Kaizo Level Contest (THAT'S ALL FOLKS!)

[Spider]

Can I join?

BTW, is any level made with version 1.4.2 acceptable?

Rules and Guidelines:
Violation of a rule in red will have you diqualified.
Violation of a rule in orange will reduce your final score by one point per rule broken.
Not following a guideline in black will not directly affect your score, however the judges will likely mark you down for not following these.

• Your level must fall within the Kaizo genre.
• You may not share any information about your level: This includes posting screenshots, download links, videos, discussing gimmicks or features of your level, or any other means of giving out information that could give away which level is yours to the judges.
• You may not use the Chinese build of SMBX referred to as 1.4.1 or features not included with the most recent LunaLua package, such as features from SMBX 2.0 Beta.
• You may only submit one level: If you would like to send an updated version of your submission before the deadline, that is acceptable and you will not be marked down.
• Your level must be completable and finished.
• Your level may not force the player to exploit any of SMBX’s glitches other than the following: (1) Ducking into a space shorter than the player, resulting in the player moving through a wall (2) Spinjumping into a player block resulting in the player to continue to spinjump, even if the new character usually cannot (3) Spinjumping while falling and holding an object with playerblocktop = 1, resulting in the player being able to jump again.
• You must provide player blocks to specify what characters the level is completable with: Unless the level is completable with Mario, please include character blocks.
• The level must end in an SMB3 star: A custom graphic of the SMB3 star is allowed, but anything besides that, such as a roulette exit, is not allowed.
• The level cannot end the game.
• Don't put the level file in the graphics folder: If you use custom graphics, make sure they are in a seperate folder from the level file.
• Don't use any music files that by themselves exceed six minutes in length.
• Don't include more than one secret star.
• Just because your level is hard, doesn't mean it shouldn't be visually appealing and be good from a design point-of-view as well.
• Although your level doesn't need to be completely fair, your level will likely not score well if you use poor design elements such as enemy spam, random NPCs or lava spawning out of nowhere, etc.
• It is highly not recommended that you submit a joke level.
• By submitting your level, you agree to have your level included in a likely-to-happen contest episode containing all of the submitted levels: If you have any issues with this, please send a message to PixelPest via PM.
• Don't forget to test your level!

I guess it isn't accepted then... since 1.4.2 is the english version of the chinese version (which isn't allowed)

Bad luck.

I wont be able to finish

[MECHDRAGON777]

I am currently ripping a tileset I ripped to a spritesheet.

Edit: Scrap that, I do not have the time for that.

Edit 2: My level is about 60% done.

Hope you'll be able to finish

Yay! Not long to go now. Can't wait to see results.

I hope my level doesn't get disqualified. And if it does, can it still be part of the episode? Just in... somewhere else...

I'll try to find some way to work it in if it does

Good morning everyone, looks like five hours remain? To bad I just woke up and near done. Oh well. Good luck everyone!

For the record, my level is beatable (I was able to do it all). It is just insanely hard. Not my hardest, but I hope you all can do it. (or not, as long as video is not required this time around)

Edit: I submitted 1 second before the deadline, which has hit. Good luck everyone.

[PixelPest]

With two last minute submissions that just barely made the cut, the submission period is now over with an overwhelming 10 submissions. I never expected so many! Thank you to everyone who made this contest a success including those who criticized the rules at the beginning and helped me improve it and the 9 other people who submitted levels (besides myself).

But that's not it. I will hopefully have the levels compiled and sent to the judges by tomorrow or Friday. Expect results around two to three weeks after that (probably around early to mid-June), starting with places 10-3 and then top 2 revealed the day after.

Good luck to all who submitted!

[Alagirez]

Ahhhh, i'm too late T_T
good luck for everyone else!

[Spider]

Good luck to everyone and may the best level win!

I can tell you I will not. (Have you seen my patience/determination?) Anyway, when will we get sent the levels?

Wherebdoes the sodium Chloride come from here?

Hey PixelPest: just a question, when you send us the levels, are you going to send a rubric you want is to use, or do we judge as any old contest?

You can use your own rubric to calculate the final score you wish to give a level if you choose to, but no, I won't provide one and neither do I personally plan on using one. And of course you'd still need to write a blurb about your opinion of the level

[Nerx]

Good luck to everyone, I hope I don't get last place :P

[snoruntpyro]

Nah don't worry, I have last place in the bag :P

[RoundPiplup]

I'll get last place in difficulty terms please.

[mariogeek2]

Man, I can't wait for Bossedit8 to LP the episode. He'll have so much fun! cough*sarcasm*cough.
