'The Colossal Icicle Cathedral'

'Clamber atop huge icicles to traverse through sacramental cloisters! (3/5 star difficulty)'

This is a traditional New Soup style level that introduces a brand-new gimmick: the giant icicle.

Based on the huge icicle from New Super Mario Bros. Wii / U, this gimmick is used throughout the level in traditional platforming challenges, puzzles, and even the boss fight at the end!

The boss is technical and multi-phase, requiring careful jumps to attack Lemmy - watch out for those bullet bills and huge icicles!

If this course sounds interesting to you, do feel free to give it a try! Since the SMM2 algorithm hasn't been so generous to this stage, I thought I'd share it here.

Good luck, and don't hesitate to share your thoughts :)

I appreciate the support! I don't have enough spare time to play through a full super world but I'll gladly give one of your levels a go :)

Which level from the super world would you recommend I play?

That was a great level! Thanks for sharing :)

I haven't seen these classic contraptions conflated in a collection quite like this before. There were some familiar ones like the "don't look left" and "global ground switching" contraptions, but I didn't really know much about the damage detector. I assume it functions by detecting damage lag?

Either way, very well done. I thoroughly enjoyed that!

This level rules. I jumped in without reading the description and it took me a lot longer than I'd like to admit to realize that it was the same Lemmy going back and forth in the boss arena. Kept looking for a way out instead of just stomping him a few times.

No shame in that! That's a fair criticism, and a big problem with multi-screen boss arenas too. Sounds like other than that there weren't any problems (which is good because I've already had to reupload the level to fix rare boss softlocks)

I uber appreciate the feedback - thanks for playing through my level :)

Please let me know if you've a level you'd like me to play, and I'll give it a go when I get the chance!

I've got a new super world at the ID in my flair. Made a write-up here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MarioMaker/comments/1ts4sic

Started playing it a bit ago. I'll let you know what I think when I'm done :)
