@Glen-i I don't think I've ever done completely alternative routes, but I like putting alternative platforms for the more skilled players on the same route, aka the speedrun route. This level just bar

Righto, I want all our levels to focus on Spike (The enemy). And not just that, but I don't want you using any other enemies. I think Spike is a pretty versatile tool, and we should see what nons

Just one more thing for clarification (and to put something on top of the spam :shakehead).

I assume you don't have anything against their snow variants?

I also assume you do have something against levels featuring only their projectiles?

And.. How do you feel about Kuribo shoes? I can't spawn them without the Goomba, but the game treats them as powerups.

Snow variant is fine. Spike balls by themselves are OK, but should not be more prominent then Spike himself. and no Kuribos Shoe, I don't want any other enemies showing up. Mario Party 10's 2nd best character deserves all the spotlight.

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".

[mention=16048]Glen-i[/mention], 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. :p

So we can use anything from the Terrain, Items and Gizmos palette, but only Spike from the Enemies one? Sounds like a fun challenge, I shall give it a go. :)

Pretty much, apart from the Dry Bone Shell and the shell helmets Mario can wear, you can use those.

And no Kuribos Shoe if you use one of the NES styles.

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. :p But go ahead and play it. I'll delete it later, but will keep it online long enough for @londragon's son to suffer. :p

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! :D 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’d vote No to all of those, although revisions should definitely be a Yes after the challenge ends.

Yep, I agree with No on everything as well. Especially on the early uploads. I feel it made my decision a lot fairer when I played each of the levels in quick succession and they were all fresh in my mind.

Of course, once the challenge results are in, editing is fine by me.

Likewise, gonna be a No from me on all counts dawg.  Ideally, we’d all aim for the same window of time for uploading as well; will make things more fun I reckon.

 

Of course, once the contest is over, go ahead and make whatever changes you want to make :)

Woops, I didn't really look at the rules so I already uploaded my level haha. Thought upload was this weekend and play until the next one.

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! :p
