#you're expecting to keep retrying until you know everything it will throw at you and then die to a hidden block when jumping for the goal

As great as Mario Maker is, I will never forgive it for bastardizing the word "kaizo" the same way the internet bastardized "gaslighting"

#super mario maker #supber mario bros #smb #call me old fashioned; but ... #see most mario maker kaizo levels just have a high execution ceiling #when a kaizo level should instead be a level with a high execution ceiling that wants to see you fail #I think a good kaizo level would combine the mm kaizo level with the mm troll level #troll levels unfortunately usually do not require a lot of execution #just figuring out the gimmick #a big problem I have with most mm kaizo levels is the use of indicators and the same gimmicks #most levels have you swap between spin and normal jumps while throwing shells to either jump off them or switch states #if you're lucky they make you do spin jump off a bomb #the indicators just go against the spirit of a kaizo level. you shouldn't know what's coming. that's the point #you're expecting to keep retrying until you know everything it will throw at you and then die to a hidden block when jumping for the goal #speaking of... there aren't any kaizo blocks #there's nothing wrong with mm kaizo levels; they're fine; I just think they should be called something else #I think a big root of the cause is the fact that mario maker is an online game where your level is only shared if people like it #most people aren't going to like a level that intentionally tries to make you lose #hell; in the tutorial the devs even have lessons specifically telling you not to make kaizo levels #kaizo levels for the most part unfortunately cannot survive in mario maker because only a fraction of its player base appreciates them
