Let me start off by saying that I was very impressed by the turnout. I was also impressed by the overall level quality .. though it seems like only a handful of people actually designed according to the hints given in the bolded challenge. The goal was to create what you thought would be another door in Bowser's Castle. Some of you wound up designing full-scale levels, which .. well, defeats the purpose. The highest ranking levels of this contest are areas which could literally be interchanged with any of the old eight doors and still work. Don't fret though. If you took the 9th door thing literally and made more of a "final" area of Bowser's Castle, I still offered the same kind of judgment for those levels as well, for the most part.
As I'm sure you have realized by well, loading your level with ASM and graphics would have been a mistake in this contest, since you would have wasted too much time. Rather, the key to success here was to clearly focus on level design. There are a few users in the top 10-20 who implemented some unique ASM into their level, but the ASM actually complimented the design and wasn't overly ridiculous.
Enough talk. Here are the results.

I guess that's all for now. Keep in mind that this was a very difficult contest to judge, especially since it's one of the first where you're aiming to match the original SMW. If you have any issues with your ranking, you are more than welcome to fire me a PM.
That's all!
