http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/10/super_mario_maker_gets_mid-level_checkpoints_and_more_in_upcoming_update
Woohoo!
Mario: It's about time!
Pretty hyped for this update. I'll finally be able to add checkpoints to my courses! (Some of them desperately need checkpoints!)
Also, I'll be updating one of my courses' layouts. Specifically, Treasure at Stay Fresh Waters.

It's a shame not that many people are playing/clearing my courses. And I have no idea what's the best way to get it spread out to the community better...

There is an upcoming update for Splatoon.
You can read the Patch Notes for Splatoon Ver. 2.2.0 here!
Also, you can plan out battles and check the status of your friends using SplatNet. All you have to do is log in with your Nintendo Network ID, similar to using Miiverse. Both are connected, so logging out from SplatNet also logs you off Miiverse.

New course! Don't be afraid to comment and Star after you've played through the levels, so I can post more. I'd really appreciate it.
You're free to also share my courses to other sites too~

Treasure at Stay Fresh Waters
(17F4-0000-00B0-1075)
My underwater Splatoon level is here! It should be around Normal or Medium difficulty. Just be careful squiddin' around in this open sea. The final part involves some maneuvering around Boo Buddies. I've hidden a Builder Mario, Dr. Mario, and 2 Lucario costumes. Enjoy exploring all around Stay Fresh Waters!

Like the game's slogan says, "If you can dream it, you can make it." 
Once you get posting, it may be helpful to eventually post advice sometimes in the comments. Seems like several of my levels may need some. I usually put advice in "Spoilers" so it's normally hidden.
I have no advice on how to share levels. There is the obvious upload, but what I mean is for getting others to go through it. I haven't really had anyone share mine at other sites, and it sometimes feels weird to share levels at others' comment sections, unless they actually encourage it. There's also not a lot of us here in this thread, but for sure, we'll give your creations a try~
Hope you get the game and make great levels!
Once you get posting, it may be helpful to eventually post advice sometimes in the comments. Seems like several of my levels may need some. I usually put advice in "Spoilers" so it's normally hidden.
- Make sure you can beat your level several times before you decide to post it.
- You can determine what you're level's icon is going to be depending on the area you're at when you Save! It'll probably look much more appealing than showing the Start Ground.
- Don't put too many traps in your level. That's just quite a huge nuissance. If you have a misleading area that's part of a puzzle, make sure it doesn't force a death or cause the player to restart.
- You can use amiibo (or play through the 100-Mario Challenge) to unlock Mystery Mushroom costumes! You could think of a theme for the Super Mario Bros. style (only) to make a theme based on the character. "Squiddin' the Skies" uses Splatoon's Inklings as the Mystery Mushroom costumes in the level.
- If you have an area that might be a very tough section to jump the first time, you could add a bridge or safe area to land at for the player to be able to continue and somehow get back without having to restart the level entirely. My "Airship Station" level something like that. I give them a little setback if they miss the jump instead of fall off to the pit. "Squiddin' the Skies" has an area that gives necessary Mystery Mushrooms for a particular puzzle I included in the level
- Well, that was said already... When you get the game, you should play the 10-Mario Challenge in order to unlock the pre-made courses that's available with the game. They may give you some ideas.
- You can use the layout from the Title Screen to create and Save. Maybe the layout will give you an idea on how to make your adventure.
- Use sound effects to make the level feel less bland or boring to go through. But like Rikaria said, when you unlock Sound Effects... don't overuse them!
- Super Mario Maker comes with an Idea Book. Use the codes in the book to input in the Manual to watch some videos that's included in the game for ideas. Or just enjoy the creative things Nintendo has crammed in to it.
- People love levels with creative designs. Think creative! Make the blocks appear like sprites or combine elements to make it look unique. Work with the theme or story in mind when creating a level.
- Give your levels Creative Names! It's probably a good idea to not keep naming levels with the same name, and just a number, unless you are seemingly going for a "series" of levels.
- Don't overuse enemies in one area!! There are a lot of "hard" levels that consist on mainly luck rather than skill. Only use enough of what's needed in the area to maneuver around.

Wacky Trials Castle
(198C-0000-0097-2DFF)
A short castle stage taking inspiration from the Super Mario Maker Idea Book. Have a look for yourself. There are Warp Doors in the beginning to reset the area without having to Restart, if you accidentally take out the Magikoopa you need to clear the path. Enjoy!
Airship Station
(A185-0000-00A0-8C4F)
Another airship level! I actually designed part of it on paper first, before implementing it to Super Mario Maker. Mainly the sub-area, so you don't see it in the main layout when you view it in-game. This has alternate paths of varying difficulty. It's not too long. Hopefully you'll be able to clear it.

*gasp* A new Level? You gotta be squiddin' me!
Squiddin' the Skies
(FA77-0000-0085-1F1F)
Have fun! This level requires some jumping on cannonballs. Beware the Bloopers.
Also, I love the Airship Theme that they made for Classic SMB~

I've posted my first level!
Springy Village
(1999-0000-004C-1A41)
Based on the Starter tutorial level. And you can probably tell what will be involved in the title...
Second level! I hope you all enjoy~
Light Up, Inquire Goals Inside

While long levels are nice and all, the fact that there's no checkpoints in this game kinda ruins the enjoyment, especially if you get far in the level then get hit by an enemy/object/etc. while you're Small Mario
THIS!! ^
I think I lost about 80 lives in the Alternative Fright level, and there was a point I almost reached the flag, but suddenly, THWOMP!
Also, I hate the Lost Lives counter. Always had. And there are so many cheap deaths in most levels...

I already have it paid off, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get ahold of any bundles... Really hoping I'll be able to get the 8-bit Mario amiibo (Retro or Modern), though.I'm sure there will be some players who will "timejump" (can't think of what to call it) just to unlock everything on Day 1, but I'm actually gonna wait the full nine days.Also, I already have a list of stuff I wanna try out after looking at so many videos as well as wanting to try something with the music blocks.
EDIT: Change of plans: the nine day unlocking system was removed in a 1.01 patch!
Initial reaction: Aww, lame. That's even worse than having to wait 9 days to "unlock" stuff, now they're just making it all available?!
After reading: Ah, I understand now. The reward-based unlocking method is much better than having to wait or time travel. Would have taken it more negatively if everything was unlocked at the start.

I reached B+ rank with a rating of SO HAWT! It felt so rewarding!
Congratulations! That's where I'm at right now. Hoping I can raise it up.
Also, I had fun playing with/against you in Turf War. ROLLLEEERRRRSSS!!!

Ha ha, this is still a thing. I guess that's frankly annoying. 
When you wanna play a game with someone who hasn't picked up to play said game for a while, but still refuses to because they're "not in the mood." Makes me wonder when they'll ever be in the mood without me concerning...

This thread could probably be used to share Super Mario Maker level codes or something... when the game comes out in September 11... 
The price is the standard $59.99. Who's going to get the game on the day it comes out? Are you intimidated by the price and would rather wait, or are you ready to give Nintendo your loot and create some great levels?!

We should do a Private Battle some time, where we just squid around instead of doing serious Turf War. For fun. 
(And we don't earn points in Private Battle anyway. More fun squidding around when not around people with serious Turf Warring)
The other Ranked Battle modes are also in Private Battle, without affecting our ranks. It's all about having fun and squiddin' around.

Made a couple new Splatoon-related pics...
Also, I'm really not sure which side to pick for this Splatfest. I'm not really a TRANSFORMERS fan.
Also, it'd be neat to know who has Splatoon, and if we've added each other. It'd be nice to meet up in Regular, Private, or Squad Battles...

Splatfest with USA and Europe differ.
The third Splatfest will be Roasting Marshmallows over the fire, or Roasting Hot Dogs over the fire?
For Europe, it's North Pole vs. South Pole.

I like a lot of the Shooters with good fire rate and decent range. I've been good with the Splattershot Jr. and Aerospray MG. Despite my horrible start with the Inkbrush, I ended up getting good with it and liking it, other than the button mashing.

Whichever it is, certainly a lot of interesting and lovely backgrounds to be seen in this thread.
I use this as one of the images for my Start Screen. (it cuts to just around the center area)
I think GamePaw made a modified wallpaper version, but I forgot where the source was...

Splatoon has been super fun so far. Shame that no one's been commenting. So I guess I'll leave my thoughts on it.
Regular Battles have been pretty fun. Something I find annoying with it is that our teams are randomized, when we're with friends. They did mention in the Nintendo Direct that they'll update that, so I guess I'll just need to have fun, while knowing some of my friends are rivals.
Ranked Battle gets pretty intense. But it doesn't feel fair. Sometimes it's a struggle to be on a weak team, or completely dominating in a winning team. You'd be lucky to stay in a winning team to improve your ranking. It's annoying, but it is a nice "competitive" mode.
