Yo friend! Today we’re about to dive into the wacky world of making a Super Mario Maker game on Scratch. Yep, you heard me right! You know, that platform where you can make games like you’re a big ol’ game developer but without needing a PhD in computer science or anything. It’s easier than stealing candy from a baby… assuming the baby is sleeping.
So grab some snacks, hunker down in your gaming room, and let’s make a game that even Bowser would be proud of! (Or run away from screaming)
Step 1: Get Scratchy
First things first, go to the Scratch website. Just Google “Scratch” and it’ll pop right up like a cute little mushroom in Super Mario Land. If you don’t have an account yet, just make one! It’s super easy like pie. And who doesn’t like pie? Unless it has raisins… then that’s a hard pass.
Step 2: Choose Your Character
Okay now pick your character! You want Mario? Go for it! Or maybe Luigi if you’re feeling fancy. Maybe Toad? Just remember he’s not much of a fighter and more of a cheerleader. But hey, everyone loves cheerleaders right? You can even use your own doodles if you’re feeling artsy. Get wild!
Step 3: Make Your Level
Now it’s time to build the actual level. This is where the fun really happens! Drag and drop blocks to create platforms like you’re building with digital LEGOs. Add those squishy mushrooms and flying Koopas cause who doesn’t want flying turtles ruining their day? I mean come on who wouldn’t?
Step 4: Add Enemies
But wait, what fun is a level without baddies trying to ruin your day? You need enemies like Goombas or Bowser himself—if you’re feeling super brave (or slightly insane). Just remember don’t add too many or it might turn into an all-out turtle war.
Step 5: Create Challenges
Now for some challenges! Add some jumps that are so high they make you feel like you’re in an Olympic long jump competition—only with less gold medals and more random explosions when you fall off the edge.
Step 6: Sound Effects & Music
You gotta add sound effects bro!! Nothing screams “I’m gaming” quite like annoying sound effects every time Mario jumps or gets hit by something (poor guy). And music—and I mean epic tunes—make everything better. Pick something catchy until it gets stuck in your head for three weeks straight.
Step 7: Share & Laugh
Finally, share your masterpiece with all your friends! Tell them to play it and record their reactions as they scream or laugh while failing miserably at your level design. Remember this is all about having fun!
