RESULTS HERE

SURPRISE! Small vanilla contest starts NOW!
This is experimental. People are busy during the holidays. So I'll keep it simple and quick.

THE PREMISE
Create your first release of the new year. Your level MUST be submitted during your timezone's January 1.
You can start designing NOW. You can also be done designing tomorrow. But you must submit on that day. (If you have no means of accessing a PC on that day to submit just submit via PM and I'll not open the PM until submission close and we can pretend)

OPTIONAL BONUS THEME
This serves inspiration. It doesn't affect your score. I encourage people to consider this theme, but no pressure.
Your level may utilize one of the following in an interesting or unique way:
- Snowball (Fliprus or Spike)
- Starman (SMB2, SMW or Invincibility Monitor)
- Bob-omb (SMB2, SMB3, SMW)

RULES
- ONE SMBX2 Beta 5 level per person
- Common sense stuff like "don't steal", "follow the forum rules"
- NO TEAMS but you may help each other out as much as you want. The level should just be clearly discernible as the submitting individual's work.
- VANILLA RULES. NOT VANILLISH. ONLY SUBMIT A LVLX AND THE MUSIC FILES YOU USED.
- MESSAGE BOXES ARE BANNED (this includes talking NPCs and events that show a message)
- SUBMISSIONS EXCEEDING 3MB IN SIZE WILL BE IGNORED.
- Enable the LEVEL TIMER in Level Settings. Your level must be beatable from any starting point (start point and any check point) within a total of 300 seconds. (you may choose to put a shorter timer)
- One exit (any except palace switch), as many SMW stars or star coins as you want. All SMW stars/star coins + exit must be reasonably obtainable within the time limit as well.
- I judge the levels based on how invested i am in their gameplay (laughing crying cheering, simple dumb fun or unexpected surprises). real quality-over-quantity type judging so keep that in mind.

SUBMIT IN THIS THREAD
ASK QUESTIONS IN THIS THREAD, TOO

DEADLINE: WHEN JANUARY 1 IS OVER FOR YOU

AAAA VANILLAAAAAAAAA

Is there some way to do a scheduled post (like for me to send it way earlier but not actually deliver until a set time)? I'm interested in participating, but I won't have access to a computer on Janurary 1. Thanks in advance! EDIT: Also are basegame costumes allowed such as SMW-Mario?

Does the final version of my entry need to have the level timer enabled when submitted?

Edit: Oh, and I forgot to ask. Are there any character bans?

Can my submission have multiple exits if all of them but one have Friendly enabled? (I kind of want to use flag poles for decoration)

It's not an exit if it's unobtainable.

Scientists hate him!
He went from having to obey to
breaking the laws of gravity
by only using this ONE WEIRD TRICK

Play this level yourself!
