Wii U exclusive Super Mario Maker is a hit with gamers, and it’s also very popular among game developers. As such, Polygon has regularly been releasing “Devs Make Mario” videos in which members of the industry try their hand at the level-creating game. The latest developer to star in the series is James Montagna, a longtime designer at WayForward Technologies who has worked on franchises like Shantae and Mighty Switch Force.

Super Mario Maker is actually quite popular around the WayForward office, and Montagna decided it would be fitting to include WayForward design philosophies in his level. If you know anything about WayForward, you know that means puzzles! His level, titled “Help From My Friends,” requires you to use the enemies you encounter as puzzle-solving tools.
