![]() These include using pipe and Bullet Bill blasters to fire out unexpected enemies or items that catch players off guard, triggering events on blocks or areas that should be avoided, using theme specific tricks like vines against a wall in the Super Mario Bros. The idea is to use traps that people aren’t expecting or don’t know how to deal with. How to use lesser known traps in your troll level You can find out more about Super Mario Maker 2 at Nintendo, and you can follow along with the the latest from Nintendo with the official Twitter page at /NintendoAmerica. It’s a good move to make your traps slightly different to act as tells that they’re in the repeat. Some will get killed on purpose to return to their last checkpoint flag when they really just need to press on. However, the most devious of all troll misdirection has got to be the repeat, which is where you take an earlier section and recreate it later in the level to fool players into thinking that they’ve been sent backwards. Other options for misdirection in a Super Mario Maker 2 troll level include multiple pipes to travel through, with the real one very well hidden, using power ups and coins to tempt people to do something or to choose the wrong path, using arrows to send people the wrong way and then the right way and then the wrong way again, and making the right way to go appear to be impossible when in all reality it can be done. Finally, there’s the dreaded soft block, which will trap them with no way of to die, so they’ll either have to ride out the clock to return to their last check point flag or quit the level and start right from the beginning. Equally, you can send people back to earlier areas or even an earlier checkpoint if you want to punish them a little. They can also lead to areas that will go nowhere, but there’s something in there that they need to get in order to make it through the real route like a power up, Yoshi, bomb, switch, key or whatever else you can think of. Your dead-end branches can then either lead to death traps where the only option is to get killed, or lead nowhere, which means players will have to retrace their steps to find the right route. This means when you start each section, construct more than one route route with only one of them being correct. The starting point to misdirection is branching your level regularly. Distract gamers with a big jump that requires perfect execution, but leads to a dead end while the real route is through a warp tunnel off screen. Tempt players with obvious answers that mask the real route to the next section. What you’re trying to do here is the Super Mario equivalent of close up magic.
