Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Just thought I would try and encourage people (myself included) to try out a few fellow N-E'ers levels, and a competition seemed a good way to go about it... Suggested Rules: 1. Entrants need to submitted a single course. I'd suggest a 5* minimum entry requirement, but if an entrant doesn't have a 5* or higher course just choose one of their more popular courses. 2. Play 3 courses submitted by other competitors. 3. competitors must state clearly which three levels they are submitting if they have posted more than the limit. 4. Post to miiverse on the flagpole showing your completion time 5. If an entry course is deleted (including if it is deleted and readded) the entrant will receive a penalty rank score. 6. Entries course completion times will be accepted from 16/09 - 23/09 BST. Entry time will use forum post time, including last edited time (to stop a cheeky entry being snuck in after the deadline) Scoring. Each course will be scored individually according to rank (1st= 1 point, 2nd = 2 points etc) if a competitor fails to submit all 3 courses then they will receive a penalty rank score for each incomplete course. Once all 3 ranks are added together players will receive an overall competition rank. The penalty rank score will be equal to the total number of competitors + 1 How to submit a score: Once you have completed the level make sure to choose the comment option, leave a comment and the attached screen shot will show you on the flagpole along with your time. ** EDIT** New rules. submit up to 4 courses. As you can't play your own courses this acts as a handicap. Players who haven't submitted a single course will receive a 1 rank penalty on any courses they complete before submitting a course! (so if they came 1st on a course they will only receive points for being 2nd). I will try to do score boards for all courses with scores from N-E users, whether they have stated they are interested or not... I would ask that people verify the leader boards for their courses to check I haven't made a mistake (wrong user, not recognised a forum user's score.. included a time that falls outside of the allocated time etc.) Points will be given for every course you take part in so long as you are within the top 10 players for that course (shouldn't be hard to get into the top 5 on most courses!). Could you still pick 3 best courses though. I'll have two leader boards, one for those only completing 3 courses and focusing on those, and a general board that includes scores gained across all submitted courses in the allotted time. 5 days left to submit courses and times!

Posted September 15, 2015 Great idea. Leaderboards should be in the game, but this is awesome too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) I LITERALLY just uploaded the perfect speed run levels for this! The timing is just creepy! Use my 4 levels I just uploaded, I've built them with hidden speed run paths in mind! W1-1 C3E8-0000-003E-C124 W1-2 6510-0000-003E-C281 W1-3 897A-0000-003E-C682 W1-4 B2D8-0000-003E-CB46 If you want to stick with just 3, then use W1-2 to W1-4.

Posted September 15, 2015 Cool idea! While they're not designed to be speed ran (?), I'd like to submit a few of my levels.

Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) I actually only wanted 1 course from each entrant guys But I see no problem with multiple courses being submitted. What I would suggest is that each of the 3 courses chosen for the final submitted times are from 3 distinct different makers. Does that sound fair? So if I played W1-1-4 of Dcubed, but was 5th one level 1, 4th level 3 and 7ths on the other two, I would choose to submit my time for Dcubes W1-3. my second course could be one of Glen-i's courses, and the final course would need to be one submitted by someone else. unless dazzybee submits that cave course, in which case I'll be heading for a 5 point penalty Currently have the flu so I'm not really thinking straight so maybe it'll just work if people are sensible and don't submit 10 courses each.. some people can submit any and scrap restricting which levels can count to your 3 courses - just keep a restriction on playing your own levels?? Ok so the levels so far are below, new levels can be submitted up until 21/9, I'll update the first post with new courses as they get submitted. Dcubed W1-1 C3E8-0000-003E-C124 W1-2 6510-0000-003E-C281 W1-3 897A-0000-003E-C682 W1-4 B2D8-0000-003E-CB46 Glen-i G1-4 Easy Hard Castle (5A9D-0000-000F-D93C) HARD PATH ONLY!

Posted September 16, 2015 I quite like that idea actually, makes things quite organic It's also a sort of way of picking your favorite level of the bunch as well; adds a personal touch to your final score Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 16, 2015 Just wondering, do we need to submit a course to enter? I ask because none of mine really suit speed running. That was the plan. I would recommend you just pick your most starred/personal favourite/level you'd REALLY like people to try and just submit that. But as long as there is at least 1 course / entrant it's ok.. and there'll be just over 2 course/entrant even if you don't submit 1 course. Still, it would be nice, and would be my preference, to have 1 course just to add to the variety! Maybe I'm being dense, I assume this is for Super Mario Maker? Yeah it is, I realised I had missed the maker from the title but can't edit it.. maybe a mod could kindly add that helpful word in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I'm assuming that people aren't allowed to submit times from courses they made, right?) yup, so you're relying on everyone else to submit some courses. I'm also thinking people can have as many shots at a course as they like, so if you get a better time on that course at a later date post it and it can supersede the time you just posted up. I'll pop you up in the first post with your time and try out a few more of these courses. Edited September 16, 2015 by Pestneb Automerged Doublepost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for not being clear, I have a cold and the main thing is people have fun with it. You can play all the levels, but only three (of your choosing) will count. If you post a time then later improve it you can repost your better time.

Posted September 18, 2015 Glen-i.. how did you get 281!!! Dcubed, have you been able to better that time yourself?!? Seen a few others have played the level.. would be nice if they submitted times :P I may forcefully recruit people in if I get enough spare time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seen a few others have played the level.. would be nice if they submitted times :P I may forcefully recruit people in if I get enough spare time 281 is the best that I've managed on W1-4, but that wasn't a completely perfect run and I'm pretty sure that 282 is possible... W1-3 is definitely my favourite one to speed run though. If you can't beat his time, go for that one! I'm really happy with how it turned out!

I can see how he did it... but I'm just not consistent enough to pull it off myself. I guess I have five days to hone my skills... I think I'll try some of the unplayed levels first though, pick up a few easier points for the general board... then focus on trying to improve the 3 course board position!

I've recorded some footage of the best speed run paths of my levels. I'll probably upload them to my Youtube channel once the contest is over if people want to see the best (officially intended - if you can do even better than props to you! ) path through my levels As for my own entries? Well I finally have a few days off work over the next few days so you'll probably see me upload some best times today or tomorrow whenever I feel like doing some runs (I have Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows to tuck into after all!)

Posted September 18, 2015 Glen-i.. how did you get 281!!! Hard work and determination. Fine, I'll give an actual hint. Once the path starts to branch, you need to stick to the bottom of the screen, do that, and it's completely possible to run through without stopping. Figure the rest out yourself. Props to @Dcubed though, it's a very well-designed level. He claims 280 is possible, but I don't see how. He keeps going on about some nonsense with the "momentum of a moving platform" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2015 @Pestneb I've had a bash at two levels but the evidence is on Miiverse... Firstly I did @Dcubed world 1-1 in a new world record ( ) time of 478! And I also did your first level in a not sure if world record time of 444 I would also like to put forward another level of mine: Water Woes 1! 62F4-0000-0047-BFB7 I didn't make it with speed running in mine, more masochism, however if anyone fancies a challenge...
