*How do you use the Boomerang Flower in your own levels?* Let me know down below and check out the full Item Breakdown playlist for more inspiration! bit.ly/36BWWBm
10:28 People have been making SMM levels for years, and this is the first time I've ever seen a single person call out these "puzzles" that are actually just surprisingly simple mechanisms that use a power-up in the most basic way possible
It's not on the level of Refreshing Levels because at least I'm doing something, but I still feel like they clutter up the search when I'm trying to find actual *ahem* puzzles.
Perhaps a name such as "Gimmick Level" would be more befitting than puzzle? I mean, they do often revolve around utilizing an item to its fullest potential without also requiring precision platforming like a Kaizo.
I desperately needed this vid. Couldn't think of anything to do with this power up. [Edit] Great news. I thought up a boomerang flower level that i think people will like! Can't thank you enough, tobias!
10:28 THANK YOU! These boring, lazy levels with no thought made from the player to beat the level ALWAYS end up on the popular page for no reason! This happened last update too, and it was even worse then! These levels try to be cute and add “secrets” too, and they are so bad! This is why I need to stop going to the popular page. Especially with the new trend of “refreshing,” “stress-reducing” garbage dumps of levels. (And I didn’t forget about the random Japanese that is probably half gibberish but idk)
Not going to say Japanese levels on the popular page aren't bad, but calling the language gibberish doesn't help your point? Agreed that the popular page sucks though. Finding good fun levels isn't easy...
Your opinion about the name puzzle was my favorite part of the video "oh wow what do I do here? Maybe throw a boomerang into this clear pipe because it's my only option?" perfection, I agree with you. There are puzzle levels in the game of course, but these single option ones need a new name.
12:12 I know this isn't the contest I won, but thank you for including my level in this video! I remembered you talking about how you could use it for both the star and boomerang video when I watched the livestream and I'm glad you did!
10:31 i agree with you. These are not puzzles but gating mechanics. The use of something like this is limited to making sure that if you don't have the boomerang you cant progress, so while these are not puzzles, they can be the gate that forces you solve the puzzle of "how do i get the boomerang" .
I know this has nothing to do with the video, but I got switch with Mario Maker 2 a few days ago. And your level idea videos have helped me. I pretty much took your advice. Thank you.
10:28 oh my god, finally somebody said it its not a puzzle its a tutorial. nice to know somebody else has the same reaction i do to this. its especially annoying when they show you what buttons to press, it feels so degrading
I love this new edition and is easily one of the best smm2 course parts added. The one thing that bothers me even more is that we don’t have boomerang bros. I mean, they took the time to add the mechanics of the power up. How hard is it to do a color pallet swap with the hammer bro and give it those boomerang properties. Also can we just have all of the variants of the bros in all game styles. I really want to use fire bros and the frozen coins in a level together.
1:26 "However if Mario's *X* axis position is lower..." TOBIAS THAT'S THE Y AXIS OH NO EDIT: 1:44 oh god he mixed up the axes... I hope this doesn't confuse those unfamiliar with X/Y axes. EDIT 2: 4:58 * internal screaming*
10:30 THANK YOU. Those "logical thinking" levels are so overdone and shouldn't be called puzzles when there's only one path to take. Only puzzling thing about them is how they're so popular.
I'm sorry I haven't watched you're videos much. You're doing an amazing job! Ya got that voice over talent bud! I love Super Mario. You're such a nerd!!! Lol Love ya dork!! Keep it up
"A boomerangs lifespan isnt determined by the distance it travels, but rather how many times its forced to change directions." -Tobias Bergdorf "Wtf is this doing in my libary"6.9/10 -JoSniffy "Truely inspiring"☆☆☆☆.20 -Guest
Edit: I identified it. It's the intro music for the "Boomerang" Block from Cartoon Network circa mid 2000's. It aired "old" Hanna Barbara cartoons like Scooby Doo, The Flintstones, and Top Cat. Can someone PLEASE tell me what the music at 0:17 when the boomerang flower appears is? I recognize it but can't place it.
10:27 No thank god you said it, I was about to call you out if you didn't. Puzzles need to require some lateral thinking. I think the closest thing we can name them might be technique sections b/c usually the challenge is timing/movement. If you chuck a boomerang in a pipe and hit a few on/offs there's no question what was going to open the path, its just how you have to do it
Example of indicators in a kaizo: Deactivated P-block: Ground Pound Arrow: Go here/Jump here Coins: Throw Boomerang here 3/4 of a box: Throw it Deactivated Dotted-Line Block: Jump this many times on that enemy
I honestly feel the boomerang flower is better for traditional levels than the cat bell simply because it's less prone to causing cheese in levels. I also love it for some fun puzzles involving clear pipes and on off switches.
I find the fact that boomerangs get destroyed in clear pipes submerged in lava weird as it does not enter in contact with it and Mario is completely fine.
how do the thrown boomerangs behave when coming out of clear pipes facing up or down? Is it the same as a spike ball, where it goes in the direction that the most recent horizontal section went?
Lots of the popular speed run levels are meant to make you feel like you're at risk of dying but make it really easy to just hold right and press the right buttons at the right time. They're lame and usually uninspired. Speed runs that make you think fast about what to do, make you do something creative, and have slightly more forgiving timers are usually the better ones imo
I made a underwater light car-zo level utilizing the Boomerang Flower, Cannon Box, and the Koopa Troopa Car. Pretty fun to make... ... Also, those supposed 'puzzle' levels just need to be called themed shooter levels, because they're too mundane and repetitive to be tagged as puzzle levels.
@@highcaliber350 My maker ID... GC4-Q9W-J1H It isn't necessarily a zinger, but it is a just okay underwater easy car-zo. It isn't uploaded yet, but it'll go up on the server with all my other Super World courses once my Super World series is done being clear checked. ... You can check out some other levels on my profile (some are kinda garbage, be warned) while I'm crafting my Super World. Some are easy, some are hard, some are actually traditional. Some people really liked my SMW airship level for some reason or another. ... I should try making another underwater car-zo outside of my Super World, the process is really interesting. Early Access? The more practice the better.
I noticed something about the boomerang flower. The boomerang flower plays the wrong sound effect when it’s collected. It’s the same sound when collecting a cat bell. Instead it should be the same sound that plays when collecting a fire flower.

Simple, I don't.
I don’t use 3D world often
I don't. But I'm glad I learned about the boomerang flower
We need a Koopaling video.
@@guynamedrick4419 good idea
those non puzzle puzzles could be fun as a reward in a traditional level, but on thier own they feel unearned

H e l l o there
I nominate the term "Gimmick Levels"
"surprisingly simple"
**Now, that's a word I haven't heard in a while**
That's kinda how Lego games work. You know what to do, you've just gotta do it.
Perhaps a name such as "Gimmick Level" would be more befitting than puzzle?

same, except I've been wondering how to use all the new items
Nice job!
Really I always find a way to use it. It’s my favorite new powerup

just learn kana lmao
One of the levels by a Japanese person got on popular page and they misspelled "Level Clear" into "Level Crear"
@@gamermapper OH MY GOD please stop being everywhere lol
I propose we add an auto-puzzle category kind of like the auto-Mario levels but for puzzles. Great video, as always!
Someone in twitch chat called them "cut-scene" levels and I love it. Also thanks dude!
I could make a lot of "puzzles" with these!

Finally, someone else who agrees that throwing boomerangs through pipes is kinda boring
Hurr durr I saw it in the direct that means it’s the only way to use this powerup
Weirdboo no not really
@@jamesrowe1301 it was sarcasm
Did, did you mean y axis at 1:27?
Probably. There were a lot of flubbed lines in this one, but I wanted to make sure the video got out in time while there's still hype.

I dont even create mario maker levels, but your videos are just so thorough and well done that I still watch them.
I rarely leave a comment
I just want to say one thing
Keep up the good work - the quality of your content is outstanding
I know this has nothing to do with the video, but I got switch with Mario Maker 2 a few days ago. And your level idea videos have helped me. I pretty much took your advice. Thank you.
I got an ad and this happened:
"Now that we know how it works, how do we work with it?" *_Let's play Raid Shadow Legends_*

Thank you for that Boomerang from Cartoon Network reference. So much.
that boomerang jingle hit me with a truck of nostalgia.

“Right back at you, buckaroo”
I loved that you used the Boomerang Bumper for the intro
Really liking the new graphic for list of affected items/enemies!
I miss SethBlings one screen puzzles
But when it explodes does it resume basic behavior?
If it's basic behavior is not existing... 🤔
Ah that’s just like *My* Basic behavior

I used the boomerang in my new level, The MM2 Mission. Thank you for this.
if yall wanna play it my name is iEatMarker
I love how you used the boomerang tv channel theme at the start
4:47 Sokka. Sokka knew that.
"You have fire, but _I_ have my BOOMERANG!"
I really like how the boomerang theme played after Mario grabbed the flower
My favourite powerup!
This is why I subscribed
Example of indicators in a kaizo:
Deactivated P-block: Ground Pound
Arrow: Go here/Jump here
Coins: Throw Boomerang here
3/4 of a box: Throw it

Mad props for the intro jingle.
I love your item breakdown videos plz do all of them from the 3.0 update
Great as always Tobias c:
10:28 Wow that got real for a second

Amazing as always!
Hey thanks! Glad to know someone who's watched my stuff for so long still enjoys it.

I agree so damn much with that thing about puzzles
you deserve more subs
I could be wrong, but I like the boomerang's music being from Cartoon Network's old Boomerang program.
I find the fact that boomerangs get destroyed in clear pipes submerged in lava weird as it does not enter in contact with it and Mario is completely fine.
Nice new profile picture
Feeling very kawaii.
I like your old one
Your channel is growiiing!!

Ok boomer... ang.
*sighs again
I'm not sure if I'm late for saying this but I love the new profile pic 👌🏻
Builder Tobias :]
@@haronka I think he ate a super hammer ;]
@@chamtheman551 Probably :]
I felt that when he played boomerang from cartoon network. (Nostalgia)
you really had to hit the nostalgia that hard with a 1 second audio clip huh
Fun fact: If you throw a boomerang at a spike ball, the spike ball is able to collect coins, or at least big coins, like a thrown shell.
Boomer Ang Mario is the best cross over we could have ever asked for
God thanks someone realise that only throwing a boomerang I a obvious spot is not a puzzle
0:01 what is the intro music, I personally can't find it anywhere, if it's by Phillip Schlosser (hephestos) which song??
11:28 no, the most important thing is don’t tag it versus. It won’t work in versus
Nice new pfp
how do the thrown boomerangs behave when coming out of clear pipes facing up or down? Is it the same as a spike ball, where it goes in the direction that the most recent horizontal section went?
Damn that boomerang is loyal.
0:33 - 0:47
Every sixty seconds, a minute passes.
Donkey kong - throws banana
Mario - throws boomerang
Mario - *its all the same thing*
I didn’t know there were so many synonyms for Boomerang
The only way to escape a boomerang is flooring it on dash blocks, but just using a blue speed conveyor belt works, its even the same speed!
Do a fish bone analysis next, it is very underrated
6XF-MTX-8TF (Boomerang Bangarang) is a real fun boomerang course
There's another series I've watched with the name "Item Breakdown" about Mario Kart Wii.
Your new youtube logo is cool! Am I the only one who noticed this?
Isn't Y axis supposed to be vertical?
Is this a Mario maker specific thing?
1:28 1:54 I think you’ve got your X and Y axes mixed up
I love this series, until now I thought that boomerangs get destoryed after a couple second no matter what
Your problem with ‘puzzle’ levels is the same with me for most ‘speedrun’ levels.
Lots of the popular speed run levels are meant to make you feel like you're at risk of dying but make it really easy to just hold right and press the right buttons at the right time. They're lame and usually uninspired. Speed runs that make you think fast about what to do, make you do something creative, and have slightly more forgiving timers are usually the better ones imo
Missed opportunity to use the line, "That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us!" from The Simpsons.
