A New Super Mario Bros. Level Design Contest (NSMBLDC) - Submissions Thread

Link Thread Closed
This thread is only for submissions! All discussion of the contest and its entries go in the discussion thread!


Welcome everyone to the New Super Mario Bros. level design contest! This contest is a collaborative effort between SMW Central and the New Super Mario Bros. Hacking Domain, and both websites look forward to what you can cook up!


Participants have until 11:59 PM Central Standard Time on June 30th July 21st to create a custom New Super Mario Bros. level that shows off your best level design skills. The rules and restrictions are listed below; breaking them will result in disqualification:

1. You may only submit one entry.
2. You may work with a partner.
3. Your entry must edit level 1-1, which has the maximum 3 areas.
4. Your level must include a midway point.
5. Your level must include three properly working star coins.

That's it. Those are the only restrictions.



Judging will be done using the following criteria:

Level Design (/20): The meat of this contest. How well does your level play? Is it fun, creative, and interesting, or does the player just want it to end?
Functionality (/10): Are there any glitches that prevent the player from completing your level, or otherwise annoy the player? Pay specific attention to the camera.
Appeal (/10): Does your level look good? Is it barren, or well decorated? Note that you don't have to use custom tilesets to give your level appeal.



Judging Applications:

Since this contest is being held in two communities at once, the judges will reflect that. But there is a problem: we are missing an SMWC judge! If you would like to apply to be judge, simply play level 1-1 of this hack and send me a PM with your judging and criticisms as if it were a submission.

One judge and one backup judge will be selected based on your applications. In the case that the judge is unable to fulfill his/her duties, the backup judge will become the new judge. Judges are not allowed to submit levels, but backup judges are; if a backup judge later becomes a judge, his/her level will be disqualified.

Current Judges:
- ?????????? (SMWC)
- Dirbaio (NSMBHD)
- TRS



Resources and Important Links:

These are the basic resources you need to make and test your level:
- NSMBe, the editor. It also includes a patch creater and inserter. (Custom music functionality is currently not supported within the editor). (Note: the current version NSMBe has a small bug. When you first open the editor, a window will pop up. Click "download", and it should work fine from then on)
- DeSmuME, a DS emulator. This should be used for testing, and will be used for judging.
- NSMBHD has a resource forum and a tutorial forum for your browsing. Note that the resource forum is new and there isn't much there yet.
- Garmichael of NSMBHD has made a video tutorial teaching how to use the editor. You can find it here.



Prizes:

Prizes will be provided for the top 5 entries. They will be redeemable as Steam games of equal of lesser value and Amazon gift cards, or donations to the site in your name.

1st place: $15
2nd place: $10
3rd-5th places: $5


In addition to that, the top 3 placing entries will also receive trophies in the form of badges.



If you want to update your entry, make a new post! Do not edit your old post!

Join Silver's athletics! You'll sure get fit!#thp{LOL}
Well, I pointed mainly on Vanilla graphics and about the ground pound/walljump gimmick of NSMB. It's an easy-normal athletic level, hope you have fun as much as I did while creating it.#ab{:)}

Well, I didn't get as many testers as I wanted, but...

I'm amazed at how easy it is to learn and use the editor.
If I'm not mistaken, the contest submission period has just closed. Thanks to the participants for their entries and we will begin judging ASAP.
