| Post subject: | Sprite Competition ideas |
i'm totally copying and pasting this from the other topic So to go along with the fresh start of the forums, we're going to have a fresh start for the sprite competitions. But in order to have some of these competitions, and the first one, we need ideas. Cool thing here is, you can even go back to previous competitions that were done before. Obviously not ones that were done just within the past 7 months or so, but if you either remember or look back to ones done 2 years ago or so, we can see if members can get some new entries for an idea done before. So, even if you're not participating in the sprite competition, feel free to give ideas for different competitions that could potentially be used! |

And we'd prefer competitions centred around the Mario franchise. Keeps them on-topic and helps the main site. |

I wouldn't mind re-using some old ideas like the fantastic Hall of shame one I made some time ago. also, is it like ok to use compo ideas based off Donkey kong and wario franchise? also first sprite compo should be winter themed, maybe Mr.Blizzard or ice themed enemies. |

I think DK themes should be allowed. I mean I understand that you may want to keep them Mario themed, but Nintendo has shown time and time again that the Mario and DK series are connected, although it is a thin connection, it is still enough to justify the use of DK themes imo. |

Yoshi, DK and Wario are part of the Mario series, so yeah. I don't have any ideas for themes at the moment, but I'll be sure to post them here when I come up with some. |

How about New SMB Wii-exclusive enemies, or something based on the original Donkey Kong series? It would be great to have Sprite Competitions again that are well-run and actually useful for something. The last ones on the old MFGG were neither. |

-Mario Kart theme. This could be narrowed down to racers and karts in existing styles, an existing driver and kart in a new style, new kart designs, etc. -Mushroom Kingdom locations in different perspectives/etc. As in 3D worlds made 2D, RPG overworlds turned side-scrolling 2D levels and vise versa, etc. -"This would be an awesome fan-game"-style mock-up contests with a specific theme, with low-spec system constraints to keep things fair and less time-consuming. |

Take some generic enemies and make a leader boss. I actually like that! Maybe getting your usual sized Thwomp and make it Thwompous, a giant thwomp bigger than the universe   .... Hehe.

If that's the case we don't have much left to use as themes. |

My intentions for it were not really about being creative. Sprite competitions also have another purpose and can provide additional resources to the main site. "Creative" competitions, depending on how creative they are will not be useful resources. Besides, it seems traditional for the first competition on a new Mario forum to be Mario, at least to me. |
