The Thrills and Frustrations of Playing Mario Maker

As I sat down to play Mario Maker, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and trepidation. I had heard so much about this game from friends and online communities, and I was eager to try it out for myself. But as soon as I started playing, I realized that I wasn't going to be as good at it as I thought I would be.

I made my way through the levels, trying to navigate through the various obstacles and challenges that came my way. But no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't seem to get it right. I would jump and twirl in all the wrong directions, and watch in horror as my character fell into pits and got squished by enemies. It was like I had forgotten everything I knew about video games.

As I played, I couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration and disappointment. I kept expecting to find some hidden secret or trick that would allow me to succeed, but it never seemed to come. Instead, I found myself stuck on the same spot over and over again, trying different things and getting nowhere. It was like I had been hit by a brick wall of failure.

But despite my frustration, I couldn't help but feel a sense of amusement at my own ineptitude. I mean, who expects to fail so spectacularly in a game that's supposed to be fun? I found myself laughing out loud as I watched my character fall into the abyss time and time again. It was like I had become a spectator in my own game, watching myself make mistake after mistake.

At one point, I found a level with a 23% clear rate, which seemed like an impossible task to me. But I decided to give it a try anyway, just for kicks. And as I played, I realized that maybe I wasn't as stupid as I thought I was. Maybe I just needed to think outside the box and try something different.

As I continued to play, I started to notice things about the game that I hadn't noticed before. Like how some of the levels were hidden in plain sight, waiting for me to discover them if I paid close enough attention. Or how some of the enemies had funny animations that made me laugh out loud. It was like I was seeing the game in a whole new light.

But just when I thought I was getting the hang of it, I'd stumble upon something that would throw me off completely. Like the time I found a level with a grandfather clock that started playing music. Or the time I discovered that some of the levels had secret doors and hidden passages. It was like the game was playing tricks on me, keeping me on my toes.

As I played on, I started to realize that Mario Maker wasn't just about completing levels - it was about having fun. Even when I failed, which was often, I couldn't help but laugh at myself and keep going. It was like I had found a new hobby, one that brought me joy and excitement even in the face of failure.

Eventually, I decided to take on the challenge of beating a level with a 476% completion rate. And as I waited patiently for my character to reach that milestone, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. What would happen when I finally got there? Would it be a sense of triumph and accomplishment, or just another case of failure?

In the end, I didn't make it. But even though I failed, I knew that I had still learned something valuable from playing Mario Maker. I had learned to laugh at myself and not take things too seriously. And I had discovered a new appreciation for the game's clever design and hidden secrets.

As I closed out my session with Mario Maker, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Maybe I wasn't as good at the game as I thought I was, but I had still managed to have fun and learn something new. And who knows? Maybe next time I'll be able to beat that level with a 476% completion rate. But until then, I'm just going to enjoy the ride and see where it takes me.
