I think he's referring to Super Mario USA, the japanese name for SMB2 International.

So it appears that judging will be finishing soon.

Does anyone know what happens after that? Will iguzamini be making a hub world or overworld to put all the levels in, or will he immediately release a complete level pack once he finishes judging? Also, we all know raocow will LP this (eventually when the time comes, hopefully before he LPs MaGL X3), but are there others that have openly said they would also LP this?

That is good to hear. There has been a lot of great levels in this contest.

Am I expecting there to be a lot of ties in the results (Multiple 15.5)?

so,I will make the last video from now, but the post will be next week.
And, I need opinion in order to decide the award from 3top levels.

Why not just leave the top three as it is...?

They're all tied.

If you want a tiebreaker then I guess just ask a second neutral person (e.g. Horikawa) to break it

Tough call between Willhart and The0x539

Postby **Willhart** » Mon Apr 03, 2017 5:52 pm

Scaffolding of reality had some really nice gameplay and very cool gimmick. This would be my favorite of the two other ones.

Pause was based on an existing game called pause ahead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlE95meXUhI
It was well implemented but the smbx engine did not seem to handle the difficulty too well.

Diaphanous Diffraction Randomizer was made by me, and you can see a better video of it here:

I feel my level was the most expansive one, but I had a lot of trouble getting it to run well. I did get to play "Scaffolding of reality" too and it was really good, so I'm kind of tied between those two.

I will admit the physics of the Flash game are better suited for the gameplay style. I chose to go for keeping the standard Mario physics and playtesting extensively, but my options still ended up more limited as a result.

If I'm correctly informed, Mechdragon struggled with the level a bit less than iguzamini did, what that means is up to interpretation, heck if I know what it means.

I plan to put up a video of it myself, clearing it with most likely relatively few deaths due to being as unblind as a run can be, and no recording hitches, and I'll put up a non-LCJ-formatted download link with the double jump bug fixed in the video's description. This might happen tonight (US central). Willhart, you may have already gotten a link from Mechdragon, if not you can get in touch and I can for sure get you a copy today for you to make your own firsthand judgments (should you so desire).

I also would have liked a slightly higher score on the graphics. Those were all custom made for the level, and they also used a lot of animation and fit together well in my opinion. I guess the slowdown could have factored on this though.

Postby **The0x539** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 9:38 pm

I think if iguzamini is to pass any further judgment, Pause should be played in its entirety first. There could be a room he really likes or hates, and more importantly, the last few rooms actually do do something slightly different.

PixelPest · Postby **PixelPest** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 10:21 pm

I agree. That kinda gives it a disadvantage and isn't really fair.

Graphics scores overall were also totally wacked

iguzamini · Postby **iguzamini** » Wed Apr 05, 2017 6:10 am

Certainly, "pose" is evaluated once on the way.
When play this rest,
· Maybe rescore
· Maybe points change
If this is acceptable, I will post a video before decide awards.

I will not change the score of the two top score stages
I will not change the score of other stages.
(Because I rescore once)
