You must PM me your level or be disqualified
Cannot be a joke level
Level must be NSMB style

GUIDELINES:
Useless graphics restriction which makes no sense since most custom graphics are also 16bit. The levels I created for my episode also feature 16-bit graphics
I ain't havin' infinite time for this (June 5th)
We don't want to spoil the episode fun
We don't want a laugh out of the episode
You need to use a style which isn't well-received

JUDGE:
The guy who makes the episode. The godfather, if you will

Winners get an unfinished version of whatever episode I'm working on. There are literally two episodes called SM2DW in the projects forum. I can't come up with original names.
Don't make a contest level

FTFY

Even if the rule wasn't written, the chance of someone submitting a decent joke level matching all other conditions are rather slim. And if there was one, he shouldn't turn it down and maybe add it in the special world or something, or as a bonus level. If it's a good level, why reject it?

In the lack-of-creativity-in-coming-up-with-a-good-name part I was weighting projects which slightly alter existing Nintendo game names against projects with all-unique names. I'm not referring to SM2DW's alone.

I think you didn't catch my drift in the first post: I was, especially in the first paragraph of the quote, trying to highlight that all this contest is is you recruiting people to take work off your shoulders. I don't think people are gonna do this. Maybe, if some more fundamental conditions are met (popularity of the project (maybe 20 pages and 60+% progress) and the chance of it being finished (trust me, I see many people dropping their projects out of all sudden)), but not in the current state. You'd be better off offering positions on your project's thread.

Lol nsmb style. There are only a few good looking nsmb ones.

Smb2, 3 or smw would be a good thing tho.
Also way to call yourself godfather lmao.
So if i see this right you do this bc you don't have any ideas left.. Mhm k.

If you had a legit prize, no dumb restrictions about graphics and this contest wasn't all an excuse for have people making levels for your project, maybe someone would actually join.

Snowburger got the name from the SMW hack!

Hey,it's true ya know.Anyway,I'd love to join this,but like everyone seems to be saying there's not much time and NSMB graphics are quite rare.
Because of the deadline,if I DO submit my level it won't be the best.
Now,you didn't say much about genre,so I'm thinking for my level-
NSMBU Ice Tileset from Reghrhre's pack.I'dd definatly do that if I'm allowed.But,is there any default custom graphics I need to know about?I think you used custom smb3 special blocks in this...
