I had an app on the frontpage for a whole day last year (Show HN) and the server behaved like a champ... a simple 6US/month, cloud compute instance on Vultr. It was a Rails app as well. I generally dont understand how some sites go down so quick.
How much traffic was it?

#24I liked the idea of these games and own the 3DS game and 2 on the Switch. I like making levels, but for the most part I haven’t had a lot of fun playing other people’s levels. I gave up on the games because it seemed like most of the user submitted content were weird non playable machines where people bend the rules of the engine to hurl Mario along to the goal automatically. Interesting to see that, but it got to th…
I still maintain that the Mario Maker series could be absolutely brilliant if Nintendo would invest in better discovery algorithms and searchability. The pool is going to be flooded with garbage, and rightfully so given that kids love to play and make things too. There's nothing wrong with that, but in the end it means you've fallen into a tough situation where the internal discovery tools don't work, and the only wa…
It's not a full solution, but there must be lists of good levels out there on the internet. I just found https://www.reddit.com/r/TraditionalMarioMaker/.
For me, couch multiplayer would make it 10x better. I bought the game and was sorely disappointed to see that this wasn't included.

#25it sure would be nice to get the repository of mario maker 1 levels before nintendo burns the library down.

Mario is one my favorite platforming series, but I felt that the Mario Maker games never quite reached the level of innovation of LittleBigPlanet. (Both in the tooling and the community.)
It looks like some users did the work to archive LittleBigPlanet, too:

Hopefully it's comprehensive.
People came up with all kinds of hacks to push the engine to its limits. They made FPS games, top down Zelda dungeons, and all kinds of crazy stuff with LBP. It was awesome.
I haven't checked out LBP's spiritual successor Dreams yet (I don't have time to game lately), but I've heard it's phenomenal.
That said, I do enjoy watching others try to clear some of the diabolically difficult levels that Mario Maker creators design.

Agree, been super fun to watch everyone work through GPW 3. The clip compilations are always fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOpt3DU-16I
LMFAO that video is the gift that keeps on giving... I lost my shit at the shark towards the end

Same—unfortunately most of the content that other players produce is either impossible to lose or is specifically designed to be as hard as possible. You can still find levels which are suitable for your skill level, but the “10 mario mode” or whatever is specifically built around selecting the next level FOR you, so that entire game mode is basically a waste.

I loved playing with this when I was in high school. This is such a great memory. Thanks!

Lololol! I laughed so much watching this. Amazing. The design of that level is the mind of a f*cker. Lol!

I know Nintendo will never allow it to exist in the open but is this a way to archive the actual levels or just a list of names/codes? I'm genuinely sad thinking about the (very real) possibility of them vanishing forever.
It includes the levels themselves. However, there's not any current way to play them. https://pretendo.network/ is working on it.
