Why Aren't There Any Vertical Music Levels in Super Mario Maker 2?

Have you ever noticed that there aren't any vertical music levels? Do a search on Youtube for "Best Mario Maker 2 Music Levels" and I'd almost guarantee you won't find any. Why is that? I explain it here in this video.

So after 4YMM and many other examples, it's clear that vertical music levels are possible and this video is very wrong. However, even though it's possible it takes a lot more planning and testing and the level always requires a starting fall or scrolling to get the notes setup, so you couldn't ever have music start from checkpoint, it'd need the preparation scrolling to get everything working

I watched this video and a couple of hours later... well, this is a vertical music level: 1SQ-VSY-37G

Good to know..even if I don't make music levels

[JNSStudios]

You could probably make the SM64 Endless Stairs theme with the constant rising pitch.

I will have this pinned comment for anyone who posts an actual vertical music level! If you post a level id that isn't a vertical music level I'll delete it. So far here is the one that was posted, I'll post others if you comment and I verify them:
1SQ-VSY-37G
4LH-L8F-5JG
12P-G4X-XGG
PTG-JL3-6KG (not really music, but a decent effort)
DKV-FM6-N5G

Everyone: Vertical music levels are impossible....

Danny: Hold my note block.

[claudio-maker]

Me: so are vertical music levels impossible? Danny: well yes but actually no

[justforlawlsandtrolls]

Well, at least music make you lose control is possible

There is someone who was able to create vertical Music Levels successfully. I forgot the name of the creator, but I seen the vertical music level in one of Juzcooks videos. The only vertical Music level I can think of I can think of right now, is the Bowser Fight music from Super Mario 64. If Nintendo added the editor mode on levels that we downloaded, we could probably see how the setups work. But anyways, great video!

The song is called "Hot Cross Buns" the lyrics go, hot cross buns, hot cross buns. One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns

I've always wondered this! Even when i was making my music courses I was wondering if my songs would be able to go into a vertical section but I just decided it might be to hard to make it work lol. Great and informative video Danny, keep it up 👍

[Evanpianomaster]

Great video Danny! I love when you make music level videos. I'm an Music Creator w/18K Maker Points, so I absolutely love seeing our genre of levels get this kind of love! I'm friends with a "technical" creator who specializes in creating glitches and machines, but he also specializes in Music Track Levels too. He's working on some music levels that actually take advantage of the vertical system, so it's pretty interesting! :)

This is extremely well edited by the way

[FireballBen]

Why does he only have 9K he should have at least 100K

What about Super Seigen's Eternal Lullaby? THAT'S a vertical music level!

[claudio-maker]

Com_poser: sees vertical feature on Mario maker 2 for the first time. Also Com_poser: wow this is worthless!

[everysecond]

This maker:
0S6-VFJ-S7G
Some examples of theirs:
MJK-NPJ-2PF
K5Y-7DQ-4KG
J5W-071-L0H
The creator Jimzan immediately comes to mind. While track-based music loop contraptions are very much a thing (although difficult to construct), this creator seems to take full advantage of long falls in vertical levels as a loading mechanism for longer and more complex music loops. They're truly something to behold.

Super Seigens eternal lullaby. **sticks tongue out at Danny**

[swiftz]

I learned more about music with this video then music class now that’s sad

[ActuallyMoist]

I can’t even make a basic tune sound nice in smm2 I suck at making music levels
So thanks for teaching me a few of the basics!
