castlewars wrote:To be exact, I announced joke levels exactly five days after Lock Lollipops was posted, and I was already planning on a Block Bollocks-style joke level before Lock Lollipops was posted (I had actually just begun it right before Lock Lollipops was posted). And no bossedit8, they've become really repetitive because of the bad timing of the announcement, as well as KoolKat's level.

Which actually was only a blatant edit of the first level from reghrhres episode and no credit was given of course..

Considering it was completely unrecognizable, with spammy power-ups and blocks erased everywhere, with the CGFX all gone. Credit actually was given, after the base was found, of course.

It's also very creative, because it shows gimmicks on how to make even a simple Goomba a boss. Now about joke levels; they are fun just like any other level unless the deliberate "joke" in them is merely clash and shitty music. However, there are some qualities that make joke levels funny. First off, it's ok to have npcs placed in a certain order or made to look like something, provided they don't spam. Second, joke level music is ok when the music isn't just some youtube-poop-quality commentary. Things like the Nyan Cat Theme and Troll Song are funny in joke levels, but not things like youtube poop's "You must die" that repeat in a way that makes it song-like. Third (this is where the true definition of clash goes. Good work, Joey), there is a difference between joke graphics and clashing graphics. Joke graphics usually fit together with the cheesy art style, so that's ok, but misusing blocks to make it have clash (such as a well-pixelated block in a crowd of 1-color blocks) is just plaing laziness. Those are my personal thoughts only, though.

In that case, would Cheezburger Hillz be classified as good or bad?

Anna wrote:Joke levels like Cheezburger Hillz are among a kind of joke level which revolves around Mario-based gameplay but based on non-gaming media. Other examples are things like Amateur Lands and Cool Hills, and the random Frozen references might be part of another group of joke levels themed on Frozen. A Frozen-themed level has yet to make an appearance but I've played Frozen Hills with a Valtteri cover and my CC8 entry has random Frozen references throughout, right down to the title. They are serious levels but a joke level on this hasn't been seen yet.

And ElTipsta as well, he makes joke levels as well but a lot of his serious levels have funny names.

Valtteri is a central feature around 80% of joke levels, and are made about him. Whether it has led Valtteri to make VoR I don't know.
