made optional so weaker players don't get absolutely frustrated by them and more competent players have the same enjoyment.
Amazing analysis Ceave!
This is an awesome video! The way you explain everything and show it with graphs and all, it makes me want to make Mario levels again! :D Very well done!
this is one of your best videos ever !
I loved this new kind of video! Keep experimenting, you're making some great content!
This was great. Please keep doing awesome videos like this. I hope to see more videos that deconstruct mario games
Realy cool concept, i like the way you explain the level design of the levels of Super Mario, that makes Level disign much easier to understand
Awesome video as always!
Honestly hitting that subscribe button is the easiest challenge I've had all week after watching this amazing video! Good work dude
Excellent video! I've always been really interested in how Mario levels were created!
I never thought of this game like this, SCIENCE!
this was amazing!! this looks like a lot of effort was put in and i respect that. you have earned my subscription!
Great video and a very detailed analysis of the game. Awesome!
Awesome vid, I never really thought about how Mario levels are set up like that but now that I think about it, even from the first game techniques like this have always been used, no wonder it's such a good series of games.
7:08 it also teaches the player that other objects also bounce on the clouds.
I have never visually evaluated a stage like this. I have a new insight on game design now :3
This was surprisingly smart and well thought out. Great video
I use to look down upon New Super Mario Bros. U (despite never playing it) as a lot of people do, but this video really made me appreciate it. Thanks, Ceave, as always, for giving me a new outlook on a Mario game. Great Video!
Love this type of content, awesome man!!
I love this series!! Make more please (:
I think that this is the type of videos you shuld do! Im learning so mutch! :D
Ceave, I'm going to keep supporting you!
Have a great weekend!
Wow! You did a great job analyzing the game, and I would have never have thought of what you found. Amazing video, you should have way more subs.
This is great! I never put much thought into the game design till now.
Really good video, keep up with what you're doing, great content :)
This was good I really like your analysis videos👍.
Wow. You must put a lot of effort into these videos. Keep up the great work!
This is a beutiful video showing how to makes levels
This is very interesting, and I really enjoyed!
Your Videos really inspired ne for Super Mario Makers levels. This one is so useful. You definitely earned my sub
Thanks for this; I plan to go into game design, and this could help me out with the games I have in the ideas phase! Seriously! This and your "Deconstructing Power Ups" video!
Amazing video. Very good job as covering traditional level design!
This is so interesting!
This is an amazing analysis. Well done!
^_^ Goombers and Koopers!
Loved the video! What a thorough analysis! Some really top notch stuff to keep in mind when designing games/levels.
Wow, this channel is great! I am definitely subscribing!
Awesome video, Ceave! You deserve a lot more subs!
Great analysis. Makes me want to play the game now!
Your narration dramatically raised my interest. Ok I’ll buy it
Great video! I think game design is a really interesting topic! keep it up
Damn, you actually made me want to play this again! Good job!
very nice analysis! great work
Seriously your intro/outro music is awesome
Wow, that's so cool! I had no idea it was designed to reward different playstyles like that. I wasn't planning on getting New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe for Switch (what a title!), but I think I've been converted, haha.
That was great. Thanks for the analysis.
10:25 Ceave, boomerang bros and hammer bros are different...
This video was so fantastic :D
Wow, i just found you and i must say: You've got my respect :)
And you earned yourself a sub
Yet again a handy dandy good ol' Ceave video about the Mario series. I think this helps every type of player for making better levels on SMM by showing an example of Nintendo own work. Keep up the good work. 8:-D
Thanks, Ceave! I'll find the averages for the level charts and see what difficulty I should use for my levels!
I love your Mario Maker content!
one thing I want to ask, how do you determine difficulty in the info graph?
I’m a SMM2 series creator. Ive made 2 series in the past , but my level design isn’t nearly as awesome as this. Awesome video!
this is so good! Plz do More!!!
Great video! Very entertaining :)
Your videos are always a joy to watch! You have an amazing video personality while still creating an informed presentation! I always look forward to when you release a new video. By the way, why do you call the enemies Goompers and Koopers?
Yay, I love Goompers! xD Anyways, great video, keep up the good work!
Great analysis! I will certainly use this tactic in my next Mario Maker course!
Very good video, just awesome. Thank you very much
I really enjoyed this and will keep it in mind when I get to play SMM2! :)
I really appreciate this video. I’ve made a lot of traditional Mario levels and they’re mostly pretty good. They’re all based on ideas from my mind with a theme for each level but I still want to keep getting better at creating levels.
So I stumbled on this video and started creating a level with this formula. I put the themed challenges in throughout the level and I wasn’t sure about it. I felt the level felt samey and bland.
I saved and then came back to it and as I started polishing the level with different challenges for different skill sets and slight adjustments in areas, it started to feel more and more like an actual official Mario Bros. level and I think it’s the deepest most fun level I’ve made yet.
It’s a basic level for the most basic players but under the surface packed with challenges for skilled players and alternate challenging routes for speed runners.
Because of this formula my level feels so deep with challenges and secrets without being congested and I’m actually having a lot fun the countless times of play testing.
This vid has definitely taken my level making to the next level.
From what I hear everyone says the U entry isnt anything special but looking at this now is making me see what makes it still a worth while game.
Your videos are fantastic!
Very insightful you just earned a sub
Why have you not been hired as a level designer yet? You clearly understand some of the most important mechanics behind these games.
Great, creator worship.

Awesome breakdown!
Please more level analysis like this! Also from older games, like Super Mario World or SMB3.
fantastic analysis!
Good TH-camr + Good game = AWESOME VIDEO!!!
Amazing video!
GREAT video! Just discovered you and.. subscribed. :)
