A shame you can only use 10 characters. "Corona Quarantine Zone"

Ok let me put it this way.. It's the only reason.

Hate to tell you this, but financial gain (or to be precise, not missing out on potential ticket sales) is the reason they delayed this.

I made another 1-screen level.. A totally innocent 10 seconds speedrun. Just wholesome fun. DYK-Q2V-JJF You probably noticed @RedShell but I cleared another unplayed / unfinished level from my list, this time your Wigglers level. Level was fun and the boss was great!

No.. He clearly states he's not holding his Breath. If it was ready for this year he'd be holding it right now!

Haven't heard of it. So no.

As long as you don't feel rushed. As for me.. I have some fiddling to do.

It wasn't clearly stated before this morning, although I brought the same point up last time. To be safe you can just delete your level, this doesn't delete the clear state, so it's just a matter of re-uploading next time. But having one week to create your level was clear from the beginning!

I stumbled upon this one (while doing Mario Maker research). The youtuber is pretty dry and funny, and all the ports are interesting to watch. The Sega CD anime cutscenes are hilarious, and at the end is a side-by-side-by-side-by-side etc of a playthrough of level 1 of all the ports he covered.

Well, that went great!

Give me a few minutes @Vileplume2000, I want to have a quick race in single player to get a feel of the controls. Then I'll go join you.

<sigh> Learned something new today.. Slopes don't count for scrollstopping purposes. That's annoying.

Look like I'm not going anywhere today either (Mario Maker time! ), so around 20:00 CET is fine. You'll host, as I have no clue what you need for the league.

All right, that's clear, I'll update the OP later.

I don't think I'm going anywhere today, so let me know what time suits you.

I waited too long and missed out the first time, but SE has put the (physical) game back up on their store. I hesitated again, "is it really a must-buy?", but I did like the demo, so finally ordered it.

Especially as we seem to have more participants, we may have to agree on certain things I was thinking about. I've mentioned before I personally wasn't against multiple entries. Though in case it wasn't clear, "Spikes on a slope" wasn't a serious entry. But go ahead and play it. I'll delete it later, but will keep it online long enough for @londragon's son to suffer. But last time I also preferred having people upload their levels around the same time. For 2 reasons, one for the surprise factor, so all levels get played with the same fresh perspective, it may be different if you compare levels which you may have played days apart. Earlier levels have more opportunity to be analyzed and replayed. It could affect judgment both for better and for worse I suspect. The other reason is people may steal your ideas! The latter may not be an issue to people, but I think the first reason could be. But as I prefer not to have too many hard rules.. Which also leads to something in a similar vein to multiple entries: do we allow revisions? If we allow early uploads, people have more time to get criticism, and edit the level accordingly. I feel that goes against the spirit, so I personally don't want to allow it. So yeah, I've been thinking about those things, and I want to hear what you guys think. Multiple entries? Yes / No / No preference Early uploads? Yes / No / No preference Revisions? Yes / No / No preference So personally I have no preference regarding multiple entries, I'm inclined to say no to early uploads (Saturday at its earliest), though it's not a strong preference, and prefer not to allow revisions (at least until after the challenge obviously). Multiple entries? No preference Early uploads? No Revisions? No

I don't know why I was faffing around with shoes. Drybones shells are ok I'm guessing, @Glen-i?

So I don't know about you guys, but I'm already done!

So he's not trying to win I take it?

Is that the feeling you're son will be going for with his level?

@Glen-i, maybe it's fun to come up with a specific name for the challenge. For now it's just "March challenge: Spikes!" Maybe "March challenge: It's Spike!" Or "March challenge: Respect the Spike!" or "March challenge: All your base are belong to Spike!" or, well you get the idea.

March challenge: Spikes! It's March almost March! Time for the almost March Mario Maker challenge! The theme The theme this month is Spike! The levels will have to feature the enemy Spike! Not the spiky block things, those are officially called "Spike traps". Furthermore, your levels can only feature Spike, no other enemies are allowed. The snow variants are fine, as is using their projectiles on their own, as long as Spike himself features prominently.

Well there goes that idea. Spikes on a slope it is! (What if I cheat by killing the Goomba offscreen? No? Aw.)
