RAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! *Rips skin hair*

I'm getting goddamnsick of contradicting ALL of you because of the pathetic minute-thought suggestions that don't even work out well (THAT GOES FOR YOU, DL, DESTROYER (And minorly, Saxman). Honestly. Most of us have said this, and I've even told DL by PM. THINK BEFORE YOU POST) . But first...

No, it's not. And there is no oasis in the West! Just plenty of gun fights, riding cowboys, and like that. :awe:

You can't make gun fights, you can't ride cowboys, and you can't do like that.
It ends up as a Desert Oasis ripoff.

No, I meant a Secret Course! :awe:

Secret course? Wtf dude a secret course is a course but hidden!

And since we have no lobby on the LD...Yeah, won't work.

Um...wat

It won't have any challenge whatsorever.
Mr_SaxMan wrote:How about a futuristic level?

You mean a level with spamload of Moving Rotating Blocks? No.

Mr_SaxMan wrote:How about the new Mario Hotel?

Read the instruction book, that first says the game sucks, and a replica won't be any better.

Mr_SaxMan wrote:A level into the human body?

How the hell...?

Mr_SaxMan wrote:How about a level that makes no sense at all and is completely crazy?

This, my friend, is called a spam level.

Mr_SaxMan wrote:How about a level conveying Mario's emotion throughout the level's story with tile theme? Like angry is volcano and red, and adranaline and adventurousness Is the jungle tileset.

...Too story-focused.

Mr_SaxMan wrote:What about a theme with block pixel art, like the 8-bit Mario block art.

Erm...LDC isn't an Art Showcase.

Mr_SaxMan wrote:What about a rainbow level? A level with a rainbow, and then themes focusing on one color.

Too much cutoff, too bland, too Art-Showcase-wise, no challenge.

Mr_SaxMan wrote:How about an underground expedition, like Journey to the Center of the Earth?

Could work, but the theme is kinda too cliché, and it would kinda be long.

Mr_SaxMan wrote:How about a big and small level, like in the real SM64 level?

...no.

Just no.

Mr_SaxMan wrote:What about a horror level, not like the haunted house theme, but like a horror movie?

...Storyline-wise. Too much.

Mr_SaxMan wrote:Also, I second the factory idea, that would be cool, seeing what people could make.

Could work. We lack the proper tiles, however.




...Damn. I have some rage problems.

But seriously. Put a damn effort on your suggestions!

I kinda like it, if it requires you to be creative I'm hip. :awe:

I'm still keeping with my grasslands theme.

Lol Usu, I love your comments.

1. I post those ideas that weren't thought through because I'm bored.
2. I can make all of the levels you say wouldn't be good to make, or can't be made.
3. Though some ideas have weaknesses, I have SOME good ideas.
4. The ideas aren't supposed to be challenging just to get through making the level, but to show how creatively you can make the level, and its focus on its quality.
5. Five minutes, and five minutes ONLY, make up 10 ideas that go to your standards.

I'm not pissed, go ahead and keep criticing me, I'm just showing you MY psychological part in this dilema.

Why do you guys think that you have to come up with what are truthfully the most absurd level design ideas just to demand creativity from users? In other words, you don't have to be so "creative" with your themes in order for users blow you away with awesomeness--just look at the winners of the past LDCs! The themes of those LDCs were simple and accessible for everyone, but only the best truly come out on top. *Admires seventh LDC trophy*

Actually, !?! has made a good suggestion on the secret level, remember my ?????'s levels? It doesn't have to be a secret level, you make a confusing level that no one knows about and they have to find the secret shinesprite. [no red coins or silver stars, it'll ruin the levels]


Also, Usu, i can make lots of levels you can't, if you can't make that kind of level, then ignore it. Lots of others have made some whacky levels none of us can't. ;)

No offense destroyer, but your levels aren't exactly masterful.

Fine, a level theme that is Usuario THF and Blablob standards.

1. A type of tower... Idk, it could be a sky scraper, or an evil temple, some tourist attraction in the Mushroom Kingdom, etc.
2. A swamp/wetland area. Yes Usu, it CAN be done.
3. A toad city/town, with a suburbs, a line of towns, hotel, and other things a city has. Speaking of Hotel...
4. A hotel. Not Hotel Mario, just a hotel.
