Unfortunately, Super Mario Maker doesn’t support checkpoints through traditional means. But one player has come up with a unique system that’s been put to use in a great level.

During different portions of “Junior Airship Showdown”, you’ll be given a “password”. This is what is ultimately used to get past a lock mechanism players can visit at the start of the level. If you have the correct password, a bomb will destroy blocks and you can proceed to the checkpoint area.

It’s probably best if you watch the video below for a clearer explanation. To see the actual checkpoint system, skip forward to the 7-minute warning. Just beware of some strong language!
