[center]Welcome to the [b]3rd Mario Maker Level Contest![/b][/center] [center][size=150][b]Rules[/b][/size] Play fair. Nobody likes a level that's too difficult. Your level can be hard, just not too hard. You can't submit a level that was [b]uploaded[/b] before this contest started. If you have a work in progress level, or one that's nearly complete, feel free to finish and upload it. [size=150][b]Recommendations[/b][/size] Try not to max out the ground limit. You can use semisolid platforms to fill in walls.[/center] [center][size=150][b]Theme[/b][/size] What's the theme? Only Supah-Luigi knows![/center] [center][size=150][b]Other[/b][/size] The deadline is [b]February 15th, 2016[/b]. Top 5 voting will last two days. Final voting will last two days. Whoever wins can private message me a theme of their choice, along with additional requirements. The topic will be created on the [b]seventh[/b] of the next month. If there is enough demand, the theme can be changed.[/center]

Here it is folks, the time you've all been waiting for! The topic for this month's competition is... *drum roll* [size=200][b]"Aquatic Adventure"[/b][/size] Gamers generally believe that water levels are among some of the best levels in gaming! *wink wink* In order to pay tribute to our favorite level theme, we must create some new ones for all to enjoy. [size=150] [u][b]Rules & Requirements:[/b][/u][/size] 1a.) The level must have water, duh. 1b.) Your level doesn't have to strictly be a water level. However, At LEAST HALF of your level must take place underwater. You may alternate between an water theme and any other theme of your choice. Heck, have 2 different water sections. You may also start on the theme of your choice, if you do not want to start in the water. 2.) You must use AT LEAST 1 Fish Bones (underwater Dry Bones) that continuously spawns from a source of your choice. Wings are optional. 3.) At least 1 bumper ;) 4.) Take your time and have fun.

what is with you people and your bumper requirements??? But yeah I guess I'm in. I gotta try and win at least one of these things.

A general complaint with water levels is the player doesn't feel in control. Design your level to give the player a feeling of control!

I think I'll enter this one.

Design your level to give the player a feeling of control![/quote] Some people have issues with water levels, because they break up the pace. Perhaps you folks can come up with something that could spice things up. Try to keep folks on their toes, but don't try to overwhelm them. I want folks to step outside of their comfort zone on this one.

Sounds like fun. Do we send in entries via PM?

No, you just post them here (preferably through the [url=https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/]bookmark[/url] site) and each link is compiled into a single post once submissions end.

Reminder that this coming Monday is the deadline for submitted levels!

[s]My strategy of not making anything until the last minute so no one would enter worked[/s] [url=https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/869A-0000-01CE-31CE]I did my thing so here you go.[/url]

[url=https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/C286-0000-01B8-3B7B]Here is my level that most likely won't win[/url]

[url=https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/A898-0000-01CD-79B7]AH! Almost forgot to submit my level even though I had finished polishing it up much earlier![/url]

Considering it's 12:30 am, [b]submissions are now closed![/b]

Just a quick reminder to vote for your favorite level!

Well...um... I see this comp didn't get any buzz. It's a shame. I've finally gotten around to playing the other entries. So uh, my vote goes to Blutorus. Shout out to Koopatroopa323 for a couple neat set pieces. Also, I realized that I had removed a couple bumpers with the intention to moving them to another area and I had forgotten to replace them. I guess that means I'm disqualified. (Ironically, the last-minute rule I had tacked for the sake of being cheeky was the one that did me in) Unless you guys don't particularly care...

Eesh...this contest really [i]didn't[/i] get any notice. Oh well, hopefully more people can participate next time. Oh yeah, and badges have been handed out. (I'm not counting Supah-Luigi out though, just because he said he left some bumpers out by mistake.)

I think water being a requirement scared people off. That being said, I suppose I'll choose a theme again next month.

Wait, shouldn't Supah-Luigi get a Special Competition Runner Up badge instead of Special Competition Top Five? Because he and Koopatroopa323 didn't receive a single vote, meaning that they placed in the same place, or did Supah-Luigi get into a lower place because he didn't had a bumper in his level (by accident, that is)?

[s]You didn't see anything[/s]
