I tried using this "beginner" util and asked me for install & install & install more & more programs and dlls. I finally tried it and it is fine but, if you aren't going to make a total reconstruction of the game, use the classic editor. Like a complete editor is good, but for the 90% of hacks it is not necessary. Not recommended for easy or "beginner" hackers.

This is like sorcery.. Doing basic level editing is crazy simple. It also gives an insight to how clever some of the original level design is! I've been trying to make one of these "easy mode" level hacks (mainly removing frustrating sections) and this tool has been incredibly easy to use so far. You can also very quickly (within a few seconds) play test the level you're editing.

Sure, I haven't played Mario Maker, and if you're coming from that, I imagine this might be a step back, but I bet most people "around here" can appreciate just how great of an accomplishment this tool is!

Works Great, But Setting Warps Is Still very Tough to understand and often slips a programmers mind.

1. The Main Concern: It should let people 'Export maps' and Overworlds as files, that way you can Import them back into other your rom copies you make of your game hacks, much like how Lunar Magic lets you do this. It would save Tons of work, when trying to backtrack something because of a problem or glitch.

2. Sprite/Tile Editing needs to be built in still.

3. A World Map Editor - This still needs to be put in, even though people will use another tool/program for this.

This level editor is great, and in continuous development. Michael is dedicated and doing a great job for the SMB3 community. Keep up the good work!
