Yeah guys seriously cut out submitting so many joke levels at once. They are fun every now and then, but not when there's fucktons of them.

And yeah, with regards to Touhou-styled levels, bossedit8 is the place to go for inspiration, as he knows what he is doing as he plays it. Unfortunately if you don't really know it, then I'd gain the knowledge before making a Touhou styled level. Otherwise you'll end up making Mechdragon's MaGLX entry all over again.

that's all.
and sorry if i sounded rude. again.

It does sound rude. But, if you removed the cussing...

I LOL'd at the music and all the LOLcats everywhere. The boss was something really funny as well. I suspect the Frozen references were there as you were expecting me to play it?

Well, yeah.

What about the Tower of Biased series? Would the episodes all be unavaliable to download? Would it be cancelled?

I actually played it because of the Frozen references. However, it needs more Frozen references! Get out there and make a level laden with Frozen references and submit it!...as long as it's not my CC8 level.

"I politely wish this level would never exist." isn't all that better in comparison.

Who could explain right, what a "joke level" is meant to be ^^?

I never will get, who invented the "a joke level needs to be of SMBX-crashing quality"-rule to the public.
I would have nothing against joke levels, but unfortunately in the SMBX-community, they seem to mean only, to have bad quality, instead of fun, in my opinion.
I for myself never played any joke level, that really tried to be funny in a nice way with events, dialogues, or GFX of any kind, except for the strong language and pervert-part.
I really wished, people would focus more on actual jokes, than like joke of a level.

Sorry if I sounded rude. Rudeness isnt intended, but I don't know how to say it in any other way :-/.


About "danmaku" or "Touhou"-levels, I really like the concept of it, but it needs serious quality to work, in my opinion. It must be done with a good amount of time, and with a good amount of ideas, to work.
But I cannot say much about the Mario-ports in SMBX of it, since I never played more than one there. But it is a nice idea at least ^^.

Try Cheezburger Hillz. It's my joke level, which has no crashing or spammy gameplay.

Lol, self level advertiser. XD

I mean, he could try Messed Up Mario Bros 1-1, I guess....

I was just kidding with you.

You mean Rite?

If you would go to deadfish and say to him "Yo dude stop that pls" All he would say would be this

"Mooth"

Now for the Touhou section, I kind of both agree and disagree. The part with "No one likes insanely hard levels." Yeah, tell that to the people that play hard games like Dark Souls, I Wanna be the Guy, Battle Toads, and other hard games. And trust me, people do enjoy those games. It may be frustrating, but there is a feeling of both relief and accomplishment when you do beat it. Certain people happen to like those kind of things, but you make it out to be where everyone doesn't like it.

Yeah, but he was talking about some Eric's touhou style levels. The last one was just a spam of bullet bills.

What if it's both, like my CC8 or SMWCX entry?

Mudkip wrote:These guys think "Touhou" is a new word for "Kaizo".

Seeing as how neither word originally had anything to do with difficulty, that might not be far from the truth.

I made a level like that (Crash Prevention), but it was before I knew what was considered by the community to be a "joke level."

People design whatever they like, and it's their choice whether or not to share it. Tell me what video game designing degree you have to boss other people around and tell them to basically fuck off with levels they thought were cool or fun and wanted to share. You have to remember also that humor differs from person to person. The entire OP post about joke levels seems judgmental as fuck. What would you describe a good joke level? Inside Joke humor that no one outside of the normal community even knows? Offensive jokes like 9/11, the holocaust, the KKK, or rape? Or would you rather have normal and unoffensive humor that is centered around children ALA just what Mario is made for? Humor is not an easy thing to do and nobody is going to be 100% happy, it's just impossible.

tl;dr
Quit your bitching and let the community make whatever the fuck they want to make.

Well if you're gonna take that stance, then I'm gonna take this:

It's justified to complain about bad levels and levels in poor taste just the same as it is to make them and believe they're hot shit.

Who cares? You're not being forced to play it. Plus if we assume this was in a normal episode for SMBX, you can use the Tanooki suit to avoid a bit of it I assume.

It's not justified though to tell the entire community to stop designing these levels
