It's here! The MFGG Super Mario Maker contest!
We're having a site and forum wide contest to design the best level based on your votes.

Rules!
The theme of this contest is: None! If we have other contests we might have themes or parameters, but this one I wanted to be purely any level.
-Use only your own levels.
-Post your level codes here! Thumbnails optional.
-Don't make automatic Mario levels, those are in a class of their own. Normal levels only.
-Entries will be accepted until October 6th, that's two weeks. Voting starts that day.
-Only one level per user. If you want to change your level you have to cancel the first one.
-Voting will be based on what you believe is your favorite level.

Here are some loose guidelines for voting for your favorite:
-Design: A well designed level is always good. A good theme, a good play feel.
-Challenge: More difficult levels are usually better than really easy levels. Though keep in mind Kaizo-y levels might be TOO tough...
-Low spamminess: If you clutter the level with way too many enemies, it might not be as good. There's challenge and there's crazy.
-Enjoyability: The right amount of design, challenge, and feel will make the level more enjoyable to play.

ImageImageImage
Special Competition badges will be given out for first, second, and third through fifth place.

This isn't meant to clash with the Privana contest, that's a multi-forum contest. This is MFGG only.

Now questions:
1. Once it's voting time, I'm torn if I should make an account for votes to be PM'ed to that I would manage, or if it should be public, because I don't know if that would sway things if it were to be public. What should I have?
2. If we have more Mario Maker contests, should we have a new designated badge for them? Like Minigame, Sprite, so on?

i think mario maker level comps should always have a set theme, that way judging them can be a bit more of an objective kinda thing. all the voting parameters you listed are a lot more on the subjective side of things, though it'd be better under a theme since there's a clear direction. ie if the theme was a haunted house level, you could do "how well does it convey the feeling of a haunted house?" over "how good does it look in general?"

I didn't even get Super Mario Maker yet but I'll be sure to pick it up especially for this occasion! I don't have many badges... :( So I hope I win!

Just to clarify: The levels need to have been uploaded after the competition has started, right?

For this one, probably not, I want to keep it open to what people have made. If you've made a good level, post it!
Everyone's made a bunch anyway.
If we do another one I might have no repeat levels.

I wanted the first one to just be favorite level, very open, since everyone has been making levels already they could submit them.
And the voting parameter suggestions are just guidelines and tips.
Actually talked with Vinnyvideo in PMs trying to see what to base the contest on, we feel "favorite" is broad enough and would include well designed and decently challenging levels.

As an experienced SMF2 level maker, I would easily win this. But I don't have Super Mario Maker...

That would make sense, considering how you can just make a level and just upload it later.


I which case I'll enter this:
Mario's under fire
ID: 43CA-0000-0049-D91D
A water level where Mario is under heavy fire. It's fairly short, but tough.

Alright, here's my newly created entry just for this contest!

The Mountainous Castle
83A3-0000-0069-2ACC

For this level, I tried putting everything I could and still make it a fully fleshed out Mario-esque level. Challenge awaits when approaching the castle parts, but the final result is still anything but too difficult to be suited for Mario.

I'll try to get Super Mario Maker soon!

By the way, are there certain times competitions are held, or just whenever? Also, do you always get badges for getting 3rd, 2nd or 1st?

Railway Riddle House
ID: 5B93-0000-0073-FF06

Image

This is my first level. I went on a marathon unlocking everything first, so I could make a really good first level. I spent 3-4 hours thinking out the gimmicks, how to make everything work and how to make it all look good and fun to play. Fun fact: I even ran out of ground when making this level.

Level Theme: SMB1
Environment: Ghost House / Castle (Sub)
Difficulty: Insane
Genre: Riddle / Hardcore

_________________

Cliax Codec is a combination of top-down and third-person shooter. The gameplay will blend platforming, puzzle and shmup elements together to create a unique gameplay experience. You will take control of four playable characters which rise against a team that seemingly wants to take over the world - but are their motives really that cliché, or are there deeper motives behind their actions?
