Ok, so rather than me teaching you the fundamental basics of how to make a Super Mario Maker level replicating the past games style (SMB1, SMB3, SMW, NSMBU) for SMM, I'm just going to link to videos on people who analyze the fundamental basics of what made those game's stand out and be unique.

In this video, Mark Brown analyses the 4 main games of Super Mario Maker and tries to make a level replicating that same feel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0c5Le1vGp4

In this video, Mark Brown analyses the secrets of Super Mario 3D World's level design. Super Mario 3D World's level design basically defines how Mario should play like, so I would recommend checking it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBmIkEvEBtA

In this video, Ceave Gaming analyses all the good level design of New Super Mario Bros U. Difficulty gives the player a motive to play, and that's exactly what we're trying to find: How to set the right amount of difficulty -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9NdAao9y_4

In this video, Ceave Gaming analyses all the secrets in the level design of Super Mario 3D World. Collectables are the things that makes the level not just go from point a to point b, but rather, try to find to explore every inch of the level to see what you can possible milk out of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlEOrCjVQX0

In this video, Blue Television Games analyses the level design of New Super Mario Mario Bros U, and tries to make his own level inspired by the NSMBU design in Super Mario Maker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiHW2XP-0ag

I used to have a 3DSafe A9LH V11.3.0-36U with Luma in my CTRNAND. Since ReiNAND Reibooted and Re-Reileased, I "switch"ed back.
Right now, I have boot9strap with Luma 8.0 as my CFW. Though, I'd like to see other CFW's for B9S.

In this thread, I will be teaching you how to dump a Wii U game's assets using DDD, a Wii U Title dumper by Dimok.
This is used for making SMM mods among other things.

What you need

- A Wii U capable of running the HBL
- The latest release of DDD
- The game you want to dump.

Steps

1. Disable the WiiU's Automatic Power-Down feature.
If you don't, the console will Shut-Down mid-dump, as the dump will take a few hours (800KBs to 1MBs)
2. Open a Command Line Prompt/Terminal on your PC.
3. Navigate to the folder where you have downloaded the launcher using the cd command.
4. Launch the Title Dumper.

titledumper.exe <dump_path_on_wiiu> /vol/content
./titledumper <dump_path_on_wiiu> /vol/content

5. On your Wii U, launch the homebrew launcher.
If you do not know how to launch the homebrew launcher, please follow the Wii U hacking guide
6. Launch the DDD application
7. Set your computer's IP address.
8. Press the X button to install ddd in memory and return to WiiU Menu.
You can also press A button instead to autoboot the inserted disc
9. Launch the title you want to dump. It will pause on the logo until the dump is done.
10. After the dump is done, the title will continue loading normally.

If everything went correctly, you should have dumped assets from the Wii U game you picked in the folder you set earlier.

In this tutorial, I will be showing you how to dump a 3DS title using the ARM9 access mode.

ARM9 access? wut?

ARM9 is the security processor of the 3DS, which is what GodMode9/HourGlass9 exploits in order to dump a 3DS title. Here are a list of ways you can tell if you have ARM9 access:

  • Have A9LH
  • Be on FW 9.0 to 11.3
  • Have Boot9Strap
  • Have sighax
  • Have a DS Flashcart and a magnet.
  • Have a DS flashcart and is on FW 4.1-1.5 and 6.0-6.2
  • Have a browser exploit on some FWs
We strongly recommend Boot9Strap, but you can use any of the above

What you need

  • Ability to load ARM9 Payloads (read above)
  • If you have ARM9LoaderHax, Sighax, B9S or the flashcart method, use the latest release of Hourglass9.
  • If you are using the Homebrew Launcher, MSET exploit, Browser to launch ARM9 payloads, use an older release of GodMode9
Steps to follow

  1. Boot up GodMode9 using the ARM9 entryway you are using.
  2. Enter the drive applicable to the type of title you wish to dump.

    **User Installed Title:** Enter the [A:] SYSNAND SD drive
    **System Title:** Enter the [1:] SYSNAND CTRNAND drive

  3. Enter the title directory.
  4. Find the title/.tmd file you want to dump
  5. Open up the tmd file options
  6. Go to the dump cxi/nds file option.
Your dump should be found in the gm9out folder on the root of the SD card. The name could be one of the following:

<Title ID> <Title Name> (<Product Code>) (<Region>).cxi
<Title ID> (<Product Code>).cxi

So today is called "National Best Friends Day". While I don't understand the point of it and all the other "National days", I guess I should talk about today's event here.

Anyways, there are some people who I'd like to thank here, but today, I'll list the most important ones.

First off, the people I don't talk to much but when I do, it's always good to speak with them is Unsavory Maggot, Daniel T Gaming, Pickpen, Rimea, Byokugen, Oman Computar & Dionicio3.
Then, I'd like to thank wrathsoffire76, sks316, Ev1lord, Paul_GameDev, ninjafox & Aileen Lumina.

But I'd like to thank most, Buntendo & trainboy2019!

Keep in mind that I do appreciate all of you, but these are simple the list of people I have in mind. Thank you all for being such a wonderous community

I recommend posting stuff about Miyamoto in the official thread here:
https://mariomods.net/thread/18-miyamoto

It'll make things easier and doesn't require you to make a thread every time you have a question.
As for the thing you are experiencing, I think its a bug. Hopefully MasterVermilli0n sees this and fixes.

If its classic, you should use the color pallet from either DK, SMB1 or SMB2. SMW and above have a different outfit.
Also, The RPG Mario is the same Mario as Modern Mario, so I don't see why you would have a different entry.

Well, luigi could be a good option, but then it wouldn't even out, so I honestly do not know myself.

Oh yeah, I forgot he even existed. :P

Well, um, make Baby Mario as Luigi, Paper Mario as Peach, and Modern Mario as Toad. Toad only runs fast, and that's something SMO Mario is good at doing.

I simply loved the new smash. Its honestly a great thing for the franchise, and the graphics are so good.
Fortnite is eh. I don't have good experience with it for PC, but I'll try again on switch if I ever get one.
I'm glad the Tennis game has a story, instead of it having no point. Would like to see that in an MK8DX update.
Never experienced Splatoon, so if I get a switch, I'll try to try that out.
I simply adore the new Mario Party. Gone is the cart. It's such a bad mechanic.
I don't see why SMO levels are coming to CT:TT 3DS. I mean, I understand for switch, but not for 3DS.
FIFA, honestly, why does that need a new game every year? I don't see the point of this years entry. Its just EA wanting more money and being even more greedy, as if they weren't already.

Video for those who want to see it for themselves


I actually didn't watch the E3 reveal yet, so once I get around to doing that, I'll post my full impressions.

I meant a new Super Mario Bros game, following NSMBU.
Hopefully we don't see another entry in the NSMB series. I dislike playing the same game over and over. I mean, if this was original, sure.
I don't see Mother 3...
Why would they do anything for Mother 3?
New Super Mario Bros S?
If its all the past NSMB games together in one package, then I see how that would be cool. It would also mean easy $ for Nintendo. Oh well.

Welcome to our new installment of "What's up", the newsletter for Mario Making Mods, Super Mario Maker & now, a new special game!

- First off, we have refined our staff team. Our new mods are sks316, wrathsoffire76 & Buntendo.
- The way Buntendo was promoted was through a staff application process which was done on our discord server. Only a select 2 were allowed.
- "Wait, two? Who could be the second person?" That person would be tee. Currently, he isn't a moderator and is still in his try out phase.
- Thanks to our new community events schedule, we will now be receiving "What's up" entries at the first of every month instead of the middle of the month, meaning that July will not be receiving a new entry. This holds true for every month except for May, where we will do it on the 17th because that's the birthday of Mario Making Mods.
- Speaking of community events, we will be having a Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS tournament soon. Keep in touch with the discord server if you want to know more.
- Our Discord bot, MaryO, will now be getting a new feature: Forum connectivity. This will allow you to, for example, see other peoples profiles. Of course, that person will need to link his Mario Making Mods account to Discord. Check the Edit Profile page in order to do so.
- To celebrate Nintendo's latest E3, we have played E3 bingo on our discord server. The results are as shown:

_These are calculated by Tee_
I have 8 points with one full bingo.
TheNawab has 7 points with no bingo.
Wrathofire has 7 points with no bingo.
Tee got 5 points with no bingo.

I've decided to drop out of this one. So winners are TheNawab & wrathoffire with 1000 coins.
I've also decided to give participation points. Tee will get 100 coins.

Super Mario Maker

- Mario Making Mods is now hosting a community mod. Check [this](https://mariomods.net/thread/635-mario-making-mods-community-mod#post4535) thread for more information.
- Super Mario Maker: Vanilla Revamped will receive a new release on the 26th.
- Tierage's forum themes from Mario Making Mods, has been [ported](https://mariomods.net/thread/616-tierage-s-forum-in-super-mario-maker) to Super Mario Maker
- A new [monochrome theme](https://mariomods.net/thread/624-monochrome-theme) has been in beta. Time to go back to the days of pong.
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii [is now in Super Mario Maker](https://mariomods.net/thread/623-nsmbw-in-smm-v1-0-beta)

Super Mario Odyssey

- That's right folks. We've partnered up with Hefty & the Super Mario Odyssey Hacking Hub to have an official forum for Super Mario Odyssey Modding. A link to their discord server can be found on our Discord Server (or the Frequently Asked Questions page whenever I find time to rewrite that)
- With LayeredFS modding now being possible, you can now test your new mods on your Nintendo Switch. Because the exploit is using a hardware exploit, you can use this on any switch firmware, no matter if its the latest or the oldest.
- Both Yuzu and Ryujinx can boot Super Mario Odyssey, however, not in a playable state. If you'd like to try mods, you can indeed test them on your switch with the hardware exploit! It's pretty easy, you can enable RCM to access them with a paperclip even.
- GRAnimated has done quite some Super Mario Odyssey mods lately. Check it out here: GRAnimated's Super Mario Odyssey Mods
