Last week I asked you fine Mario Makers to create some levels that were all about the summer heat. I got a ton of courses and each offering various takes on “Summertime Fun.” Some went for vacations and beaches, others went for hellish nightmares.
But we all need to have a talk about something. Way too many of you folks decided to add evil suns to your levels. What did I do to wrong? Why punish me like that? Please. I work so hard to create content for you. Spare me from the deadly sun.
Also, if you want to play all the courses you can check out my Mario Maker 2 profile where I liked all the levels that I played for this contest. This is probably the easiest way to play all these courses without having to enter in dozens of ID codes.

Now, below are some of my favorite courses and a short description of the course and what I liked about it.

Mario’s Magic Trip | Marco XD | 259-VVY-S2G
Sometimes summer is a lot of fun. Then sometimes you eat some bad mushrooms and trip hard. A short and fun level with a nice twist on the theme.

Corner Pocket Summer | RaganrokSam | DON-NY1-OGF
There are a lot of puzzle courses in Mario Maker 2, but few of them are as fun to play as this course. Not a lot of platforming, but some solid level design and puzzles to solve.

Lost In The Desert | Talon227 | NSG-LDY-KYG
Summertime isn’t always fun. Sometimes you get lost in the desert.

Summer Days | Sethinon | XL5-NG9-L8G
A short level that is well made and filled with some creative puzzles that didn’t feel unfair or too hard. Also, the details and theming were really good.

Desert Coin Quest | Th3OSTRICH | XQT-9LS-GDG
Collecting coins in the desert shouldn’t be this fun. But this level uses some great sloped sections to add some variety and silly action.

Crispy Cove | Letheo | GC5-XV8-F9G
I have a soft spot for levels like this. Just a solid level filled with platforming, details and classic Mario action. One of my favorites out of the bunch.

Summer Time Fun Wave! | T.Phatom | XLT-4PH-J4G
This level is tricky to get the timing down, but the wave is so creative and cool I wanted to feature in my list of favorites. Not a level I had a lot of fun playing, but a really cool idea done well.
If your level didn’t make it on to the featured list, don’t worry. There were too many to list them all and I had to limit the list.
