Having a busy animated background is an awful idea if you want people to read your content.

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.

How many connections per minute can result from being on HN frontpage?

Most likely Nintendo (being an extensive AWS user) will just ship the levels to some S3 bucket; never to see the light of day. Even if each level were just 2 MB, that would cost them only $46/mo. to keep 1 million levels.

This already exists online — won't link it here but it's easy to find if you know where to search. Players have been unable to upload since March 2021, so any archive that's a year or two old will still be up-to-date.

I 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 the point where I saw nothing else, and it’s been on the shelf for years.
