There is a lot more to Mario Maker than its representation of other games.

I think allowing animated tiles would make this a lot more fun. I wouldn't mind being the one who manages the animated results. People would just post their nonanimated tiles in PNG or animated tiles in GIF form. I'll use a tool to place the tiles appropriately so it won't require much work from me. This should make the collaboration much more interesting and lively.

Off the top of my head, some issues would be the GIF memory size and the entire collab looping consistently. For the looping, we can restrict GIF frames to powers of 2 so that each animation would do a full loop within the longest tile's animation length. For example, 2 goes into 4 twice, into 8 four times, and 4 goes into 4 once, into 8 twice, and 8 into 8 once, etc. To keep the GIF size low, we can probably restrict animation lengths to 1 (no animation), 2, or 4.

You know what, let's scrap this. It's clear that this won't be finished, and no one even bothers to start over. So there is no point of keeping this topic stickied.

I still say we should scrap this. We've done all we can, and there's not much hope left to revitalizing it.

I propose making a new poll, i.e. "Should this Iso Collab be scrapped?" with the following answers:

"No."
"Yes, and plan a new Iso Collab."
"Yes, and maybe plan some other kind of collab."
"Yes, and don't plan any further collabs."

The collab will be scrapped if "No" receives less than half of the votes, even if it happens to be the majority among the four choices. The fate of collabs in the near future will be decided by the most preferred "Yes" option.
