No shoutout to me ;_;

castlewars guess thing: 2/3 + 1/5 = 3/8 Wow, look at me add, looks like I raised good!!!1

Man, the competition for 1st place is intense, I can see almost everyone in the top 10 reaching it. Good luck everyone else, even though that's stupid to say since I'm gonna win anyways. (inb4 I'm in 10th place)

and me...?

CastleWars review of sick ass swamp romp is some major garbage.

Cut that out, please. That was unnecessarily rude.

Your review is complete shit, sorry, it's just the truth.

Even so, in terms of normal platforming, this level would have been better if it had maintained the moving water gimmick and the Skull Switch

Why exactly would the level of been better?

but if the player waits for too long, particularly in section 9, progress will be halted because the Sparks will fill up the whole screen and make any form of movement, including jumping, impossible without getting hit or dying,

Oh man, you mean if the player makes a mistake in a platforming level, they get punished by losing a life or getting hit? Who would of thought!

the huge number can hint that this level isn't serious and it's just a joke

what the fuck does this even mean? why is it in your review? how does it affect the quality of the level in any meaningful way?

Also, the end caps it off with the Toad lying and Mario swearing - elements you won't see in your traditional Mario level.

again, what relevance does this even have to the level? how does it affect the quality?
at best, you completely fail to explain individual points. at worst, your points are nonsensical and irrelevant.

Yes, I know I can't do anything about my score, but still, I gotta complain about castlewars' judging of my level:

castlewars wrote:However, this level appears to suffer from the fact that if you choose Peach or Toad the level becomes impossible because they won't be able to clear some of the jumps at the start of the level.

I tried again right now, and the prison section IS possible with Peach and Toad!

This is also the case in the airship section playing as any character because if they end up falling into the NPC generators it's impossible to escape.

The pits are five to seven blocks deep! How come you aren't able to escape the pits again? If you talk about Peach or Toad, then okay. But as you're able to ride on Green Yoshi after you fought him, and as Luigi is a pretty high jumper, the jumps are clearly possible using Mario or Luigi.

The Dragon Coins were a nice concept but it appears a lot of them were placed in awkward spots...

Isn't that the whole concept of Dragon Coins, making them as hard to reach as possible?

...while one particular one in Bowser Jr.'s room can take nearly three minutes to jump up to...

Not THAT long if you know how to stack vegetables the fast way. Hold DOWN while letting go of the veggie.

However the projectile bomb generators in the boss room can actually kill the boss themselves without the player's input.

The concept of the final boss was meant to be like that. Not a "stomp or shoot" boss battle, but a "survive longer than your enemy" boss battle. A regular battle against Green Yoshi would've been kinda boring.

I petition for an exemption vote on castlewar's review unless he can offer meaningful justification. He seems to think that levels he deems "jokes" must be massively scordd down due to some asinine belief that if a level includes humor it's instantly awful.

I completely support this! Humor doesn't always make a level bad. Actually, humor often makes a level awesome. And I see no problem with a Toad lying and Mario swearing. Not all Mario-themed levels must be child-friendly.

Jes. Igno got that one right, mooth. Like, Wind's winner level from some past Tower Of Biased had some humor too.

i fucking agree

Yeah, it's not like TI2 didn't have jokes. Remember Gary the pet Goomba? Also remember Pricess Cliche V1 with all the forum Toads? Jokes have always been in SMBX.

I support Ignoritus' idea totally.

I agree, first of all, castlewars revealed which was my level before other judges were done reviewing

And second, his scores get screwed because of "hurr this level had one joke which means it was meant to not be a v. serious level"

Bomber57 · Postby **Bomber57** » Mon May 12, 2014 3:30 pm

I agree. castlewars doesn't review very well and deducted points for trivial reasons. He also deliberately stated he would give a certain user a higher score because he is his friend. (Wont name names, but many of you know who.)
