Hey lie it is not the best

yep

I'm amazed that mechabowzilla is not on the list.

Why do you have the icelandic flag on your PFP

Very Niceu why not

@@melon4345 LOL. It's a combo of the Empire of Japan and the Union Jack. Because the countries they represent are both a big part of my life.

Flamewalk dude that is so weird. There is no way that a river could be 18 meters deep in one area and 1/4 meter deep in other areas

hallucinacaust near the banks?

hallucinacaust that is a joke, dude. It is supposed to illustrate that statistics alone sometimes can give unexpected results.

That's why you walrus take the median, it's a lot more reliable :p

But this doesn't disprove the claim though... The statistician never claimed you couldn't drown because the average is 1 meter, you projected that.

Me too!

I have the same thing but with getting hit in mega man

I watched Gamechamp9000s jumpless super mario odyssey video and I've never quite been the same since

I feel like someone’s doing magic when they do something like that after watching a challenge video.

Lolol me too!

@The_Mighty_ Boole I know right! It is so original, and is very cool. I'll bet Dean is an executive from Nintendo, because he has made the Mona Lisa of Mario Maker Levels.

d is the best fam

Even the name is beautiful

Can someone link me to a video playthrough of that level? Can't seem to find it.

Is the clear rate also really high on this? That would mean it would be put on easy 100 man so newer players would run into it and be more likely to star it not knowing that doing that doesn’t work.

holy crud that's evil. So really the #2 is the actual #1, then

If the timer were to run out could you pause and then skip?

Is this a tie for the worst level ever?

You CAN skip in the death animation actually.

I want a compilation of "ouching spikes," "yum yum mushrooms," and "it's actually surprisingly simple."

who rae

Hoo Rae

Hehe

20 hours

This should be higher. Kinda bummed it wasn't mentioned in the video, great real world example of why statistics often requires careful thought (and how it can easily be manipulated).

madmaniaq Couldn’t this logic also be used for any kinds of media?

This isnt true though, you can pause a level a star it at any time

THIS MAN IS THE CHOSEN ONE

@@theAstarrr both games allow you to like or dislike (in the case of smm2) a level at any time

Oh ! Yeah i get it ! That is... disappointing :c

Thank you, I wanted to point this out too.

Well that sucks. Maybe he'll make a part two?

Oh! So the trick is not to make a level that would be starred by the most people, but to make a level that is only completed by the people that would star it! The bumper level seems to have done a good job hitting that target, since people that don't like it will quit immediately instead of completing it.

So you should count the plays and deaths and get from that the star to like ratio

Hooray

*PLOT TWIST* Yeah it's actually not that simple.

Huuu-RAY

yea like... bumpers + coins in the middle + saws at the bottom = best level ever...or it would have been..

Hey dude im subbed

Not to be confused with Squid Girl, from the Squid Girl mangal/anime

Epic_stuff squidgirl isn’t from splatoon 2

Which is probably why he's laughing, Bum... he's saying that the Splat 2 girl is his favorite, or at least moreso than the Splat 1 girl. Or maybe he likes Pearl more, or one of the Sisters? Personally, my favorite is Callie, though I should note that Octolings aren't technically squid girls...

Hoo... *(A Googolplex years pass by)* ...ray

Sarcastic?

Eh, there were worse. Way worse.

Yes, but it also don´t really looks like beeing the best Level

It was probably created by a streamer with a sizable following and gets a laugh out of most people in 100 Mario challenge but it is still beatable

For spot of best stage in creativity, I would nominate "Pause for Effect." It uses puzzles that you have to solve by pausing the game at the right time.

Agreed on "Pause for Effect." This is why when it comes to judging, subjectivity/quality has to play a part over objectivity/quantity. That said, what would be the highest liked over views video for Mario Maker videos on KZfaq? That would give a different source of data all together (which would include non-Mario Maker players like myself :P) (that would also increase the demographic pool)

I came looking for the data after watching the video on my TV. Please share the dataset!?

Keep asking; maybe email

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDD!!! (I'm kidding, your math stuff confuses me but at the same time it's very cool. Good on you my dude!

The scraping of this dataset isn't horribly complicated (the most time consuming part is having to throttle reads, avoid duplicates and deal with UTF8 characters). If Ceave hasn't responded to you yet, let me know and we can discuss getting this dataset.

You wish you were

Might explain all the video game companies making pachinko machines.

It explains Sonic's popularity.

You cannot skip a stage while in mid-air, and trying to hit Restart when pissed off at being stuck will often make you star something on accident. That level traps Super Expert players until they beat it or lose every single one of their lives. Over such a long time, it is extremely likely to star it on accident.

can’t exit while in the air. on bumper = in air. L O G I C

@@Zorgdub it's annoying to me that you can't change your vote after the fact. At the least there should be a grace period where you can do so.

@bruhhh SMM /NiatsuFTW_Ros can you give me the ID, please?

Koopaling Island is great btw

Jesus that's amazing

Lol

no

You are objectively wrong

How could you say that objectively

@@snekk9701 burden of proof

It's actually still the most starred stage, so it still reigns supreme.

@Michael Boulet that's hella work though. You could make it a lot faster by running multiple instances through different vpns or tor exits, but youd still have to write the script

He said he's going to make more content using the statistics and he linked to the levels without actually linking the database so I doubt he's going to just drop this database, at least not now. Maybe after he's made the videos he wants to make using the data lolol.

You could probably do it yourself in a day or two if you wanted. It's trivial to loop through the different search results with curl, but it would take a moderately long script to parse though the html for the statistics and then output them to a database. I don't even know much about html but I could look through the curl results and pick out how it writes the liked numbers and so forth (typography-). Also it seems Nintendo are blocking a lot of tor exits because they refused my connection when I used tor. So you would probably have to limit the rate of requests to avoid getting blocked. Which means actually scraping the site might take longer. If anyone feels like pitching in to help get a community script/database of SMM levels that is updated every so often let me know I might be willing to help write the script, but I'm too busy to do the whole thing myself.

@@koolaidjerk a quick search finds this comment: www.reddit.com/r/MarioMaker/comments/8y4ylq/is_there_a_database_of_mario_maker_statistics/e2c3p67 If any1 needed the data they could probably pm that person and ask for it. Sucks that his script isn't OSS afaik tho :/

is it possible to share the script somehow ? I'd like to see it tbh

Please no XD

Except he isn't obsessive about quality to the point of mental self-harm (I love pannen, but his FAQ was a rather sad read).

Uh, DUH. They both rock.

@Doctor Whouse Holy shit you're right. ___ But in addition to feeling bad about myself, I also felt the need to punish myself for letting myself get into this situation at all. In other words, a masochistic rage ended up taking over my mind. I wanted to hurt myself physically, but that’s against my personal rules. So instead, I settled for psychological harm. So I went onto my Facebook account and unfriended about 80% of my friends, because I didn’t feel that I deserved to be friends with them. Later, I took a bath, but when it was over, I ended up staying in the tub cold and naked for hours, since that’s what I deserved. During this time, I also ended up going on a mental monologue detailing how worthless I was by going over all my past failures and shortcomings, and for each one going over my personal traits that caused those failures. Needless to say, this was a very dark period of my life. This is the type of situation where under normal circumstances, I would channel some mental resources into making myself feel better, such as reassuring myself that I would get through this and that everything would be okay. But did I do this under the rolling rocks mindset? Nope. Remember, the rolling rocks mindset had been created specifically to get the ABC videos done, especially the rolling rocks video that had been eating away at me for months. So instead of channeling any resources into making myself feel better and combat the masochistic rage, the rolling rocks mindset ended up taking a more exploitative approach. The rolling rocks mindset managed to convince my masochistic rage that the perfect punishment for me would be to force me to work on the rolling rocks video. The logic was that I didn’t deserve to relax and enjoy my winter break. Instead, I deserved to slave away all day on the rolling rocks video, even though I hate commentating. While all my friends and family would be having fun over winter break, I deserved to be locked up in my room just working all day. And that was how the rolling rocks mindset (whose goal was getting ABC videos done) and my masochistic rage (whose goal was punishing me) ended up working together. ___

SonicFanChris 4 At least he doesn’t scuttlebug transport, beat a level in 0.5 a presses or go to parallel universes

I'll get to my opinion on that, but first we have to talk about parallel universes.

I'd love to get my hands onto more data! :D I'm looking forward to your video, that sounds amazing!

I'd really like to see a video where you show your code and explain how it works. I am a bit of a Rookie at Javascript so I would really appreciate seeing it being used in such cool scenarios.

Probably Pit of Panga or something similar.

Crowtem „who ray“

I almost immediately went into the comments to post about this! I hadn't known which level was created first but I guess it's nice to know people appreciated the concept?

@@MasterPadoo Yeah, but it's plagiarism, and even if this person liked the concept, it's not very cool to take his concept, with the same ideas.

Sady Still doesn’t change the core design.

What you're missing is that not every play is random. People can manually find levels, and certain levels are going to draw different crowds of players. For example, that 38,051 players might not be a sample of the entire Mario Maker community, just a sample of the fanbase of an internet personality.

11:23 Then the best level would be "The Time Machine".

@@maxfi878 Name sounds promising.

That is a good level. Wouldn't say it's the best, but definitely "pls star twice" worthy.

Except that's not how it work either, you cant find the objectively best levels, and increasing the required amount of plays won't help, there are hidden gems stuck at a few plays, especially now that the community size decreased. What you'll find will just be a list of the most popular levels

It's not possible to have an objectively "best" video game level. But there are objective measures and concepts we can try to implement into our levels that will generally improve them: Variety, scaling to the skill level of the player, etc.

B. Moser All of which can be subjective to a degree.

Channels like this usually prefer using their minds to come up with ways to exploit the somewhat unknown mechanics of a game they didn't make, as it requires more problem solving than making their own game with specific types of levels in mind. While I like the idea, I don't think it's going to happen.

Yeah, he's just doing self imposed challenges and analysis within games that are made by veteran game devs, this doesn't mean that he's capable of making a good game. Not to say he can't, but these types of videos really don't give me a developer impression, just a really dedicated player, much like a speed runner.

Yohoat The comment was mostly based on his... honestly surprisingly vast knowledge of coding/binary. And he has a techy friend. It could happen.

The Kingslayer I admittedly skipped to the end to see what the answer to the title was, but I've seen his other videos and he never seemed to delve too much into game design talk. He would more or less disect existing systems and find how far he could push them. He may have the technical skill, that I don't know, but he doesn't strike me as a designer.

Yohoat Yeah, you’ve definitely got a point there. We’d have to ask him in person. And even if he could, would he want to?
